The beautiful Zaanse Schans windmill village

One of the things that best represents the Netherlands is the windmill. Zaandam, located on the outskirts of Amsterdam, has been plagued by floods for many years due to geographical factors, so many windmills were built in the early days for drainage and other livelihood purposes. The local government established the ZaanseSchans Windmill Village in the north of Zaandam in order to preserve the cultural property here, mainly to preserve and display windmills and other related Dutch culture. ZaanseSchans Windmill Village is very large and the village is surrounded by windmills. Every windmill is different, some big and some small, all beautiful and grand. In addition to the windmill, the village has many different small shops selling traditional Dutch clogs, the production process on site as well as the tour staff to provide tour instructions. There are also cheese sales, the cheese factory sells many different cheeses, and offers tasting. The scenery of Windmill Village is beautiful and the place is very large, attracting many tourists to take pictures.
