Drinking authentic beer and tasting the authentic food here, Ye Chao is not in a hurry to find a beautiful woman.

In Brussels, the Atomium, was a place he wanted to see.

A long time ago, when he was in junior high school in Tengcheng, Ye Chao wanted to come and see this place, but his physical condition at that time did not allow him to come.

Now, although he is like an idle cloud and a wild crane, he can go wherever he wants, but at this point, it is not impossible to casually end his wish at that time.

Located in the northwestern suburbs of Brussels, the Atomium is one of the top ten scenic spots in Brussels, and is known as the Eiffel Tower of Belgium.

Located in a park on the northern outskirts of Brussels, the Atomium was conceived as a 165 billion times magnification of the model of the metallic iron molecule. The tower is a cube of thick steel pipes connecting nine huge metal balls.

The 8 spheres of the Atomium are located at the 8 corners of the cube, and the other sphere is located in the center of the cube. The diameter of the round ball is 18 meters, and the connecting steel pipes between the various spheres are 26 meters long, 3 meters in diameter, 102 meters high, and the total building weight is 2,200 tons.

Originally designed for the 1958 Belgian World's Fair, the Atomium was originally planned to remain for only six months, but later became a landmark in Brussels.

Visitors can take the elevator to the top ball revolving restaurant, which is 100 meters above the ground, and enjoy the scenery of Brussels while eating.

The tower is made of thick steel pipes connecting 9 huge metal spheres into a cube, the 8 balls of the atomium are located at the 8 corners of the cube, and the other ball is located in the center of the cube, and its design concept is to magnify the model of metal iron atoms by 165 billion times.

Its 9 balls represent 9 iron atoms and also symbolize the 9 provinces of Belgium. The diameter of the ball is 18 meters, and the connecting steel pipes between the individual spheres are 26 meters long and 3 meters in diameter. The total weight of the building is 2,200 tons, and the height is 102 meters. The balls are connected to each other by stainless steel pipes with a length of 26 meters and a diameter of about 3 meters.

There is a quick elevator from the ground to the top of the highest ball, while there are escalators in each of the other balls, allowing people to move freely between each ball. According to reports, the entire Atomium can accommodate 250 people at the same time, and there is a large restaurant that can accommodate 140 people at the same time.

Located at the top of the Atomium, the Sphere is a scenic area dedicated to visitors, and it is about 92 meters high, roughly the same height as the second level of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Visitors can enjoy the stunning scenery of Brussels through the surrounding plexiglass glass.

As you can imagine, when you're in the middle of an "atom" and you're looking at the Earth, that unique feeling must be unforgettable.

In the other spheres, there are exhibitions with atomic energy and nuclear technology as the main contents, among which the exhibition on astronautics is the most detailed and eye-catching, and there are other exhibition halls involving solar energy, astronomy, geography and popular science knowledge. The Atomium was established in 1955, and after 18 months of design and 18 months of construction, it was completed in 1958, and was originally planned to remain for only 6 months.

It is a landmark building built by the Belgian government for the World Exposition (Universal Exposition) held in Brussels that year, and the famous Belgian architect Ang Watkan was responsible for the design task.

When Aung Watchan designed the building, he designed nine spheres based on the principle that an iron molecule is made up of nine iron atoms. Here, each sphere symbolizes an iron atom, and the spheres are grouped together in strict accordance with the cubic crystal structure of iron molecules, thus forming a huge iron molecule.

According to the tour guide, the reason why Aung Watkan designed such a novel plan at that time is said to have taken into account two factors: one is to imply that Europe at that time had just come out of the shadow of World War II and was entering a period of rapid economic development.

The creator chose to use a huge building to show the microcosm of the atomic structure, which not only expresses people's vision of the bright future of developing atomic energy, but also symbolizes that mankind has entered a new era of science, peace, development and progress.

Another meaning is that there were 9 member states of the European Community at that time, and Belgium had exactly 9 provinces, so that the whole shape of the Atomium became a symbol of Belgium and the European Community.

The 9 balls are connected by thick steel pipes, and the total weight of the balls and pipes is 2,200 tons.

The nine balls are connected by an escalator, surrounded by a large bright plexiglass and equipped with telescopes that can accommodate up to 250 visitors at a time.

Each sphere has a scientific and technological knowledge exhibition room. The content includes the peaceful use of atomic energy, space technology, solar energy, astronomy, geography and popular science.

In China.

In Tengcheng, not every student who has learned about the atom knows about the Belgian Atomium and has the opportunity to come to it. Those who are fortunate enough to be here are either rich or rich and have time.

Some people have time, but they don't have the money, so they can't get there. Some people have money, but they are busy with life and career, and they don't have time, and they can't get there.

The huge Atomium shows how remarkable the ingenuity and creativity of human beings are.

When he arrived in the city, Ye Chao also stopped by the Royal Palace of Brussels, Belgium.

Located next to the Parc de Bruxelles, the Royal Palace of Brussels is one of Belgium's most majestic buildings, destroyed by the French and rebuilt in 1695 and in use in 1820.

Renovated in 1904 and rebuilt in the Louis 16 style, the Palais Royal served as the country's welcome building and the office of King Albert II.

It is nominally the official residence of the Belgian royal family, but the King and Queen do not live here. As a government agency of the country, the Changing of the Guard ceremony is held here every day.

Like other royal palaces, the Royal Palace of Brussels has a stately design.

The marble building is covered with reliefs, which is magnificent and spectacular. The palace is surrounded by Baroque architecture. The interior of the palace is modeled after the French Versailles, and is decorated with a large number of frescoes and crystal lights.

It features a magnificent ballroom, an elegant reception room, precious works of art, antique furniture and exquisite carpets.

In ancient times, the palace was the residence of the Belgian kings.

If there is no flag on the top of the palace, it means that the king is not in the palace, and the palace is open to the public for free.

From the Royal Palace, you can look down on the whole city of Brussels.

Brussels is an old city, with ancient buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries everywhere.

In front of the Royal Palace is the Brussels Park, and behind the park is the National Palace, the office of the Belgian Parliament.

The Royal Palace is only open in the summer, and those interested can visit the BELvue museum, a museum next to the palace, which exhibits the history of the Belgian royal family.

To visit the Royal Palace of Brussels, you must see the most famous statue of Brussels.

This little boy was called "the first citizen of Brussels." ”

The story of Peeing has been widely spread in Belgium, ancient and modern. It is said that when the ancient Spanish invaders evacuated Brussels, they wanted to blow up the city with explosives at night, but fortunately they encountered Xiaolian going out to pee, extinguishing the fuse and saving the city and its citizens from disaster, while Xiaolian died under the arrow.

In honour of this little hero, the local government carved this bronze statue in his honor and it has become a must-see for visitors to Brussels.

The statue of Xiao Lian is the image of no clothes, people think that the little boy is not good without clothes, and later the Dutch governor made the first set of clothes for him, and since then rich merchants and guests from all over the world have sent him all kinds of national costumes.

He was also able to change his clothes from time to time.

A museum has been set up in the center of the city to collect a large number of costumes sent from various countries. Among them are the military uniforms of the Chinese People's Liberation Army presented by China and the Han placket trousers sent by Beijing when Brussels was founded for thousands of years.
