Flanders, an ancient Belgian city, is the capital of brabant Province and a famous university town. Its relationship with Leuven is just like that between London and Oxford and Cambridge. Every year 10, the city is full of youthful faces. They walked into the ancient buildings, and the scene here was very spectacular. Leuven-a wise beer city, Leuven is famous for being the headquarters of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest beer company. Drink beer there and meet students there. Leuven is located in the Dutch-speaking area, 20 kilometers away from the capital Brussels, with a total population of about 90,000. Leuven is world-famous because it is the seat of Leuven University, the oldest Catholic university in the world (founded in 1425). This city is full of vitality all year round, because from July to 10 every year, a large number of young people from all over the world come here to study. People of all colors and languages can be seen everywhere in the street, which makes the city full of vitality and charm. It is true to call Leuven a university town. The population of this city is about 90,000, but the number of perennial students exceeds 22,000. According to the university rankings, the University of Leuven ranks first in Belgium and sixth in Europe. Because Belgium has three official languages: Dutch, French and German, the earliest University of Leuven taught in Dutch and French. Later, due to the political and economic rise of Flanders in the north, universities in Flanders, where Dutch is the official language, require teaching in a single Dutch language. Therefore, the University of Leuven was divided into two parts, the French part moved out to establish the University of New Leuven in France, while the Dutch part remained as the University of Old Leuven. There are many ancient buildings in Leuven, the most striking of which is the city hall building. This Gothic building, built in15th century, is the most magnificent city hall in the world. There are complex and exquisite figure carvings on the four walls of the building, which are amazing from a distance and from a close look. There is an "Oude markt" not far from the city hall building. Almost all bars and restaurants are along the square. In summer, the square is full of outdoor cafes. No matter day or night, it is full of lights, laughter and laughter. The city of Leuven fully embodies the nostalgia of Europeans, and the ancient medieval buildings are well preserved in the old city. Buildings from the 78th century can be seen everywhere in the city, and some buildings earlier than this era have also been well restored. I saw a bronze medal on a building, which read: "This building was built in 13 17 and was first used by the Chamber of Commerce. 1434 belongs to the university of Leuven and has been the headquarters of the university ever since. What is the importance of business and teaching? An important commercial building is used for education. As early as 600 years ago, Europeans had such a concept of value choice, which laid the foundation for the future development of educational technology. If you can't travel around China without visiting temples, you can't travel to European countries without visiting churches. In fact, the church is a scenic spot integrating religion, art (including sculpture, painting and music), architecture and history. Seeing the church can let us know a very important part of the history and culture of this country and city. I'm not interested in St Peter's Cathedral in Leuven. Compared with Notre Dame de Antwerp and Maclennan Cathedral in Bell, it's a drop in the bucket. There is also a small church called St. Anthony. Car traffic from Brussels airport to Leuven: the parking fee at the airport is about 2. 10 euros per hour. By train: It takes about 20 minutes from Brussels airport to the city center by train.

The one-way fare is 3.80 euros (first class) or 2.50 euros (second class). Then from Brussels North Station to Leuven, you need to buy another ticket (about 3.90 euros for a second-class one-way) and change trains (depending on the train time). There are the same trains every hour. The ticket for Leuven purchased directly from the airport is 4.60 euros.

It is about 30 euros to the center of Brussels and 60 euros to Leuven (the specific price depends on the driving distance and road conditions). To understand Leuven in history, we must start with the University of Leuven, because Leuven is only a small town, and it consists of only one university. If you want to know about Leuven University, you should also start from the small town of Leuven, because Leuven is also a university, so big that it occupies the whole city. Walking into Leuven, churches, libraries and statues along the road are not only the scenery of the city, but also the symbol of the university. " Leuven has become a famous tourist destination for two reasons, one is the University of Leuven, and the other is the beer here. In Leuven, students are the masters here. This is a place where rigorous study style and leisurely life coexist, and it is a stage where high-tech trends and ancient philosophy resonate. "said Pedersen, manager of China District of Belgian Flanders Tourism Bureau. When talking about the history of the University of Leuven, Pei Decen showed great interest. The University of Leuven was founded in 1425. Today, the University of Leuven is the top institution of higher learning in Europe, and it is famous for two reasons: it is the oldest Catholic school and the oldest low-lying national university. According to the data of Belgian Flemish Tourism Bureau, Leuven University has attracted numerous scholars, and the humanitarian founder Era *** us of16th century has devoted himself to research here, and Charles V's teacher is also a professor here. It only takes half an hour to ride through Leuven town, but it can attract many students. This shows that Leuven's urban charm and academic attainments have great influence on the whole world. "Cultural Beer Leuven is a city famous for its beer. If you have a chance, you must try Flemish food, which is the specialty of Leuven mothers. These delicious practices are rarely seen in books. They are handed down from mother to daughter in a big family, from generation to generation. Taste the freshest beer. Which is the second largest brewery in the world? In the corridor of Lu Wenyingbo factory, there will be a big truck transporting beer every 6 minutes, and it will be uninterrupted for 24 hours. Located at one end of Leuven, even in the outdoor air of the factory, there is a very strong beer smell. The workers in the factory said that not only that, his family lives across the street, but he can still smell hops as long as the wind is right. Fortunately, just smelling beer won't make him drunk. This is the most famous brewery in Belgium. True beer lovers will not miss the tasting room of InBev Brewery.
