Why is Holland called the Flower Country? Why is Holland called the country of windmills?
On this trip to Holland, my wife and I came here and prepared places we didn't want to go, but when we arrived at the destination, we found that the distance and time arrangement were still inappropriate. The significance of traveling is not only to see the beautiful scenery, but also to make us forget the busyness of life, so we didn't go to some places in the end, but we don't regret it. At least we have encountered many unexpected beauty.

It was already evening when I arrived in Holland, so I just ate a little, washed and slept, and prepared to recharge my batteries before having a good time.

At about 7: 40, after getting up, I packed my bags in my room. Teacher Liu went to the bathroom to wash first. Soon, the landlord's family also got up. The landlord's daughter was running around in the living room, and the door was open. I saw her say hello, maybe some strangers, so I giggled and continued to play with myself.

I remember that when the landlord greeted us last night, he pointed to the photo of his daughter in the living room and said that he especially liked model airplanes. Now they are interested in cultivating their daughter's interest in this aspect! I hope she will be an engineer when she grows up. And proudly showed us the airplane toy model assembled by her daughter.

The little girl's father is Italian and her mother is Dutch. Their daughter is as lovely as a doll! As I continued to pack my things, I made up a picture of a blonde female engineer at work in my mind.

At about 8: 20, we washed and packed our things, said goodbye to the landlord and left.

1. See tulips in Keukenhof Garden-The Hague continued to use yesterday's GVB daily ticket at sunset, and we took the subway to Zuid Station. I bought Schiphol airport at Zuid station for 3.8 euros.

Airport train ticket, because I have to wait for more than ten minutes, I bought two loaves of bread for breakfast at the station.

A loaf of bread is 3.75 euros.

Soon we arrived at Schiphol airport. After consulting the staff, I bought a joint flight ticket of 24 euros, including from the airport to Keukenhof.

Bus tickets, as well as tickets to the garden and bus tickets from the garden to Leiden after the end, because Leiden is the only place to go to The Hague that day.

First stop: watching tulips in Keukenhof Garden.

The bus runs every 15 minutes. When we boarded it, it was crowded with people, but we had to stand in order to seize the time. About 35 minutes after getting on the bus, we arrived at Keukenhof Garden. I checked online before that I can rent bicycles. When we were still wondering whether to rent two bicycles or a double car, I asked the staff inside to know that renting bicycles can only be outside the park, not inside! Depressed, it is really a white struggle.

At the gate of the garden, there are quite a few people who come to enjoy the flowers!

Tulip is the national flower of the Netherlands, and Keukenhof, the largest bulb garden in the world, is famous for tulips.

From about 10: 30 in the morning to noon 1: 30, we have been wandering in the ocean of tulips and feeling the visual feast brought by this tulip kingdom!

The tulips in Holland show me the concentration of this country.

I think concentration is one of the reasons why Dutch tulips are famous all over the world.

Around noon 1, after lunch, continue.

The windmill in the distance is an ocean of tulips. There are all kinds of tulips here, and their meanings are different. Many people come to enjoy the flowers, and some come for an outing. When you walk out of the garden, you will see many people carrying different tulips, which represent different meanings.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we ended the day's trip! Get on the bus and leave for Leiden, and then leave for the next stop, The Hague.

After coming out of Keukenhof Garden, we went to Leiden by car and arrived at Leiden Railway Station in about 20 minutes. Spend 4.5 euros to buy a train ticket from Leiden to The Hague (den

Hager)

Go down after 4 o'clock and arrive at The Hague Railway Station. After consulting at the ticket information window, we bought a one-day ticket for the tram in The Hague. With the help of enthusiastic citizens, I found a hotel booked in advance, put down my things and set off for Ninggen Beach in Scheffer.

Trams shuttle through the city, and the whole city gives me a fresh and orderly feeling. Because of the seaside, the wind is a bit strong and the air is very refreshing.

The tram arrived at Ninggen Station in Scheffer, and we didn't know how to get there after getting off. I casually asked the foreigner next to me. He smiled and pointed and said, in that direction, you should follow the bird!

How humorous! Sure enough, we saw several seagulls flying around, and along their direction, we saw golden beaches and blue seas in the distance.

I'm 30 years old and so big. I'm very excited when I see the sea for the first time! When I was a child, I always liked to put the little conch in my ear and listen to the wonderful ups and downs melody. Adults say it's the sound of the sea. Since then, I have had an infinite yearning for the sea in my heart, but I didn't feel it personally.

I ran across the beach to the seaside. In The Hague in April, there are some cold, delicate and soft beaches, and only sporadic people are strolling. I think most of them are tourists too. The waves are very big, accompanied by the cool sea breeze, and the nasal cavity is full of faint sea smell. White waves rolled in layers, and the sound of a strong wind was heard in my ear.

The white waves rolled layer by layer.

The beach in this season is quiet and lonely! I'm afraid the busiest seagull is flying around the sea like the patron saint of the sea!

On the beach, facing the sea, you can see a luxurious building, which is the famous SteigenbergerKurhaus.

Hotel, a five-star hotel, is a landmark building near Sifanningen Beach, which is also called "Li Hongzhang Hotel" in China.

1From July 5 to 8, 896, Li Hongzhang stayed in It' Hotel during his visit to Europe and America, and left his mark on the message board here. Li Hongzhang was also the first China diplomat to visit the Netherlands!

I saw the sea for the first time in The Hague! Although it was a little cold, the sea breeze was strong, I didn't stay at the seaside for a long time, and the original plan to watch the sunset was cancelled because it was getting gloomy, but the sea in The Hague left a good impression on me. There were other attractions to visit during the trip, but I finally decided to stay in The Hague. The scenery in The Hague is very good, so it will be too regrettable to say goodbye in a hurry.

Second, the itinerary: Peace Palace-Lilliput-Capitol, wake up naturally at 8 o'clock in the morning. Wash, eat, drink and pack in the hotel restaurant, and check out after 9 o'clock. I decided to arrive in Rotterdam before 4: 30 pm, and then take a bus from Rotterdam to Trier.

When I got on the bus, I found that the one-day ticket for the tram I bought yesterday afternoon was invalid. I was a little confused at the time. It was obviously bought after 4 pm. Isn't it 24 hours? So, we want to wait for the check.

Go out and make sure. Soon, I arrived at the Peace Palace. To be sure, this card was really invalid! But the same-day ticket bought in Amsterdam is obviously valid for 24 hours, right?

No way, I got off and asked an elder sister. She told us that the validity period should be 24 hours. As for why it can't be used, she doesn't know! This problem, we can only put aside first!

The Peace Palace in The Hague (in Dutch: Vredespaleis) was founded on August 28th of 19 13, and is considered as the capital of international law. The International Court of Justice (the main judicial organ of the United Nations), the Permanent Court of Arbitration and The Hague Academy of International Law are all located here. 2065438+was awarded the title of European cultural heritage on April 8, 2004.

We may not be familiar with this building. But if you talk about the South China Sea arbitration last year, you will be familiar with it. 2065438+July 2006 12, China was completely defeated by The Hague International Arbitration Court.

On July 15, China tourists and local Chinese and overseas Chinese spontaneously rushed to the Peace Palace to protest against the South China Sea arbitration farce unilaterally filed by the Philippines. The songs of China march of the volunteers and Singing the Motherland echoed in the square in front of the Peace Palace.

After entering from the side door, a wishing tree came into view. It hangs the desire of tourists from all over the world to come here, and we can still see our compatriots' attitude towards the South China Sea incident today!

After visiting the Peace Palace, we rushed to the next stop. As the ticket we bought yesterday is invalid, Lilliput is not far on the map. After asking passers-by, we decided to walk to Madurodam, a theme park with the theme of models.

About ten minutes later, we came to this miniature "city" with an area of only 1.8 square kilometers. In the pool in front of the square, the fish smelled our voice and swam quickly, with their mouths open, obviously hungry, but there was nothing we could do.

Madurodam was opened on July 2nd, 1952. It was built by the Madura couple in memory of their son who died in World War II. The landscape of all parts of the Netherlands has been restored at the ratio of 25 1, including1more than 20 famous buildings and places of interest, which is a microcosm of the whole Dutch landscape.

At the ticket office inside, we saw that the ticket for Lilliput was 16.5 Euro, and the joint ticket with the aquarium was 22.5 Euro. Since neither Mr. Liu nor I have been to the aquarium, we decided to buy a joint ticket to have a look.

When buying tickets, the staff will ask the tourists which country they are from, and then they will give the information introduced by the corresponding country in words, as well as a visit card. Slide on the machine inside and you will see the explanation with Chinese subtitles. It is suggested that you must swipe your card to listen to the explanation, which is very interesting! Teacher Liu and I listened to the football commentary three times, but it was not enough, hehe!

Register on the computer at the door, leave your name and email address, and you can also take a free 3D photo in the internal 3D studio, which is extremely efficient and will be received the next day.

It's already 1: 30 in the afternoon when I came out of lilliput. After asking passers-by, I realized that there was still a distance from the aquarium, and it would take half an hour to walk. I decided to buy another one-day ticket. I got on the tram, but I still didn't get it after a while. I have no choice but to ask the handsome guy next to me. Handsome guy said we can only use coins, but we searched all the coins on us, less than 8 euros. And a two-day ticket costs 13 Euros. Helpless, after the bus stopped, we asked the driver if there were not enough coins. What shall we do? The master waved his hand and said that we don't need to buy it. Let us get off directly.

After thanking us, we ran all the way to the aquarium. At the Aquarium, we saw that the ticket price was 16.6 Euro, which was quite cost-effective!

To tell the truth, this aquarium has let us down a bit. Of course, if you haven't been to the Aquarium, it's good to buy a joint ticket. After all, it only cost 6 euros more.

The aquarium, which was originally expected to take at least an hour, was finished in half an hour! At about 2: 30, we got on the tram and went to the Parliament Building, the last stop in The Hague. After getting on the bus, I bought two tickets with "validity 1 hour" with coins and went to Binnanhof.

The Parliament Building in The Hague was built in13rd century. This is a typical Dutch style brick building. Since its completion, it has been the residence of the Count of the Netherlands. 1585 became the seat of parliament and a symbolic symbol of the Dutch government.

After the end of the Capitol, there were more than 10 minutes before the end of the "ticket is valid in one hour". We got on the tram and arrived at the railway station in a few minutes, which was a full use of the ticket.

Spend 5.8 euros to buy a train ticket from The Hague to Rotterdam, and arrive in Rotterdam around 4: 00+05. The abandonment of Rotterdam is a small regret of this trip, and we can only wait until we have a chance to go again.

It's nearly 1 hour before the train leaves. After getting off the bus, buy some food in Chinatown outside the station, take photos outside the train station and then go back to the platform to wait for the bus!

In this way, we ended our three-day trip to Holland.

This trip to Holland still received a lot of goods. After all, coming to such a strange city, no one introduced himself completely. Here are some tips to share with you.

Travel tip: 1 and the tram day ticket in The Hague is invalid within 24 hours. If you buy it on the same day, it is only valid on the same day, and you can't use it the next day after staying overnight.

It is advisable to arrange the time within five days as far as possible. Aquarium suggests not to go.

It's convenient to get a ride here. I suggest trying not to take a taxi. After all, if you don't know the way, you will be unhappy if you take a detour.

The food here is still good. I ate it without taking pictures.

Talk to the old people in the park, and you will know more about the city.
