Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is known for its open sex culture and is known as the "Sex Capital of the World". According to statistics, more than 40% of homosexuals in Amsterdam get married every year. In China, it is called the Sex City (the source can be found in the "Great Historical Records"), the British call it Sex City, and the French call it Sexe Ville, although the name varies from country to country, it is undeniable that it is a city that is inseparable from sex.

Amsterdam is home to the world-famous Red Light District, popular and affordable sex museums, and more than 60 museums of fine arts and art.

The streets of Amsterdam are crowded and mixed: people of different colors, dressed in different colors, tourists and locals, beggars and entertainers, giants and gnomes more than two meters tall, all in one place, but they all seem to be in one place, lively and orderly.

The streets are bustling with people, and there is a strong atmosphere of the market everywhere.

Amsterdam is more of a "small citizen city". The people in this city are in a hurry, their expressions are calm and indifferent, and they don't look strange. Amsterdam seems to have room for all the weird and the other.

It can be said that Amsterdam is simply a big experimental field of human nature, testing the bottom line of people's moral tolerance. But the results of the experiment don't seem to be a big deal. Amsterdam may be a big dye vat, and its colors may be too mottled and intricate, but it's certainly not the most dangerous place in the world – even though it houses so many things that might otherwise be considered dangerous, immoral, or even illegal.

Amsterdam may seem like a mystery: what makes the city so tolerant? Some say that because of its low-lying terrain, the people of Amsterdammer managed to build a city below sea level, and they were constantly afraid of floods, so they knew how to have fun in time.

It is also said that because reclamation requires the help of outsiders, the Dutch welcome outsiders and are extremely tolerant of all kinds of foreign things, so it is not surprising that the Queen of the Netherlands has a foreign husband, and the Dutch speak fluent English.
