Swiss lilliputian country

After "911",Americans went out cautiously, which affected the tourism boom in Europe. Dominique Voina, a Swiss tourist, has no choice but to find that his guests are much less in recent years than before. He visited China twenty years ago, and now he wants to bring more and more affluent China people to his hometown. Dominique Voina inherited a very famous park in Europe and America-"Miniature Switzerland" from his father, and people named it "Swiss Lilliput". The park built in 1957 is located in Lugano, southern Switzerland. It is reduced to a scale of 1: 25 and "copied" Switzerland, allowing visitors to enjoy all the scenery in Switzerland in one hour, which is also the first in Europe.

"Swiss Lilliput" is located in the Italian-speaking area of southern Switzerland, near the Swiss town of Lugano. The climate here is pleasant all year round, the sun is shining and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It is also the main traffic route between the north and the south of Switzerland. In expressway, the interstate highways and Swiss national railways are staggered and parallel, so visitors can easily take postal shuttle buses, buses and cruise ships from Lugano to the park.

Dominique Vuigner's family has lived in Valais, Switzerland for generations and made a living by farming. After World War II, the family economy was unsatisfactory. In order to survive and develop, their parents began to go south from Valais to Ticino, chose to settle on the beautiful Lugano Lake, and decided to engage in tourism.

The 1950s was the golden age of rapid development in Europe after World War II, and Ticino became the new favorite of tourism. A large number of Germans, French and even Americans came to this paradise for leisure and sightseeing. Dominique Vuigner's father, after careful consideration, finally chose to engage in the business of man-made scenic spots in Switzerland with picturesque natural scenery, and build a Swiss miniature park, so as to have a panoramic view of Switzerland's picturesque natural and human scenery.

The "Swiss Lilliput" was founded in 1957, covering an area of 3 mu, and all the scenery was made according to the ratio of 1: 25, reappearing an artificial Switzerland. There are more than 120 lifelike and beautifully made miniature models with Swiss style, such as Swiss houses, castles and cathedrals. There are 1550 different kinds of plants and 15000 kinds of exotic flowers and grasses planted in the park, and there are 3500m long railway lines and 18 kinds of model vehicles and boats shuttling between various miniature buildings. The most distinctive feature is a small colored train. Each carriage has only a space the size of a bench, and visitors can enjoy the whole park. Tourists bend over and sit in it and shuttle between scenic spots, which is really like a monster arrival in a fairy tale world.

In fact, since the opening of the park on June 6th, 1958, the tourists were not enthusiastic at first, but it soon ushered in a tourist climax brought by European tourists. It lasted until the end of the 1990s. At that time, European tourists declined, but overseas tourists increased, so they continued to maintain the popularity of "lilliputian country" and now receive at least 3 million tourists every year.
