Glasgow, with a population of 580,000, is the largest city in Scotland and the third largest city in the UK.

Located at the mouth of the River Clyde in western Central Scotland.

Administratively, Glasgow falls under the jurisdiction of the City of Glasgow and is one of Scotland's 32 first-level administrative areas (called unified management areas). It has been the ruling domain of the British Labor Party for many years.

It has produced strong leaders like former Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson and comedians like Billy Connolly.

This city has a steely exterior, but its heart is very gentle.

This is Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, even larger than the capital Edinburgh.

In its industrial heyday, the banks of the River Clyde were home to world-class shipyards, but as heavy industry declined, the city has spent the past 30 years struggling to reinvent itself.

Scott Taylor, chief executive of Glasgow City Marketing Agency, said Glasgow had now become a poster child for “how to restructure a city’s economy”.

Today, as well as having more than 32,000 people working in the tourism industry, Glasgow is also a center for low carbon technology.

SSE, the UK's largest renewable power generation company, has set up its European Green Energy Headquarters here, and Iberdrola/Scottish Power has also set up a global base here to specialize in developing offshore wind power facilities.

Life sciences and engineering technology also account for a significant proportion of Glasgow's economy, with the former attracting companies such as Life Technologies Corp, BioOutsource and SB Drug Discovery, and the latter attracting companies such as BAE Systems and Thales Optronics.

Taylor said that Glasgow has become a popular choice for European conference organizers, hosting 3,323 international and domestic conferences in the past 10 years, generating 1.2 billion pounds for the local economy.

The Scottish Exhibition and Convention Center is an important local exhibition venue, with the armadillo-shaped Clyde Theater and five major exhibition halls.

In addition, the university's new modern Technology and Innovation Center in Strathcolay is also an important local venue.

In the "2014 Cost of Living Survey" released by Mercer Consulting, Glasgow became one of the least expensive cities in the world to visit.

Locals are also proud to be praised as "the friendliest city in the world" by Conde Nast Traveler magazine and publisher Rough Guides.

Cultural Know-how In a city that values ??outspokenness, open-mindedness is welcome.

Steven Mail is a digital and social media investor based in Jacksonville, Florida, who regularly visits Glasgow as he travels around the world.

"In Glasgow it's not about the occasion, it's about the ability to connect with people and make connections," Meyer said. "It could be over a drink, it could be over lunch or dinner. It's about the ability to mingle with people.

Scottish dry humor is also part of interpersonal communication. Humor and eating are two main ways to build relationships. "When you have a meeting, be prepared for everyone to express their ideas.

“There’s less hierarchy here and less pretentiousness,” Meyer said. “In some places I might wear an expensive watch to a meeting, but in Glasgow it’s not necessary. People don’t try to give others

Impressed, they will just try to engage with each other and find solutions or ways to do business together." Airport As Scotland's main long-haul airport, Glasgow International Airport is located 8 miles (13 kilometers) west of the city and has been open for about 110 years.

It flies to all over the world, including destinations in Canada, the United States and the Middle East. It has recently launched a direct flight to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. After June this year, it will also open a direct flight to Munich and

Direct flights from Prague.

Coming out of the main terminal, you can see taxis and airport buses, which operate 24 hours a day.

It takes around 20 minutes to reach the city center with a Glasgow Airport Taxis vehicle and costs around ￡23 ($35).

The price of the airport bus is relatively cheap.

The Service 500 airport bus runs at intervals as short as 10 minutes and takes about 25 minutes to get to the city center, with a fare of ￡6.50 ($10).
