It represents a quality, a trustworthy quality.
Therefore, many people like to buy army knives in Switzerland in order to be able to buy the original instead of the imitation.
When he got here, of course, Ye Chao would not let go of going to the authentic store to take a look and pick one.
After eating, buying, and naturally playing.
Switzerland is rich in tourism resources and has the reputation of a world park, and Ye Chao will certainly not let it go here.
Although Switzerland is only a small part of Europe geographically, the country's wealth of tourism is a great pleasure for travelers. With a variety of fascinating terrains and landscapes across the continent, a blend of natural and man-made, and a colourful Switzerland, there's something to find everywhere you look.
The early days of tourism began in the 19th century, but as early as the 17th century, literary and vivid descriptions of Switzerland's beautiful landscapes attracted the attention of the foreign elite.
Originally, tourism was just a summer business.
In winter, heavy snow blocked most roads, and winter sports were still in their infancy. At the end of the 19th century, it was at the initiative of the British that the winter holiday gradually became popular.
The "off-season" is often referred to as the few weeks in spring and autumn when tourists are sparsely populated.
Because there are many scenic spots that can be visited in both winter and summer, many scenic spots that are greatly affected by the seasonality are compensated for the hot spring baths or subsidized by the tourism association.
The new trend is that some attractive holidays have been followed by "wellness holidays" – including thermal baths, health farms, beauty and fitness, and many more, which can be carried out in a single hotel or a group of commercial establishments.
In Switzerland, more and more people are choosing to take a short break from the city for a day or a weekend. These have all benefited the development of mountain railways, steamships in the lake and mountain restaurants – but also at the expense of the traditional inn industry.
With the "Half-Fare" card, you can buy transport tickets in Switzerland at a discount, and the cardholder only pays half price.
Visitors can not only explore Switzerland on any of Switzerland's six legendary routes (Swiss Federal Railways, most private railways, lake cruises, coaches, the city transport system, and cable car excursions to the top of the mountain), but also get free advice on how to get to the train and bus stations in Switzerland, as well as the "Swiss Passage" in more than 30 Swiss cities.
There is also a Swiss Pass that allows you to travel from 4 days to 1 month. You can also buy the Swiss Flexi Pass for travel between 3 and 9 days in 1 month.
If you are travelling with a child between the ages of 6 and 16, you can ask for a free Swiss Family Kard, which allows your child to use the 'Swiss Pass' for free.
There are many interesting places, such as the Palace of Nations, this place is a place that Ye Chao must see.
The Palais des Nations, which used to be the seat of the League of Nations, is now the headquarters of the United Nations Office at Geneva. It is a symbol of Geneva as an international city and a microcosm of the world's recent history.
The Palais des Nations is located in the Parc Ariana, a hilly area on the right bank of Lake Léman, covering an area of 25 hectares (about 375 acres).
From the top of the park, you can overlook Lake Léman and Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe. The park was originally the private property of the Le Velio family, Gustave .
Le Vellio was the last member of the family, a writer and art collector, and his mother was named Ariane.
When his mother died, he named the garden Ariana as a sign of his remembrance. There is also an Ariana Museum, built by Le Vellio to house his large collection of Chinese and Japanese porcelain.
The Olympic Museum is located on the shores of Lausanne-lâché de l'Emon and was completed in 1993. At the entrance of the museum, there are columns of Greek art and the Olympic flame burns.
The exhibition hall is about 3,400 square meters and houses all kinds of art and souvenirs related to the Olympic Games, including stamps, torches, Olympic posters, commemorative coins, medals and paintings.
The cinema hall in the museum screens films about the 100-year history of the Olympic Games and the grand occasions of the previous summer and winter Olympic Games, which are very popular with tourists. The museum also has a world-class research center with a library, video department, photo room and resource center, with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment for sound, light, electricity and multimedia, and often hosts exhibitions, presentations and seminars.
According to statistics, more than 60% of visitors come from abroad. The library has an annual budget of 10 million Swiss francs. In 1995, the direct economic benefits amounted to 100 million Swiss francs.
Also, Chillon Castle is also a good place.
Chillon Castle is one of Switzerland's most prestigious monuments, located at the eastern end of Lake Geneva, jutting out on a small peninsula of megaliths on Lake Geneva.
It was inhabited during the Bronze Age, and later the Romans set up camp and built fortifications.
AFTER SEVERAL CHANGES OF OWNERSHIP, THE PENINSULA OF CHILLON WAS GREATLY EXPANDED BETWEEN THE 11TH AND 13TH CENTURIES BY THE SAVOYEN FAMILY, AND BASICALLY FORMED THE CLOSED FEUDAL CASTLE THAT PEOPLE SEE AS A MILITARY DEFENSE, STORAGE, PRISON, CHURCH AND ARISTOCRATIC COURT.
International Monument to the Reformation.
Behind the University of Geneva, along the ruins of the ancient city walls, there is a huge wall called the International Monument of the Reformation, also known as the Wall of the Reformers.
In addition to the large reliefs, there are eight smaller reliefs and captions in the lower part of the wall. This International Monument to the Reformation recreates the scene of the Reformation in Europe in the 16th century, and also tells the story of why Geneva became the "Protestant Rome".
Of the 1,498 lakes in Switzerland, Lake Leman is the largest.
It is also the largest lake in Western Europe, with an area of 582 square kilometres and a water storage capacity of 89 billion cubic metres, with a centerline length of 72.3 kilometres and a circumference of 167 kilometres, 95 kilometres on the northern shore (commonly known as the right bank) on the Swiss side and 72 kilometres on the southern shore (commonly known as the left bank) on the French side.
The lake is 14,000 meters wide at its widest point and 310 meters at its deepest point.
Lake Leman is a moraine lake.
It is said that during the Quaternary Ice Age, the Rhône, which originates in the Alps, was blocked by moraine material in the Ecluze region, so that it became a lake.
At that time, the lake had risen all the way to an altitude of 425 meters. Later, the Rhône received a new outlet and the lake gradually declined. The elevation of Lake Leman is 372 meters.
Rhine Falls.
Lheinfall is located on the Rhine River on the border of the Swiss cantons of Schaffhausen and Zurich.
The waterfall is 150 meters wide at its widest point, with a maximum drop of 21 meters and a depth of 13 meters. The average flow rate in summer is 700 cubic meters per second. The Rhine Falls is the largest waterfall in Europe.
Today, in the 21st century, the Rhine Falls have a history of more than 10,000 years. 20,000 years ago, there were no waterfalls, but the glacial activity and the diversion of the Rhine River led to the Rhine Falls that we see in the 21st century.
Interlaken.
INTERLAKEN (INTEL'LAKEN (MEANING "BETWEEN THE LAKES") IS ONE OF SWITZERLAND'S MOST FAMOUS SCENIC SPOTS, ABOUT 50 KILOMETERS FROM THE CITY OF BERNE, BETWEEN LAKES THUN AND BRIENZ, AND ONLY 568 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL.
Surrounded by mountains, green meadows are vast and open, the famous Jungfraujoch in Switzerland tops the snow-capped all year round, reflecting in the green lake, the distant mountains and near the water, the lake is rippling, and it is like being in a painting.
Lake Thun.
The city of Interlaken is bordered by Lake Thun to the west and Lake Brienz to the east.
Both lakes are elongated and narrow, slightly tilted to the north, and together they resemble a crescent moon disconnected in the middle. Among them, Lake Thun is larger, but the lake is not deep, and visitors can take a boat to swim, or drive or take a train along the lake for sightseeing. The exquisite villages or high slopes, or standing by the water's edge, are decorated with the charm of nature.
Spitz Scenic Area.
The town of Spitz is located more than 30 kilometers southeast of Bern, on the edge of a water bay on the south bank of Lake Thun, with an altitude of 628 meters, belonging to the Bernese Plateau. With its clear waters, snow-capped peaks and fresh air, it is a well-known retreat and water sports destination in Switzerland.
Founded in 1200, Spiez Castle is one of the few monuments in Switzerland with its medieval Bernese exterior architecture and interior decoration that blends Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque art forms.
The castle was once the summer residence of the Archons of Bern, so unlike other ancient cities in Europe, there was no facility to protect the city from enemies, but mainly for residential purposes. Wine cellars also used to replace prisoner prisons under the castle.
At the southern end of the courtyard is a chapel built in 762 AD in the style of an early Roman Bernese countryside. Since 1929, the castle has been in public ownership, managed by a special foundation, and opened to the public as a museum, with exhibits of relics and ancient furniture from the castle's previous owners.
Classical music concerts are also held here every summer, attracting guests from all over the world.
Zurich Stock Exchange.
The Zurich Stock Exchange was founded in 1873 and grew to become one of the world's largest securities markets after World War II. In 1976, the exchange's turnover exceeded CHF 100 billion for the first time.
By 1991, the exchange had a turnover of more than 500 billion Swiss francs and 3,000 listed securities. Twenty-four Swiss and foreign banks are members of the Zurich Stock Exchange Association. In addition, outside the exchange, there are a total of 234 brokers (banks) engaged in securities trading activities.
These places are what Ye Chao plans to go.
Although there is no place that you can't go to when traveling, not all places are so interesting.
Some places can be boring, so it's smartest to pick a place and then act. No matter how long a person's life expectancy, there is an end to life, so even if it is to play, it must be targeted.
