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 United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) is located in the historic Palais des Nations, the second largest UN centre after the UN Headquarters in New York. The facility is an outstanding testimony to twentieth-century architecture and is situated in the beautiful Parc Ariane in Geneva, Switzerland. The Palais des Nations is one of the largest diplomatic conference centres in the world. Around 8,000 meetings are organised every year. Most of the meeting rooms date back to the original building of the Palais des Nations in the 1930s.”

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:“Due to strict environmental management measures implemented in the 1960s, Lake Annecy is known as the clearest lake in Europe. Lake Annecy has become a popular tourist destination for its famous water recreation activities. Lake Annecy was formed 18,000 years ago during the melting of the Alps glaciers. Many small rivers originating from the surrounding mountains flow into Lake Annecy for more than ten kilometers, providing sufficient water for Lake Annecy. Strolling and cycling along the shore of Lake Annecy, or swimming and boating in the lake, overlooking the rolling Alps in the distance, is undoubtedly a great pleasure in life. French Enlightenment thinker Rousseau once spent the "best 12 years" of his life in Annecy.”

老二连:“The Island Palace is located on a small island in the river in the center of the old town of Annecy. It is a small triangular castle built in 1132. The Island Palace was originally the residence of the lord of Annecy, and soon became the administrative headquarters of the Count of Geneva. Later, it became a court, mint and prison. Now there is a small museum here to showcase the local history.”

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:“Twelve centuries of ceramic art, the art of fire at the Swiss Museum of Ceramics and Glass. At first glance, the Ariane Museum is a magnificent architectural wonder. The vaulted ceilings are filled with stars, and the hall’s bold colonnades surprise visitors with the luxurious palace built in the late 19th century. The Ariane Museum, which houses 27,000 pieces from Switzerland, Europe, the Middle East and the Far East, witnesss 12 centuries of ceramic art from the Middle Ages to the modern era and is one of Europe’s greatest museums of art on fire.”
