1. Travel to Europe at the end of June

I suggest you visit the following 10 attractions:

1. Huocheng: Huocheng has the largest plantation in China The densest lavender fields. Starting in June, lavender blooms in large numbers. There is also a lavender museum in Princess Youjie Lavender Garden, and the lavender planted near Luchaogou in the northeast of Qingshui River has gradually become known. Some of the people here are less crowded than other lavender fields, so friends who like quietness can choose it. Huocheng is one of the places to go in June.

3. Changbai Mountain: If you don’t go to Changbai Mountain in the cold winter, summer is a good choice.

The volcanic lake at the top of the mountain is as pure and clear as sapphire.

The golden sandy beach and the endless blue sea, the sea breeze blows gently, the seagulls fly overhead, and the sunset makes you linger on the beauty of the seaside. Weihai is definitely one of the top ten best places for domestic travel in June.

5. Lushan Mountain: Although Lushan Mountain is beautiful in all seasons, the scenery in summer is particularly intoxicating, with green mountains, mountains, flowing water, waterfalls, and sunrises. You can see three thousand feet flowing down the river, and the Milky Way is falling for nine days. You will realize that I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, but I am only on this mountain.

6. Gulangyu Island: Gulangyu Island is the best place to spend a few days with good friends and enjoy some quiet time. Walking on Gulangyu Island in June, flowers, plants and trees cover all the buildings in the world, as if you are in a European town.

Northern route, take the land route. From Xi'an, China, go all the way west, across plateau valleys, across desert basins, deep into the hinterland of Central Asia, and connected with Europe. The Silk Road Economic Belt strategy covers the economic integration of Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, and ultimately leads to Europe, forming a general trend of economic integration in Eurasia.

3. Route to Europe

Keywords: visa, currency, route, travel brochure, attraction map, reservation, bus transportation, car rental, navigation, communication, exchange rate Conversion.

1. Visa

The three countries we are going to, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany, are all Schengen countries, so we only need to apply for a Schengen visa. Since we have stayed in Austria for the longest time, we should apply to Austria according to the regulations.

In Chengdu, the Austrian Consulate does not accept materials submitted directly by applicants. It can only go through the visa center through the following website:

/chinese/

The materials required to apply for a visa must be online according to the above The requirements are prepared, so I won’t go into details here. The materials submitted cannot be less or more. For example, as long as you earn three months of income in the bank, you don't need to pay for six months, and you don't need to pay. No proof of funds or real estate certificate is required. But there are a few points to note:

1. Schengen visa review is strict, so don’t miss the required materials. For example, no matter how much the hotel reservation is, it must be printed out, it cannot be less than one day, and it must completely comply with the itinerary you submitted. When I submitted the materials at the visa center, the staff carefully checked each day's hotel reservation and itinerary, taking notes with a pen as they read, and then calculated whether the number of days and round-trip air tickets matched. So don't take any chances, prepare the materials as required, and be impeccable.

2. The items in the application form for entering the Schengen country for the first time should take transportation factors into consideration. We flew to Prague, so I filled out Czech *** and Country. The staff said I made a mistake because we were connecting flights in Amsterdam and should fill in the Netherlands.

3. The insurance required by the visa must cover at least one more day. Our air tickets left Vienna on July 6th to return home, so I didn’t buy the insurance until July 6th. As a result, the staff at the visa center said no, and they would have to buy it on July 7th. I asked them why they didn't express it online. Sorry, I'll buy it again. Fortunately, I installed the insurance platform APP on my mobile phone, bought a new insurance on the spot, and paid back the original one.

4. My bank account is from ICBC. The printed account does not display the attributes of each income. The staff asked me to explain in English which items are my regular income on a piece of A4 paper. Fortunately, I can write these two sentences in English. What should I do for those who don't understand English? So it's better to prepare it early. It is not necessary to write this explanation as there is a clear salary or pension program behind most bank operations.

5. Schengen visa takes a long time, 15 calendar days. Be sure to allow enough time for your trip.

Two. Currency

The currency used in the Czech Republic is the Czech crown, which cannot be purchased in domestic banks and can only be exchanged with other currencies such as euros locally or cashed at ATMs. Currently, some domestic banks’ UnionPay debit cards support global ATM cash withdrawals without fees. All ATMs we encountered in the Czech Republic accept UnionPay cards.

Germany and Austria use the euro, and major domestic banks can purchase foreign exchange.

It is not recommended to bring too much cash. The only places where you have to use cash are in the restrooms, a few parking lots (coins required) and tips. All others can be swiped by card. Therefore, the best way is to bring a UnionPay debit card and a VISA or MasterCard credit card, with or without cash. The local ATM is

This time, we did not take the circular route, but entered Prague in the Czech Republic and exited in Vienna, Austria. The main reason is that split tickets are cheaper than round-trip tickets and there is no need to return to the starting point.

Czech Republic-(Germany)-Austria general route map.

Four. Travel brochure

This time, we still use the travel brochure that we have summarized and improved after many self-driving trips abroad. Including itinerary, daily hotel, B&B, apartment address, phone number, etc. All attractions and accommodation points are given latitude and longitude coordinates. With it, you can navigate, contact the landlord, ask for directions, and even whether to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients according to this travel manual. It is very convenient to have a book in hand.

Travel brochure.

In the manual above, the pairs of numbers after the attractions are the latitude and longitude coordinates. Methods for inputting latitude and longitude coordinates in various electronic maps such as Google, sygic, maps.me, etc. I have already explained it in my past travel notes, so I won’t repeat it here. If necessary, you can leave a mark on the distant mountains through my official WeChat account.

verb (abbreviation of verb) scenic spot distribution map

The functions of the scenic spot distribution map: firstly, it is convenient to plan reasonable tour routes according to the map when reaching places with relatively concentrated scenic spots; secondly, Missing points can be avoided. So before every trip, I will make a scenic spot map in places where the scenic spots are concentrated.

Intransitive verb reserved

Since a detailed hotel reservation form must be provided when applying for a Schengen visa, all accommodations are booked for convenience and haste before submitting the visa application. com reservations, and initial reservations can be canceled free of charge. After being logged out, a lot of optimizations were done. Booking.com now has many apartments and even B&Bs, so we didn’t use Airbnb and other booking platforms this time. The benefit of being centralized on one platform is ease of management.

Seven. Public transportation

Just as the Czech Republic and the United States do not recognize the US license of Chinese drivers, we all used public transportation in the Czech Republic this time. In Austria and Germany, you rent a car and drive yourself. In addition, you return the car on the day you arrive in Vienna, and then mainly walk in Vienna with a small amount of bus transportation.

There are three types of public transportation in Prague: buses, trams, and subways. Tickets are universal, regardless of vehicle type, and are limited to time only. There are four types of tickets: 30 minutes (24 crowns), 90 minutes (32 crowns), 1 day (110 crowns), 3 days (310 crowns). You can buy tickets at self-service ticket machines in subway stations, self-service ticket machines on trams, and some convenience stores. You can use a credit card. There are no self-service ticket machines on the bus. You can buy it from the driver, but the fare is more expensive.

It is important to note that when the ticket is used for the first time, it must be inserted into the yellow ticket slot in the direction indicated by the arrow on the ticket when getting on the bus (bus or tram) or at the subway entrance. Only this ticket is considered a valid ticket; otherwise, it will be regarded as fare evasion during ticket inspection and a heavy fine will be imposed. After the time is stamped, as long as it is within the valid time, there is no limit on the number of rides and the type of vehicle (bus, tram, subway).

For convenience, you can buy several tickets at a time and use them one by one.

Tickets purchased at tram self-service ticket vending machines have been issued for a long time, so there is no need to go to the vending machine again. . Prague public transport fares.

30-minute bus ticket to Prague.

The situation in Vienna is that the convenience store mentioned above has been changed into a smoke shop, and the others are similar. Tickets are divided into single-day, double-day, 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day tickets, which are also common on buses, trams, and subways. The one-way fare is 2.4 euros, or 2.7 euros when purchased from the bus driver.

One-way ticket to Vienna.

As for long-distance transportation, the most convenient thing is to install a mobile APP "Omio"; you can book most trains and long-distance buses in Europe. But it has a certain handling fee, and the handling fee is non-refundable if you cancel the ticket. We The best method is to first use Google Maps to check the route, then find the bus company or official website of the train based on the route given by Google Maps, and book tickets directly on the official website

We took the train from Prague to Kutnaho. The Bone Church. The carriage was old, there were no fixed seats, and it was very crowded. We even stood in the narrow aisle for a long time. We took the FLiXBUS bus from Prague to Krumlov. From Mlov to Salzburg, Austria, we took the LeoExpress bus, which was very good, with fixed seats, air conditioning, wifi, water, and toilets.

Besides, it was very comfortable for a long distance. Buses are much cheaper than trains, and there are many companies and trains available, so it is recommended to take long-distance buses.

In addition, you do not need to print the QR code on your mobile phone when checking in. , let the staff scan it with a handheld device. There is only one QR code for buying multiple tickets at one time. As for the train, the ticket is not checked at all, but the electronic ticket must be kept for future reference.

8.

This is relatively simple. You can rent a car through a domestic agency platform, or you can rent a car directly from the official website. It is nothing more than comparing prices. After comparison, we rented a car through a domestic car rental agency.

Google Maps needs to be used online, but it contains a lot of information and is most suitable for urban use, including finding bus routes, walking navigation, finding attractions, supermarkets, shops, etc. It is better to use professional navigation. The offline navigation software Sygic does not require a mobile phone signal, and it does not affect navigation even in signal blind areas. Based on the experience of driving abroad many times, I think these two world-class software complement each other and are the best. Good partners. Others, such as maps.me, can be used as backups

X.Communication

Giffgaff is a virtual operator in the UK, but from what we use in the UK. Judging from the situation, it works well. It is easy to use and cheap, and it supports free calls. Therefore, I also bought a giffgaff mobile phone card this time and can recharge it myself. The reason is that it is almost impossible to receive a card in China (see my travel guide "British Travel (02) - Homework"), so I bought it on Xbao.

This text is called "Strategy". It is slightly different from my previous texts, such as "Homework" and "Grain and Grass First". It not only describes the preparation work, but also contains a lot of content that we have actually experienced, which can be used by subsequent learners.

4. Roadmap to Europe at the end of June

I can clearly tell you that a monthly salary of 6,000 euros is high, both after tax and before tax. But a specific analysis, if your pre-tax income is 6,000 euros, if you are single, it will be 3,600 euros after tax. In Germany, it's higher than 80%. If you are single, with 6,000 euros after tax, you will definitely get a high salary. You are taller than 95% of people.

5. Super detailed European travel guide

Currently there are only two passenger trains from China to Europe, both from Beijing Station to Moscow.

The K3 train is an international express train of China Railway, running between Beijing, China, via Ulaanbaatar and Moscow, Russia.

Started on June 4, 1959, the Beijing Passenger Section International Intermodal Train of the Beijing Railway Bureau is now responsible for passenger transportation. The train uses Type 18 and Type 19 passenger cars made in Germany and traverses the Eurasian continent, crossing the Beijing-Baotou Railway, Hebei Railway, Mongolian Railway, and Siberian Railway, passing through China, Mongolia, and Russia, with a total length of 7,692 kilometers. This is the longest passenger bus in China. It departs from Beijing Station every Wednesday and runs for 127 hours and 36 minutes, arriving at Moscow Yaroslavsky Station on Monday. The train numbers used are K3 (domestic) and 003 (Russia and Mongolia).

The K23 train is China’s first pair of international intermodal trains and is responsible for passenger transportation on Russian Railways. From Beijing to Manzhouli to Moscow. The train runs along the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, Jinshan Railway, Kailash Railway, Beijing-Harbin Railway, Binzhou Railway, Mekter-Berg Railway, and Siberian Railway, with a total length of 8,981 kilometers, making it the longest international train in the world. It departs from Beijing Station every Saturday and runs for 142 hours and 58 minutes, arriving at Yaroslavl Station next Friday. The train number used is 019 (K19).

Google Navigation

After leaving the country, Baidu maps such as Amap can be used, but only Google Maps can be used abroad.

When traveling to other countries with a Portuguese S calling card, you must enable roaming, otherwise there will be no network. Also, the wifi starting with E in all Portuguese universities can be used in other countries, so no matter where you go, if there is a university next to you, you can connect. (Poor people can’t help but look at their poor traffic)

When traveling around Europe, it is most convenient to use Amap’s map to check subway lines and bus lines.

The most important thing is to find a partner who knows how to navigate, otherwise it will be easy to fall back or lose your way.

The most important thing is that he has food recommendations. You can directly search for the restaurant above and it will appear in nearby restaurants. Then below is his evaluation. You can eat after reading the reviews.

Flight tickets

Ruian official website

Sky trip

From Portugal to other countries, the distance between European countries is actually not long.

So I recommend flying Ryanair if it is actually a short distance. Last time, our flight from Portugal to Germany was less than 20 euros, but today it took about 4 hours.

If you are a Portuguese student and you have an ESN student card when you first started school, you can click it to activate the registration, and then buy a ticket on Ryanair through the ESN official website. There are discounts and free checked baggage allowance. It’s great, isn’t it? Isn't it? Because Ryanair is a low-cost airline, there is usually no baggage allowance.

Skyscanner can help you find comparative prices for almost all air tickets on the official website. When paying, you will be redirected to the official website.

Bus*** bus tickets

To Europe

Flix bus

With these two software, you can buy Train and bus tickets in various European countries.

I recommend buying both train tickets and air tickets in advance, because unlike China, where train tickets and bus tickets have the same price, there is a big difference between buying in advance and buying on the day. It’s cheaper to buy early.

Be sure to arrive at the bus station early, otherwise it is easy to miss it accidentally.

Europeans have the habit of wearing seat belts, whether they are driving, co-piloting, or sitting in the back seat. Life is your own! let's let's tie it on.

A software equivalent to the domestic Meituan, it is good to see nearby food recommendations.

Booking products

Booking

This is the largest booking software abroad. There are evaluations of people living in various countries. You must read and evaluate each one before you book a room.

When making a reservation, be sure to choose a place with very convenient transportation, even if it is far away from the city center. Because their tickets in these European countries are general tickets and monthly passes, that is, you can take the subway and bus with one ticket.

Also, be sure to read your emails. Does the landlord have any special requirements? The last time I went to Germany, it was amazing to have a house to live in. We searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Idon’t find the boss in that building. Later, we checked through the mail and found that the landlord had left the key card in a small box next to the door. Only by entering the four-digit password in the email can you open the small box, take out the door card, swipe the card to enter, and then go upstairs.

If you find something damaged in the room, you must tell the boss first, otherwise if he checks it, it may be our fault. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Because when a friend of mine went to France to play, the door was broken and the key couldn't be inserted. Finally the landlord said they broke the door. Then, everyone ended up paying an extra 25 euros which was a waste of money.

However, during our trip to Europe, not one of the hosts checked on the rooms and they all trusted us so much. When we told him the light in the room was broken, he offered to change our room. Of course we didn't accept it because we just wanted to talk about it and state that we didn't want to break it. Then the owner ended up giving us two drinks for free.
