A beautiful city is not necessarily built on a mountain, but it must be built on water. Paris has the Seine, London has the Thames, Jinling has the Yangtze River, and the ancient city has Vienna and the Danube. The Danube is the second longest river in Europe (after the Volga River). The water flowing through Vienna is slow, the banks are lush and the fishermen are in constant stream. Unfortunately, the Danube River flowing here is not "blue" but gray. I don't know why Strauss's waltz The Blue Danube has the word "blue". Maybe the river was "blue" then. But the Danube Canal is blue. The Danube Canal was built in Vienna for flood discharge, and it is sky-blue and blue. In summer, the Danube is decorated with white sails, and the store puts three or two artificial palm trees on the shore, pretending that this is a Caribbean beach.
Vienna depends not only on water, but also on mountains. The Alps, with an average elevation of 3000 meters, start from the gentle slope of the western suburbs of Vienna at this end of Austria. gentle slope
The green floor, rising higher and farther away, disappeared in the dense forest. There are many artificial bridges, ponds and sculptures at the beginning of the gentle slope. This tree is tall, but it is not tall.
This is not a virgin forest. Occasionally, one or two deer galloped by on the gentle slope.
The city of Vienna is divided into 23 districts. The rise of cities along the Alps is 19 area, which is also a high-grade residential area. All the old houses in Vienna are here.
Although the houses are not new, they all have stories and the surrounding scenery is good, so the house prices are not low. The monthly rent for two bedrooms and one living room is more than $65,438+0,000.
A "random" cone-shaped person.
There is a word Gemütlichkeit in German, which means "casual" or "carefree". It is specially used to describe the characteristics of Viennese who are not drunk or dreaming, but singing and dancing. The pace of life in Vienna is very slow, just the leisure of "knowing the destiny at sixty". Usually, people count holidays with their fingers. The wages of Viennese are not too high, but they usually don't cost too much. As early as Queen Maria's time, she established a good social welfare system for her subjects. Austrians don't worry about food and clothing, so leave some money for sightseeing. Vienna City is a school with a "Peach Blossom Garden for Farming".
There is no feeling that "Mo Daojun walked one step before he was old and traveled all over the castle peak".
city park
Stadt Park (Stadt Park) is a small area, located in the city center, and it is a must-see for tourists. The small statue of Strauss in the park is a sign for tourists to visit Vienna. The model of the statue is little Strauss wearing a tuxedo and playing the violin. The statue was originally white, but I don't know what the Viennese think, so the statue was changed to gold.
On a summer night, the stars are shining brightly. The band played one waltz after another in the city park. Two or three peacocks flew to the roof and were playing music.
Dance in the sound. Tourists from all walks of life come in an endless stream, drinking the wine made from local grapes and entering the illusory and ethereal world.
Universities in Vienna
There are many universities in Vienna, the most famous of which is the University of Vienna. Vienna University, founded in 1365, is one of the oldest universities in Europe.
This man is Rudolf, Archduke of Habsburg. 1348, King Charles IV of Germany imitated the University of Paris (the oldest university in Europe) and founded the University of Heidelberg. Duke Rudolph refused to accept it, and founded the University of Vienna in the model of Paris University to compete with King Charles IV.
Universities in Vienna are very different from those in the United States. American universities are mostly brand-new. Vienna University is one of the few famous universities in Europe.
The house is dilapidated. The reason for it is that what systems are different. There is no need to pay tuition in Austria, but the state subsidizes living expenses. Most students are slow to study, deliberately prolonging the beautiful and romantic time in college. 1967, there are also many students who didn't get a bachelor's degree.
Webster University is an American private university. Besides McDonald's and KFC, America's biggest export is culture, and beauty is the first export of culture.
China movies, music, novels, universities. Many big cities in the world have American-run universities (formerly yenching university in Beijing and St. John's University in Shanghai).
Learning). Americans come here to run schools not because of cultural aggression, but just to make money. Students are cash cows. In order to attract students, the school promises that students can go to St. Louis University in the United States after completing a certain number of credits in Vienna, and the school guarantees unimpeded visas. Another important source of students at Webster University is employees of the United Nations. Before the start of the new semester, the school will recruit students. Webster University allows employees to study, which is a great attraction.
What do celebrities know?
Austria is a rich country in the world and Europe, but compared with countries like Switzerland, it is a poor country among rich countries. cerebrum
Geographical location used to be full of talents. Vienna is full of outstanding people and celebrities. No city in the world has ever produced so many musicians.
Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss. Psychologist Freud is also a resident of Vienna.
A small flag is hung in front of the former residence of celebrities to guide the tourists. Small flags are hung everywhere in the center of Vienna. Hitler also sought development in this city when he was young, and lived in this city for nearly five years. Hitler later became a lean man who turned Gan Kun upside down, so there was no national flag in front of his former residence. Hitler's former residence is still there, that is, No.27 Melde Emanstras, 12. Hitler was down and out in Vienna, and more than 20 years later, he "returned to his hometown" as the head of the Third Reich. Vienna is crowded with people, and the streets welcome this Austrian wanderer. As can be seen from the news documentary, the streets are crowded with people like the sea and their arms are like forests (Nazi salute). "Long live! \ "\" Long live! " Cheers resounded through the sky. According to historians, in proportion to the population, there were more Nazis in Austria than in Germany during World War II. Today, in the street, what we see is a peaceful scene. It's hard to imagine a Viennese who loves music.
Crazy.
Beethoven path
Beethoven Trail is located in the suburb of Vienna, and there are few tourists nearby. Perhaps there are too many former residences of famous people in Vienna, and tourists don't have time to see them one by one. Beethoven's path was in the suburbs, so it was left out in the cold. Moreover, Beethoven was born in Germany and later moved to Vienna, which is only half of Austria.
The right place and people.
Mozart and Haydn, two out-and-out Austrians, both worked as Beethoven's teachers, and Beethoven did not disgrace his legacy. The pupil outdoes the master. Before Beethoven, all musicians, including Mozart and Haydn, were employed by the royal family or the church. Beethoven's works and performances fascinated the nobles in Vienna and helped them one after another. Starting from Beethoven, western musicians began to live by sponsorship.
Beethoven's former residence is a two-story building. The old residence in the courtyard is neither inhabited nor furnished, which has the feeling that "there was a yellow crane carrying saints to heaven in ancient times, but now there is a yellow crane".
The artistic conception of "building" Not far from it is the "Beethoven Trail", which is a very secluded path. Grass invades the path, trees are on both sides, and a narrow stream flows along the path. Through the cracks in the leaves, you can see a blue sky (there is almost no air pollution in Vienna, public transportation is very convenient, and all kinds of subways, trams and short-distance express trains are all over the suburbs; Taxis are more advanced than private cars, either Mercedes or BMW, and they are brand-new, and the harm of automobile exhaust is reduced to a very small amount.
In his later years, Beethoven often strolled along the country lanes in Vienna, walking from May when flowers were in full bloom to October when leaves were falling. November
Vienna has entered a long and cold winter, and residents are staying indoors. Otherwise, Le Sheng may have more masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. Beethoven's \ "
The Fifth Symphony, the Third Symphony and the Emperor's Concerto were all bred on country roads. Beethoven always took a small notebook with him and wrote it down as he walked. Beethoven must have walked many country roads, probably in memory of him. The Viennese deliberately chose a quiet alley and named it after him.
The winding path is secluded and the courtyard is deep.
Skyscrapers are American style, and it is also American style to be eager to make money, but "development" is by no means to build some tall buildings. Vienna has the strength to build skyscrapers, but it is by no means a good thing to change the living environment in a panic.
Viennese also worship the United States, and even Asians who are fluent in English are a little scared. But compared with most Asian countries, Viennese are still more confident. Viennese don't like tall buildings, so the modern "international city" (the branch of the United Nations in Vienna) can't be built in the city center, but is invited to the suburbs. Vienna is full of old streets paved with bricks and stones, with winding paths leading to a secluded place. Most residential buildings have deep courtyards, surrounded by low-rise buildings, in which flowers and plants are widely planted and trees are shaded. Vienna has only aristocratic deep houses, and there is no luxury house covering several hectares in the United States. Most of the buildings in Vienna have a history of several years, and the appearance is very old (the result of old maintenance), but the interior has been renovated, with elevators and modern toilets that only appeared in this century. Many new buildings in Vienna have no central heating water. Every water heater should not only burn hot water, but also heat it, so as to save energy and reduce air pollution.
Vienna is the first city for tourists to visit in Europe. The Viennese protected an ancient city very well, and tourists from all over the world poured in, earning much more money than building a few factories, and the financial resources were rolling in. However, this is probably not the result of the foresight and careful planning of the Viennese, but the "randomness" of the Viennese, and it is also "quiet and far away"!
