Kasteel De Haar

camlet

The prototype of Howl's Moving Castle is still very large. Because it is a castle that has been used all the time, it is still very modern and luxurious. There are explanation boards to use. There are actually live NPCs in each room. If you are interested enough, you can go up and chat to learn about the story of this castle.

Oudegracht

sculptor

The Oudegracht runs through the city center of the ancient Dutch city of Utrecht, starting in the southeast of the city. Here, the original main riverbed of the Rhine and a new main canal that reconnects Utrecht to the Rhine separate, and the old canal merges with the original moat of the fortified town, from where it enters the center of town.

Nijntje Museum

Akane-Japanese traveller

There are lots of cute exhibits! As Miffy is popular among Japanese people, many of the exhibits have Japanese translations. The place is perfect for families with children, as it is surrounded by a cute and warm atmosphere from start to finish. Tickets can be purchased at the souvenir shop opposite. There is also a one-of-a-kind Miffy traffic light a little distance away, so be sure to check it out!

Dom Tower

sculptor

The Domkerk, the Netherlands, has a 112-meter-high tower, the Gothic church that was once the largest in the Netherlands, but the nave of the church collapsed in a storm in 1674 and has not been rebuilt, separating the tower from the eastern end. The tower is now a symbol of the city.

Van Gogh Museum

M80***23

- The world's largest Van Gogh collection: located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, opened in 1973, with more than 200 Van Gogh oil paintings (accounting for his life), more than 500 sketches and 750 letters, including the peaks of Sunflower (1889 edition), Bedroom, Crow in the Rye, etc. Completely presents his transformation from early realism to late impressionism style. - Narrative exhibition design: sorting out Van Gogh's life according to the timeline, from the "Potato Eaters" in the Dutch countryside to the color transformation influenced by Impressionism in Paris, and then to the strong brush strokes in the Arles period, and finally ending with the manuscript of "Starry Night" in the San Remi Sanatorium. Combine the original letter with the original and the living supplies (such as the palette), restore the artist's spiritual world. Architecture and experience: dialogue between art and space - Modernist architectural landmarks: designed by architect Lille van de Houft, pure white geometric facade and glass atrium echo Van Gogh's paintings of light and shadow, spiral staircase and high-rise exhibition hall in the museum form a flowing viewing line, The top floor terrace overlooks the city view of Amsterdam, which is an extension of the art field itself. - Technology empowers immersion experience: In addition to the regular exhibition, the museum has a multimedia interactive screen, which can enlarge the painting details and analyze the brush stroke technique; The night special exhibition "Van Gogh immersive light and shadow show" uses projection technology to project "Sunflower" and other works to the wall, with classical music, so that the audience "enter" the scene in the painting.

Museum Speelklok/ Musical Clock

东张西望望东西

The Music Box Museum is definitely one of the most worth visiting in the area, with hundreds of years of music boxes showing a very large number, different shapes and very beautifully made

Amsterdam Canal Cruises

冰绿茶

There were a lot of people queuing at the boarding point at the central station, and the cruise ship was basically full. Everyone was given a headset on board, which was plugged into the headphone jack next to them. They said there would be Chinese explanations, and there were indeed Chinese explanations, but they didn't say a word in total. The cruise ship was on the water for a full hour.

The Railway Museum

For tourists who like railways, this is a particularly interesting place. Although it is not particularly large, it allows us to visit many old trains. For train fans, it is a place not to be missed.
