Preface (introduction) to the collection of world customs

Serengeti Plains

For a long time, Africa has always been a distant and mysterious place in our minds. When talking about this land, the pictures that come to mind are quite complicated. There are shocking news and documentary photos of famine and war, there are African-themed cover photos that are particularly preferred by the American "National Geographic Magazine", and of course, "The Snow of Kilimanjaro" "The cheetah lying on the top of the mountain." This land cannot be fully displayed by one person, one book, or one movie, but no matter what angle you introduce the land of Africa, you can't escape the wild animals. Filtered ads

Some people say that there is a bond between wild animals and the mysterious land of the African continent that humans can never intervene. The Serengeti savannah between Tanzania and Kenya has verified this. kind of statement.

The Serengeti means "the ever-moving land" in the Maasai language. The name may come from the annual large-scale migration of animals living on this grassland. Every July and August, thousands of animal residents on the grassland migrate from the western part of the Serengeti grassland to the northern areas with abundant water and grass. In October, they move south to prepare for giving birth, and then return to the western grassland. This happens every year, no matter what bad weather and environment they encounter on the road, no matter how many natural enemies are waiting on the road to devour their young, their migration time and route are as accurate as clocks and as unchangeable as the rotation of the earth. The animals on this grassland have integrated their annual migration of thousands of miles into their instincts. Why do they migrate? Why do they always take the same route, and how do they pass on this knowledge of migration to the young in the group? Scientists are trying to understand the mystery, but if you are not a wildebeest, how can you know what migration means to them?

We don’t know anything, we can only watch and admire as an outsider. Entering the Serengeti grassland in a van with an openable roof, you will enter the world of bizarre wildlife. Elephants, buffalo, zebras, hippos, antelopes, and giraffes can be seen everywhere. If you are lucky, you may even see lions. , vulture or ostrich. As long as you calculate the time correctly and wait on the only way that animals migrate, you will be able to see endless groups of zebras and wildebeests galloping freely on the grasslands. As they ran, the dust they raised seemed like a veil covering the grassland under the sunlight. Perhaps such a spectacular migration scene should be described as majestic. The roaring in the ears and the horses in front of us are all displays of the power of life. This power is so magical that it can break through all obstacles. For a time, out of consideration for human development, the Tanzanian government set up barbed metal fences on the migration routes of animals to prevent them from migrating north. Humans attempted to intervene in the order of the Serengeti and blocked thousands of animals from making their thousand-mile journey. Of course, the result was that the migrating army unceremoniously leveled the fence and continued their thousand-mile journey. Nothing can stop them, they are the masters here. The flow of the Serengeti grassland will not stop for anyone. This is the nature of life. Here, you will find that the most beautiful moment of a horse is the moment when it is running freely without any rider, without any restraint. The charm of life is undoubtedly revealed in these animals that keep moving forward.

Perhaps the only humans who can somewhat intervene in the magical natural world of the Serengeti are the local indigenous Maasai people. However, they are also a strange tribe in the eyes of outsiders. They live in houses built with cow dung and wear distinctive Masai ethnic costumes. What is particularly surprising is that their auricles are covered with various ornaments. Even the nose is covered with ornaments. They are also a group of people we cannot understand.

We will not stop our exploration of the Serengeti, and the owners of the Serengeti will not stop their migration because of our interruption. The flow of the Serengeti is timeless.

When the rainy season begins, the animals go to the southeast to give birth, and then Return to the western part of the prairie. They follow the same route every year, over and over again, year after year.

Loire Valley - Garden of France

To fully appreciate the French style, you only need to go to two places, one is Paris and the other is the Loire Valley. If Paris, the gathering place of multiculturalism, represents the romantic and avant-garde side of France, then the Loire Valley is the quiet and classical back garden of France.

The beauty of Paris lies in the collision and contradiction of various cultural styles; while the beauty of the Loire Valley lies in its sweet and pure French style.

The Loire River is the largest river in France, and its most beautiful section is the middle valley. There are many exquisite hills on both sides of the river, and ancient castles are hidden among the green trees. Most of these castles were built in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The deep castle houses and moss-streaked moss add a sense of vicissitudes to this French garden. During the Hundred Years' War between England and France, the French royal family once fled to the Loire Valley for refuge. Therefore, the Loire Valley was also called the "Valley of the Kings." Many castles have left behind anecdotes and legends about the royal family, which makes the castles even more mysterious. stand up.

The most famous castle is Chenonceau. The left and right wings of the castle span the Cher River, a tributary of the Loire River, and are connected by a five-hole covered bridge in the middle. It is often known as " Boat moored on the Qar River". This is the most romantic of all the castles in the Loire Valley, and many couples choose to hold their weddings here. The architectural style of the castle is very luxurious and elegant in the Renaissance style. Many kings' concubines and ladies have lived here, so anecdotes related to the castle always have the shadow of love. The most famous "legend" is the jealousy between Henry II's concubine Diane and Princess Catherine. This elegant and ethereal castle was originally a gift from Henry II to his beloved concubine Diana. Later, Henry II died in a gun test competition and the harem was in chaos. As a result, Caterina gained power and drove Diana away. After careful care by the hostesses of the past generations, the furnishings of the castle fully reflect the luxury and elegance of the French royal family. Wandering in the castle and looking at the luxuriously furnished rooms, one can imagine the glitzy and luxurious days of the princes and nobles.

Chambore is another magical place in the Loire Valley. It was built by Francois I as a hunting palace for the French royal family. However, the original motive for building the castle was simply because Francois I fell in love with a girl who lived here. This is the largest of all the castles in the Loire Valley. There are 440 rooms, 84 staircases, and 365 chimneys in the castle. The most special thing in the castle is the double gangway. This kind of staircase has two sets of independent and interlaced railings. It is said that this design can avoid disputes between the queen and the king's mistress. The architectural style of Chateau de Chateau combines traditional French architectural art with the influence of the Italian Renaissance, and is regarded as a national treasure by the French. In 1981, Chateau de Chateau was included in the Heritage of the Century list.

Some magazines bluntly said that the French in the Loire region is the purest French, and were not afraid that this would arouse the so-called "biased" criticism. No wonder, Rabelais, the father of modern novels, was born here. Rabelais once said: "It was the French garden of the Loire Valley that gave birth to me and raised me." The Loire Valley not only gave birth to Rabelais, but also female writers George Sand, Proust, Balzac, Descartes, etc., Balzac's "Comedy Humane" was written here. Their lives and works are inseparable from the beauty of the river valley, and at the same time they add a touch of bookishness to the French Garden. It can be said that Loire wrote about them, or they wrote about Loire.

The most distinctive feature of the French Garden in the Loire Valley is the sunset view. Have you ever thought about sitting on a balcony overlooking the Loire on an early summer evening and watching the mysterious and quiet castle opposite and the vineyards in the distance become inexplicably colorful with the afterglow of the setting sun? It’s a complete picture. Works by Impressionist master Monet. A small stone causes the reflection of the castle in the water to ripple around with the waves. The air is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and plants in the valley, and you are holding a glass of white wine produced in the Loire Valley in your hand. Apart from the Loire Valley, where else in the world can you find such a purely French leisurely style?

Geographic overview: The Loire Valley is a plain basin located in central France and in the middle reaches of the Loire River, with an area of ??27,500 square miles. The Loire River is the longest river in France, with a total length of about 1020 kilometers and sandy banks. It enters the flood season every autumn.

Vatican City

I love St. Peter's Basilica, it is the most beautiful on earth Ornaments.

——Emerson

Most of us live a repetitive life every day, with the same work and no passion in life. There may come a day when everything suddenly changes. There may be thousands of reasons for the change, but one of them must be because you have been filtered by ads when you arrived at the Vatican.

Few people can resist the charm of the Vatican.

This is the smallest country in the world with an area of ??only 44 hectares and a total population of just over 1,000 people. However, it is the center of faith for more than 800 million Catholics around the world. Apart from its own glorious historical sites, there are too many artistic masterpieces displayed here, which is fascinating. God is drunk.

When you suddenly enter this treasure house of art, you will feel as if you have fallen into the time and space of the Middle Ages. Those who remain calm despite the collapse of mountains will inevitably lose their minds. Michelangelo, Raphael, Rodin, Kandinsky, Dali, Munch... these names that you can only look up to at ordinary times suddenly become a real existence in front of you, weaving a dense thread around you. Net, net your eyes and your heart. Rodin said that art is the joy that the soul feels when going deep into nature and discovering that it contains spirituality. The temperament of the Vatican is the result of countless baptisms and precipitation of art in the long river of history. Everyone can read the Vatican as a book, a textbook on the history of human civilization and art that transcends politics, interests, and money. Every piece of art here has washed away the scars of hundreds of years of ups and downs in the world, and washed away the hustle and bustle of worldly honor and disgrace. Walking through it is like experiencing a pure and beautiful pilgrimage.

When facing the art itself and tasting the historical emotions hidden in it, no matter who you are, your imagination will wander. The moment you climb onto the dome of St. Peter's Basilica and have a panoramic view of the Roman streets, it's like dropping a stone in the lake. The happiness and emotion that have been forgotten for a long time spread out like waves in your heart. For the first time, I am deeply proud of human beings as the spirit of all things.

Main attractions:

St. Peter's Square is known as the most symmetrical and magnificent square in the world. It was designed by the famous architect Bernini in the 17th century. A masterpiece that took 11 years to build. The square is oval in shape, 340 meters long and 240 meters wide. It is surrounded by semicircular marble colonnades on both sides. There are 284 columns and 88 square columns arranged in four rows to form three corridors. On the platform at the top of each stone column facing the square, there is a 3.2-meter-high marble saint statue. In the center of the square stands a 26-meter-high obelisk. On the tip of the stele is the shape of the cross that crucified Jesus. The stones used to build the stele were specially brought from Egypt that year. There is a beautiful fountain with splashing silver flowers on each side of the square.

St. Peter’s Basilica is located to the southwest of the square. It was once the largest church in the world. The whole building presents the structure of a cross, with a traditional and sacred shape. The church was first built in 324 AD and began to be remodeled in the 15th century. After many top architects and artists participated in the modification, it was completed in 1626. St. Peter's Church is not only magnificent in appearance, but also a treasure house of art.

Palau - Pacific Island

Palau is an archipelago country located 700 miles south of Guam in the western Pacific Ocean and is one of the Pacific's gateways to Southeast Asia.

Palau consists of major islands such as Babeldaob, Koror, Peleliu, and Angaur, some atolls in the north, and some atolls in the west. Made up of the Rock Islands. According to local legend, Palau was transformed from the body of a gluttonous boy called Uab.

He ate all the edible food, and the filtered ads caused famine in the town, so everyone decided to get rid of Uber. Everyone lit a fire around Uber. When the fire spread to Uber, he lay on the ground and struggled desperately. So his feet became the islands of Peleliu and Anchal, his legs became the islands of Coro, and his huge body became the Great Island. I wonder if this weird legend was originally thought up by the locals to scare children and warn them not to be too greedy. The only products on the island are coconuts, sugar cane, pineapples, sweet potatoes, etc. Food and daily necessities are all imported. From this point of view, the islanders' fear of hunger is not unreasonable.

Only 8 of the 340 volcanic and coral islands in Palau have permanent residents. The archipelago is distributed on the sea 640 kilometers long from north to south, and the country's coastline is 1,519 kilometers long. Most foreigners who come here come here to enjoy the tropical ocean scenery, swaying palm trees, gentle sea breeze, silver-white beaches, and underwater wonders. This is a famous diving destination.

If you yearn for truly pure sea water, then Palau is the paradise you are looking for. Palau's Rock Islands are one of the purest marine ecosystems in the Pacific, the last refuge from industrial pollution. Whether it's a sunny day or a warm and pleasant night, you can walk on the snow-white and delicate beach and feel the clearest and most transparent water in the world. The sea water here has a strange blue-green color, so pure and strange that people can't believe it or touch it, for fear that if they reach out, they will break the dream in front of them. In Palau, you will relearn what the sea is, what the land is, what light is, and what heat is. With the hot air and cool sea water, it is not difficult to forget yourself and the outside world here. God seemed to have created Palau just to show what a wonderful world he could create.

Historical and natural features:

It was inhabited 4,000 years ago. It was discovered by Spanish explorers in 1710. It was occupied by Spain in 1885 and sold to Germany by Spain in 1898. It was occupied by Japan during World War I and the United States during World War II. In 1947, the United Nations handed it over to the United States for trusteeship, and together with the Marshall Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia, it constituted the four political entities of the Pacific Island Trusteeship. In 1969, Palau began negotiations with the United States on its future political status. In August 1982, it signed the Treaty of Free Association with the United States. However, the treaty failed to pass in multiple referendums because it did not reach the required 75% majority. The eighth referendum was held in November 1993, and the treaty was finally successfully adopted. According to the treaty, Palau ended its trusteeship status on October 1, 1994 and became an independent sovereign state, but still maintained a special relationship with the United States. In December of the same year, Palau joined the United Nations.

Palau has a tropical maritime climate. It is summer all year round, with bright sunshine every day. Even in the rainy season from July to October, there are only afternoon thunderstorms at most.

The common language is English and the common currency is the US dollar.

Paris

Paris has always seemed to be a dream city. On the official website, she is called the "City of Light". Light has always been the incarnation of God in the minds of Westerners. Maybe Parisians think they are closer to God. No wonder Xu Zhimo once lamented that "those who have been to Paris will never miss paradise again." Some people also call her "Babylon", which is the name of Paris by the American writer Fitzgerald in the novel "Return to Babylon" - —A dream city of only luxury and pleasure. Perhaps no one can tell what kind of city Paris is, but everyone is sure that the days they spent in Paris will be the most unforgettable days in their lives. Filtered Ads What most tourists long for is an ancient and romantic Paris, that is, starting their trip along the perfect central axis of the Louvre - Champs Elysées - Place de la Concorde - Arc de Triomphe. Indeed, Paris is a city with a strong sense of history, and the places of interest here are enough to make people forget to leave. Coexisting with these classic monuments is another Paris, a Paris full of avant-garde and bohemian atmosphere.

As long as you take the Paris metro, you can clearly feel this. The Paris Metro has a long history. Some stations have deliberately retained their original features and look like an antique museum, while some stations are full of futuristic atmosphere, like a science fiction world, such as La Défence Metro Station. Walking onto the ground from this station, standing in front of you is the unique and exaggerated "New Arc de Triomphe" in the world. In fact, this is a building that can accommodate 5,000 people for offices. Its unique feature is the door that can fit the entire Notre Dame Cathedral into it. Interestingly, the new Arc de Triomphe is located on the central axis of the Louvre - Champs Elysées - Place de la Concorde - Arc de Triomphe. It is far away from the Arc de Triomphe with ulterior motives and has great ambitions to break the perfect harmony.

Such a "deviant" building is by no means the only one in Paris. If the Louvre represents France's ancient civilization, then the Pompidou Center is a symbol of modern Paris. This is the palace of avant-garde art, exhibiting various styles of Western art works since the 20th century. The design of the center itself is also an avant-garde architectural art that gives people a strong visual impact.

All the pillars, stairs, pipes and other things that were previously deliberately hidden have been placed outside. The whole building looks like a chemical factory building wrapped with colorful pipes and steel bars. Of course, this "monster" was criticized at first, but now it is at peace with other classical buildings in Paris.

Paris is perhaps the most popular city for foreigners. It has almost become the "Mecca" of literature and art. How many world-famous artists and writers have lived here? Let’s ask how many people have never been to Paris, that would be easier to calculate. After the mid-19th century, Paris became a city of exiles. There is a relaxed political atmosphere here, and there is a counter-cultural trend set off by students, literati, and artists, which is the so-called Bohemian culture, so people choose to wander in Paris. In the 1920s and 1930s, Paris gathered many American writers, including Hemingway and Fitzgerald. This group of young people's yearning for a better life was impacted by the First World War and they had nowhere to hide. They couldn't stand it and escaped. They needed an artistic atmosphere because they had to continue to make a living through creation, and at the same time they couldn't leave behind their senses and material things. To enjoy themselves, they needed coffee, women and wine, and a dance party, so they fled to Paris. Their only choice is Paris, and it seems that only Paris can accommodate this group of young people who are sometimes sober and sometimes drunk. They were just passing through Paris, but they left deep traces in the city where they stayed. They used their pens to make the moments in Paris eternal, and they also left a part of their lives in Paris forever. Walking along the Seine River and sitting in a roadside cafe, a stranger may be able to experience a certain sense of melancholy and wandering in Paris. The "lost generation" of the last century left too much wandering and sentimental atmosphere here, which still lingers today. When walking in Paris, you never know what will stay in your memory longer, whether it is the Arc de Triomphe or a cup of coffee in an outdoor cafe one afternoon.

“Paris is not just a place, it has become a state of mind.” No matter who you are, you can experience this city that is both nostalgic and avant-garde, quiet and noisy, international and local. Cities find the dose of spiritual antidote they need. In this sense, Paris is the most suitable place for foreigners to stay. You can go to the Louvre to admire the Mona Lisa, or you can go to the Pompidou Center to see Picasso; you can go to the Paris Opera House, or you can go to the Moulin Rouge on the Champs Elysées; you can escape to Paris. Life, you can also come here to purely enjoy life.

In fact, Paris is everywhere in the world. Maybe you have never been to Paris, but you are likely to linger in a cafe called "Left Bank" in the city where you live; you don't have to go abroad to appreciate fashion products from Paris (or claimed to be from Paris). Feel the "spring" in Paris. But when are you going to go to the real Paris?

Location: Northern France, by the Seine River

Population: 2.1 million

Climate: Mild maritime climate

Worth visiting Attractions:

The Louvre: Originally a French royal palace, 50 kings and queens have lived here since it was built in 1190. Now the Louvre has become one of the largest museums in the world, housing 400,000 rare treasures from all over the world. It includes six exhibition halls and 198 exhibition halls. Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" is in the painting gallery, while the statue of Venus, the goddess of love, stands in the ancient Greek and ancient Roman art gallery.

The Arc de Triomphe: Echoing the Louvre, it was built by Napoleon in order to make people remember his glorious achievements. The top and inside of the arch are engraved with Bonaparte's victories in large and small battles, and the names of his 588 generals are also on the inner wall. Every year during major festivals or special celebrations, French people revel under the Arc de Triomphe. The Arc de Triomphe has become a symbol of France. Under the Arc de Triomphe is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which commemorates the soldiers who died in the two world wars. Every year on July 14th, France’s National Day, the French president comes here to lay a wreath.

Notre Dame de Paris: Notre Dame is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, with exquisite statues and reliefs everywhere. However, most people come to Notre Dame de Paris not to see the architecture, but to see the sunset on the Seine. By dusk, the number of people in the church gradually increased. It is said that in order to go to the top of the church tower to watch the sunset, you sometimes have to queue for an hour.

Eiffel Tower: The Eiffel Tower, which has now become a symbol of Paris and even France, was quite controversial when it was built. At that time, as many as 300 people from all walks of life signed a petition to protest, including the famous writer Left La and Dumas. However, as time went by, Parisians gradually accepted and fell in love with this steel "giant". I don’t know why many people chose to commit suicide here. By 1971, there were 370 people, and guardrails were installed on the top of the tower.

The Canadian Maritimes

If you happen to know the novelist Lucy Maud Montgomery and her famous novel "Anne of Green Gables", then You will definitely feel familiar with Prince Edward Island, because this is the hometown of the author and the heroine of the book, Anne.

"The carriage passed under the apple trees, and the continuous white flower arched canopy under the head gave out a refreshing fragrance. At the end of the canopy, there was a colorful sunset, and the purple twilight enveloped the earth..." Anne in the book is The first sight of the beautiful scenery was jaw-dropping. In fact, everyone's reaction was the same when they first arrived at Prince Edward Island.

In this overseas continent, there is a strong European style everywhere. A large number of blue, green and red reflect the main tone of Prince Edward Island, which is bright and soft. There are seagulls soaring between the blue sea and the sky, green forests are lush on the hillside, herds of cattle and sheep wander among the green fields, and the crimson streets hold up the green undulating farmland. Waves arose at the junction of the sea and the land. As the tide rose and fell, the pale red sandy beach rolled with white, light blue, sky blue, sapphire blue and even indigo lace, spreading out layer by layer into the depths of the ocean. The brown-red cliff stands on one side of the beach. The top of the cliff is covered with green grass, like a cocoa cake sprinkled with green powder.

“Anne’s Land” as the locals call it is located in the north-central part of the island. Many people, especially the Japanese, came all the way just to confirm the description in the book. This land is worthy of the persistence of book lovers. Today's Cavendish still looks like the simple "Avonlea" written by Montgomery in 1908, and the "Green Gable" still stands refreshingly on the hillside, with white walls and green roofs. Surrounded by gardens, lawns, barns, creeks and forests. Farm tools, carriages, and wooden chairs are scattered in the small courtyard. Anne's clothes, books, and handbags are placed in the room, as if the owner will come back at any time. Outside the window, sunflowers and roses smile in the wind. When you get here, put down your distracting thoughts, take a deep breath and relax to your heart's content. There is the fragrance of sunlight in the air.

Quietly, quietly, Prince Edward Island watches the sunrise and sunset every day, and the calmness and calmness alone are fascinating. The red earth outlines the charming scenery, the delicious seafood is always mouth-watering, the story of Red-haired Anne is still told, and the Victorian houses are always bright and bright. It seems ordinary, but there is infinite temptation in it. Maybe this is the characteristic of a delicate and beautiful woman.
