Chapter 404: Pulling out the mountain and covering the world
The neo-Renaissance rue Maximilian is one of the four royal avenues that begin at the "Max-Josef Square". Maximilian Street was built by King Maximilian II of Bavaria www.biquge.info and named in his honor. Maximilian Street is lined with English neo-Gothic palaces.
The western section is one of the main shopping streets with its fashion stores, luxury stores, jewellery stores, galleries and designer shops. The other is Cowfinger Street, located in front of Marion Square, a pedestrian street lined with shops and restaurants, and a variety of taverns in the alleys around the street, and the famous Karl Square is at the end of Cowfinger Street.
Also, the one in front of the palace is worth a visit. There are many popular brands, such as Zwilling and many local German brands. All three streets are surrounded by Marion Square and can be selected according to the purchase needs. 【Department Store】The department store is very famous in Germany, and the store is located opposite Marionplatz.
With a wide range of clothing, jewelry, household items and more, there is something for adults but also children. The mall has a food court and a wide range of food options to suit the tastes of customers from different parts of the world. There are tax refund points inside the mall, and guests can shop at shops with tax refund stickers.
After that, the tax refund will be carried out according to the specified process. Xueluo bought makeup here, although the brand is not as complete as the Rishang at Pudong Airport, but the mainstream brands can be bought, and the tax refund is upstairs in the mall, which is very convenient. As for how to get a tax refund, we will talk about it later. Seeing that the time is close to 11 o'clock in the morning, it is almost time for the carillon performance, and slowly stroll back to the direction.
It was deserted just now, and a lot of viewers have gathered. The "bell dance" on the bell tower is the fourth largest puppet dance in Europe and has a long reputation. Every day from November and December, and from March to October, at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m., 32 life-size puppets perform a historical play about the wedding of King William V in 1558.
At this time, many colorful figures in the tower pavilion are divided into two layers, lined up and out, singing and dancing to the rhythm of the music, vividly reproducing the scene of the wedding celebration of that year, lasting for 10 minutes. It attracts many tourists every morning, especially those who are new arrivals, and they do not want to miss it. Legend: In 1516, the Great Plague struck and thousands of people died in the city.
The rest fled one after another, and the whole city was ten rooms and nine empty, almost a dead city. Fifty-two years later, Duke William V, in order to recover and revive, held a big wedding celebration here, a parade to celebrate, and since then it has been prosperous. In order to commemorate this great celebration to drive away the "decay", puppet clocks were set up on the fifth and sixth floors of the bell tower of the city hall.
The first half tells the story of a knightly jousting tournament held in 1568 to celebrate the marriage of Duke William V to Lernate of Lorraine, France, while the second half depicts the pomp and circumstance of the dance. The puppeteers paused on the stage with the music of Ding Dong, or holding axes and swords, or riding horses, or carrying lanterns, or blowing foreign trumpets, divided into two layers.
Lined up in a row, with the rhythm of the music, gestures, singing and dancing, vividly reproducing the grand ceremony of the wedding celebration that year. The ceremonies last a total of 10 minutes. This performance installation is a masterpiece of art craftsmen. How many tourists look up to this fascinating performance every day and listen to the crisp and loud music bells.
Get a glimpse of the richness of ancient figures. Friendly reminder: When looking up at the performance, please pay close attention to your belongings, although it is a city, it is not cold and boring. There are interesting corners everywhere on the street, and there is always a reason to stop the flowers placed outdoors, and the pots are so cute that I don't know if they will be bought home by people who have a taste for life.
The Church of Our Lady was built in 1488 and established in 1821 - after the parish of Freising, Marion's Church has been one of the symbols of the episcopal church and the most important church. It was destroyed by bombing during World War II and rebuilt in 1953. The church is a post-Gothic brick building with two bell towers about 98 meters high.
The north side is slightly higher than the south side. In 1525, the Renaissance spread to Bavaria, and the spire was changed to a bronze Italian bell dome, and the interior of the church was rebuilt in the Renaissance style, but in 1858 it was changed back to the Gothic style. The church was built of red brick and was built in the 15th century, but the spire of the church was never completed.
It was not until 50 years later, in the 16th century, that the decision was made to complete the construction of the top of the tower. At that time, the era of Gothic architecture had been replaced by the era of the Renaissance style. Gothic churches were inevitably adorned with the fashionable "onion" domes, which were called "Romanesque" hats, which meant "exotic" or "Italian".
It was this style of domes that became a model for many churches in Bavaria that followed. Entering the church, you will feel the rich medieval atmosphere, with a variety of stately icons, sculptures and stained-glass windows. There is also the famous "Devil's Footprints" legend, where a black mark can be seen on the floor in front of the entrance.
It is said that if you step on it, you can't see the window at the edge of the church when you look up. The church's twin towers are 99 meters tall and majestic. The South Tower is open to visitors, and when you climb to the top, you can see the Alpine peaks to the south and the city on a clear day. Address: Arrival method: Metro: Line 36, station.
All light rail lines passing through the train station are also up to opening hours: the Frauenkirche is also a landmark, located in the heart of the city and with two onion-domed bell towers visible in the distance. Especially at night, the two onion heads are particularly flamboyant in the night. The Church of Our Lady opened the door that was not at all ornate, and it was indeed a different world.
Although churches are always the same, the interior of the Church of Our Lady is not as prominent as its appearance. But each church has its own different beauty, and you can only find the Church of Our Lady for lunch if you visit it in person. Located in the basement of the city hall, this exquisite building has always been loved by locals as well as tourists from all over the world.
It is one of the more classic restaurants. In this wonderful place, you can try crispy pork knuckle or fried sausages under the gothic vaults of the restaurant or in the cosy little wooden stalls, which are absolutely delicious, and the prices are moderate, and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing, but sometimes a little crowded.
I still highly recommend trying it because it tastes so good. There is an English menu with pictures, and the meat is marked above each main dish. Although they have long been accustomed to reading German menus with only 2 or 3 pages, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu actually met a restaurant with a Chinese menu and pictures at the end of the trip!
It also lists some of the dishes that Chinese people like more! Don't you want to be so intimate! Although the façade is very inconspicuous, but spiraling down the stairs, you will find that the interior of the restaurant is actually very huge, the layout is very atmospheric, and the decoration style of the restaurant is the same as most Bavarian restaurants, with dark tones and nostalgic retro.
Even the orders are from elderly grandfathers and uncles, and the environment here is as elegant and thoughtful. The restaurant is said to be able to accommodate more than 1,000 people at the same time, so the interior is divided into different areas, each with its own style. Since he had to drive away after a while, Dai Xiansen didn't have a chance to taste the beer here.
Just let him keep the best impression. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu both ordered orange juice, still bottled, and made do with the German kink bread, and the restaurant served the waiter's recommended sausage combination for free, and the platter included Nuremberg grilled sausage, Bavarian white sausage, smoked beer sausage, grilled bacon, and mashed potatoes.
It's great to order a plate of sausages that you can eat from multiple categories at the same time and taste all of this German specialty. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu are a bit supportive to eat, and it is especially recommended to order one if there are many people. Although Xueluo doesn't usually like such extensive meat products, the sausages here are really delicious, full of flavor and great meat quality!
The roasted pork knuckle is crispy from the outside and tender on the inside, and the portion is super large, so it has become an embellishment and has not moved at all. If you want two people, you can order one serving, and you can save your stomach to taste some other specialties. Whether it is the meat or the soup at the bottom, it is fragrant and thick, and the feeling of eating large pieces of meat is also very pleasant. I thought that the restaurant was recommended by Michelin, and the final price would be very expensive, but I didn't expect it to be about 50 euros.
This kind of quality is not something that can be achieved in the magic capital of 3,400. This proves once again that the cellar restaurant at the town hall is synonymous with quality and value for money. The door of the restaurant faces the courtyard behind it, and it feels like I took the subway back to my accommodation after lunch. The boss and the housekeeper were not there, and I didn't want to say goodbye without saying goodbye.
Only one note can be left to express the most basic thanks. did not buy big and buy, but restrained the Ole who was ready to go to Ingolstadt to "play" well. Xueluo in the city and Liu Jingshu's points of interest have all been gone, and several other places that everyone loves to go to, such as Allianz Arena and BMW World, have also fallen out of course because Dai Xiansen doesn't love Bayern.
Fortunately, Xueluo doesn't like it even more haha! It is either too far away from the English Garden or too big, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu are only left for two and a half days, and the time and physical strength are not enough, so they give up. When I was leaving, the St. Ludwig Church in front of me was like an old friend, whenever Xueluo and Liu Jingshu went out early and returned late, it stood at the corner of the street to welcome Xueluo and Liu Jingshu when they went out of the city through the triumphal arch.
Passing by the Arc de Triomphe, it is not as small as imagined, and it is still quite majestic and imposing with the blue sky and white clouds. But it still can't be compared with the genuine goods in Paris. The Arc de Triomphe was built in the middle of the 19th century, but it is now a symbol, a symbol of peace. This triumphal arch was designed by King Ludwig I of Bavaria on the orders of Friedrich Van Gartner.
It was built between 1843 and 1852. The Arc de Triomphe was built to commemorate the bravery of the Bavarian army and its victory in Napoleon's War of Liberation. The Arc de Triomphe consists of three arches, the largest one in the middle and the smaller two on either side. The arch is decorated with a statue of flying wings.
To symbolize victory, there are also reliefs on the gate that reflect war scenes. At the top of the Arc de Triomphe, there is a sculpture of a military man driving a chariot pulled by a lion. The sculpture was designed by the German sculptor Martin Van Wagner. Like many other buildings in the city.
The Arc de Triomphe did not escape the flames of war. During the Second Time War, the Arc de Triomphe was destroyed in battle. It was not until the 50s of the 20th century that the Arc de Triomphe was restored and partially rebuilt. Recently, the sculpture of the Arc de Triomphe has also been cleaned and restored. 【Written before leaving】A metropolis full of royal magnanimity, it is the only big city on this trip.
I especially like to dig into the old atmosphere of the modern city, and when I am about to leave, I find that the most old street scenes in my mobile phone are also old. Rigorous and arrogant like Germany, wild and enthusiastic like Bavaria, there are different sparks in this place. Tradition and modernity are blended and fermented here, and retro and innovation are inherited here.
Swim slowly, experience the illusion of time and space exchange with your feet, and after the Oktoberfest, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu can still enjoy a unique visual carnival. Germany [Ingolstadt] Distance: 78Route: 9 Time: 1 to Ingolstadt The whole journey is high-speed, very easy to walk. If you have a shopping need and can't go to Metzingen on your itinerary.
You can consider going to Ingolstadt, and if you stay, you can go back and forth on the same day. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's plan for the day was to go to the accommodation, and to Ingolstadt just on the way, although not as complete as the Metzingen brand, but it is better than nothing, and the discount of several brands is still good.
13 Ingolstadt, passing by, there is a very large public parking lot at the entrance of the shopping fun village [Ingolstadt Village], there are not many brands here in the free shopping village, and the general price is 7-8% off the market price, and there are special prices. Things here are tax-rebatable, and the tax refund threshold in Germany is 25 euros.
That is, if you exceed 25 euros in a single store, you can get a tax refund. This is relatively low. 【】At the tourist service center, you will show that you are from the dragon country with your passport, and you will get another discount card, and some stores will be discounted by 9%. What is the purchasing power of the people in the snowfall country outside the country? Just tremble! Who remembers that this is the nest of Audi?
Patronized and bought. There are no first-line brands in the village, basically second- and third-tier, and there are many sports and outdoor brands. The full list of brands can be checked on the official website, and then according to the decision whether to go to the shopping village, the shopping village probably looks the same as the one in the world, which looks exactly the same as the Yioulai that Xueluo went to last year.
But it's obviously a lot more deserted, and there's not much shopping atmosphere. The supporting facilities are very good, toilets, restaurants, cafes, tourist service centers,. The whole nine yards. Shopping VillageShopping VillageShopping Village, the discount is very strong, but there is no Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's favorite style, if you like it, you can go to see the full reduction activity, the price is cheaper than the domestic counter 13.
Some styles are even 12, the more you buy, the more cost-effective Dai Xiansen bought a Colombian jacket, which seems to be less than 1000 yuan?
