Palace of Nations

The Palais des Nations, with its dignified architectural community and unique historical status, has become a must-check-in landscape in Geneva, Switzerland. The League of Nations was established in Geneva in 1920 after the First World War. It hosted the construction of the Palais des Nations in 1931-1938, as the headquarters of the League of Nations, also known as the League of Nations Building. After World War II, the Palais was owned by the United Nations in 1946, and then the location of the United Nations Office at Geneva, also known as the United Nations European headquarters. Visiting the Palais des Nations, two striking highlights are significant. The flag is fluttering. On the south side of the Palais des Nations, four rows of flag poles are divided in two and two, brushing from the gate to the building; the flags of more than 190 United Nations member states are suspended high, fluttering in the wind... The world is in harmony, festive and peaceful. Broken chairs are broken. The Palais des Nations, the sculpture "broken leg bench" stands, but wakes up to the world never forget the disaster brought by the mines in the war to innocent people. The back of the 12-meter-high chair is directly inserted into the sky; the legs of the three missing chairs are strung up...war trauma, humiliation and sorrow. The flag and the broken chair seemed to meditate: War and peace, the two drivers of human history, when will the development of pluralistic peace and globalization be ushered in?

The Alps are far away. Surrounded by green trees, the environment is beautiful. The Palais des Nations, also known as the League of Nations, is the headquarters of the predecessor of the United Nations, and is now the United Nations Office at Geneva.

The Palais des Nations, once the headquarters of the League of Nations, now the United Nations Office at Geneva. The flagpole on the large lawn is a symbol of peace and development that is in sight; the giant sculpture of the disabled chairs on the square proclaims that war and terror should go away~

The Palais des Nations was built in 1929, set as the headquarters of the League of Nations in 1938, and became the European headquarters of the United Nations since the 1950s. The Palais des Nations was in the Ariana Park bequeathed to the city of Geneva by the Revilliod de Rive family, and the gift was made on the condition that some peacocks be free to move in the park, which today becomes a landscape there. Visiting the Palais des Nations requires a tour and passport or other identity documents. Except for English and French tours, reservations are required in advance for other languages, and the visit is 1 hour.

万国宫，很值得一去，不过可惜我们没来得及预约当天的入场，要是提前一月多的话，可以免费预约进去。万国宫对面是断椅，很有特色，值得一去之地
