[Fun] The weather was overcast and rainy that day, so bringing a brightly colored umbrella and jacket for photos was a real treat!”
Nachtisch:“Geneva's Ariane Park, a quiet setting surrounded by the United Nations building, is a place of meditation and peace. The park is centered on the beautiful Ariane Museum dedicated to ceramics and glass art. There are three landmarks in the park: the statue of Gandhi, symbolizing nonviolence; The Marcel Juno monument honors atomic bomb victims and humanitarian devotees; and the gift from Tokyo, Shinagawa Chung, symbolizes friendship and reconciliation among peoples.”
老二连:“To get to Annecy, you must first go to the old town. The Hugh River, which comes from the western mountains, flows through the entire old town and flows into Lake Annecy in front of the town hall. The main streets of the old town are on both sides of the Hugh River. Many buildings were built from the 12th to the 17th century and are well preserved. The ancient cobblestone roads still look like they did in the Middle Ages, and most of them have been opened up as pedestrian streets.
The small streets along the river are full of open-air cafes, souvenir shops, hotels and restaurants, and the arcades of the buildings and the bridges across the river are full of flowers. The conical palace "Isle Palace" on the central island of the Hugh River and the Annecy Castle on the high slope at the end of the main street of the old town, Saint Clair Street, are both iconic ancient buildings in Annecy. They, together with the small streets, flowing water, flowers and tourists in the city, constitute a strong tourist landscape of the old town of Annecy.”
Nachtisch:“The Geneva Flower Bell is carefully maintained by mosaic planting experts from the Geneva City Greenlands Department and is composed of more than 3,000 plants. It is also equipped with a watering system to ensure that the flowers remain bright. The current pointer is elegantly designed, similar to the original pointer, made by Patek Philippe and generously donated to the city of Geneva. The second hand is2.5 meters long, and is undoubtedly the world's largest second hand. The clock is equipped with an electronic satellite time setting function. The clock will adjust the pattern according to the season or major event, which coincides with the Women's World Cup in Geneva, and the current flower clock shape is lifelike.”
Nachtisch:“The English Garden is located by the lake, facing the big fountain, with famous flower clocks, huge fountains and century-old trees, making it one of the most spectacular green spaces in the UK.”
