Lucerne, known as the most beautiful and ideal tourist city in Switzerland, is intoxicated in paradise on earth!

Lucerne, also translated as "Lucerne". But I prefer the translation of Lucerne, which feels more European. Lucerne looks like a Japanese place name, but I don't like it. Lucerne is the capital of Lucerne, located in central Switzerland, at the intersection of Lois estuary and Lake Lucerne, with a city population of nearly 80,000.

Lucerne is a famous historical and cultural city. As early as in Rome, it was just a fishing village with few people. Later, a lighthouse was built to guide the passing ships, hence the name "Lucerne", which means "light" in Latin. Lucerne is a very famous tourist city, and it is also the first choice for China tourism team to travel in Switzerland. You can see many China tour groups in front of capel Wooden Bridge and Lion Monument.

The view of Lake Lucerne. This is the transportation hub of Lucerne, where the railway station and marine terminal are located.

This is also the central area, the most beautiful place in Lucerne. The building with two minarets opposite is the Hoff Church, which is one of the symbols of Lucerne.

At the source of the Royce River, Lake Lucerne flows into the Royce River from here. This bridge is the first one on the Louis River.

Dozens of meters downstream of the Lois River mouth is an important symbol of Lucerne, the famous capel wooden bridge and octagonal water tower (water tower covered bridge). This is one of the tourist attractions that China tourism team must visit.

Capel Bridge, built in 1333, is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe. The bridge is about 200 meters long and has two small turns.

Another famous scenic spot in Lucerne, the Lion Monument. Generally called a dying lion or a sad lion. 182 1 carved on natural rocks by Danish sculptors. This statue commemorates the 786 Swiss mercenaries who died in Paris in August 1792.

Switzerland used to be a poor country and men were forced to be mercenaries in European countries. After this incident, Switzerland stopped exporting mercenaries, leaving only the guards who served the Catholic Church in the Vatican. It is also one of the must-see spots for China tourism team.

Continue along the Royce River, and you can walk to the old town of Lucerne and another famous scenic spot of Lucerne, the old wall of Museg.

Museg wall is different from the ancient city wall in China. The wall of China is like the Great Wall, which is very wide and can be guarded by garrisons. Museg wall, like many walls in Europe, is so narrow that people can't stand on it at all. It can only be regarded as a wall, but it is relatively high. However, several towers distributed on the city wall have different shapes and are very distinctive.

You can also see the distant scenery from the tower. This is the old town looking west from the bell tower.

Looking eastward, you can see the Hoff Church and the harbor of Lake Lucerne.
