However, why the city was built in the sea? it is said that the 5th century a.d., to avoid the invasion of Asia, nomads, coastal residents to flee to the coast of the island and the swamp, is the origin of Venice.

Gateway to the West of the bridgehead.

All of it can not be separated from a "water", a division of 150 years of poetries from water flowing to us.

We went to the city, the first impression of Venice is seen from the water.

Blue sky, blue sea, a palatial city, sits on the sea. Ashore, we crossed the guest, in a corner of the small Pier, collective take a walk in boat gondola do water, enjoy the beauty of water the water.

"Gondola" is a major characteristic of Venice.

It is said that making strict but pay attention: 11 m, width 1 m, near to the oak wood materials, use black paint Daubs into seven times before. Full of six persons, with boatman. River side of the House impressively, but obviously stale, individual has worn, small stone, from time to time in the face of flying, ancient scenes of daily life in Venice just surfaced. A little while, the boat sailed into the broad landscape of the Grand Canal, meal, this is Venice's City Centre, the sides of tall buildings in a vast swathe of the palace-style. Ship to the segmentation of the Grand Canal Bridge, began to return. Half hour trip actually sailing only 15 minutes. Understanding gondola is nearly an hour.

Returned to the guest, I would like the sea while roaming in the ancient buildings.

San Marco square, Venice, St. Mark's Cathedral, everywhere the distinguished guest.

I'm in the carnival masks before stopping.

Venice Carnival history of renown, is back in 1979, is currently one of the world's largest carnival. A man wearing a mask, lost identity, get the freedom to indulge me, can, this is a lot of people like Carnival. It is said that during the Festival, they said: "Hello, Mr. mask. "We could catch Christmas Carnival is one of the few tourists after all, buy a mask is more convenient to buy several small mask souvenirs, spend is not too great. Also visitors buy top clown hat, Posada Carriles, on the street with himself. Since coming to Venice, it may be presumptuous.
