963 That's lonely letterhead
readx;
Moving forward, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu's eyes lit up, and everyone stood here with bated breath, looking at everything in this palace in amazement. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the concert hall in Sanssouci Palace.
Frederick the Great loved music and nature, and the layout of the palace was naturally indispensable to the use of natural elements. It makes full use of the decorative effects of murals and mirrors, as well as painting, relief, gilding, inlay and other means to arrange the space elegantly and brilliantly. The roof of the concert hall is made of cobwebs and grapevines woven with gold wire, which makes Yunluo and Yan Shenyu jaw-dropping.
These halls are not only in the decoration of the roof and walls, but also in the design and production of furniture such as tables, chairs, cabinets, beds, cabinets, and tables.
Frederick the Great admired the Rococo fashion, and the Sanssouci Palace introduced Rococo as the most beautiful. Between the halls and rooms, most of them are based on warm colors of yellow or red, laying murals, hanging mirrors, stacking golden curves, and inlaying brilliance until they are brilliant.
Frederick the Great was also a lover of literature and philosophy, and at a time when the Enlightenment was on the rise, he invited Voltaire to treat him as a guest. Under the influence of Voltaire, Frederick promoted the military, emphasized the legal system, and promoted rational thinking, and soon built Prussia into a great power in Central Europe.
In this exquisite decoration and furnishing environment, there are also many gold, silver and jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other antiques and artworks displayed in each hall, making the room full of jewels and shining brightly. Hesitating in these or luxury, or elegant. Or gorgeous, or witty halls, from time to time make people feel the illusion of traveling through time and space. It's hard to tell what style of construction is there.
Walking out of the palace, you will see a Baroque ornamental garden built in 1745 in the open space below the mountain, and from 1748 a cistern with a fountain was built in the very center of the garden. Sadly, Frederick the Great never saw the fountain spewing water. Because in his time, there was not enough technology for the fountain to spew water.
Between the fountain and the palace, there are six tiers of terraced terraces, each of which is covered with green grape trellises. There is also a green tower pine to protect the stage. In order to facilitate access, more than 100 steps are built between the platforms. Climbing up the stairs, there is a feeling of looking up.
There is no fence to this garden. The ingenious combination of natural scenery and artificial structures makes the palace standing on the hill and the garden of the plain integrated, showing a charm that is both graceful and luxurious.
On one side of Sanssouci Palace, there is a pavilion that is not magnificent but resplendent in gold. The building is known as the Chinese Tea House (chinesischeshaus).
Huaguo Building is a round pavilion. Surrounded by statues of various Asian figures, all of which are indeed gilded, including the entire pavilion wall, is gilded. At the top of the building, there is a statue of the Monkey King imaginary made according to the legend of Huaguo.
However, it is a pity that Frederick the Great himself never really left Europe in his life, and the Europeans of the same period had quite limited mutual exchanges with China at that time, so when arranging and designing statues, a large number of Westerners, including the Emperor himself, imagined the Orient.
If you look closely at those statues, you will feel that although they are somewhat similar to the so-called Chinese people. But many of the characters still have the shadow of Europeans in them.
Sanssouci learned a lot from Versailles, which represented the highest achievement of Baroque garden art at the time. It is the object of emulation by dignitaries and nobles from various European countries. The symmetrical layout and delicate details of Sanssouci Palace can be found in Versailles.
Looking at this palace, which does not necessarily represent the highest level in Europe, but is also dazzling, Yunluo's mood is not jealousy and shame, but joy, envy and admiration, because all palaces do not belong to the private relics of any king or emperor, it is the common property of the people of the world and the crystallization of human ingenuity.
It is the product of social development and progress, and the accumulation and display of the planetary civilization of Yunluo and Yan Shenyu. Thinking of these, Yunluo's mood felt open and proud.
Walking out of the palace, standing on the stepped steps, looking forward at the vast and distant blue sky and the open and grand palace, looking at the wisps of tourists, Yunluo vaguely saw the magnificent palaces and palaces all over the world under the vast sky, and there was a burst of emotion in my heart, and I was completely carefree.
On the way back to the station, you can see the small town of Potsdam. You can sit in the taverns of the Dutch Quarter in the inner city, which in the thirties of the 18th century saw a large influx of Dutch people to Prussia.
The streets are not too wide, flanked by more than 150 red-brick buildings in a typical Dutch style, and the Dutch people who lived here had a great influence on the prosperity of Potsdam after the 30-year war.
The thought of leaving Berlin, a city where old and modern are in harmony, is a bit of a reluctance. In order to usher in the World Cup, Berlin Central Railway Station, known as the most beautiful railway station in the world, was inaugurated and cut the ribbon.
The five-storey steel and glass building, which took 10 years and cost 13 billion euros to build, occupies an area of 1. With 50,000 square meters, it has become the largest railway station in Europe and the third landmark building in Berlin after the Reichstag and the Brandenburg Gate.
The Eurail Pass, or Eurail Pass, is a one-ticket travel pass for tourists from outside Europe.
Yunluo and Yan Shenyu sell an 8-day pass for Germany + Benelux, which allows you to travel on unlimited trains in 4 countries in Germany. The Eurail Pass is a very convenient means of transport for independent travel in Europe, and the price of a 2nd class ticket for 4 adults is also very cheap.
About 2 hours away, looking at the idyllic scenery along the way, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu came to Hamburg. The full name of Hamburg is the Free City of Hamburg and the Hanseatic Free City, which is also one of the sixteen states of Germany, second only to Berlin, and is the second largest city in Germany.
It is also one of the world's famous water cities and the city with the most bridges in Europe. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu got out of the train station, and they didn't go far to the hotel Motelone where they stayed.
Standing in a 16-storey room, you can look down on many corners of the city. There is the busy port of Hamburg in the distance, the spires of 5 churches, and the studded sailboats on the Alster. There are also Hamburg balconies full of flowers and greenery.
Also known as the Green Town, Hamburg is the greenest city in Germany. The Alster lake, nestled in the middle of the city, is a picturesque landscape with five cathedral minarets to the south. The Baroque Michel Church is the symbol of Hamburg, and ships approaching Hamburg just by looking at its towering bell tower.
Hamburg is located on the Baltic Sea, in the heart of Europe, facing the sea on one side. It is connected to land on three sides, and the water and land transportation is extremely convenient. The weather is slightly cooler than in Berlin, and today it is cloudy again. After a short rest, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu went to the Hamburg Fish Market. To understand a city, you should also start by understanding people's lives.
The Port of Hamburg is Germany's largest port, with six of its many wharves dedicated to the handling of fish. The marina has a large sea reservoir. Freezer and modern loading and unloading sites and world-class modern loading and unloading equipment.
The short berthing times, the high efficiency of loading and unloading and the world's highest fish retention of all types of fishing vessels make Hamburg the largest fish distribution center in Europe.
Located on the banks of the Elbe River on the south side of the fishing port, the Hamburg Fish Market has a history of more than 160 years and is now a famous tourist attraction with its retro character, not only as a market for fish and other commodities.
From 6 o'clock on Sunday morning, the fish market is already bustling with people. In the mile-long fish market, the kiosks made of vehicles or wooden planks are decorated with colorful slogans, colorful balloons and giant inflatable fish animal models.
All kinds of fresh fish and seafood cannot be completely named. Mouth-watering for its enticing colour and tangy flavours, this burger breakfast is served not only with fish but also with seafood. The price is not high, about 3 a.
The fish market sells not only fish, but also fresh fruits, chocolates, sweets and flowers. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu stopped in front of a fruit stall, which seemed to be a big business, and the hawking caused many customers to stop and watch.
The Hamburg Fish Market is sold live by auction, which has been used for more than 100 years and is still a popular gem in the hands of fish dealers. I saw that the front of the big platform was crowded with people, and the seller stood on the table and shouted again and again while throwing the fruit into the basket.
After a while, the basket was full, and the seller saw that everyone was willing to pay, so he stopped shouting, everyone 10 baskets, paid and put them in the basket, and seemed to be satisfied with buying a basket of fruits.
After eating a seafood burger for breakfast, I found that there were sweets in the fish market, as well as fresh fruits and flowers, which was simply overwhelming, and it was a pity that I didn't buy a basket of fruits.
Yunluo and Yan Shenyu saw a lot of motorcycles on their way to the church of St. Michel, and wondered how they gathered here. It turned out later that it was an event for all motorcycles, and people from all over Germany gathered to participate in the event.
The Michel Church is located on a high hill not far from the north bank of the Elbe, west of the town hall. Founded in the 17th century and 132 meters high, the entire bell tower is patina, the most important Baroque church in northern Germany, and the minaret of Michel Church is the symbol of the city of Hamburg.
Although the church is not as extravagant as the Berlin Cathedral, it is very beautifully decorated, with a slightly petaled cross-shaped plan, a bright white color palette, and an altar and calyx-shaped pulpit of marble in the Italian style.
From the church's bell tower, you can see the busy port of Hamburg and the Hamburg City Hall.
Not far from the Michel Church, there is also the remains of a church that was destroyed by a bombing, and when you walk to the last remaining bell tower of the church, you will know that it is the church of St. Nicholas.
Judging by its remaining stone carvings and its entire volume, this was also a very large and historic church. The wreckage of the bell tower was reinforced with a steel frame to prevent its components from collapsing and affecting safety, and the rest was not repaired in any way, and even the scorch marks of the fire are vividly visible.
The square in front of the church is where it was blown up, and a glass pyramid in front of it can be seen in the underground museum to see what the church looked like before the bombing.
A short walk is a short walk to the green-roofed Hamburg City Hall that you just saw from the minaret. Built in 1886 and taking 11 years to complete, the Town Hall is a neo-baroque building built in the second half of the 19th century, decorated with monumental and symbolic works of art.
The whole building is made of sandstone, except for the copper green roof, the appearance is smoky gray, simple and elegant. The central minaret of the municipal building is 112 meters high and is one of the most striking buildings in the city of Hamburg. The bell tower is fitted with a gilded Imperial Eagle, a symbol of German unity.
According to the introduction, the town hall is large, with a total of 647 rooms on four floors, which is more than the rooms of Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, and it is said to be the most luxurious and beautiful town hall in Europe.
Entering the town hall, you will see two rows of stout stone columns in the hall on the ground floor, with a total of 16 columns. Each column has four figure reliefs, among which are the well-known dramatist Lessing, the musician Brahms and the physicist Hertz.
The 46-metre-long, 18-metre-wide and 15-metre-high Municipal Banquet and Reception Hall features portraits depicting the history of Hamburg. In the Mayor's Hall, the Hanseatic League's gold book is kept, and the bronze medallion is engraved with the names of the mayors of Hamburg from 1264 to 1912.
On the second floor, between the windows are statues of 20 famous German emperors. In the municipal building, there is also a magnificent Grand Ballroom, a Civic Hall, and an Emperor's Hall. The tower hall and the phoenix hall, etc., each hall is exquisitely decorated, each with its own characteristics, and it is worth seeing.
The mosaic of Hamburg's patron saint, Harmonia, is placed in a semicircular niche above the end (front) of the town hall building, and the golden Latin word means that the freedom won by our ancestors should be doubled.
Take another look at this magnificent building from the shores of the Alster.
The Alster is divided into inner and outer lakes, and the Kennedybrucke and Lombardsbrucke bridges between the two lakes are a great place to enjoy a panoramic view of Hamburg, and the inner Alster is located east of the town hall square.
Like a pearl inlaid in the center of the city, on the picturesque and beautiful lake, the colorful sails are dotted, and the swans gracefully shuttle in the sparkling waves. People love to walk around the Alster, as this is the best place to rest in the water-friendly green city.
I can't help but sigh that the city nurtured by the Elbe River has always had a magical ability to repair and renew itself in the long and bumpy history.
700 years ago, the Hanseatic spirit of unanimity and peace externally, today's free Hanseatic City's self-proclaimed Hamburg is displayed in front of Yunluo and Yan Shenyu, which is a refinement of openness, diversity, creativity, with the spirit of the new Hanseatic, but also brings Yunluo a wonderful time of freedom.
