Lake Geneva, which shares the same name as the city, is very vast, with a sapphire-like color and sparkling in the sun. From Geneva Airport, you can take a train to Nyon, a small town on the shore of Lake Geneva. The hotel rooms there are large, and the lake view rooms also have terraces to enjoy the lake view. The breakfast is very rich and cost-effective. From the dock in Nyon, you can take a boat to the French flower town opposite and experience the fun of crossing two countries in half an hour. The price of the flower town is lower than that of Switzerland, and it is very pleasant to enjoy authentic French food there.
I have visited lake Geneva in the Summer and it is one of the nicest spots to hangout and enjoy Switzerland summer vibes. strolling along the flower-lined promenades is a must as it becomes magical during the sunset.

Taking the train from Geneva to Montreux, you will pass a small town called "Vevey" on the way. Because when I was making the strategy before, I had my eyes on the big fork here, so I had to come here to check in anyway.
Vevey is a small town in western Switzerland, between Lausanne and Montreux. There are vast vineyards around the town. It began to develop and prosper as a wine center in the Middle Ages. The world-famous Nestle company is headquartered here, and the company's iconic big fork stands on the shore of Lake Geneva in Vevey.
So after getting off the Vevey train station, I went straight to the big fork through Google Maps navigation. The town is very small, so it only takes about ten minutes to walk there. This is a quiet town. There are some locals walking on the lakeside trail, or sitting on chairs to chat about life and bask in the sun. It feels that this place is completely different from the high-paced life in Switzerland. Maybe this is an unpopular attraction. I almost don't see Chinese people here, but in order to rush to Montreux to see the castle, I hurried to the big fork to take a few check-in photos. Next to the big fork is the statue of Charlie Chaplin, the comedy master Charlie Chaplin lived here for 25 years and died here, so it is understandable to set up a statue here as a memorial, so I inevitably took a group photo to check in, after all, I'm here.
Take the train to Montreux again to see the Chillon Castle, which is built on a protruding rock by Lake Geneva, a bit like a peninsula. The most famous thing about this place is the poem "The Prisoner of Chillon" written by Byron. The famous poet and the famous poem made this castle a business card for Montreux. However, it is charged to visit the castle. Due to time constraints and our lack of interest in the various historical chapters in the castle, we took a few standard tourist photos by the lake and left happily after visiting here, after all, we still have to continue to Interlaken. Overall, the Chillon Castle is worth seeing, but not worth seeing in depth. I personally think that Interlaken is still the most essential place in Switzerland, so you can take a look at the footprints I left in Interlaken.
