Chapter 243 I am alone
Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, these days of trips to Europe have opened their eyes. Especially in small countries, they have an infinite charm that makes people addicted to.
Each retains the most primitive flavor, and each city has a unique temperament, just like a beautiful woman with thin and fat rings, graceful and unique.
The next day, I bid farewell to Prague in the minor tune and went to the magnificent Hungary to live a life. Many people described Budapest as a rhapsody, with legendary descendants of the Huns, the Danube and the Tysa River, Liszt and the Hungarian Rhapsody, the poet Petofi, the Nobel Prize in Literature and Keltheis...
A city known as Paris in Eastern Europe, the Danube flows quietly through the city, dividing the city into two, Buda on the right bank and Pace on the left bank.
Only when I was truly immersed in the scene did I realize that the entire city is magnificent, from ancient Roman ruins to Renaissance buildings, it has a magnificent lineage like an epic.
In Europe, almost every ancient city has a central square closely related to history and people. Come to the Hero Square located in Pace. The square is dull, but the buildings next to it attract the attention of Johnson.
A spire is nearly 100 meters high and is ranked as the tallest building in Budapest along with the Capitol. It is the St. Estvan Cathedral. There is a clock tower built on each wing. The wall clock on the southern clock tower weighs nine tons, and it is known as the largest clock.
Because of the issue of faith, Johnson was rarely interested in the church, but he still couldn't help it. The moment he walked into the church, he was still deeply shocked. The decoration was very magnificent, with gold foil and religious murals embedded on the tall and magnificent dome. The light of the dome just shone on the statue of King St. Estwan on the central altar, and it felt extremely sacred.
The glass cover on the right is also enshrined in the mummified right hand of King St. Isterwan, who was the first king of Hungary and the church was named after him.
The style of the painting is very strange, as if it is suppressed by some evil force...
Until he saw the National Grand Theater, Johnson finally understood what the so-called European luxury Baroque style is?
The surroundings are like the Colosseum, with magnificent everywhere, and I wish every pillar was carved with various complex patterns. Oil paintings and sculptures of various religious meanings are simply museums.
Listening to the tour guide's explanation, facing the center of the stage, the location of the second floor's huge arch is the exclusive private room of Princess Sissi and Emperor Franz. Looking up, the beautiful arc of the circular arch and exquisite dome murals came into view. The towering dome has great visual tension, which makes people intoxicated.
This private room is undoubtedly the best view of the whole venue. From here, you can see the magnificent opera house and stage. Everything is gorgeous and vivid as if it is prepared for her alone. This is Emperor Franz's most selfless love for Princess Sissi.
Standing here, one cannot help but give birth to:
I feel like I favored you alone!
When I went out, I came to the most famous new york café next to me, known as the most beautiful café. It was built in the late 19th century. At that time, Hungary's economy was taking off. There were many new apartments and office buildings on one side of Pest, all of which opened cafés, which were gathering places for the middle class.
To this day, most of the once prosperous cafes have been redesigned, and there are only a handful of cafes that still retain the style of the last century. New york café is one of them.
I have to admit that this is the most pretentious cafe SC Johnson has ever seen!
The decoration is extremely gorgeous, and the luxury is comparable to the palace. The Italian Renaissance and Baroque eclectic style is divided into high and low areas, with marble columns, steps, railings and reliefs as decorations. The details are carefully crafted and exquisite.
Drinking coffee and listening to classical music makes people feel like they are in a palace, and the glorious atmosphere of the last century comes to their faces.
I suddenly remembered that guy Davis. Although I had only seen him once, the aristocratic temperament engraved in my bones is unforgettable.
If the old man sits here, savoring coffee gracefully and playing with walking sticks in his hands, he will kill a lot of fanatic fans in seconds!
Walking along the river to the bridge, standing on the bridge, watching the Danube River fluttering orange waves. At this time, Budapest is rendered with a layer of dreamy colors, which is extremely romantic. In terms of architectural style, Buda is undoubtedly ancient and full of a profound sense of culture.
A whistle sounded not far away, and the tram was slowly coming. The yellow appearance was very retro, and it looked like it was old. This kind of tram was rare, but in Budapest, this antique-grade tram is still a very high-usage vehicle.
From far to near, the rumbling sound and the shaking body seemed to return to its glorious era.
When I came to Europe, I realized that the church was powerful and was everywhere. The best location, the most awesome design, the most luxurious decoration, the most popular fame, and even the toughest official background...
For example, in the Mathian Church in front of you, all Hungarian royal weddings and the coronation ceremony of the new king must be held here. It is also the church crowned by Princess Sissi and Joseph I, and the royal check-in place.
In Gothic architecture, colorful tiles reflect brilliant luster in the sun, making the majestic church less cold and more approachable gentle.
The beautiful and exquisite murals, stained glass, and the gorgeous and atmospheric dome all show the wealth and lofty status of the church. Even the lighting is so unique, fully handmade and full of artistic sense. Although it has experienced more than 700 years of ups and downs, it is still thrillingly beautiful.
Walking through the altar and climbing up the spiral stairs, there are beautiful handrails on one side and various and beautiful hollow walls on the other. Through these hollow carvings, you can see the patterned walls inside, and you won’t even miss the walls!
Ascend to the top of the church, you can see the scenery of Budapest on both sides of the Danube River. The Danube River winds forward, and the houses on both sides are lined up and dense. At this time, the entire city is like a magnificent painting, stretching thousands of miles away, and the Fisherman's Fort near and the Chain Bridge in the distance becomes the most ink and colorful stroke.
It is indeed beautiful, especially under the floating clouds, the blue sky and white clouds float leisurely and freely. Against it, the Danube River is becoming more and more pure, and the red tiles on both sides are bright in color.
Various buildings are lined up, either domes, spires, bright colors, or simple and unpretentious...
Especially the Danube River, from a distance, it looks like a jade belt, stretching for thousands of miles, and the rippling waves shine brightly under the refraction of the sun.
At dusk, it is like a blue ribbon winding over the continent, which looks particularly gentle and beautiful under the soft light of the sunset. The afterglow shines on the Danube and surrounding buildings, adding a touch of poetry to the originally majestic and cold Gothic building complex, and the cold and hard lines also become softer under the sunset.
