Prague is a beautiful place. Outside Prague Square, Prague Castle is also a place worth visiting. It is located in the hills of vltava river and has a history of 1, years. There are also the Old Palace and St. George's Church and St. Vita's Cathedral, which are all places worth visiting. Unforgettable hot chocolate
In the early morning, a ray of sunshine came through the linen curtains. Gently pull it away, the faint sunshine has spread all over the cold streets of Prague, dazzling, probably because it has just driven away the vast night, slightly tired, and can not let people feel its warmth.
In the quiet street, almost no one can be seen, only the empty trams clank by occasionally. The whole city is still waking up, and a little coolness comes to mind.
Early morning in Prague
While it's still early, I came to the table, took out the city map prepared by the hotel for tourists, and began to do my homework for today.
The urban area of Prague consists of an old square, a small urban area and a castle area. There are also several characteristic towns around it for sightseeing. I plan to wander around the city first that day, and then choose one or two towns to visit according to the situation.
as to whether to stay in this city for a day or a few days, I have no idea. I have to make a decision based on my travels and my feelings about this city that day. In the next ten days of travel, this has always been my playing principle. )
Map of Prague City
After finishing my homework, I feel a lot brighter. The helplessness and worry of the previous day have slowly dissipated with the night, replaced by a throbbing and excited mood and an attitude of handling things when it comes.
I haven't had breakfast yet. I checked the local food by the way and found a recommended restaurant, which is about 1 meters away from me. So, I simply cleaned up, took my homework that I got up early, and happily left for that restaurant.
CaféLouvre
is said to be a century-old shop frequented by Kafka and Einstein. In such a short time, I stumbled across and came to this restaurant (I didn't miss the small shop in front of me because of lack of homework), which can definitely be regarded as a surprise at the beginning of my trip, and the faint joy came to my mind.
when I came to the restaurant, I found a window seat and looked at the menu that I couldn't understand at all. I simply called the waiter and asked him to recommend me. Finally, I ordered a cup of hot chocolate and a local dessert.
delicious breakfast
I've never seen such hot chocolate. I shook the cup slightly from side to side, and the thick cocoa smell caught my eye, as if it would soon condense into solid chocolate if I didn't drink it right away.
So, I couldn't wait to take a sip. The thick slurry melted in my mouth instantly, and the temperature was just right. After passing through my lips and teeth, a small amount of slurry flowed into my abdomen and my heart along my throat, completely wrapping my heart, only to feel a warm airflow flowing from my heart to my whole body.
food can comfort people and give them a sense of happiness.
Simple dining room
While enjoying the meal, I looked around the dining room. When I arrived, it was empty, and soon it was full of people. I look at the guests at each table and tell whether they are tourists or locals from their expressions.
local people are generally reading newspapers leisurely and concentrating on their breakfast. Tourists, like me, are always looking around the fresh environment, and those eyes with nowhere to put them will meet from time to time and understand each other.
Through the window, I looked at the streets and pedestrians with rapt attention, trying to perceive and imagine, were celebrities like Kafka who lived in Prague as leisurely as I am now, meditating and creating wholeheartedly in this or some cafe? Walking in Prague Square
Walking in the alley leading to the old square, there are houses with red roofs and yellow walls on both sides, and some simple and dark-colored carvings are dotted on the houses, and the spires of nearby small churches occasionally emerge quietly. With Shi Zhuan neatly paved roads, straight to the distance. Uniform colors and regular layout make narrow alleys look neat and transparent.
Statue of a Hanging Man
There are many outdoor cafes and restaurants near the alley of the square. Although they are not open yet, you can imagine that the business here is booming in the afternoon or at night.
The restaurant near Prague Square
turned a corner, and the road became wider. A large group of people were standing on one side of the road, looking up at the opposite sky and whispering from time to time. Looking in the direction of their reverence, it turns out that the buildings they are looking at are Prague City Hall and the famous astronomical clock.
This clock tower is not as tall and magnificent as expected. It is simple and low-key. In the storm, it silently records the time and history and sees the ups and downs of the city. In the cold weather without sunshine, the mottled clock tower is even more full of vicissitudes and a sense of the times.
Stand on the astronomical clock
The old square in Prague is further ahead. Because of the marathon, the square is very lively, surrounded by marathon runners who are competing, and the open space in the middle is the booth of some sponsors, while pedestrians can only travel between the squares through the temporary overpass. This temporary overpass became a commanding height of the old square that day.
Prague's old square
There is a statue of Jan Huss, a pioneer of religious reform, in the open space of the square, and the church of Tyne and the church of Saint Nicholas stand in the north of the statue respectively. These two churches have different styles, but they both have high historical value and appreciation value.
tyne church
tyne church is a gothic building, with two groups of gothic towers towering into the sky, and a number of small spires are surrounded around the main spire, which is like a fierce burning flame. The top of each spire is also decorated with pure gold round bars, which highlights the massiness and vastness of the top of the tower and strengthens the visual effect of soaring into the sky. These two dark, metal towers look like two mountains, hanging over the square, giving people the feeling of oppression, coldness and fear.
St. Nicholas's Church
The St. Nicholas's Church, which echoes from a distance, is completely different. It belongs to the Baroque period. Snow-white walls and a small bronze roof, and the surrounding pilasters are decorated with gorgeous statues. The whole church looks delicate, gentle and beautiful, giving people a pleasant and stretching feeling. Near it, it seems that you can still hear the sound of Mozart playing the harpsichord here.
the gunpowder tower
is located more than 8 meters east of the old square. It was originally one of the 13 gates in Prague, and was later named after it was used to store gunpowder. Its structure is quite similar to the astronomical clock and Tyne Church. The dark appearance seems to have been burnt by something, and it really lives up to the name "gunpowder tower".
This road from the old square to the gunpowder tower is just a short track of Prague Marathon. Most of my travels in the last two years were due to the local marathon. And this is my first time as an audience, standing on the periphery to watch the marathon.
Prague Marathon
Looking at the athletes passing by my eyes, no matter what pace they are, they are all running forward with concentration and hard work. I am thinking that the word "marathon" may gradually increase the meaning of "wide" in the meaning of "far". Imagine what other activities can allow thousands of people to be the main body of the activity at the same time, * * * to participate and * * * to achieve the goal of the activity? Love in Prague
In my impression, Prague is a city closely connected with such words as "encounter", "love" and "romance". My relationship with Prague Square can probably be traced back to a movie I watched in college-Love in Prague.
Still from the movie Love in Prague
I like the country girl Teresa played by Juliette Binoche in the movie. She is simple and lively, longing for love. For a long time, I don't think a good girl like Teresa should like playboy Tomas, and I don't think Tomas should deliberately pretend to seduce a good girl, Teresa. In my heart, Tomans' possession of Teresa is a total waste of time, and I feel that people like Tomans only deserve to be with Sa Bona, who is the same as him.
as I get older, I gradually find that it is usually difficult to distinguish between "love and affection" and "affection and desire", just like the two sides of a coin. The law of "birds of a feather flock together" may not always apply to love, and there is no truth in liking a person. The feelings and experiences gained in two of a kind may be more important than rational considerations such as "is it worth it" and "should it be".
Of course, the concept of love is a special test of a person's character. "Holding your hand and growing old with your son" is certainly an ideal and model in love. However, I think this does not mean that the existence and significance of "dew feeling" can be completely denied, and "dew feeling" can not be equated with "starting chaos and eventually abandoning".
Love is not measured by its length. I feel that this thing may be born with some impulsiveness and recklessness. As for what is emotional morality, or what is the criterion of emotional restraint, I think it can be excavated through the original intention of the combination of the two and the attitude of aftermath. If it contains "sincerity", "true love" and "cherish", then this is a high-quality emotion worthy of recognition.
Little Square
Statue of Jan Hus
Perhaps it is because of the noise of the marathon, perhaps because of the over-exaggeration of literature and art, and also because I have not fully entered the state of travel. In my eyes, Prague Square is not as romantic, beautiful and sweet as I imagined.
some things are probably the most beautiful and best only if they stay in their minds and fantasies. Just like those colorful bubbles blown out in the square, if you look at the world through it, it will be colorful, and it will always burst. After the color blowing in the wind, only the gray and gloomy world will be left behind, and the real dignitaries will be more calm and stronger.
Beautiful night view of the old square
Once, the wishing pool in Prague Square captured a generation of boys and girls' hazy fantasy of romance.
Now, walking through the cobblestone path in Golden Lane, I come across the Renaissance castle; Waiting for the sunset in the ancient town on the Charles Bridge, I finally left my heart in Prague. Old Town Square
It is one of the most important markets for Sino-European trade in the 11th and 12th centuries, and it is also the place where political events that determine the country's historical destiny took place, with a history of 9 years. There are various styles of surrounding buildings, including Gothic Tyne Church and Baroque Saint Nicholas Church.
