Chapter 567: Venice at Night
This matter can't be rushed, a lot of preliminary work needs a little bit of sorting out and foreshadowing, and it is impossible to directly recruit Sikong Yao into the International Gastronomy Research Association now, so the reviewers have no intention of raising this matter with Sikong Yao now, and they have to observe for a few more days to see if Sikong Yao is only three minutes hot.
Anyway, this visit to the Institute of the International Association for Gastronomy Studies lasted for three days, and the reviewers had time to contact Sikong Yao, so there was no need to rush at this time, so after dinner, the reviewers proposed: "Why don't I take you to visit the night view of Venice?" ”
The jury's proposal was well received by the crowd, who wondered what the night view of Venice, a city of water, would look like.
With longing and expectation, everyone reached a consensus almost instantly, anyway, there is no arrangement for these three days, and it is the best choice to appreciate the city's humanity and food according to the recommendations of the judges.
Venice is a beautiful city on the water, it is built on the water in the most unlikely place to build a city, the style of Venice is always inseparable from the "water", the winding water alleys, the flowing clear waves, she is like a romantic dream floating on the blue waves, the poetry and painting linger for a long time. At one time, this city had the most powerful human, material and powerful resources in Europe.
The charm of the Venetian blue sky and the loveliness of the night sky cannot be described in words. On that clear night, the surface of the lake is as level as a mirror, and even the reflection of the stars does not tremble in the slightest. Boating in the middle of the lake, surrounded by blue and tranquil. The air is so clear and transparent that there seem to be more stars in the night sky than in the north of France. The night sky was full of stars, and the deep blue of the night faded into a starry glow.
If you're looking for a sense of the freshness and tranquility that is unique to this area, head to the Royal Gardens on this enchanting evening and descend the marble steps to the edge of the canal. If only the gilded fence had been closed. Then you can take a ride in a unique Venetian dinghy called gondola. Swing away slowly. Go to the stone path where the sunset still lingers, and there will be no one to disturb your peace. The evening breeze blows gently from the tops of the linden trees, scattering petals on the water, and the faint aroma of geraniums and clovers hits you. The alabaster dome and spiral spire of the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore soar high in the night sky. Everything around. These include the clear water, blue sky and brightly colored marble, which is one of Venice's three wonders. All of them were smeared with a thin layer of silver glow. When the bell on the top floor of St. Mark's Basilica reverberates in the air, an indescribable sense of calm penetrates into your soul, making you feel that your whole body and mind have melted into a tranquility and stillness that is enough to forget everything!
Here is the method of construction. The first thing is to lay large stakes in the mud under the water, one by one, and this is the foundation, and then they are laid and laid with planks, and then they build houses, and all the houses there are built in this way. So it is said that the city of Venice is surrounded by stones above and forests below. In order to build Venice, all the forests in northern Italy were cut down. In such a house, there is no need to worry about the wood under the water rotting, it will not rot, and it will become harder and harder, and the longer it will last. Archaeologists previously excavated Marco? In Polo's former residence, the wood dug out was as hard as iron, and it only decayed when it was exposed to oxygen after it came out of the water.
Venice's fertile alluvial soil, local stones, and boats made of wood from the neighboring interior; Out of the silt, on the water, the ancestors built Venice. This city of less than 8 square kilometers is divided into more than 100 small islands by more than 100 cobweb-like canals, and the islands are only connected by various bridges. Fortunately, there is a Grand Canal that runs through the city in an S shape. Along this street, which is known as "the longest street in Venice", you can enjoy the best of Venice without worrying about getting lost. Nearly 200 palaces, mansions and seven churches along the shore, most of them built in the 14th and 16th centuries, in the Byfonting, Gothic, Baroque, Venetian and other styles, all of which are submerged in water, look like an art gallery rising from the water. On weekdays, the Grand Canal is really like a bustling street, with all kinds of boats coming and going on it, and the most chic is of course the gondola.
The gondola is a Ferrari in a Venetian boat. Speaking of gondolas, it is actually a single rocking boat that can take 6 people at the same time, a little similar to the small wooden boat in the south of the Yangtze River in China and the pig trough boat in Lugu Lake in Yunnan, the gondola is very fast on the water, because she has a peculiar shape, exquisite hull, luxurious interior, comfortable ride, and people have the feeling of sitting in a limousine. Of course, the cost of this kind of boat is not comparable to our domestic small wooden boats, a gondola costs 20,000 euros, equivalent to 200,000 yuan, and the high price is also one of the reasons why it is called a Ferrari on the water.
The gondolers deftly rowed the boat to its designated position, made a U-turn, turned, docked, lined up, arranged for visitors to sit in a position that was both comfortable and easy to balance, and then gently sailed the boat out of the dock. Most of the tourists in the group did not have enough time to queue up for a ride, so they had to go around the pier to watch the gondolas coming in and out, and taking pictures. The gondola swayed through the long and narrow alleys of water, and crossed one small bridge after another. Who would have thought that it would form a "golden partner" for tourism with the most embarrassing and helpless name among the 400 bridges.
Gondoliers will take tourists along the Grand Canal to enjoy the night scenery of this Venetian water city, many famous buildings in the night scene appear more chic, and the morning Venice is completely different time, the night Venice is like a kingdom in the fairy tale world, the water surface reflects the shadows of various lights and buildings, occasionally when the gondola tried, gently sliding a round of water waves, it makes all this hazy and shaky, people are deeply immersed in the automatic, beautiful Venice water city, Coupled with the chic and delicious food, it is even more screaming.
