The tulip is the symbol of the Netherlands

When you think of the Netherlands, you naturally think of tulips. The tulips, which originated in Turkey, are famous for their association with the Netherlands because the climate, soil and other natural conditions in the Netherlands are particularly suitable for the growth of tulips, making the flowers particularly bright and fresh. In addition, the Dutch are also keen to compare themselves to the noble tulip, and over time, the tulip has become the symbol of the Dutch nation.

Today, the Netherlands is the world's largest producer of tulips and bulbs, with nearly 20,000 hectares of farmland planted with all kinds of bulbs, and of course, more than half of them are planted with tulips. Every spring and summer, the Port of Rotterdam becomes busy with flowers, and ships of all sizes travel through it, bringing tulips from Holland, the messenger of nature, to the rest of the world.

The "Land of the Tulips" has a reputation that lives up to its name. You can find tulip-related souvenirs in the duty-free store at Amsterdam's Schipol Airport, and if you're interested, you can buy a packet of tulip seeds to plant yourself. However, the best flower seeds are not here, but in a town called Keukenhorf (Keukenhorf). The Netherlands is known as the "Garden of Europe", and Keukenhorf is considered the most beautiful corner of this garden. There is a collection of almost all varieties of tulips, in the spring of each year when the tulips are in full bloom, will attract millions of tourists to go to see.
