The next morning to Garden Hotel Garden, full of flowers, trees and lawn.
Fresh air, make people happy, I do not know what the bird, crisp, bright chirping, the charm of the morning. Slight drizzle make clean air humidity, a deep breath, around the small forest running in, and then on a set of taijiquan, really comfortable to leave.After breakfast, the car carrying us to Milan.
Today's ride is 300 km. Milan is Italy's second largest city, located in Northern Italy Alps South of wave River plain, it is the cradle of art and home of many talented people.After lunch, we came to Milan city centre.
A fine of Milan Cathedral suddenly stands in front. This is a typical decorative Gothic architecture. It has 130 Spire, each constructed of exquisite and delicate. 2000 more relief around the walls and the mosaics and tiles in the top and bottom of the post, the characters are small, but quite old. It is divided into many layers, each layer is divided into many independent, pierced by the vertical Tower, the Tower organic combination as a whole, is exquisite. The entire structure with white marble sculpture. It was founded in 1386, built in 1500, but the real setting is in the late 19th century, all built more than 500 years. It is second only to the Vatican's St. Peter's Cathedral. The church interior is luxurious, each window is inlaid with painted glass, glass picture color is bright, hundreds of years have not faded. The window's upper edge is vaulted window frames, each window frames, the following are meticulous and delicate sculptures, Notre Dame, the son, the story of the Bible. No wonder Mark · Twain called it the "marble" of poetry. Italy's art is precisely because of the religious development makes it so that power and wealth. The scale of the building in modern is unimaginable, no person or Government Organization such enormous precision fashion team, it is not so much time and money to build such a deal. You can only for it's size, as it is exquisite and praise.Milan Cathedral came to Emma Manuel II promenade.
Promenade on both sides are typical European-style building, is a bustling commercial district of Milan, the upper part of the corridor is transparent, arched roofs, its door look like a triumphal arch. The streets are very particular about coffee shop. Here consumption is very high. Especially for those of us who use RMB, a Cup, accurately described as a SIP of coffee (up the milk foam called card Bocchino coffee) is 3 euros, equivalent to 30 yuan, while an ice cream to 10 euros, 100 RMB. Most of the items in the shop price, Italy handbags are in RMB tens of thousands, until. Brand-name clothes and shoes you need, but not the general public consumption.Through the corridor is Scala square, Scala was built here, this is the world's most famous Opera House, although it looks simple unadorned, but it is very luxurious, sound effects, the Auditorium was also very spacious and can accommodate up to 3600 people, Westerners have regarded here as the Opera shrine.
So here is scheduled program will be the world's attention.The square, a Renaissance artists up to the statue of Leonardo da Vinci · stands at the top of the pillars, head hat, dressed in robes of da · meat dumpling in Finch, droops head, a focus on thinking.
The Quartet of the four corner stone, stood four young scholars, it is up to the student · Leonardo da Vinci. These sculptures are vivid, every detail will be overlooked, is really amazing.Milan attractions more concentrated, so the rest of the decentralised activities.
Some people want to go back to the hotel to rest, the young to drink coffee to go shopping, I and my husband would like to visit the Museum. Fortunately, walked past. Far is a medieval castle, listen to the guide said that this was a Duke's territory, because he has no children, so give him an illegitimate daughter called drop a son-in-law, the son-in-law bravely, keep this territory. This is enclosed by walls of the Castle, with a high level of the Fort, which is covered with shooting with the small window. The castle is surrounded by a deep ditch, is to prevent the invasion of the enemy, and we almost ancient towns. Enter the Castle, really makes you think back to the middle ages. Khaki walls, black cylindrical bell tower fortress, tall, are to demonstrate that it has a long history. There is now a museum. Unfortunately, we do not understand Italy man, so can only simple look at the inside of the exhibits. Here is a long history of various musical instruments, organ, violin and some wind instrument. There are various tombstones engraving on, there are ancient arches and underground stone coffins and many ancient sculpture, always remind you Italy so splendid ancient.The castle is very large, you can see a lot of things, two uniformed horseback riding high big horse, went into the Castle, which also scenery line.
The castle behind a large park, many children playing there. We have exhausted, to Emma Manuel II promenade to and join our people. Two young people are the coffee shop on the promenade of coffee, enjoy European leisure life. Course price is also very impressive.Milan because not tourism hotline, so relatively less people, and it is a big industrial city, bustling than other cities in Italy.
Many Chinese people, especially the Wenzhou promising Milan market, the Wenzhou shoes sold in the Milan, there are a number of shoe factory in Italy, made money, the wife took the children to. We fly the airplane Italy saw a lot of such people, carrying various Wenzhou shoes to Milan. You don't know will buy shoes are produced in our China, prices but more than the domestic high, so in order to avoid the bait, or not to buy anything.Today is our last day of Italy, tomorrow we will enter Europe one of the richest countries and Switzerland.
Maybe I should summarize the impression of Italy. Of course, here we are still too cursory. But because I' After all gone four most typical of the city. It should also be felt in it. First of all I think that Italy's history is glorious, luomadoushouchang scale and design are first-class, plus give you entered, it is a shocking. Italy's art is amazing, it deserves to be the cradle of the Renaissance, those for masters of sculpture and painting, even obscure nobodies works can make you forget to return. Italy's art is closely linked with religion. Maybe Renaissance more reflected in religion. St. Paul's Cathedral, Notre Dame Cathedral, take the Milan Cathedral ... In terms of design and architecture are the creative, and we Chinese temples are completely different. It truly reflects the designers thought, let people develop their imagination. Inside of sculpture, painting, although it is the story of the Bible, but the artist's creation, they make you feel not only entered the religious Sheng Temple, more like to enter the Palace of art.But Italy city but really messed up, the more narrow streets, cars, nor did any good car.
Street side of the housing is car, about living in the old will not be very comfortable. They say that in Italy, I don't know how to evaluate. It can be a dirty, messy, bad to describe. Perhaps Italy too romantic, romantic is not willing to get down to doing construction, it is passion of cities without it. Give people the art of enjoyment, but without a good quality of life. This is Italy.
