Happy Tycoon
Chapter 1007: **The first treasure spot of the treasur
Yang Jing owns a total of two top properties in Switzerland, one in Geneva, the westernmost, and the other in Zernez, the easternmost.
This top property in Geneva is located in Colony, a small town on the east side of Geneva. This is the gathering place for top luxury houses in the entire Geneva. With the mountains and the water behind, you can see the beautiful messed up Lake Geneva when you exit the door of the villa.
If this mansion in Geneva is to feel the charm of the city of Geneva and at the same time experience the hustle and bustle of this so-called international capital of peace, then the single villa in Zernez is purely for leisure and vacation. , A villa that feels the scenery of the paradise.
If Geneva is universally recognized as the capital of peace, and it is also known as the most livable city in Europe. Almost people all over the world have heard of the name of this city, then Zernez is an unknown town, even Many people in Switzerland probably don't know this place.
Zernez is located in a small valley where the Inn and Sperr rivers meet, right in the depths of the Alps, surrounded by mountains on three sides.
There are only two thousand people in the small town, which is very small, but it is a small town that European travel friends are very yearning for, because here, you can feel the breath of the real paradise.
At that time, Tomnitz bought a real estate for Yang Jing, and he also followed the introduction of a Swiss tycoon. Only then did he buy a villa in this small city, and he also came to live here for a while. This time, he heard that the boss and his wife were going to Europe for their honeymoon, so he strongly suggested that the boss and his wife should stay in this small town for a period of time. Yang Jing and Gege also accepted this kind suggestion.
Originally from Venice to Geneva in Switzerland, Yang Jing and the others could take the Italian-Swiss train line from Venice, passing through Vicenza, Verona, Brescia, Bergamo, and then turning northeast through the east bank of Lake Como, along The Ada Valley passes through Tirano, an important town between Switzerland and Italy, into Switzerland, and finally takes the Glacier Express from St. Moritz in southeastern Switzerland to Geneva. As a result, a railway tunnel on the east bank of Lake Como was under construction. This line is not rejected.
Since it’s impossible to go from east to west, just go from west to east. Everyone knows that to get the best view of the Alps, taking the Glacier Express is the best choice, but it doesn't matter how you go.
The Glacier Express does not depart from Geneva. It departs from Zermatt, a ski resort in southwestern Switzerland, and ends at St. Moritz, another ski resort in southeastern Switzerland.
This line of steep cliffs, clear mountain lakes and magnificent picturesque countryside across the Alps, passing 91 tunnels and 291 bridges, more than 300 kilometers of railway, but the train has to run for seven and a half hours, on average With a speed of only about 30 kilometers per hour, it is the slowest "fast train" in the world.
However, it is precisely because of the "slowness" of the Glacier Express that visitors can sit in a spacious and comfortable panoramic carriage to enjoy the forests, green spaces, mountain springs, glaciers and snow-capped mountains along the way, making this route the most famous in Europe and the world. Of a sightseeing route.
Yang Jing and the others arrived at the Cornavin railway station in Geneva at around four in the morning. This railway station is the fourth largest railway station in Europe. They will take the inter-provincial train that leaves for the Rhône-Alpes region at 4:50 in the morning, along the northern shore of Lake Geneva, passing through Nyon, Lausanne, Montreux, Martigny, Sion, and Phipps. , And change to a cogwheel train to Zermatt at Phipps, the whole journey will take about four hours.
After arriving in Zermatt, Yang Jing and the others did not rush to take the Glacier Express, but toured this small city.
If it weren't for the Matterhorn, this small village that was originally surrounded by the Alps would not be known to the world. But who made this small village less than ten kilometers away is the Matterhorn with the "symbol of the Alps" and the "king of European mountains"?
Although the Matterhorn on the border between Switzerland and Italy is not the highest mountain in the Alps, it is the most famous mountain in the entire Alps and even in Europe.
Even though Mont Blanc is the highest peak in the Alps, it is also the highest peak in Europe, but in terms of fame in Europe, Mont Blanc is even inferior to the Eiger and Jungfrau, let alone the Matterhorn.
The Matterhorn is the most beautiful mountain in the entire Alps and a symbol of Switzerland’s pride. With its sturdy posture, it points straight to the sky, especially its special triangular pyramid shape, which has become a representative of the Alps. , Whenever the sun shines at sunset, the snow-covered mountains reflect the golden light.
The Matterhorn is also the most difficult mountain in Europe to climb, and the last peak in the Alps to be successfully topped. It is precisely because of the extreme difficulty of this mountain that it attracts many climbers to conquer this mountain. As more and more mountaineering enthusiasts came here, they discovered that Zermatt, which was originally located at the foot of the mountain, turned out to be such a beautiful place.
It is not only beautiful, but also surrounded by many snow-capped mountains. In addition, Europeans not only like mountain climbing, but also ski, so well, Zermatt, the original small mountain village, has developed so quickly.
By now, Zermatt has been recognized as one of the top ski resorts in the world.
This is the world's top mountain sanctuary without car pollution. That's right, you can't see a petrol car in this small city known as the "Glacier City". All cars are powered by batteries. Therefore, it is almost the cleanest town in Europe.
This small city is the world's top ski resort and a mecca for mountaineering and trekking with mature routes. Millions of ski lovers come here every year. However, when Yang Jing and the others came, it was a bit wrong. At the end of October, the Alps hadn't snowed yet, so the ski resorts here were far from being as good as the winter ski resorts.
However, Yang Jing and the others can go directly to the Gonegrat viewing platform at an altitude of 3090 by a cogwheel train to admire the permafrost glaciers of the Alps.
Such cogwheel trains are very common in the Alps and are also a major feature of Switzerland. On another famous Swiss mountain Jungfrau, more than 50 kilometers away from Zermatt, there is also this kind of cogwheel train, which can take tourists to the glacier viewing platform at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters and admire the magnificent surrounding glaciers. .
In the evening, Yang Jing and his party lived in Zermatt. Early the next morning, they boarded the Glacier Express from Zermatt to St. Moritz.
The exterior of the glacier express car is red and white, and the locomotive is all red. The side of the locomotive is sprayed with white English letters. The two large lines above are "GlacierExpress", which translates to "Glacier Express". Then under the two lines of big letters is a line of smaller letters "z/Davos-Zermatt", which means "St. Moritz/Davos-Zermatt".
Because it is a sightseeing train, the windows of the carriages are very large, but the seats are also very comfortable.
Yang Jing and the others took a train that departed at 6 o'clock in the morning, and when they arrived in St. Moritz, it was just after 1 o'clock noon. But the scenery along the way was really good, whether it was Brig or Andermatt, it opened Yang Jing and the others. And after passing the Rhine Grand Canyon in Andermatt, everyone wants to get out of the car and take a tour.
The Rhine Grand Canyon, also known as the Swiss Grand Canyon, was formed 10 million years ago. At that time, a strange white rock with a volume of about 10 billion cubic meters fell here. Since then, the Rhine River has passed through the rocks slowly and circuitously. After that, it formed the largest river in Western Europe.
Not far from the Rhine Gorge, Chur, the capital of the Swiss state of Grauden, is located. The train continues from Chur, and when it reaches Filisur, the railway line is divided into two, going north to Davos and south to St. Moritz.
This small town located in the upper reaches of the Inn Valley in southeastern Switzerland is the most fascinating holiday destination in the world.
The long history and cultural precipitation make this city exude a luxurious and low-key charm. The pioneering spirit of the people of St. Moritz keeps the legend here. One hundred and fifty years ago, winter tourism was born here. Switzerland's first electric light, the first light rail tram, the first telephone in Graubünden, the first alpine golf tournament, the first Alpine energy-saving hotel, etc. all originated in St. Moritz. Nietzsche, Segantini and other masters have had an indissoluble bond with this city, which makes the cultural and artistic imprint of this city very distinctive.
St. Moritz also hosts various top-level competitions and activities throughout the year, adding an appeal to the natural scenery. Switzerland hosted two Winter Olympics in 1928 and 1948, both in St. Moritz.
In 1907, the city’s first exciting winter race was held on the frozen lake, which later evolved into today’s annual St. Moritz Ice Lake Race. The world's most famous and top snow polo tournament, the St. Moritz Snow Polo World Cup is also held here every January and February. This small town has also hosted five world alpine skiing championships.
In addition, various special events such as the British Classic Car Awards, Engadin Music Festival, St. Moritz Food Festival and other special events also add style and charm to this typical Swiss town~lightnovelpub.net~ Compared to the somewhat monotonous skiing and hiking in Zermatt, St. Moritz is undoubtedly more prosperous and lively. It's just that Yang Jing and the others are facing the same problem, that is, they are not at the right time. The best time for this famous city of ice and snow is in January and February each year when Yang Jing and the others come a little earlier.
But the scenery here is still very beautiful. Yang Jing and his group have been touring this small city for two days, and then they took the small train directly north again, ready to go to Zernez to rest for two days.
However, when they arrived in Zernez on the second day, Yang Jing suddenly discovered from the map that one of the sixteen treasures that seemed to be obtained from the materials left by Martin Bowman was in one of the sixteen treasures. A small place at the junction of the three kingdoms of Switzerland and Italy not far from Zernez...
This inadvertent discovery made Yang Jing and the others moved. Several people in the secretarial team didn't know about the ** Treasure, but Morris knew it very well.
That's a treasure trove, and it's close at hand. If you don't stop by and take a look, wouldn't it be too unreasonable?
