Impressions of Salzburg

It was evening when we arrived in Salzburg. No matter which direction we walked in the car, we could see the castle. The name of Salzburg is actually Salt Castle. Salt was the white gold of the time. It seems that salt is a symbol of wealth all over the world. The business of Chinese restaurants in Salzburg is very good. Not only are all seats occupied, but the table turnover rate is extremely high. This kind of table turnover rate would make any owner very happy.

Salzburg and art are also inextricably linked. Mozart was born here. There is Mozart Square in the center of the old city, Mozart's birthplace in the old city, and Mozart's former residence outside the old city. In Salzburg Cathedral, you can see Mozart's baptism vessel. The streets are full of Mozart chocolates, Mozart ducks, Mozart concert flyers, Mozart postcards, Mozart refrigerator magnets, and Mozart. . . Haha, it is certainly true that Mr. Mozart was a musical genius, and the Austrian people are certainly proud of him. However, his untimely death was directly related to his addiction to gambling and drug abuse. We also found the location where The Sound of Music was filmed, which is now a hotel. "The Sound of Music" is an adaptation of local real-life events. The birthplace of conductor Karajan is right next to our hotel, but now there are people living in that building, and the sculpture can only be seen from the outside.

The protagonist of Salzburg should be Bishop Wolf Dietrich Raitenau. Most of the buildings we see now are from his period. Salzburg is one of the few kingdoms that combines politics and religion, and the bishop also has administrative power. Therefore, the story of Alexander the Great is painted on the ceiling of the Bishop's Palace, which makes the bishop's rule more justified. Bishop Wolf also had a lover and children, and built Mirabell Palace for his lover. However, he ended up being overthrown by his cousin (or nephew) and spent the rest of his life in the tall castle in Salzburg. The most stunning things in the protagonist's palace are the pope's crown and scepter. The exquisite workmanship and gorgeousness are definitely no less than the emperor's crown. They symbolize supreme power and glory, but also cost countless lives.

The cutest place is the Little Moon Palace. Bishop Markus Sittikus, a relative of Bishop Wolf who overthrew Bishop, was definitely not an ordinary human being. He found a prank fountain designed by skilled Italian craftsmen, and used the potential energy of the water drop and the echo principle of stalactites to simulate bird calls, as well as a fountain that sticks out its tongue, and Small fountains that can control the take-off and landing of hats using water jets back and forth, etc. Even by today's standards, it is definitely still a model of imagination, and I have to say that the master still knows how to play.

Walking into the small streets of Salzburg, it looks like a European-style town. Haha, it is originally a European town. Many houses have sun clocks on their walls, as well as iconic iron signs. Because it was the weekend, I met many people wearing Bavarian national costumes attending weddings, and many of the clothes had some modern improvements. Men all wear suede shorts, stockings and leather shoes. This is what their old emperors wore hundreds of years ago.

The hotel we stayed in, Hotel Sach, has to be mentioned. I originally ate the Sahe cake in Austria. When I arrived in Salzburg, I simply stayed at the Sahe Hotel. This hotel from 1843 is located in the Sahe River, a tributary of the Danube River. Next to the Erzach River, a tall castle can be seen outside the window. There is no swiping card in the room, you still need to use the key. The most interesting thing is that the waiter who took the luggage was so cute. His costume was similar to that of a chef. At first we thought the hotel was short of manpower. When I asked him if he worked in the kitchen, he remembered me, and when he saw me the next day, he joked with me that he was going to work in the kitchen.

Salzburg was once an independent kingdom with a unified state and religion. Although the tall castle has never been conquered, the city's fate is also unfortunate. It has changed owners several times and is now part of Austria.
