Chapter 228: Night in the Water City

The minibus drove on the highway for almost three hours and noticeably began to slow down.

The members of the Golden Autumn Regiment in the car also woke up from their sleep one by one.

After a while, I heard the tour guide Xiao Luo speak with a microphone:

"Dear friends, the Amsterdam you are looking forward to visiting has arrived!"

"Ah——, got to Amsterdam so soon? Great! ”

Tourists on the bus,. Many people happily rubbed their eyes and looked out of the car.

"Is this still fast? It's almost six o'clock! ”

After listening to the cheers of one of his companions in front of him, Yumedu stretched out his watch to look at it and muttered to himself.

However, the tourists on the bus were all excitedly watching the city of Amsterdam at this time, as if no one heard him muttering.

"Well, today, the hotel we are staying at is in the city. In order to make the most of the time, and to give everyone an early visit to Amsterdam, we are now going to visit the central neighborhood of Amsterdam. After the visit, go to the Chinese restaurant to eat, and then go to the hotel, do you think about it? ”

"Okay, that's the best arrangement! Xiao Luo, just do as you say! ”

Shandong Dahan Liu immediately responded.

"Yes, visit first, then eat, and then stay in a hotel! That's it! I'm not hungry right now anyway. ”

Mengdu also responded loudly with Mr. Liu.

"Okay, let's visit first. We are also in favor of visiting first, then eating, and then staying in a hotel. ”

Many of the other tourists on the bus also responded.

So, the tour guide Xiao Luo talked to the driver in French.

After the driver nodded, the minibus continued to move forward for less than five minutes before coming to a stop in a parking lot full of vehicles.

When the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment got off the bus, the first thing that caught their eyes was a river about 30 meters wide.

In the riverbed, clear water flows;

In the flowing river, you can see countless small boats, cruising silently.

The most amazing thing is that on the surface of this flowing river, there are small buildings of three and four floors.

The number of buildings is so large that it is not clear how many people are called.

This small building, just like the tour guide Xiao Luo introduced in the car, the exterior walls are either decorated with red and yellow, or decorated with blue and green, and the color is old, making all the buildings look simple and old, and they are as cute as dollhouses built by people.

Look at the streets on both sides of the river:

There are a few cars moving on the streets, unhurriedly;

On the sidewalk, there are some pedestrians in twos and threes, each walking in their own way, each walking in their own way, and not talking to each other; But one by one seems to be leisurely.

At this time, the sky is dark, it is the time for the major buildings and landscapes in the city to be lit up, and tourists can see that all directions in the southeast, northwest, and here and there are lit up with patches of red, yellow, purple, blue, green and other colorful lights.

In the blink of an eye, the whole city has been decorated with colorful and dazzling brilliance!

Under the glow of colorful lights, a huge water enters the city, people live on the water, people and water depend on each other, and the magnificent landscape of the unity of nature and man leaps into people's eyes, just like a huge oil painting painted by heaven!

Ahh

Magnificent Amsterdam!

Before the official visit, the members of the "Golden Autumn Group" were intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in front of them!

"Friends, where we are right now, right in the heart of Amsterdam! Now, please follow me to the main attractions in the city. ”

After the tour guide Xiao Luo let the members of the Golden Autumn Group enjoy the beautiful night view of Amsterdam, he led everyone along a street that was not very wide, walked forward for about ten minutes, and then stood in front of an ancient Gothic building, and introduced to everyone:

"Amsterdam is not only a world-famous port city, a trading city, but also a famous city of European culture and art.

While in the city, there are a total of 40 museums. One of the most famous is the National Museum!

In the National Museum, the total number of works of art in the collection is more than 1 million. Many of them are the work of world-renowned masters such as Rembrandt, Hals and Vermeer.

In the Municipal Museum of Modern Art and the Van Gogh Museum, it is mainly known for its collection of 17th-century Dutch art. For example, the famous Dutch painter Van Gogh, completed "The Wheat Field with a Flock of Crows" and "The Farmer Eating Potatoes" two days before his death, which are displayed in the Van Gogh Museum.

It can be said that although the city has undergone thousands of years of historical changes, its original appearance from the golden age of development is now largely intact.

The city of Amsterdam itself is a living museum of history and reality!

Today, we have witnessed the beauty of the city with our own eyes. Everyone, please see, the beautiful canal intertwined with the scenery of the 'water capital' is now unfolding in front of our eyes! ”

After everyone watched the beautiful night view of Amsterdam again, she pointed to the ancient buildings that were faintly visible in the city, and continued to introduce to the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe:

"The museums are full of high-rise buildings, which contain the works of all the famous painters of the Netherlands, and can be viewed by visitors from all over the world; In addition, there is a temple of classical music in the city, the National Concert Hall. If you have the opportunity to see a performance at the National Concert Hall, it will be a natural treat......"

"Alright, Xiao Luo, it's completely dark now! You just introduced those spots, you don't want to visit until tomorrow, right? Now that it's getting dark, should we first visit the red-light district you mentioned, what is the name of the tile? ”

Just as the tour guide Xiao Luo explained the value of Amsterdam to everyone, Yumedu couldn't help but interrupt her introduction and put forward the long-awaited wish in her heart.

The tour guide Xiao Luo paused in astonishment, and did not immediately answer Mengdu's request.

However, she seemed to be able to understand Mengdu's mood at the moment, so she didn't show any anger.

"That's it, I think, we can walk in the direction of the red light district while continuing to listen to Xiao Luo's introduction."

Probably in order to ease the atmosphere, Mr. Liu, a big man from Shandong, put forward his own suggestions.

"Okay, let's do it. Please come with me. ”

The tour guide Xiao Luo smiled and nodded, and agreed with the suggestion of Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong.

While nodding to Mr. Liu, Xiao Luo also deliberately nodded to Mengdu.

The guide then led the group members to De Wallen, home to Amsterdam's Red Light District.

The tour guide Xiao Luo introduced to everyone as he walked:

"Amsterdam is the second largest port city in the Netherlands. It is home to the world's largest diamond processing center. Moreover, all the diamond processing factories and processing workshops here are open to the public.

They welcome visitors to purchase authentic diamonds that have just been produced during their visit;

In addition, Heineken beer produced in Amsterdam is also a world-famous product;

Another important export commodity for the Netherlands is flowers!

Located southwest of Amsterdam, the Asmael Flower Market is the largest flower market in the world. The flowers there are sold directly to more than 100 countries around the world.

If you are interested in visiting the Van Gogh Museum, you will find the most common beautiful scenery in Van Gogh's paintings, such as old windmills, tulips everywhere, magical wooden shoes, and cows leisurely in the Netherlands. ”

As he spoke, the Golden Autumn Regiment had already crossed an old-fashioned iron bridge over an ancient canal.

On the opposite side of the bridge, there is a street five or six meters wide.

This street is bordered by the river on the left and old-style houses on the right.

When the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment arrived, they found more than 20 men and women in ragged clothes who looked like beggars under the walls of the old houses.

The group of men and women sat or lay on the corner of the wall, some giving themselves injections, others smoking freshly rolled paper cigarettes.

Whether it is a person who injects himself or a person who smokes a paper cigarette, they are all skinny, with black faces, and their appearance is very scary.

"Friends, please pay attention! The people leaning against the wall, smoking paper cigarettes, smoking marijuana, and injecting morphine. They are all drug addicts on the streets.

Please do not go near them.

But don't be nervous. We just walked past them generously and as if we didn't see anything, and there would be no problem. ”

The tour guide Xiao Luo quietly told the members of the tour group.

According to the warning of the tour guide Xiao Luo, the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment followed closely behind Xiao Luo and walked quickly and tremblingly from the side of the group of drug addicts.

No one dared to make a sound, let alone stop their hurried footsteps.
