Holland-a wonderful country

The Netherlands is located in the northwest of Europe and is the starting point of Eurasia. It borders Belgium in the south and Germany in the east, covering an area of more than 4. 1 10,000 square kilometers. It is one of the founding countries of the European Union and NATO. The capital is located in Amsterdam, but its central government, the king's residence, offices and all government agencies and foreign embassies are in The Hague.

Low level is the most striking feature of Dutch topography. A quarter of the country is less than one meter above sea level, and a quarter is below sea level. "Holland" is called Holland in Germanic language, that is, "lowland land". The lowest point in the country is near Rotterdam, 6.7 meters below sea level. Think about what it feels like. However, the height of the Dutch is the highest in the world, with an average height of1.8m for men and1.7m for women.

Holland dominated the world in the17th century and was known as the "sea coachman". The total number of its merchant ships exceeds the sum of all the merchant ships in Europe, mainly engaged in war and trade activities, and gathered huge funds to become the world hegemon.

Holland is poor in natural resources, but rich in natural gas and oil. Natural gas ranks fourth in the world after Russia, the United States and Canada.

Holland has the reputation of "the country of flowers", but tulip is the most famous and regarded as the national flower. However, the origin of tulips is not in Holland, but in Asia. A gardener of the Royal Garden in Vienna got it from the Austrian Ambassador to Turkey and took it to Holland. Soon tulips spread all over the country and were accepted and loved by the Dutch.

Holland is the kingdom of bicycles, and the streets and alleys are full of bicycles. People like to use bicycles as their first choice for travel. Occasionally, luxury cars pass by, and they are also worn-out old cars. The paint on the surface is sprayed by yourself, and the trunk is welded by itself when it is broken. This concept of environmental protection and health is worth learning.

"The rich live in thatched cottages in the countryside, ordinary people live in old brick houses in the suburbs, and the poor live in the city center." This is a video about the Dutchman, which is very interesting but intriguing!

Dutch people cherish sunny weather very much. As long as the weather is good, they will enjoy sunbathing outdoors. Because they have less than 70 sunny days all year round, and the rest are mostly rainy days. More interestingly, when it rains, the Dutch seldom open an umbrella, and occasionally they may meet a foreigner. They seem to enjoy the wind and rain.

Dutch people have a casual diet: they love herring, but the way to eat it is very simple, not fried or baked, but eaten raw with onions or some egg yolk salad dressing. They call this dish which is a mixture of carrots, potatoes and onions a national dish.

Dutch houses have a strange feature: the doors are small and the windows are big. It is said that the bigger the door, the more tax you pay. What about large furniture? We have to take the window. Isn't it wonderful!

To what extent do the Dutch like orange? Carrots are not orange at first, but black and purple. In order to contribute to the royal family, the Dutch artificially cultivated carrots into oranges, because the Dutch royal family named oranges.

Then why is their national flag not orange? In fact, the Dutch flag used to be orange, white and blue. The most credible statement is that in the17th century, it was replaced by red for easy identification in war and navigation.

The Dutch advocate science and technology, and there are many famous universities in China. Leiden University is one of the most prestigious universities in Europe and the first university in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It has trained Descartes, Huygens, Spinoza and many other outstanding talents who have influenced the process of human civilization, Lorenz, Einstein, Fermi and other 16 Nobel Prize winners, john quincy adams, Churchill, Mandela and other nine heads of state.

High-tech talents have naturally made many high-tech companies, such as Royal Dutch Shell, Philips Electronics, Unilever, Akzo Nobel, and Dutch International Group, which laid a solid foundation for the Netherlands to become a developed capitalist country.

Van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter in the19th century. His masterpieces include Starry Moon Night, Self-portrait Series and Sunflower Series. He was called "a bad karma man wandering between genius and madman" and shot himself in July 1890 at the age of 37.

However, what is even more regrettable in the Netherlands is football: Dutch football ranks among the best in the world, but it has always been shrouded in the tragic color of the uncrowned king, the runner-up of three World Cups. Cruyff, Van Basten, Gullit and Rijkaard were the representatives of the last century, and Robben, Sneijder, Kuyt, Van Persie and so on were the great names of this century. Although they are gifted, although they struggle hard on the football field, they still continue the title of runner-up again and again.

There are landscapes all over the Netherlands, with river networks criss-crossing urban and rural areas. On rest days, people like to take a boat and travel leisurely in every corner of urban and rural areas. It's better to have a drizzle than to walk around, just like walking in Venice, Italy. The pastoral scenery in Holland is intoxicating. In leisure time, you can go sightseeing by bike during the day and feel the tranquility and peace of the countryside at night. Here, you can abandon the legacy of urban luxury and enjoy the most natural local flavor.

Every year, a considerable number of China tourists go to the Netherlands to experience exotic customs. The total population of Chinese in the Netherlands is about 654.38+200,000, accounting for about 0.7% of the national total, and Chinese have become the fourth largest minority.

The Netherlands is open and tolerant to the outside world, and it is precisely because of this that it will have impressive achievements in front of the world!
