    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.

    Take the train to Montreux and stroll along the shore of Lake Geneva. Beyond the water are the snow-capped mountains, stretching quietly. Chillon Castle is on a small stone island near the water. It is not big, but it takes you back to medieval Europe. It is worth a visit.

    We came to a place called Olympia. The surrounding area was full of Olympia-related content. The Archaeological Museum of Olympia was one of them. It was the first provincial archaeological museum in Greece and a relatively professional museum. It was built between 1883 and 1886. The museum was mainly composed of sculptures, which was in line with our understanding of Greece. There were bronze, marble, and various other sculptures. Unfortunately, due to the age or other reasons, most of them were incomplete. It was really a pity.

    The Olympic Park is also a very beautiful place. The whole park is very large and the environment is quite elegant. There are many exhibits in the park, and you can enjoy many Olympic sports here. The visit to the park is also quite unique.

    Lausanne Cathedral (Cathédrale de Lausanne) or the full name Notre-Dame Cathedral of Lausanne (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Lausanne) is a Protestant cathedral in the city of Lausanne, Switzerland. The cathedral was begun in the 12th century in 1170 and completed in 1235. Later, the cathedral was dedicated to the Virgin Mary by a proclamation of Pope Gregory X in 1275. It is also known as Notre-Dame Cathedral. Lausanne Cathedral was the largest cathedral in Switzerland at that time. It was built in the Gothic style. The entrance arch is beautifully carved. Inside, there are stained glass windows that can be reached by climbing 160 steps to the top of the cathedral.

    What moved me in Switzerland was not only the mountain scenery, but also this vineyard terrace. Departing from Chateau de Chillon in the direction of Geneva, you can either take a train or take a boat trip on Lake Raymond. This beautiful vineyard terrace is the most breathtaking scenery. The Lavaux grape terraces were first built in the 11th century and mainly produce high-quality wine. They were listed as a World Cultural Heritage in 2007.

    There are many yachts on the pier, which is also a place where you can taste local fish. The visit on the pier is also quite interesting. It is very comfortable to feel the sea breeze. There are many people going out to play here on weekends, which is also a nice scenery.

    The headquarters of the International Olympic Committee is leaning on the lake. From the door, the huge forest vegetation cover makes people feel that the environment here is very good. In fact, it is still a certain distance from the city of Lausanne. It is still a quiet effect. The area across the road near the lake can also be seen. Some statues reflect the sports spirit, there are often people running on the side of the statue. The atmosphere of life is very strong.
