Sintra Mountain is in the north of the city, and Tagus River flows into the sea from the south of the city, with a wide mouth and overlooking Wang Yang.

Lisbon

Lisbon extends along ru river, and there is the Sa lazare Bridge on the river, with a length of 30 18m and a center span of10/3 m, which is the longest suspension bridge in Europe. The urban area is not big, so it is very suitable for walking. Liberty Avenue and Rossiu Square are the city center. The main historical sites are concentrated in the Alpha Horse area. Although the suburb of Belem is a little far from Lisbon, it does gather quite a few museums and historical sites, which is a must-see spot for a trip to Lisbon.

The glory of the Portuguese empire is also preserved here. From well-maintained museums and historical sites, we can remember the prosperity and luxury of the empire.

Restaurants in Lisbon are mainly concentrated in rossio Square and Baixia Pedestrian Street. Seafood is the main course, and there are all kinds of fish and shrimp. Restaurants usually post or hang price lists outside their doors to clarify the actual prices so that people can have their own choices.

The Portuguese say that people who have never seen Lisbon have never seen beautiful scenery. The best street in this beautiful city is located at the mouth of the Teigas River, and the Teigas River faces the Atlantic Ocean, forming an inland sea, which is called "Aohai". It is one of the most magnificent natural ports in the world and is famous for the great navigators setting sail here. When the sun sets on the hills on the north bank, Lisbon proudly displays her palaces, churches and old streets spanning seven hills. Although the old street is slowly fading, it still reminds people of the golden age of that year.

On the right side of the entrance, there is a steep staircase leading to the platform at the top of the barrier. There are six sentry boxes on the corner of the polygonal platform, and each sentry box has a observation window and a pepper box-shaped roof. In the center of the platform, there is a railing around the patio below.
