The lake view of Lugano is so breathtaking! Can’t wait to go back again!
Lake Lugano, with an area of 49 square kilometers, is long and narrow in the shape of an S. The middle of the lake is in Switzerland, and most of the two ends are in Italy.
The lake surrounds the old town of Lugano, like a piece of glass jade; the Lugano fountain nestles on the lakeside, and the 60-meter-high water column is covered with rainbows and soars into the sky; the wide lake surface is sparkling, large boats and small boats are cruising through the waves, and big geese and little ducks are playing happily...

Lugano, a charming town in southern Switzerland, is known as the "fairy tale city". Lugano, derived from the Italian word "Lucus", which means "dense forest", is the capital of Ticino, the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland.
The thousand-year-old town, built in the 6th century AD, speaks Italian, eats pasta, and has a full Italian atmosphere; the houses facing the lake and the mountains are lined up in lake blue, pink, tender green, and cream yellow... like a series of brightly colored Mediterranean style paintings; walking through the streets and alleys, stopping by the arcades, the elderly are leisurely reading newspapers, and the children are happily playing, and the soul is quiet and healed here.
The old town is very charming. Walking in the old streets is like going back to the old days. Walking by the lake and basking in the sun, and then going to the LV store to buy a bag, there are few people and the goods are in good condition. It is still very pleasant. I hope time can stop.
