    The Belfort is a medieval bell tower in the heart of Bruges, Belgium, located south of the Market Square. Construction began in 1240, with the main structure completed in stages between the 13th and 15th centuries. Standing 83 meters tall, the tower features a chime system of 47 bells that chime every 15 minutes. Historically, it was used to preserve municipal records and detect fires. During sieges, the bells masked the sound of artillery fire. Visitors can ascend to the summit via 366 narrow steps for panoramic views, with access limited to designated hours. The tower served as a filming location for the 2008 film "In Bruges."

    The Basilica of the Holy Blood is a Roman Catholic basilica located in Bruges, Belgium. Originally built in the 12th century as a chapel for the palace of the Counts of Flanders, it houses the Holy Blood Relics collected by Joseph of Arimathea, which were reportedly brought from the Holy Land by Henry of Alsace, Count of Flanders, on April 7, 1150. The basilica consists of two chapels: the lower chapel of St. Basil, a well-preserved Romanesque structure, and the upper chapel, remodeled in Gothic style in the 16th century and then in Neo-Gothic style in the 19th century. The chapel of St. Basil was built between 1134 and 1149, and the relics were brought from Asia Minor by Robert II, Count of Flanders. The basilica was elevated to a minor basilica in 1923.

    The Lake of Love in Belgium is very romantic. If you come here in spring, when the flowers are blooming, walking on this bridge will be very exciting. The colors of the houses here are also very good, which will make you feel better.

    Century Square in Belgium is a medieval square that is relatively well preserved in Europe. I personally think it is worth visiting, and visiting here can give you a sense of the life of the local people. It is still very good.
