Section 1494: Three Years



Everyone has heard the detailed introduction, so I won't go into details. The blue car behind Yunluo and the identical red car on the other side occupy the best angle to take pictures of the Brandenburg Gate. Want to stand on the car and take a picture with the Brandenburg Gate? Hehe, bring money first. Behind the Brandenburg Gate. Behind the Brandenburg Gate is Juneteenth Street, which leads directly to the Victory Column.

There are large tracts of lush forests on both sides of the street. It used to be the hunting grounds of the German emperor. During World War II, Berlin citizens used to cut trees here to make fires for warmth in winter. Now the forest has been developed into a park, and many people run in it. It is quite similar to New York's Central Park. After visiting the Victory Column, it was almost time to enter the Reichstag.

The following photo of the Soviet army raising the red flag on the Reichstag was in the history book of junior high school. I made an appointment to visit the top of the Reichstag in the afternoon, and planned to go to the same angle to see it. The reservation website is, and you can make a free reservation by email. After the reservation is completed, you will receive a confirmation letter, which you need to print out and show this confirmation letter and your ID card when entering the site.

The picture below is a historical photo of the Soviet Red Army climbing to the top of the Reichstag and planting the flag after they broke through Berlin. Yunluo also wanted to take a photo from this angle. But when he went up, he found that the layout of the Reichstag was symmetrical, and there were more than two identical sculptures. He could only take a photo from a roughly estimated direction. Maybe this was the angle the photographer took the photo from back then.

Look at the sculpture on the right. Does it look like the sculpture in the upper right corner of the old photo? There is a square tower like this on each of the four corners of the Capitol, representing the four states of the time. The glass dome on the Capitol. The dome is a steel and glass structure with a round hole in the middle of the top to collect rainwater for recycling.

The Capitol provides free audio guides in Chinese. Walk up the circular path inside the glass dome step by step. When you reach certain locations, the guide will automatically play the audio introduction without pressing buttons. This is the round hole used to collect rainwater. On the way back to the hotel, I met an acrobat who asked passers-by to cooperate with his performance. It was very exciting and interesting.

He invited a mother and son to help him. He also asked the mother to put her hand on his buttocks and kept shouting "Mama, position!" Today, we mainly saw the Nefertati head on Museum Island and the Berlin Wall. The Berlin TV Tower is right next to the hotel where Yunluo stayed. It is the tallest building in Berlin and can be seen from anywhere in Berlin.

Berlin Cathedral. There are tourists everywhere. There are also many wanderers from Eastern Europe, jugglers and performers. In short, there are a lot of people. When I visited the Abu Simbel Temple in Egypt, there was also a Hathor Temple next to it. The Hathor Temple was built by Ramses II for his wife Nefertati.

Nefertati's head is in a museum on Museum Island. The bridge connecting Museum Island is full of classical European architecture. This is one of the many museums on Museum Island. Yunluo first saw a photo of Nefertati's head in an art textbook in high school. Today I finally saw the original, but the museum does not allow taking photos of the statue.

Yunluo has visited the four major museums in the world. In comparison, Museum Island is not ordinary cuo (please read the second tone here, thank you), so Yunluo is too lazy to take too many photos. There are several lifelike bronze statues on the river bank opposite the Berlin Cathedral. There are three girls and one boy, with different poses. Yunluo will call this sculpture group "Three Girls and One Boy".

Haha, isn't it vulgar? Look carefully: it's really called "three women and one man". I'm also artistic. Personally, I think that if you come to Berlin and don't see the Berlin Wall, it's like you haven't been to Berlin. The Berlin Wall is on the beautiful Spree River. Its history is well known. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the government specially preserved a section, and many graffiti masters and painting masters came here to create freely.

Many of the works have political implications. There is a small stall next to the Berlin Wall selling brick fragments that fell from the Berlin Wall. Yunluo specifically compared the texture of the fragments with the Berlin Wall next to it, and felt that they were similar. So he bought a piece. This work vividly shows the scene when the Berlin Wall fell and East Berliners flocked to West Berlin.

A hand pushed others to climb over the Berlin Wall. "Brotherly Kiss" is the most famous graffiti on the Berlin Wall. Yunluo walked along the Berlin Wall for a while but didn't find the graffiti. After walking a few more steps, he saw a vendor selling brick fragments of the Berlin Wall. He just walked up to him and said, "Hello, could you tell me where it is?"

The handsome guy selling the goods directly said "The Kiss?" Yun Luo said yes, and he pointed in a direction, and they found it in a few steps. The painting next to Yun Luo is "Brother's Kiss", the artist is Vrubel of Russia. It is based on a real photo of Brezhnev of the former Soviet Union kissing the former East German leader Honecker.

This is a historical prototype. Brezhnev + Honecker. During Brezhnev's tenure, he liked to kiss male leaders of socialist countries, and even kissed them forcefully. This disgusted many foreign leaders. Some even gave flowers and kept their distance to avoid being kissed by him (what a disgusting old man).

The back of the Berlin Wall is also covered with graffiti and paintings. German silver also has love locks. After watching the Berlin Wall, I went back. I got up in the morning and took the Tegel Airport bus. I will fly to Paris today. Berlin's public transportation is very user-friendly.

When the car stops, the door side of the car will tilt down to facilitate passengers to get on the car, and the car body will return to horizontal after the door is closed. Waiting for the flight, Tegel Airport is very small, and it is only a few steps to each terminal and boarding gate, which is very convenient and fast. While waiting for the flight, a German beauty sat next to me. She saw Yunluo sitting next to her.

He trusted Yunluo very much and said to Yunluo, "Can you help me look after my clothes and luggage? I need to go to the bathroom." Yunluo was stunned for a moment, because in China, this kind of thing might be a trick used by scammers to extort money. But Yunluo suddenly recalled an incident in Washington last year: Yunluo was walking back from visiting the Capitol, and a girl ran past Yunluo.

Suddenly, she fell to the ground with a "pop". Yun Luo looked back and saw that she had fallen, and the iTouch tied to her arm was thrown far away. Thinking of the many cases of "helping others but being blackmailed" in China, she was muttering in her heart, "Should I help or not?" While she was hesitating, two men helped her up and sat on the flower bed, and the other helped her pick up the iTouch, and then they left.

Yunluo came back to her senses: This is America. Thinking of this, Yunluo said: Okay, Yunluo will help you watch. So she went to the bathroom. After coming back, she took a pen to write something. Unexpectedly, she took out a very old metal stationery! Yes, a metal stationery box! This is something Yunluo used many years before Christ.

She said it was used by her father. They cherish old things and don't like to replace them with new ones. This may explain why ancient buildings in developed capitalist countries are well preserved. After coming to Germany, ZZ of FDP once instructed Yunluo to find out about the housing prices in Germany. Seeing that she was German, Yunluo raised this question.

Her answer was what Yunluo expected. Germany was very similar to Yunluo and Anchu's situation. Housing prices were soaring. Housing prices in big cities were high, and it was difficult for young people to buy houses. Haha. Everyone should stop complaining about China's housing prices. It's the same everywhere. Soon we arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport. We followed the signs all the way to the bus stop.

Take the Air France bus line to Gare de Lyon. It is very close to the hostel where Yunluo is staying. The picture below shows the various bus and light rail routes from Charles de Gaulle Airport and Orly Airport to Paris. The cheapest is to take the bus or the light rail. It seems to cost less than 10 euros, but there are very few buses. If you miss the previous one, you have to wait for a long time. Waiting for the bus. The ticket price is 10 euros. A small hotel in Paris.

This is the most expensive place in Yunluo's European trip. It costs more RMB per night, which doesn't quite fit Yunluo's purpose of traveling on a budget. Never mind. Everything is expensive in Paris. This place is not far from the city center. At least it's a small single room with privacy. It's quiet. When I thought of this, Yunluo felt relieved. I was very sleepy today. I watched an episode of "Day Day Up" on our Mango TV on my phone and then fell asleep.

Good morning, Paris! Today's mission is to visit the Louvre, Notre Dame de Paris, and the top of the Montparnasse Tower. The Seine River. Opposite is a police station. The building is so majestic, it looks like a castle. The east entrance of the Louvre. The iconic glass pyramid of the Louvre. Yunluo and An first met at the entrance of the Window of the World in Shenzhen.

It's just a smaller version. A sneak shot of a white beauty. After waiting in line for nearly an hour, I finally entered the pyramid entrance. Countless people lined up to buy tickets at the ticket window, but almost no one used the automatic ticket machine next to it. I tried it with the idea of ​​giving it a try. As a result, I successfully bought a ticket on it. The long line of people in the serpentine path was messy.

I watched Yun Luo leave. Okay, I won't accompany you anymore. I have to go see Mona Lisa before I get squeezed like dogs. Bye. As a result, when I arrived, it was already squeezed like dogs. The scene was exactly like what was written in the guide, peoplemountainpeoplesea. Forget it, I will see "Mona Lisa" even if it is squeezed like dogs. I came to the Louvre this time for no other reason.

Just to see her beauty (if this is Leonardo da Vinci's self-portrait, can it still be called beauty? Okay, Yunluo is messy). There is a semicircular partition in front of the painting, and tourists cannot get close. There are three or four security guards next to it. Yunluo waited for a while before moving to the front to take pictures. After taking a few pictures, he quickly let the tourists behind take pictures.

It is said that no matter which angle you look at Mona Lisa, her (or "his") eyes are looking at you. I tried it and it is true. I walked around her from left to right and took several photos - she is really looking at you. It is amazing! Pictures speak louder than words: There are three treasures in the Louvre, except Mona Lisa.

The Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. I am not particularly fond of the latter two treasures, but I still can't help but take pictures of them. Please make do with them. Two years ago, Yunluo saw a "Venus with Shoes" in a museum in St. Petersburg. Although it was a bit tacky and there was no suspense about the arms, it was better in that the posture and expression were more natural.

Yunluo likes it more - yes, that's right, Yunluo is just an ordinary person. Everyone goes to see the goddess of beauty Venus, and no one looks at the goddess of wisdom Athena. Athena is unhappy: OK, OK, Yunluo's goddess, you are as beautiful as her, Yunluo's favorite goddess is you. The favorite goddess of wisdom Athena. Next is the third treasure: the goddess of victory. Sorry, Yunluo is illiterate in art.

I just don't think this broken statue is good. Okay, Yunluo doesn't understand. Next is the same old famous paintings + sculptures. I'm tired of it, so I didn't take too many photos. Gabrielle and her sisters, author unknown Gericault's work: "The Raft of the Medusa". I've seen it in a high school art book.

It describes the scene of several survivors of a shipwreck seeing a distant sail in the sky and calling for help. Did ancient European priests also put their palms together? It seems to have something to do with Buddhism. Anyone who knows French history knows this person: Richelieu. Cardinal, cardinal, and prime minister were all his titles.

He was not only a great politician who ruled the country well and laid the material foundation for France's dominance in Europe; he was also a skilled diplomat who played with other countries. He was in power for 15 years. He was best described as a maneuverer and a commander. The largest battleship ever built by the French army was named after him.

Richelieu founded the French Academy, which is now considered the highest honor in the French academic community. Even Napoleon was proud to be a member of the Academy. Napoleon always indicated his title when signing all documents. After he was elected as a member of the French Academy of Mathematics, he always signed "Member of the Academy of Sciences. Commander-in-Chief, XXX, XXXX".

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The title of academician is always written at the front. Another version of "The Last Supper" This time, the most seen thing is the furniture and interior of the royal family, which is extremely luxurious. Compared with the ancient Chinese palace that Yunluo and An Chu met, the ancient European palace is completely worthy of the word "golden and magnificent". It is more delicate and well-behaved, while the Chinese palace is more majestic.

More imposing and bold. Crystal glass produced by French handicraft workshops. In the feudal era when mercantilism prevailed, this was an important export product for France to earn foreign exchange. The dragon bed in Napoleon's living room. The problem is, the curtains are too thick, isn't it hot in summer? "Sun King" Louis XIV, the first powerful absolute monarch of France.

A monarch who is very good at playing two sides. The crown is probably a shield and helmet used by the king or general, with exquisite carvings and paintings on it. This is not a weapon, but a work of art. Yunluo has seen this kind of plate with snakes in it in museums more than once. Yunluo has seen it in the Hermitage, the Metropolitan Museum, and the British Museum.

I walked around today but didn't see it. I always had a hunch: Yunluo would definitely see the same thing. Sure enough, I saw it right away. I would like to ask someone who knows Western art to give me some advice: What is the meaning of this plate with a snake on it? There are too many exhibits in the Louvre Banquet Hall. Yunluo looked at them for several hours and almost finished what he was interested in.

So I came out. I looked back and saw that the queue was much longer than when Yunluo first came. Yunluo, who was just a few people, queued for half an hour. It would take at least an hour for so many people. I said I wanted postcards before coming to France. Now that I have finished visiting the Louvre, I will go to the big souvenir shop next to it to buy postcards and send them.

Yunluo went into the store and asked where the post office was. The clerk said there was one in the Louvre. Doesn't this mean that Yunluo has to queue up for more than an hour to mail it? No! +^+. Forgive Yunluo, I really don't have the energy to queue up for more than an hour to mail a postcard. Yunluo will stay in Paris later, and will also go to Milan and Rome, so I will have plenty of opportunities to send it to you.

Next, we went to Notre Dame de Paris. Notre Dame de Paris is located on an island in the middle of the Seine River. It is not far from the Louvre, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there. When I read Notre Dame de Paris in elementary school, I didn't understand many plots, but later I understood (you know what I mean), and I was impressed by the protagonist Quasimodo's deep, foolish, and great love.

Although the novel ends with a love tragedy that happened in Notre Dame de Paris. But - but - but there are still people taking wedding photos in this tragic place. Well, I wish you all the best and hope you will grow old together. You can buy a ticket to visit Notre Dame de Paris and climb to the top to see the view of Paris. Yunluo is not interested.

Because we are going to the best place to see the view of Paris next - Montparnasse Tower. The ticket to the top is 10 euros, which is a bit expensive, but considering that it is the highest observation tower in the central area of ​​Paris, we went up. I met a little girl on the rooftop of the Eiffel Tower Arc de Triomphe. She was so cute. I wish Yunluo could also give birth to such a cute little girl.

I couldn't help but take a few more photos. After seeing the city view of Paris, I was very tired, so I took the subway back. The trains on the light purple line of the Paris subway are very advanced and unmanned. But the trains on the light green line are very backward, and you have to manually pull the handle to open and close the door. Haha, this generation gap is a bit big. Some lines have English announcements.

But most of the lines that Yunluo sat on didn't have them. He had never heard the station announcements in Chinese (of course). But what surprised Yunluo was that although there were no station announcements in Chinese, the speakers repeatedly played reminders in Chinese, English, and Japanese: "Please keep your belongings safe and beware of theft" - it seems that the impression that Asians are rich has been deeply rooted in European minds.

The ticket machines in the Paris Metro are very interesting. You use the roller to select up and down, and then use the red and green buttons on the left and right to confirm or cancel. The cloudy weather in Paris was very cloudy, and it was drizzling. Today's mission is to see the real scene of "The Bourne Supremacy": the Grand Arc de Triomphe. It is just outside the terminus of the metro line, La De Fense.

In the drama, Bourne walked towards the Grande Arche from this direction. Behind Bourne is the CBD area, where ancient Paris shows the modern charm of an international metropolis. Here is a screenshot from The Bourne Supremacy, where Bourne walked towards the Grande Arche from this angle. I walked there and took a photo of it. The Grande Arche is actually a building. (~^~)
