Top Ten Famous Tourist Attractions in the Netherlands

No.10 Gouda Cheese Hometown - Gouda

I remember that when I was a child, I felt special when watching Tom and Jerry. I wanted to go to the United States to eat cheese, but later I learned that the origin of that famous round cheese is actually Gouda in the Netherlands. In the Dutch countryside where the dairy industry is developed, there are more cows than people. Gouda is the most famous origin of all Dutch cheeses - more than 50% of the cheese in the Netherlands comes from Gouda. In addition to cheese, Gouda is also famous for its specialty food "Stroopwafel" (Stroopwafel, which is very sweet and I don't like it). Gouda is secluded among the many metropolitan cities in the west of the Netherlands. There are no skyscrapers and bustling crowds. Instead, it has always set itself in those ancient times: quiet canals, gorgeous churches, lively markets, just like The world of fairy tales. Here you will inadvertently slow down and appreciate the rings carved by the years.

No.9 Afsluitdijk The miracle created by the Dutch - the sea-blocking dam

The Netherlands has a low and flat terrain, with a quarter of the land below sea level. Her history is a history of fighting against water. From the 13th century to the present, the land area of ??the Netherlands has been reduced by 560,000 hectares due to sea erosion. After centuries of hard work, the Dutch people, who have been fighting the sea unrelentingly, finally built a dyke with a total length of 1,800 kilometers and reclaimed 700,000 hectares of land from the sea. Therefore, the Dutch have always proudly believed that "God created the world, and the Dutch created the Netherlands." Apart from our Great Wall, the only human engineering visible in space is the Zuiderzee Dam, which is 32.5 kilometers long and connects the northern Netherlands. The sea-blocking dam completed in 1932 has a base width of 90 meters and is 10 meters above sea level. The top of the dam is a highway. After the dam was built, the coastline of the Netherlands was shortened by 300 kilometers, greatly reducing the intrusion of seawater into the inland.

No.8 Amsterdam is not only the red light district - Amsterdam. Amsterdam is the capital, largest city and second largest port of the Netherlands. The population is about 700,000. , Amsterdam is an "underwater city" with a terrain 1-5 meters below sea level. The city is densely covered with rivers and is known as the "Venice of the North". In the past, houses throughout the city were built on wooden piles, and the city seemed to rest on countless wooden piles. Amsterdam is a water city. To appreciate the flavor of the water city, you must take an Amsterdam sightseeing cruise. At night in Amsterdam, lights are lit along the canals and bridges, which is full of romance. Amsterdam is surrounded by canals, and you can visit the Royal Palace, New Church, National Monument and Madame Tussauds along Dam Avenue. There are more than 60 art galleries and museums in Amsterdam. The more representative ones are concentrated in Museum Square. If you are tired, you can take a break in the nearby cafe and enjoy the leisurely Dutch style.

No.7 Hoorn, a unique North Sea fishing village - Hoorn

Hoorn was a city that flourished during the prosperity of the Dutch East India Company in the 19th century. Today, the hordes of merchant fleets and lively trading scenes of the Dutch sea coachmen in the past have been completely preserved only in Hollen. This medieval town has completely preserved the traditional fishing industry of the Netherlands. Here you can also taste the purest fried fish (kebberling) and raw herring (haring) snacks in the Netherlands. The quaint houses on the streets and the bronze sculptures on both sides tell you a legendary history of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
