World famous cities (Huadu Paris, Fog City London, Lion City Singapore, etc. ,...)

This "flower" does not mean flowers, but a "romantic city". The buildings in this city are different, the streets are bustling, and the city is full of dazzling goods and beautiful gardens. Therefore, among the famous cities in various countries, it enjoys the reputation of "Huadu" in the world. The name "Huadu" is more appropriate, implying the diversity of the city. It is also a real flower. Of course, it is not an exaggeration to call it "Huadu". Whether on the dining table, on the balcony, in the courtyard, in front of the window, on the street or in people's arms, the eyes are full of blooming flowers, and the air is filled with intoxicating fragrance. There are also colorful flower shops and colorful parks, which make people linger.

London in the fog:

In London, people will associate the title of "Fog City" with it. Indeed, before the 1960s, London was called the foggy city. London is full of smoke and chaos. Although the street lamp is on, the visibility is still poor, and you can't see anything beyond 10 meter clearly. I always feel that my eyes are blurred in front of people. But now, it is basically difficult to see its thick smoke and yellow fog over London. Hundreds of extinct birds fly back to London, and many fish return to the Thames. The dust in the air has been greatly reduced, which has made London take off the hat of "foggy city", which should be attributed to the pollution control in the past 30 years. In London, coal-fired factories will be closed or moved out of the city as far as possible, urban residents will stop burning coal, and all cars will use unleaded gasoline. It has reduced automobile exhaust emissions by more than 75% and fundamentally "driven away" pollution sources. The environmental law enacted by the British government ensures the implementation of environmental policies and specific measures. In London, littering in public places is regarded as a crime and a high fine is imposed. Smoking is strictly prohibited in public places, and offenders will be fined up to 1000. In recent years, more parks and green spaces have been established in London, so that there is no exposed soil in the urban area, and more than 10 satellite cities have been established in the suburbs, greatly reducing the congestion in the urban area. Nowadays, in London, city parks are dotted with lush trees and green grass. Basically bid farewell to the image of "Fog City" and become a clean city. However, there was smog in London last winter, indicating that pollution source remediation cannot be relaxed for a moment, and it is necessary to make unremitting efforts.

As early as the Middle Ages, the problem of soot polluting the atmosphere began to appear in London. At that time, the British Parliament also issued a decree prohibiting craftsmen from using coal during the parliamentary session. After the industrial revolution supported by coal began, because most factories were built in cities, residents burned a lot of coal to keep warm, and the smoke and dust emissions increased sharply. In the windless season, smoke and fog turn yellow and black, often hovering over the city for many days, forming the London fog described by Mr. Lao She, who once lived in London, as "black, muddy yellow, crimson, spicy and choking".

Venice, a water city:

For Italy, Venice is a city not to be missed. Venice, known as a floating city by the world, is a bright pearl in the Mediterranean. In fact, Venice is a city composed of more than 100 small islands. An artificial causeway connects Italy with Venice. On the high-speed rail passing on the long embankment, you can see the swaying reflection of the city in the water in the distance. The charming style of the city in the water is presented before your eyes. In Venice, there are 1 1 vertical and horizontal rivers; * * * There are 408 bridges of different types and shapes. None of them are the same shape. In fact, this water city is connected by these hundreds of bridges. There are no modern buildings in the city, but scattered brick houses and wooden houses with different styles. There are no cars in the city, only pedestrian streets and squares. Various craft souvenir shops are arranged along the street. The criss-crossing rivers in the city are actually "expressways", replaced by means of transportation and, of course, various ships. The canal is full of ships with various purposes, such as tourist boats, ferries and taxis (similar to taxis), which are as convenient as cars in our land cities. If you want to experience the traffic characteristics of the city, you can take a wooden boat with a long tradition, which is called "gondola". The boatman's costume of this ship is the same, with a hat on his head and a red floating silk around his neck. While rowing, he sang Italian folk songs, and antique buildings passed by on both sides of the boat. On a summer night, a family or a young friend rented a boat, brought their own accordion, guitar and other musical instruments, and sang and talked. At this time, the fatigue of the day disappeared without a trace. In the song, the boat slowly moved forward, suddenly got into bridge opening, suddenly squeezed into the "alley" and sailed in the winding river. Beautiful songs are floating in the quiet night sky in summer, which is pleasant, and all human troubles are thrown out of the cloud nine. On various bridges passing by, tourists from foreign countries were attracted by the leisurely and unique taste of Italians, and lost no time in taking pictures of the leisure of Venetians. In fact, the most intoxicating thing about Venice is the beautiful night scene. Colorful lights reflected in the small buildings on both sides of the canal, colorful. The boats on the river and the lights on both sides make the Adriatic night more charming. Visitors will marvel at the painting skills of street artists in landscape sketch. A few simple strokes, waterscapes, streets and lanes jump out of the paper, and then sign names that no one can understand. A masterpiece worth 20,000 lira (about RMB 100 yuan) was completed. Repeatedly, until the dead of night, the streets are sparsely populated, the painter drags his tired body home, or takes a nap in the cafe. An old lady from France, walking alone in Venice, facing St. Kyle Square, sometimes staring into the distance. She said that she would come twice a year because there is no more beautiful city in the world. In Venice, there are two routes. First, get to the destination by boat. Second, walk along the connected small streets. For short-term foreign tourists, it is most convenient to take a boat. On the boat, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Grand Canal in Venice. But I like to choose the second way of walking, so that I can have time to visit Venice's unique attractions and appreciate its infinite charm. During the slow walk, many other ancient scenic spots will arouse your infinite leisure. Amsterdam in the Netherlands is also called the city of water, but I don't feel as good about it as Venice. Maybe I have lived there for a long time and my feelings have moved in. Italians are informal and hospitable, leaving a very good impression on tourists. Their behavior is in sharp contrast with that of the English who are orthodox gentlemen, so more people are willing to travel to Italy. When you first arrive at the Acropolis, you should know what to do. A kind old gentleman will take the initiative to be a tour guide and accompany you around most of the city. If you get lost on the path at twelve o'clock at night, the Italian girl on foot will take you to the place you want to go. These actions will make you so moved that you don't know how to thank you. You can only express my gratitude in the Italian "Grazai" I just learned.

Symmetrical ancient capital Beijing:

It takes the Forbidden City as the center, and forms a central axis from Yongdingmen, Qianmen, Tiananmen, Wumen, Shenwumen and Jingshan to Di 'anmen, Bell Tower, Drum Tower and Andingmen. North-south parallel streets such as Dongsi and Xisi are criss-crossed by the same east-west alley, which is located on both sides of the central axis. Because of symmetry, the roads in Beijing are also easy to identify. Many important buildings symbolizing the imperial power in feudal times are also neatly and symmetrically distributed around the central axis. For example, the Temple of Heaven and Ditan, which were worshipped by emperors in Ming and Qing Dynasties, were built on the east side of the north and south ends of the central axis. On the east side of Tiananmen Square, there is the Royal Temple (now converted into the Working People's Cultural Palace), and on the west side, there is a social altar dedicated to gods and ancestors (now approved as Zhongshan Park). This symmetrical pattern rises and falls in the palace buildings of the Forbidden City, corresponding to each other. Even the stone fences on the roadside, the turrets on the edge of the city and the sculptures on the roof are in pairs, which set each other off and become interesting. Neat symmetry constitutes the unique style and majestic momentum of Beijing's urban architecture, giving people a heavy, broad and dignified feeling.

Beijing is a symmetrical ancient capital, worthy of the name.
