2018/11 - Amsterdam - Trip Summary - 阿姆斯特丹 - 攻略

阿姆斯特丹是非常的安静和优雅的小城市。依着运河而建的有点年头的民居,遍地的自行车,Delft Blue,感觉有和一些中国南方水乡有神似之处。艺术气息非常浓厚,非常高水平的几座博物馆不说,街头的art gallery的水平也非常之高。城市有点小而单一化,所以3-4天比较合适(主要花在博物馆上)。食物倒是非常一般。

2017/10 - Vienna/Munich/Zermatt - Trip Summary

2017年欧洲之行的简单的攻略总结。

  • 维也纳:古典、富有历史沉淀的欧洲。很有一种茨威格的小说里那种他所念念不忘的昨日贵族的气息。

  • 慕尼黑:新兴、现代化气息的欧洲。

  • Zermatt:自然风光片里的欧洲小镇,风景壮丽,但是说实话和去过的欧洲其他地方相比,瑞士(苏黎士和Zermatt)给我一种相对排外的精英主义的感觉。

2014 - United Kingdom - London

My only day in London was dedicated to the Tower of London. But luckily enough, I happened to run into the memorial event for WWI soldiers "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red".

My impression of London is very limited, but I generally fancy cities with rich history, and cities with a river running through it. London fits the profile on both.

I long for the day to meet you again. 

2014 - United Kingdom - Edinburgh, Scotland

I fell in love with Edinburgh on the very first sight when I stepped out of Edinburgh train station. It was dusk time, and the majestic castle was right in front of me, up there on the hills, staring down at me, at everyone in this city.

It was surreal. 

I woke up at 4am the next day and decided I couldn't wait any longer to get to know her. Wandering between narrow alleys and city streets with no specific destination in mind has always been my favorite game when traveling. The city quickly blended into my blood, or maybe the other way around. I cannot tell any more.

2014 - United Kingdom - Stirling Castle, Scotland

History, as to ordinary people, is their fates and destinies being overshadowed by heroes and villains, their joy and tears being buried behind legends and glories, their fleshes and minds being inked but quickly washed away by blood, death, and eventually, time.

Stirling Castle is one of the witnesses of those histories being made for Scotland.
