The lake view of Lugano is so breathtaking! Can’t wait to go back again!
The 49 square kilometers of Lake Lugano is narrow and S-shaped. The middle part of the lake is in Switzerland and most of the ends are in Italy. The lake surrounds the old city of Lugano, like a glass jade; the large fountain of Lugano is nestled on the shore of the lake, and the 60-meter-high water column is draped in rainbows and straight into the clouds. The wide lake is sparkling, the big boats and boats break the waves to swim, the big goose and ducks are happy and play...

Lugano, a charming town in southern Switzerland, is known as the "fairy tale city". Lugano, derived from the Italian word "Lucus", which means "dense forest", is the capital of Ticino, the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland.
The thousand-year-old town, built in the 6th century AD, speaks Italian, eats pasta, and has a full Italian atmosphere; the houses facing the lake and the mountains are lined up in lake blue, pink, tender green, and cream yellow... like a series of brightly colored Mediterranean style paintings; walking through the streets and alleys, stopping by the arcades, the elderly are leisurely reading newspapers, and the children are happily playing, and the soul is quiet and healed here.
The old town is very charming. Walking in the old streets is like going back to the old days. Walking by the lake and basking in the sun, and then going to the LV store to buy a bag, there are few people and the goods are in good condition. It is still very pleasant. I hope time can stop.
