Chapter 228 Water City Night

The minibuses drove on the highway for nearly three hours and began to decrease significantly.

The members of the Golden Autumn Group in the car also woke up from their sleep.

After a while, I heard the tour guide Ronaldo talking in the microphone:

"Dear friends, the Amsterdam we are looking forward to visiting is now here!"

"Ah--, you'll arrive in Amsterdam so soon? That's great!"

Many tourists on the car were happily looking out of the car while rubbing their eyes.

"Is this called fast? It's almost six o'clock!"

After hearing the cheers of a fellow traveler in front of me, Mengdu stretched out her watch to take a look and muttered to herself.

However, the tourists on the bus were excitedly watching the cityscape of Amsterdam, as if no one heard his muttering.

"Let's do this, today, the hotel we stayed in is in the city. In order to make full use of our time and to let everyone visit Amsterdam early, we will visit the central neighborhood of Amsterdam now. After the visit, we will eat in the Chinese restaurant and then go to the hotel we stayed in. Do you think it's good?"

"Okay, it's best to arrange this! Luo Xiao, just do what you said!"

Mr. Liu, the great man from Shandong, responded immediately.

"Yes, visit first, then eat, and stay in the hotel! That's it! I'm not hungry anyway."

Mengdu also responded loudly with Mr. Liu.

"Okay, then let's visit first. We also agree to visit first, then have a meal, and then stay in a hotel."

Many of the other tourists on the bus responded.

So, the tour guide Ronaldo talked to the driver in French.

After the driver nodded, the minibus continued to drive forward for less than five minutes before stopping in a parking lot full of vehicles.

After the members of the Golden Autumn Group got off the bus, the first thing that caught their eye was a river about thirty meters wide.

In the river's 'bed', clear water flows in windingly;

In the flowing river water, countless small boats can be seen shuttle and cruising silently.

The most amazing thing is that there are three-story and four-story small buildings on the water surface of this flowing river.

The number of buildings is so large that it is difficult to count.

These small buildings are just like what the tour guide Xiao Luo introduced in the car. The exterior walls are either decorated with red, yellow, blue, green, and old-fashioned, making all the buildings look simple and long-lasting, as cute as doll houses built by people.

Look at the streets on both sides of the river:

There are a few cars driving on the street, and the speed is neither too fast nor too slow;

On the sidewalk, there were pedestrians in groups of three or three, each walking their own paths and walking their own steps, and did not talk to each other; but they all seemed leisurely and contented.

At this time, the sky was dark, and it was the time when the lights of major buildings and landscapes in the city were on. Visitors saw that there were colorful lights such as red, yellow, purple, blue, and green on all directions in the south, south, west and north.

In a blink of an eye, the entire city has been decorated with colorful colors and dazzling brilliance!

Under the reflection of colorful lights, a huge water enters the city, people live on the water, people rely on each other, and the magnificent landscape of harmony between man and nature, jumps into people's eyes, like a huge oil painting drawn by heaven!

ah--

Magnificent Amsterdam!

Before the official visit, the members of the "Golden Autumn Group" were intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in front of them!

"Dear friends, our current location is the center of Amsterdam! Now, please follow me to visit the main attractions in the city."

After the tour guide, Ronaldo asked the members of the Golden Autumn Group to enjoy the beautiful night view of Amsterdam, he led everyone along a not-so-spacious street for about ten minutes, and then stood in front of a Goethe-style ancient building and introduced to everyone:

"Amsterdam is not only a world-famous port city, a trading city, and a famous city of European culture and art.

In this city, there were 40 museums. The most famous of them is the National Museum!

In the National Museum, the total number of various artworks collected is more than 10,000. Many of them are masterpieces of masters such as Rembrandt, Hals and Furmeer, who are famous all over the world.

In the Municipal Museum of Modern Art and the Van Gogh Gallery, it is mainly famous for its collection of Dutch art from the 17th century. For example, the famous Dutch painter Van Gogh completed two days before his death and was displayed in the Van Gogh Gallery.

It can be said that although this city has undergone thousands of years of historical changes, its original appearance in the Golden Age during its exhibition process is now basically preserved.

The city of Amsterdam itself can be called a museum that integrates living history and reality!

Today, we have witnessed the beautiful scenery of this city with our own eyes. Please see, the 'water city' scenery woven by the beautiful canal is now revealed to us!"

The tour guide Xiao Luo said, using his hands to unite the water and man, the sky and water blend together, and the colorful night view was pointed at. After everyone watched the beautiful night view of Amsterdam again, she pointed her finger at the ancient buildings vaguely visible in the city and continued to introduce to the members of the Golden Autumn Group:

"In those museums with tall buildings, the works of all famous Dutch painters are included, and can be watched by tourists from all over the world. In addition, there is also a palace of classical music in the city - the National Concert Hall. If you have the opportunity to watch the performances of the National Concert Hall, it is even more enjoyable..."

"Okay, Luo, it's completely dark now! The attractions you just introduced will not be visited tomorrow, right? While it's dark now, should we visit the one you mentioned, the red light district called Wa?"

Just as the tour guide Ronaldo explained the value of Amsterdam to everyone, Meng couldn't help but interrupt her introduction and put forward her long-awaited wish.

The tour guide Luo paused in surprise and did not immediately answer Mengdu’s request.

However, she seemed to be able to understand Mengdu’s mood at this moment, so she did not show any anger.

"Let's do this, I see, we can continue to listen to Xiao Luo's introduction while walking towards the red light area."

Perhaps in order to ease the atmosphere, the Shandong man Liu, General Manager Liu, made his own suggestions.

"Okay, let's do it like that. Please come with me."

Tour guide Xiao Luo smiled and nodded, agreeing with the suggestion of General Liu, the Shandong man.

While nodding to Mr. Liu, Ronaldo also nodded to Mengdu.

Then, the tour guide led the members of the tour group to Devalen, the location of the red light district in Amsterdam.

The tour guide Xiao Luo introduced to everyone as he walked:

"Amsterdam is the second largest port city in the Netherlands. It has the world's largest diamond processing center. Moreover, all the diamond processing plants and processing workshops here are open to the public.

They welcome tourists to purchase the authentic diamonds they just produced during the visit;

In addition, Heineken beer produced in Amsterdam is also a world-famous product;

There is another important export commodity in the Netherlands, that is, fresh ‘flowers’!

The Asmer ‘Flower’ Market in the southwest of Amsterdam is the largest ‘Flower’ market in the world. The ‘Flower’ there is directly sold to more than 100 countries around the world.

If you are interested in visiting the Van Gogh Museum, you will see ancient Dutch windmills, tulips everywhere, magical wooden shoes, leisurely "milk" cows, etc., which are the most common beautiful scenery in Van Gogh's works."

While speaking, the Golden Autumn Tuan had already passed through an old iron bridge mounted on the ancient canal.

Opposite the bridge, there is a street five or six meters wide.

This street is close to the river on the left and the old-style houses on the right.

When the members of the Golden Autumn Group came here, there were more than twenty men and women in ragged clothes under the walls of the old houses, looking very much like beggars.

The group of men and women either sat or lie on the corner of the wall, some were giving themselves injections, and some were smoking just-rolled cigarettes.

Whether it is the person who gives himself an injection or the person who is smoking cigarettes, they are all skinny and black in appearance, and they all look very scary.

"Friends, please pay attention! Those who are leaning against the wall are smoking marijuana and those who are injecting injecting morphine. They are all drug addicts on the street.

Please don't get close to them.

However, you don’t need to be nervous. As long as we walk over them openly and just pretend that nothing is seen, there will be no problem."

Tour guide Xiao Luo whispered to the members of the tour group.

According to the warning of the tour guide Xiao Luo, the members of the Golden Autumn Group followed Xiao Luo tightly and walked by the group of drug addicts tremblingly.

No one dared to speak out, let alone stop his hurried steps.
