It only takes three hours to drive from the northernmost tip of Switzerland to the southeastern corner, along the southern shore of Lake Constance, then turn south, passing through St. Gallen, Liechtenstein, Chur, and St. Moritz. The St. Gallen Cathedral, a world cultural heritage site, is the most elegant church I have ever visited in Europe.

The St. Gallen Abbey Library is a super exquisite and grand library! It is really shocking, exquisite and magnificent ~ It is worth a visit, the momentum is great! The transportation is also very convenient, and it is a popular spot to check in ~
The monastery library located in St. Gallen is generally considered a landmark of St. Gallen. The architecture is very distinctive, with a typical medieval European style. The interior roof decoration is quite gorgeous, and it feels more magnificent than the churches in Zurich. Unfortunately, I have no religious beliefs and no devout prayers.
