Chapter 467: Visiting Hamburg II
"And the face said, you bought this ticket, right? Don't you see it clearly when you buy it? Wasted it! More than 60 yuan is gone, enough for me to fish for a day! Wang Jian didn't bother about his appearance, but looked at the ticket in his hand that can only be used under the age of 30 and was worried.
"There are so many options, I have time to take a closer look there, no wonder it's called a vitality card, cost-effective Germans think that after 30 years old, there is no vitality, no trouble, no waste, you give me this ticket, keep it for tomorrow, you go to buy a hamburger card, it will be a few cents more expensive." Hong Tao is so sorry that he doesn't feel sorry for those few euros, and this kind of ticket is not a registered ticket, anyone can use it, just look at the date, and don't waste it.
The full name of the railway station in Hamburg should be called Hamburg Main Station, as for what it is called, Hong Tao is not clear, anyway, it is written on the street sign. Their bus stops on the south side of the main train station, and as soon as you step out of the door, you can see the church-like spire tower of the train station, and across the road from them is the Hamburg Museum of Arts and Crafts.
In terms of urban layout, Hamburg and Beijing have many similarities. Beijing Railway Station is the geographical, commercial and transportation center of Beijing; Hamburg Railway Station is also the geographical, commercial and transportation center of Hamburg, looking at the row of hotels and hostels on the street opposite the railway station, Hong Tao feels cordial from the heart, this is not the Beijing Railway Station!
But to be honest, it's just a big feeling, and there are a lot of differences in terms of architectural style, environment, cleanliness, and order.
"Director Hong, let's shoot the train station first. Or do you want to go to the museum first? Wang Jian carried the camera impatiently and began to talk about the film.
"Come on, Director Wang, now that you are Director Wang, I'll fight the machine." Hong Tao glanced at the big clock on the train station, it was already 9:20, and he had been relying on it for another 20 minutes, so hurry up and take over.
Hamburg's train station looks like a European church-style building, whether it's Baroque or Gothic. Hong Tao couldn't figure it out. In his opinion, anyway, it's all about the same. According to the tourist brochure, the railway station was built in 1906 and has been in use for more than 100 years. Although the original railway station had already been bombed by the Allies during World War II. But the railway station, which was rebuilt in 1958, also looks so quaint.
It is different from Beijing Railway Station and West Railway Station. The layout of this railway station is not so complicated, when the West Railway Station was just built, Hong Tao was a Beijinger. I actually got lost in it. After entering here, there is a lobby-like vestibule, full of shops on both sides, and there are quite a lot of people inside, but they are not so embarrassed, and there are no people carrying large bags and small bags to catch the train. Everyone is very comfortable, even relaxed, and if you don't look at the train timetable hanging high in the corner, it looks like a shopping mall.
Walking further, entering the platform area through a pair of escalators, the eyes suddenly open up, and the huge roof of the steel frame structure is overhead, which is probably larger than the Capital Gymnasium, and there are large glass windows on all sides, and the lighting is very good. On the ground, there are about 8 trains, and between the trains is the platform and waiting room.
Originally, Hong Tao and Wang Jian thought that the train stations abroad could not see the flow of people shoulder to shoulder, but the platform was indeed a bit shoulder to shoulder, and Hong Tao even felt a little in the way with the camera. With so many people flowing but not making a corresponding sound, the whole platform cannot be said to be very quiet, but it does not affect everyone's normal communication, at least there is no need to shout and talk. It seems that the problem of dirty mess in the train station has a lot to do with management, don't keep talking about people.
Similar to the hall at the entrance, there are many shops on the platform, flower shops, bakeries, cold drink shops, candy shops, fast food restaurants, supermarkets are almost complete, but the most is a beer bar, there is one almost a few steps away, the signs are in different colors, it seems that Germans really love to drink beer, even waiting for the train to have a drink.
After walking around the train station, the two of them walked along Menkberg Street all the way to the west, and most of the buildings on both sides were small buildings with 3 or 4 floors of spires, and the color was basically red, not painted exterior paint, but red bricks.
After passing by St. Ackoby's Church, St. Peter's Church, the Town Hall Building, St. Michael's Church, and then all the way north, I walked around the Hamburg Historical Museum, the Brahms Memorial, the Hamburg State Opera, and finally returned to the shore of the Alster Lake north of the Hamburg train station, and found a bench to sit down.
"I said Lao Wang, you are too good at walking, those churches are all the same, don't you just look at one, you can worship when you see the temple?" Since the camera arrived on Hong Tao's shoulder, Wang Jian has never carried it back, although the size of this machine is much smaller than the old-fashioned camera with tape, but the road is far away, always carrying such a thing to go shopping, it is still a little tired, at this time Hong Tao misses Wei Han very much.
"You're just a turtle, you know a fart, most of Europe's culture comes from religion, if you want to understand Europe, you have to understand their religion first." Wang Jian is like a university professor teaching a class, pointing to a spiky tower in the distance.
"You're wrong, that's the tower of the town hall, and the one on the left is the church." Hong Tao replied to Wang Jian's preaching with an extremely contemptuous expression, what kind of big-tailed wolf, you couldn't tell the difference between Christianity, Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity when you got off the plane, and you just lived for two days, and you started to play European culture?
"Can you have some taste?" Wang Jian put on an unlucky look of hating iron but not steel.
"Don't talk about that egg, did you notice, all the shops along the road are closed, what day of the week is today?" Hong Tao didn't have time to fight with him.
"It's supposed to be Saturday...... Oh no, it's Sunday, what's wrong? Wang Jian looked at his watch with a calendar and didn't understand what Hong Tao meant by asking the day of the week.
"It's a bad thing, we didn't look at the yellow calendar when we went out, why did we come out in time for Sunday, wait for me, I'll ask." Hong Tao slapped his thigh, as if he understood something, then shoved the camera into Wang Jian's arms, and trotted over to the two German policemen who were patrolling dozens of meters away.
"I asked clearly, it's Sunday, most of the shops are closed, except for the shops in one street, do you want to go and see it?" After a few minutes, Hong Tao ran back from the German police, and then mysteriously pointed to the north.
"You just said that the shops on that street are not closed, I don't think it's a good thing to see your expression." Wang Jian expressed doubts about Hong Tao's character.
"Those two policemen told me that only the shops in the red light district are closed, how about it, do you dare to go?" Hong Tao pointed in that direction again.
"I'm X, is this still a policeman! How can you point to such a place for tourists! You point me around, how do I go? After Wang Jian heard the three words of the red light district, it was like digging their ancestral grave, and his emotions immediately became excited, pointing to the back of the police and strongly protesting in Chinese, and then took out the map of Hamburg and signaled Hong Tao to mark the location on the map.
"You have a virtue with Liu Fatzi, you have different hearts, such people are the most colorful, you think more indiscriminately than anyone else, and you talk more openly than anyone else." The expression on Hong Tao's face was even more contemptuous, this was simply the second fat boss.
"It's done, don't talk about that useless thing, lead the way!" Wang Jian stood up and was about to open the way.
"Don't worry, foreign girls also have to have lunch, let's find a place to feed your stomach first, aren't you hungry?" Hong Tao only ate one croissant at Marx's house in the morning, and after strolling around all morning, his stomach was already empty.
The shops were closed, but the places to eat were not closed, on the contrary, there were quite a lot of people, and Hong Tao and Wang Jian easily found a thriving restaurant on the shore of the inner lake of the Alster, where there were almost no people, and most of the customers sat at the open-air round tables near the lake.
Hong Tao and Wang Jian also found an empty table to sit down, the environment here is good, the road on the left looks like a pedestrian street, next to the table is a meter away is the inner lake of the Alster, on top of a large green parasol. It's summer, but the temperature in Hamburg is around 20 degrees Celsius, which makes it very comfortable. (To be continued......)
