St. Mark was regarded as the patron god by the Venetians, and his mount was a lion. When Venice broke away from Byzantine control and became a city republic, the Senate decided that St. Mark was the new patron saint of the city to replace Theodore, so the city emblem of Venice was a huge lion holding the Gospel.

The Church of St. Mark is not only a church, it is a very excellent building, but also a treasure house for rich collections of artworks. It combines the architectural characteristics of the East and the West. It was originally a Byzantine building. In the 15th century, Gothic decorations, such as pointed arches, were added; in the 17th century, Renaissance decorations were added.

Such as railings, etc. From the appearance, its five domes are said to be from the Hagia Sophia Church in Istanbul, Turkey; the ornate decoration on the front is derived from the Byzantine style; and the structure of the entire church presents a Greek cross-shaped design, and the characteristics of these architectural styles are amazing. The five entrances on the front of the church and their ornate Roman arches are Land.

It was completed in the seventeenth century. Above the arch of the entrance are five mosaics describing the achievements of Saint Mark, namely, "Transported back to Saint Mark's body from Constantinople, "The body arrived in Venice", "The final judgment", "The mythical praise of Saint Mark's, "St. Mark's entry into the Church of Saint Mark', and other five designer themes, which are magnificent and dazzling.

The hot weather was that Yunluo and An Chuyu had no interest in traveling. Yunluo and Minyi, Flora simply went back to the homestay first, planning to take a break and come out in the evening. The rest was over 5 o'clock. Although it was late, the sunshine in Venice was still there. I guess I could sit on the boat and enjoy the sunset, and I was in a beautiful mood!

Since the boat heading to Colored Island disappeared after six o'clock, Yunluo and An Chuyun changed their plans and took a boat to Glass Island. When they sat on the boat, they really caught up with the sunset and drove past the main island of Venice. Yunluo and An Chuyun were on the vast sea! Glass Island is an island in Lake Venice, Italy.

It is nominally an island, but it is actually an archipelago. The island is connected by a bridge, forming the same island. The glass island is located about 1.6 kilometers north of Venice. It is famous for making colorful Murano glassware, especially brushed thermoplastics. In 1291, the Republic of Venice was worried that the fire of the glass factory would cause a fire in the city of Venice, which was full of wooden houses.

All glass factories in Venice were ordered to move to the Glass Island. From then on, it was laid to build a glass island and became the center of the colorful glass manufacturing industry. In the 14th century, the Glass Island began to export glass products, famous for its glass beads, glass mirrors and glass chandeliers. In the 15th century, the Glass Island also became a Venetian resort, and many palaces were built on the island.

The famous attractions on the island include the Church of Santa Maria and Sant'Donato, which is famous for the Byzantine mosaic pedestrians in the 12th century. It was already six o'clock when Yunluo and Anchu met, and the shops and museums were closed. It was a bit disappointing, and they could only look at the glass crafts in the windows. However, compared to the main island, there were fewer tourists and the atmosphere of local people could feel the living environment.

Although the buildings of Color Island are famous for their rich colors, the buildings of Glass Island are not inferior. There are few restaurants on Glass Island in the evening, and Yunluo and An Chuyu plan to go home. After seven o'clock here, there are fewer boats. Sitting on the boat, the breeze comes and the beautiful scenery is right in front of you. Back to the main island, I was too lazy to check the water bus route.

Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to walk back. You can also take a look at the surrounding scenery while walking. Venice City said it was big or small, and it wasn't small. It was like typing CSS. You didn't know if it could turn left or right before you could turn left or right. Fortunately, Yunluo and An Chuyu had a mobile phone map.

Passing by a restaurant, I filled my stomach and felt a different feeling at night. It was colorful. When I walked into the alley, there were foreigners standing near the restaurant, probably drunk. They all called their friends. On the way to the hotel, I passed a square where there were elderly rock bands singing, and there were many snacks around to sell.

The square was full of people, and they were cheering enthusiastically with the band. Yunluo and An Chuyu were listening to the song and met a group of Italian young men. They came to Yunluo and An Chuyu drunk. Before they could open their mouths, Yunluo guessed that they must have lost drinking and bets and were punished. As expected, a young man wearing glasses asked to hug Yunluo.

Yunluo didn't think about it and gave him a big hug. They also invited Yunluo and An Chuyu to drink. Yunluo refused, but he didn't saliva from others. But flora happily took the cup and drank one-third of the cup. Seeing this, Yunluo was not willing to be outdone. She grabbed the cup and drank it in a big gulp. It was so good!

I am really infected by the enthusiasm of the Italian people. If the residents of Florence moved Yunluo with sincerity, then the people in Venice were infected Yunluo with their passion. Under the colorful walls, people from all over the world broke the national restrictions and gathered in Venice to speak freely. That night, Yunluo was intoxicated by you!

Among the several Italian cities where Yunluo and An Chuyu traveled, Milan was the last stop. For five consecutive days, none of them was cloudy, but they were all sunny. It happened that Yunluo and An Chuyu lived in Milan was super great, and everyone was staying in the house and didn't want to come out. At almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Yunluo and An Chuyu finally came out slowly.

Because of the Expo that will be held at night, in Milan, Yunluo and Anchu have not had too much content, so they just want to see what its landmark looks like. Take the subway to Milan Cathedral Station, and as soon as they leave the station, typical Gothic buildings come into view. I have liked complex Gothic architecture since I was a child. The grandeur and complex feeling of this building deeply shocked Yunluo.

Especially the dazzling sun shines on the snow-white marble walls, and it feels like the whole church is glowing. Duo can be said to be a symbol of Milan. It was proposed by the Duke of giangaleazzovisnti to build for the rebirth of the Virgin Mary. It is the third largest cathedral in Europe after the Church of St. Peter in Rome and the Church of Seville in Spain.

Milan Cathedral is the largest Gothic church in the world. It is also the best Gothic church that can be seen in Italy. The church is 158 meters long and 93 meters wide. The highest point of the spire is 108.5 meters. The church covers an area of ​​about 12,000 square meters. The architectural style of the church is very unique, and the upper part is a Gothic spire.

The tallest spire is 108 meters high, with a 4.2-meter statue of Virgin Mary on the top, with gold plated on it. The lower half is a typical Baroque style, with sculptures from top to bottom, extremely complex and exquisite. It is a representative building of the Renaissance. There are 135 spires standing soaring into the sky at the top, and each spire faces the outside.

There are more than 3,400 statues that decorate the entire church. Among them are 96 monsters of various shapes, and the monsters at each corner are different. The entire building is decorated with exquisitely carved window grilles, with a total length of about half a mile (1 kilometer). Just now, I was shocked by the momentum of Duo, and the Arch of Emmanuele II next to him is not inferior.

He is known as one of the most beautiful commercial arcades in Europe. It was built from 1865 to 1977 and is covered with a steel-framed stained glass roof. The two crossed corridors are cross-shaped, 198 meters long from north to south and 105 meters long from east to west. The corridor was built to commemorate the founding father of Italy. Therefore, it was named after the first king of Italy.

It broke ground in March 1865. On that day, the Italian King Emmanuel II attended the groundbreaking ceremony, and the event was unprecedented. The architect Mengi carefully designed the corridor. The vast project took twelve years and was not completed until 1877. In 1943 during World War II, this famous building was air strikes in the war and suffered heavy losses.

After the war, the Milan government carried out serious repairs and it was not repaired until 1967. The brands in the corridor were too high-end, which made Yunluo and others unable to bear. After taking photos, they left quickly. As a fashion capital, Milan's streets launched by Duo are all lively shopping streets. Chinese students who must stay here must use shopping as a pastime every day.

It's so tempting. Due to time constraints, Yunluo and An Chuyu could only choose one of the shopping malls to visit. Adhering to the most unique purpose of just visiting, Yunluo and An Chuyu went to Eel private or fan Lano. This is a gathering place for trendy people. The display method in the store is full of design, and the things sold are also unique, the price is outrageously expensive.

I looked at the watch and it was almost seven o'clock, and the night ticket for the Expo was available at seven o'clock. Yunluo hurriedly got on the direct subway to the Expo. Epo, Yunluo and An Chu met! In 2010, Yunluo had a tiny hot summer for three consecutive days and visited the Expo Park in Sihai City. Five years later, Yunluo came to Milan. It was of great significance to visit the Expo again.

The Expo park covers an area of ​​less than Sihai City, and the organizers pay less attention to it. However, because the ticket prices are cheap and the traffic is much less, it still attracts Yunluo to go there. The theme of this Expo is "Feeding the Earth. Energy" (feeding the Pla, energyorlie), aiming to pay attention to global food security and sustainable development.

To deal with population growth and other issues, and to explore the relationship between earth resources and human diet. We recommend a World Expo post written by a Chinese volunteer working in Milan City Expo, which introduces in detail all aspects of the Milan Expo: leaving the subway station.

It does not mean that Yunluo and An Chuhui can directly enter the Expo Park when they go straight to the Expo Park, but they have to pass a long bridge. The buildings in the Expo Park are already visible in the distance. Yunluo and An Chuhui's hearts have already floated there. The benefits of nightclub tickets are cheap, but there is no need to queue up. The ticket purchase time is no more than five minutes, and you can pay the ticket fee of five euros per person and get it done!

Some venues in the Expo have experience projects and need to make an appointment in advance. Yunluo had a look at the flight simulator of the Italian Airlines Pavilion two months ago, and made an appointment for the five people who were with Yunluo and An Chuhui. Although two friends did not go in the end, they made Yunluo fulfill their promise. Because the five agreed time belonged to the three people who Yunluo and An Chuhui went there in a blink of an eye.

However, there is a little bit that Yunluo and An Chuyu underestimated this Expo. Although the park is relatively small, it took Yunluo a brisk walk from the entrance to the aviation hall to take fifteen minutes, which made Yunluo very tired. I heard that there is a free shuttle bus in the Expo Park, and comrades who are going to go can make good use of it.

Finally arrived at the Aviation Hall, took out the booking letter, and started to simulate the flight. During the flight, the host captain would lead Yunluo, who is the deputy captain, to operate the operation buttons on the flight simulator, as if a civil aviation flight was really carried out. After the flight, Yunluo also issued a flight medal. After leaving the Aviation Hall, the red spiral building next to it was the Vanke Hall of China.

The highlight of this World Expo is the Tree of Life, and there will be a music fountain at night. The clouds fall and turn to the Italian Pavilion next to the Tree of Life for a visit. It is said that this venue is the largest in the venue, but the content is a bit empty, which means that it will lead you to introduce all walks of life and various scenery in Italy. This room is very beautiful, but there are too many people, which affects the beauty.

Come to the top floor of the Italian Pavilion with no one, introduce various vegetation, and look at the Tree of Life from the Italian Pavilion. I originally wanted to go to the Japanese Pavilion, which is said to be a great show, but when I got there, I found it, I went into seclusion at 8 o'clock. It was so sad... The huge sign of the American Pavilion. The venue in this small country is quite dreamy. I don't know which hall it is. Yun Luo personally thinks the shape is more beautiful than the Tree of Life.

I heard that the German Pavilion is also worth seeing, but unfortunately the DJ outside the German Pavilion was closed and the performance attracted many people to come forward to dance. Later, Yunluo and Anchu met a South American Pavilion. Seeing that someone was dancing, they also joined in the fun. The Expo at night is really a big party. Another highlight of the Expo is food. I wanted to taste Italian specialty food.

However, the friends who were traveling with him didn't want to eat it, so Yunluo lost interest. Seeing that it was getting late, he bought an ice cream to satisfy his craving. The strange pasta man at the entrance of the restaurant was like this. Yunluo and An Chuyu ended their trip to the World Expo, because they had to catch the train the next morning, which also indicates that the trip to Milan came to an end.

There are so many regrets left in this city. Because I am greedy for cheapness, I bought nightclub tickets. But I can’t see the Chinese Pavilion, Japanese Pavilion, and German Pavilion that I want to see; because I am sleepy and lazy, I didn’t wander around the city of Milan, and I missed many instinctive experiences. Milan, waiting for the arrival of Yun Luo!

After nearly five hours, I arrived in Nice. It was noon, so I had a full meal first. After dinner, it happened to be the time for the hotel hekin. Yunluo and An Chuyu chose the hotel between the train station and the Ringmason Street, which greatly facilitated Yunluo and An Chuyu's trip. Because Ringmason Street is the center of Nice, the pedestrian street is the main shopping and dining area in Nice.

There are many shops, including Galeries Lafayette, Maga's private nsgale eslaayette, which is known as "Nice's most attractive shopping avenue". It is also very lively with the roads on both sides of the street. There is also a relatively famous Japanese supermarket here. The Japanese supermarket has a lot of things and is relatively cheap. If you plan to travel in a poor place, you can visit the school.

You can consider buying things here. Even if you don’t eat here, you can replenish some food and grass here. Next to the Japanese supermarket is the largest department store in Nietolie. There are many pharmacies on this street. There are many famous French cosmetics in the pharmacies, such as Vizi, Avén, and Skin Spring.

There is also the Cathedral of Our Lady (Liquenotredamedamedenie) and friends who like the church can take a look. At the north end of the street is Nice Central Railway Station. To the south, you can see the Plaza de Masina (plaemas). After passing Plaza de Masina (plaemas) you can see the coast of Nice.

That is, Angel Bay on the Costa Áña. After passing the Plaza de Masina, you can see the famous British stroll along the railway station. It is only one kilometer away from the Avenuejeanmedein to Plaza de Masina, saving money on buses.

After resting in the hotel, Yunluo and An Chu met a group of five people and set off and began to sweep the streets in a vast way. The first modern religious building-like rectangular column church in Nice was built after the reconstruction of the Cathedral of Nice (1864-1868). Inspired by Angers, the church used stained glass windows from the 19th century.

Two square-shaped towers with gorgeous rose patterns are embellished. There are many high street brands along the way. Yunluo and An Chuyu walked for an afternoon, and it was sunset in a blink of an eye. Yunluo and An Chuyu rushed to the fascinating Coast of Blue. Walk along Jean Mason Street and soon arrived at Masina Square.

This is named after the most outstanding citizen of Nice, Marshal Andre Masséna (1758-1817). It is the intersection of Jean Massen Street, the seaside, and the British Walking Avenue, which can be regarded as the city center of Nice. Lafayette is in the building of the arcade on the left of the picture above, due to time constraints.

Yunluo and An Chuyun didn't go to see it. After passing through the square, they arrived at Angel Bay immediately. Let's take a photo together! The beach, Yunluo and An Chuyun are here! They didn't bring their swimsuits, so they could only take a photo with the sea. The first photo also took a handsome guy, a normal friend, and a playful kid, super cute.

The beach in Nice is not sand, but stones, so when you step on it, it hurts like a mermaid, and even so, it did not stop Yun Luo's friends from playing in the water. Finally, they had reached a state of ignoring their clothes and sat directly into the sea. Seeing that the sun had set, because Yun Luo's proposal.
Chapter completed!
