旅の径:“Lugano, a charming town in southern Switzerland, is known as the "fairy tale city". Lugano, derived from the Italian word "Lucus", which means "dense forest", is the capital of Ticino, the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland.
The thousand-year-old town, built in the 6th century AD, speaks Italian, eats pasta, and has a full Italian atmosphere; the houses facing the lake and the mountains are lined up in lake blue, pink, tender green, and cream yellow... like a series of brightly colored Mediterranean style paintings; walking through the streets and alleys, stopping by the arcades, the elderly are leisurely reading newspapers, and the children are happily playing, and the soul is quiet and healed here.”

_TI***l5:“visited lake como in November 2023, I wouldn’t recommend going at that time of the year as we experienced a lot of rain, nonetheless it was still a beautiful place, with lots to do! We went to Bellagio and Varenna by ferry, which was super easy to use and both places were breathtaking”

luca zhu:“People who study design must go and see it. The landscape is designed according to the local conditions, and different landscapes, shrubs, or sculptures are matched according to the terrain. Whether it is neatly trimmed shrubs or classical sculptures, they add to the external landscape of this 12th-century villa.”

Show闲队长:“Milan Cathedral Square is the heart of the city. The Gothic cathedral is spectacular and the details are as exquisite as works of art! The surrounding area is very lively and suitable for taking photos and checking in, but it is a bit crowded with many tourists. The pigeons are not afraid of people, which adds a bit of fun. It is very convenient to go directly to the subway, but be careful of hawkers. The overall atmosphere is great, free and open, a must-see when you come to Milan!”
