Vienna.
Vienna, the capital of Austria, is located on the banks of the Danube River and is known as the "City of Music". It has a rich historical and cultural heritage and an important international status. In history, Vienna was the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, the Archduchy of Austria, the Austrian Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The ancient city in the city center is listed as a World Heritage Site.
Vienna's music culture is very famous. Many famous musicians, such as Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, and Johann Strauss, have left immortal works here. In addition, Vienna also has a rich tradition of art, drama, and literature. It is a city full of cultural atmosphere. Here, I visited the "Hofburg Palace" and the Vienna State Opera, and visited the equestrian statues of the two Austrian heroes Prince Eugen and Archduke Karl and the statue of Johann Strauss in the "Heroes' Square" and "City Park". , Have dinner in the "Schönbrunn Palace", and then enjoy a music concert.

The iconic walls of wonder in Vienna!
#travellerswonderland Standing at the Heldenplatz Gate near the Hofburg Palace, I was completely mesmerized by the iconic architecture surrounding me. The grandeur of the gate, with its intricate details and regal presence, left me with goosebumps. As I admired the elaborate facades and the historical significance of the area, the sight of horse-drawn carriages passing through felt like a step back in time. The carriages, moving gracefully beneath the majestic gate, added an extra layer of royal charm to the scene. It was as if I had been transported to an earlier era, where every detail exuded elegance and history. Watching the carriages, their horses trotting steadily, made me feel like I was witnessing a living piece of Vienna’s storied past. The combination of stunning architecture and the timeless presence of the carriages made this moment truly unforgettable.#myhiddengems

The Heroes Square was designed and constructed by the famous neo-Baroque sculptor Zolo Gyorgy of Hungary in the 19th century and architect Schiekdanz Albate. Spacious and solemn, majestic. On the right side of the square is the largest gallery in the country, and on the left is the art gallery. Entering the square, you can see two symmetrical curved stone pillar walls on each side. Each stone pillar is lined with statues of seven historical heroes. There are two statues of warriors driving the chariot above the stone wall. In the center of the square stands a 36-meter-tall Millennium Monument standing on top of the archangel of the archangel Gabriel. The angel who sympathizes with humanity and comforts mankind in the Bible, seems to have just descended from the sky. On the pedestal of the stone pillar, there are seven bronze statues of historical heroes riding horses. They are the seven leaders of the Hungarian nation when they settled here. The Heroes Square faces the straight Peoples Republic Street, behind the famous City Park, with Hungarian Art Museum and Hungarian Art Museum on either side. The square is paved with blue and white terrazzo, which is wide enough to accommodate 200,000 people. The main building on the square is composed of group sculptures with the Millennium Monument as the main body. There are no high-rise buildings around the square, so the Millennium Monument and the group of sculptures in the center of the square are very prominent.
