Along the seaside are luxury hotels and restaurants, Hague cafes, gift shops and amusement parks, allowing tourists to fully enjoy a comfortable leisure life.

Occasionally, you can see a mighty female mounted policeman riding a tall horse, adding a lot of color to the leisurely atmosphere. Another face of this seaside resort is its music and sports activities, breath-taking fireworks (fireworks displays are held every August weekend), splendid live music and a vibrant nightlife.Scheveningen · 12.5km from Delft

The wishing tree at the entrance of the Peace Palace has a Japanese style and is very close to the concept of the International Court of Justice. It is a relatively political attraction. Perhaps only people of a certain age like me will come here.

The sky was clear and blue, with white clouds floating in the sky. The water was calm, reflecting the water like a mirror. The fountain in the distance was dancing silently, and everything was so quiet.

Rotterdam's arcade market, Markthal, is known as the most fashionable market in the world. It was officially opened in October 2014. Soon after its opening, it became the most famous tourist attraction in Rotterdam, and many tourists come here for pilgrimage. There are also famous attractions such as the Cube House, the Pencil House, and the Pipe House. The 40-meter-high arch design uses a large number of glass windows to let in natural light. You can feel the good lighting inside, and it is very comfortable to visit without feeling oppressive.

The Hague Square is located in the city center, not far from the Central Station, and it takes less than 10 minutes to walk there. The square is not big, but the Parliament Building and the Knight Building are nearby, so you can start from the square and then go to other attractions.

This windmill group is one of the two largest windmill groups in the Netherlands, but most tourists go to the windmill group near Amsterdam. This windmill group is relatively close to Rotterdam, and guests on Viking cruises are usually taken here for a visit. Viking cruises can dock very close to the attractions, so it is very labor-saving for tourists. Here you can not only take pictures outside the windmill, but also enter the windmill to see how it works.

During the few days in The Hague, I stayed by the beach and came to walk on the sea from time to time to watch the sunset. It was very beautiful to watch the sun set slowly. There were not many people at night in June, so it was especially suitable for couples to take a walk together.

Rotterdam built a high tower on the site of the Horticultural Expo. The top has a large space, a special viewing platform and a unique restaurant. This landmark building is also an important part of the local tour. There are many fun things around the tower. [Scenery] The scenery here is very good

Taking this bus to Keukenhof Park to see the flowers is extremely convenient; the boarding point was easily found by following the map. The park is so beautiful in spring!
