Lake Lucerne is really nice. When the weather is good, you can see the snow-capped mountains. Unfortunately, we stayed there for three days, and the weather was good only when we arrived in the evening of the first day, so we didn't take advantage of it.
The buildings by the lake, the Ferris wheel, and the Flower Bridge Water Tower are simply too beautiful to take in. The boat ride to Weggis is even more beautiful.
Perfect travel itinerary, children have discounts, we remember to buy travel Passed, can have ️ half price discount! Sprinkler shop can help buy tickets ... take the car to buy cable car up the mountain to see the scenery, children also have many activities!

I feel that the scenery in Switzerland is very weather-dependent. When the weather is good, it is absolutely beautiful! When the weather is bad and the fog is heavy, you can't see anything clearly.
We went there on a rainy day. When we first arrived at the mountain, we could still see some scenery, but after a while, the fog came and we couldn't see anything.
There are many ways to go to Mount Rigi. You can take the volcano to the mountain train, or the boat to the mountain train. When going down the mountain, you can change the train to the cable car and then take the boat. If you come out from Lucerne, the transportation connection is good, and it takes two hours one way.
With a Swiss pass, you don't have to spend money on transportation throughout the whole journey.
By the way, there are stones transported from Mount Emei on Mount Rigi, you can check it out.
Amazing view from the top. A 360° view of the snowcapped mountains in the distance and lakes below. The view from the train up was also amazing with the view of the lake and mountain at a really steep angle. Get the ferry from Lucerne and you've got a spectacular view all the way. There's another older train from the top that goes on route b through the valley round the back but there's not much to see as it's mostly through the forest.

Lake Zurich (Zürichsee) is a serene gem in Switzerland, perfect for both relaxation and adventure. The crystal-clear waters reflect the surrounding Alps, creating postcard-worthy views. Visitors can enjoy leisurely boat rides, lakeside strolls, or cycling along the scenic promenade. Quaint cafés and parks dot the shoreline, offering spots to unwind and soak in the atmosphere. In summer, swimming and paddleboarding are popular, while winter brings a peaceful, reflective charm. Whether admiring the sunsets over the water or exploring nearby historic sites in Zürich, Lake Zurich offers a rejuvenating escape that beautifully blends natural beauty with urban convenience.
Zurich's first impression is that it is a modern metropolis with tall buildings in the city, but unlike cities in China, it is not as busy as other cities. Instead, you can see many people walking on the wide streets. The city is not big. If you walk along the main road, you can see a large lake, which is crystal clear and seems to be endless. There are many black swans and white swans playing by the lake. They are not afraid of people at all and will take the initiative to come forward to look for food, which is very interesting.
