Dragon Fort is located on a hill in the small town of Koenigswinter near Bonn. The hillside is a bit sloping. If you want to save time or are not confident in your physical strength, you can pay a small train or carriage at the foot of the mountain. If you choose to walk, you will pass an amphibian museum. If you are interested, you can go in and take a look. Another big surprise of walking is the panoramic view of the town under the mountain, which is unique. The Dragon Fort has two floors. After entering the door, the first is an environmental protection exhibition hall, which mainly shows the process of protecting the environment and birds. It is said that there was a wealthy businessman who lived in Longbao. From the bearskin carpets on the ground, the large murals on the walls, and the glaze patterns on the glass, the luxury of Longbao is displayed.

The Minster of St. Martin's was built between 1140–1250. It blends Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles and is one of the most important masterpieces of medieval church architecture. In the history of the Holy Roman Empire, during the Great Interregnum (1254–1273) between the end of the Staufer dynasty and the accession of Rudolf I of the Habsburg dynasty, the anti-kings Karl VI (Karl der VI.) and Friedrich (Friedrich der Schöne) were crowned in the Minster of St. Martin's. Over the centuries, the Minster of St. Martin's has been renovated and expanded time and again by its successive custodians. It was bombed by Allied forces during World War II and later restored. Inside the church, there is a bronze statue of Helena (daughter of Zeus in Greek mythology) and two 18th-century marble altars, surrounded by Romantic-style Baroque carvings and murals.

4.7/5
206 reviews

The Chocolate Museum is a very worthwhile museum in Cologne, filled with the aroma of chocolate. Here you can see the whole process of making various chocolate beans into chocolate. There is real chocolate being processed in each machine, which is a real slander. In addition to visiting, the museum also offers tastings. On the huge turntable is a golden chocolate fruit tree with chocolate flowing under the tree. The staff will hold waffles dipped in fresh chocolate sauce and distribute them to the foodies around.

Rheinauhafen District

4.5/5
45 reviews

Rheinauhafen District is a waterfront neighborhood transformed from an old freight port. The riverside promenade is lined with modern buildings, interspersed with cafes, galleries, and art spaces. The remnants of the port era and the newly built glass facades complement each other, showcasing a modern urban style. The district's core landmark consists of three high-rise buildings known as the "Crane Houses," standing approx. 60m tall, with an inverted L-shape that echoes the area's history as a freight terminal. Historical remnants, such as the Bayenturm tower dating back to the Middle Ages, are also preserved along the route. Looking north along the river, the silhouettes of the cathedral and the iron bridge are clearly visible, with classical spires and modern architecture framed together. At dusk, the sunset reflects on the river surface, and strolling along the path offers a panoramic view of the city on both banks, forming a waterfront view that blends industrial memories with a stylish atmosphere.

The castle has a beautiful exterior and nice interior decoration. The corridor on the first floor is painted, and the roofs and furniture in the bedroom and living room are all made of solid wood. The bearskin carpet on the ground, the large murals on the wall, and the glazed patterns on the glass all show the luxury of Dragon Castle.

The Cologne Cathedral is a jaw-dropping masterpiece of Gothic architecture. The moment you step out of the central train station, its colossal twin spires tower over you-the sheer scale of it is completely overwhelming and beautiful.Inside, the experience is just as incredible. The massive vaulted ceilings, the stunning, intricate stained-glass windows, and the historic Shrine of the Three Kings are unforgettable. For an extra adventure, you can climb the hundreds of steps up the South Tower for a spectacular panoramic view of Cologne and the Rhine River. It is an absolute must-visit landmark that easily deserves a perfect rating!

Cherry Blossom is a really great little city. The scenery is quite standard. It is a city with an industrial feel. The streets are neat and clean, the buildings are relatively modern, and the infrastructure is very important. I recommend staying here for a few nights. The people are simple and honest.
