Chapter 764: Countries That Can Be Rented

The beauty of the European Alps has long been known to the world, both in past and present lives.

When he was in Zermatt and Zurich, the Grandmaster already thought that those two places were enough to represent the beauty of Switzerland and the Alps, but when he got off the Davos station of the glacier train, he realized that he had been wrong.

There is indeed no most beautiful scenery in this world, only more beautiful scenery!

The small town of Davos is nestled in the picturesque Sétic Mountain Gorge, which is less than 500 meters wide and flanked by peaks that rise to more than 2,500 meters.

As the highest town in the Alps, it's not only beautiful, but also incredibly good air. In fact, as early as the 19th century, when tuberculosis was still incurable, Davos became a well-known resort for patients with various lung diseases in Europe because of its high altitude and dry and fresh air.

These lung patients usually recuperate here in the summer, and I don't know who discovered that the winter here is actually better than the summer, and gradually Davos has developed into the largest natural ski resort in Switzerland and all of Europe.

Since the opening of the first natural ski resort in 1877, Davos has developed into the largest ski resort in Europe with 58 ski lifts, 320 km of ski slopes, 75 km of cross-country ski trails, two artificial ice rinks and the largest natural ice rink in Europe at an altitude of 1,124 to 2,844 m.

There are also no less than three toboggan runs all year round.

The ski resort in Davos is divided into seven areas, which surround the town of Davos and are nestled between the mountains on both sides of the Setik Gorge. In particular, the status of the ski resorts of Parson and Dallenil-irzeli is as sacred and unshakable as Mecca's place in the heart of Muslin.

In addition, the Visfröh Peak is also closely connected to a resort adjacent to Klosters. Mt. Yakobes is the best place for snowboarders, with halfpipes and loops.

Next to the slopes, there are thoughtful lounges, bars, clubs and fun entertainment, whether it's the world-famous Spengler Cup traditional ice hockey tournament, the World Cup cross-country race, or the international skating show "Art-on-Ice".

It's a skier's paradise!

Because of the terrain, Davos is a long and narrow town. It is less than 500 meters wide and nearly three kilometers long. Because it is a tourist attraction, there are all kinds of facilities here, bars, restaurants, guesthouses, shopping malls, golf fields, football fields, hockey fields...... Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying even saw a very luxurious casino when they were shopping......

Switzerland is not considered to be a permanent neutral country, but the Swiss are still very strong. The country has a policy of all the people being soldiers, so in this country of eight million people, everyone is a soldier.

The fierce folk customs have shaped the uninhibited lifestyle of the Swiss people, and in Switzerland, it is not only legal to gamble, but also to smoke hemp.

The casino in Davos, called "Cassino", is one of the 21 legal casinos in Switzerland.

The next day, because the weather was not very good, Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying did not go skiing, but wandered around the town for a day, transiting in the town in the morning, and after lunch, the two of them took a tourist carriage to enjoy the Davos Lake located in the north of the town.

On the third day, the weather improved, and the two of them rushed to the ski resort of Schatzalp/Strel, located west of the town.

Fang Zhengying doesn't look like a weak woman, but this girl's athletic talent is still quite high, and a championship of women's golf at the Kaesong Olympics is enough to prove this.

In fact, this girl knows much more than golf, she can play tennis, squash, billiards is also good, as for skiing, according to her words, she has skied quite well at the age of seven.

No way, with a good background, I have a lot of things to come into contact with, and I have learned a lot of things, which is determined by nature.

Skiing is definitely a new sport for the grandmaster, in his past and present life, since he was a child, he has only seen how to ski on TV, he has never even been to a ski resort, and he doesn't even know how to wear skis......

In Fang Zhengying's laughter, after the grandmaster fell several big heels in a row, he gradually mastered the skills of skiing.

No matter how good his physical fitness is, he can't stand the fact that he has never touched this thing, and it is inevitable that he will fall a few times.

However, as soon as the Grandmaster got used to the sport, his physical talent began to show its strength. In less than half an hour, this guy was able to control two skis to gallop quickly on the slopes.

Fang Zhengying was no stranger to this, if the grandmaster hadn't learned to ski within half an hour, Fang Zhengying would really think that her husband had changed someone......

Skiing is indeed an extremely exciting sport, especially when you are sliding down a professional slope with a lot of drops, and that feeling of speeding is definitely no worse than driving an F1 car.

After three days in Davos, Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying rented a car and drove northwest along Route 28.

After walking in the morning, it took more than an hour for the two of them to arrive in Liechtenstein, the sixth smallest country in the world.

Now that Davos has come, Liechtenstein, which is less than a hundred kilometers away from Davos, naturally cannot be spared.

This small country with a land area of only 160 square kilometers is less than 1% of the size of the Tiandu Special Economic Zone, and the country is still a very rare double landlocked country. The so-called double landlocked country means that the country itself is landlocked, and its neighbors are also landlocked.

At present, Liechtenstein is the only country on the planet that is doubly landlocked.

If in a previous life, there was another Central Asian country that was doubly landlocked with Liechtenstein, and that was Uzbekistan. But in this life, Uzbekistan is only a state of Dahua, so Liechtenstein is the only country left in the world, a double landlocked country.

The reason why he came to Liechtenstein was also Fang Zhengying's idea. In Fang Zhengying's words, this country is so interesting that coming to Switzerland and not going to Liechtenstein is simply for nothing.

At first, the grandmaster couldn't figure out why his daughter-in-law was so interested in this small landlocked country, but when Fang Zhengying explained, the grandmaster was also interested.

"The country is really interesting, and in 2011 the Liechtenstein Parliament decided that the whole country could be rented out to individuals on a temporary basis......"
