First stop: Italy
Your Italian "guide" 丨 General Station Italian Department reporter Song Chengjie
Based in Rome since 2016, he is a vocal advocate of good things in Italy and a veteran victim of unreliable behavior. This article has a major contribution from his colleague, "Rome Ice Cream Shop Living Map" Xu Dandan.
Three must-see attractions
Colosseum
Built in 72-80 AD, the Colosseum is a symbol of ancient Roman civilization and is a masterpiece in the history of architecture, majestic, spectacular and bold. Today, every modern stadium is more or less branded with its design style. It was once the place where gladiators fought for their lives, and two thousand years later, it still stands there intact, quietly yearning for the tourists who come to pass by to tell the story of the vicissitudes of the sea.
Florence
As the prestigious European Capital of Culture, Florence gave birth to a vigorous Renaissance movement. Xu Zhimo's "Emerald Jade" is noble and cold, while florence in reality is more like a spirit that has fallen into the human world, flexible and soft, but without losing pyrotechnics.
Venice
It's the "warmest and most romantic place" in the world, with Gothic palaces and splendid mosaics of San Marco on the banks of the Grand Canal. As the sun sets, take a ride on the gondola to see the famous Rialto Bridge, and accidentally bump into strangers in the alleys of the waterway late at night, that moment is really ghostly and moving.
Three must-eat delicacies
Pasta
There are more than 300 forms of pasta depending on the shape, size, length and so on, including long noodles, beveled pipe noodles, butterfly noodles, etc., each place has its own unique cooking method. Recommend Bologna's meat sauce noodles, the sweetness and sourness of the tomato sauce wrapped in the plump minced meat, the taste is rich, the sense of happiness of the food is particularly strong; also recommend the Venetian cuttlefish noodles, black ink is completely taken from the natural ingredients of cuttlefish, fresh and chewy, but the first taste needs to be mentally prepared, full of black teeth is easy to scare your friends around you.
pizza
If you're used to the chain's thick-bottom pizzas, you're sure to try authentic thin-bottom pizzas in Italy. Neapolitan pizza is the flagship of Italian pizza, the pasta is crispy and crispy, coated with freshly picked tomato ingredients, sprinkled with mozzarella cheese and a moderate amount of sea salt and olive oil, the taste is simple and not fancy, you can feel the charm from the ingredients themselves. Of course, pizzas like Margherita, Pizza of All Seasons, Roman square pizza, Half Moon Pizza, and more are all great options for experiencing Italian pizza culture.
ice cream
Italy can be described as the "ancestor" of ice cream, and ice cream shops in all countries and regions will consciously or unconsciously lean on the word "Italian", which is enough to see Italy's authority in the field of ice cream production technology and innovation. The biggest feature of Italian ice cream is that the taste is pure and additive-free, the taste is dense and solid, the variety is dazzling, each small shop has its own exclusive taste, plus a spoonful of whipped cream, it is even more addictive. No matter whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, even the old lady on the street has one hand.
Must appreciate literary and artistic works
"A Beautiful Life"
It's a family film directed by Roberto Bernini, which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and uses black humor to depict the joys and sorrows of the Jewish Guido family in a Nazi concentration camp. The most touching thing is the optimistic and cheerful national character of the Italians shown in the film, even in the worst cases, always firmly believe that nightmares will wake up, and everyone deserves the most beautiful life.
Cinema Paradiso
Italian director Tornadore's masterpiece, which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, is full of nostalgia and autobiographical colors. The short hours condense the protagonist's thirty years of situation, from the childhood that cannot be returned and the hometown that can be returned, to the long exploration of growth, dreams, family affection and love by individuals, and people of every age can find their own figure from this Italian-style film. The excellent composition of the soundtrack master Enio Morricone has added a lot to the film, and many of the fragments are well-known in China.
Second stop: Russia
Your Russian "guide" 丨 Reporter of the Russian Department of the General Station Sun Juan
From 2014 to 2018, as the chief correspondent of the general station in Russia, Russia is the old friend who makes me both familiar and strange, always obsessed, always unable to read, sometimes enthusiastic, sometimes deep, always different.
Moscow Red Square
Kremlin complex
Red Square and the adjacent Kremlin complex are located in the center of Moscow, on the banks of the Moscow River, which is regarded as the heart of Russia, the political center, and has witnessed many important historical events. Red means beautiful in Russian, and the area of Red Square (91,000 square meters) is only about 1/5 of Tiananmen Square. The Red Square side is surrounded by the kremlin's eastern wall, near the famous Lenin's Tomb, and the other three directions are the Russian History Museum, the century-old State Department Store and the Vasilievsky Cathedral with its colorful onion roof, each of which is unique and impressive.
"Hermitage"
The "Winter Palace" is located on the palace square of St. Petersburg, originally the palace of the Tsar of the Russian Empire, and after the October Revolution it was opened as part of the Hermitage State Museum in St. Petersburg. It is an outstanding example of Russian neoclassical architecture in the mid-18th century, and the Hermitage Museum, together with the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is called the "Four Great Museums of the World". The museum was originally the private museum of Empress Catherine II of Russia.
"Summer Palace"
In the northwest corner of St. Petersburg, there is a gorgeous royal garden on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, which was once the palace of Tsar Peter I to cool off, people used to call it the summer palace, in fact, its name was Peter Palace, which was named after Peter I himself. Tourists from all over the world come here to see the beauty of the summer palace fountain, especially the Baroque gilded statue of the great waterfall fountain group distributed in front of the palace with the terrain, which is spectacular and is known as "the most beautiful fountain in the world".
Red cabbage soup
Red cabbage soup is a special dish that must be tasted when eating Russian food, the taste is delicious, the red cabbage is refreshing, the meat is not greasy, and it is accompanied by a spoonful of sour cream, and the aftertaste is endless. It is said that the Food of Russian astronauts in space also includes the famous red cabbage soup from their hometown, but it is made into toothpaste.
Russian pancakes with caviar
During the 2018 Russia Eastern Economic Forum, after the first day of talks, President Xi Jinping, at the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, personally made pancakes accompanied by black caviar and red caviar at the booth of the "Russian Seafood Market". It is very similar to the dough of the northern Chinese pancake fruit, and it is made in the same way, but it is mixed with some milk in the batter. Serve with a variety of fillings such as honey, salmon fillets, cheese, ham, and mashed potatoes. The most advanced way to eat it is to wrap caviar.
Olivier Salad
Olivier Salad, a must-have dish for New Year's festivals, and there is also a saying that a New Year without "Olivier Salad" is not called a New Year. Beef, potatoes, carrots, sour cucumbers, peas, boiled eggs with spices and spices can be ordered in russian restaurants large and small, with delicious Olivier salad.
Three must-see literary and artistic works
The Russian Ark
The long-shot shooting method throughout the film makes this film a miracle in the history of cinema, with a high degree of ornamentation and artistry. Filmed in st. Petersburg's Hermitage, the film travels through 36 palace rooms, employs nearly a thousand actors, and takes more than 90 minutes in one go, which is not only a visual feast, but also a journey through history and understanding Russian culture.
The Trick of Fate
It's a romantic comedy: on New Year's Eve in Moscow, Lukashen, drunk, mistakenly boards a plane to Leningrad, mistakenly hits a room with the same door number as Moscow and is exactly the same as his house, and then has a misunderstanding with the housewife Nadya, and finally falls in love. The film was first released on Soviet television on January 1, 1976, and has since become a "reserved program" across Chinese New Year's Eve.
War and Peace
Leo Tolstoy crossed the two lives and two threads of "war" and "peace" to form an encyclopedic epic. The Russian writer Turgenev once commented that War and Peace gives us a more direct and accurate understanding of the character and temperament of the Russian people, as well as the life of Russia as a whole, which is better than reading hundreds of ethnological and historical works.
Third stop: France
Your French "guide" 丨Fran channel reporter Wang Yue
I am Wang Yue, born in the ancient city of Kaifeng in the Central Plains, studied at the foot of Luojia Mountain and the shore of unnamed lake, had the honor of becoming a French-language media person for more than ten years, from 2010 to 2013, served as a reporter for CCTV in Paris, and participated in the French presidential election, the G20 summit, the evacuation of overseas Chinese in Libya and other reports. He is currently working in the French channel of the Central Radio and Television Corporation.
Eiffel Tower
Known as one of the landmarks of the city of Paris, the Eiffel Tower is an iron skeleton tower located in the Champ de Mars in Paris, France, and is also a cultural symbol of France. The tower was built to welcome the World's Fair and commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, and there is a love story behind it, the work of the architect Gustav Vuitton. Designed by Eiffel for his deceased wife Margaret, he said to her in the place closest to heaven: I love you. Isn't that romantic?
Louvre
The castle was built in 1204 and underwent several expansions and was converted into a museum after the French Revolution. Today, the Louvre Museum has a collection of up to 400,000 pieces, the exhibits span more than 1,500 years, ancient Greece, ancient Rome, ancient Egypt and other civilization treasures are beautifully presented here, which can be described as the mysterious Palace of Ten Thousand Treasures. The movies "The Phantom of the Louvre" and "The Da Vinci Code" were filmed here.
Notre Dame Cathedral
Erected on the Ile de la Cité on the banks of the Seine, notre dame is located in the heart of the entire city of Paris, and was built between about 1163 and 1250, experiencing the historical changes of Paris. This Gothic-style church is famous for its poetic depictions by the famous French writer Victor Hugo in his novel of the same name, Notre Dame de Paris. On April 15, 2019, local time, Notre Dame Cathedral unfortunately suffered a fire, the top spire collapsed, and the rose window has been burned. Since then, it has been closed for a long time and entered a long period of repair.
French stick
In France, the most common and popular bread stick is the one! The freshly baked baguette in the bakery smells of wheat, the outer skin is very hard, tough to bite, but the inner core is white and soft. Eating in restaurants is often accompanied by free bread, mostly baguettes cut into small pieces. Bread lovers, eating in French restaurants will be very happy Oh: one is not enough, another one!
Macaron
The beloved macaron, which is a work of art displayed in the window of a boutique sweet shop. This is actually a sandwich cake with a crispy surface and a rich almond flavor. French desserts are really sweet and sweet... Macarons are no exception! Therefore, no matter what dessert you use in France, please pair it with tea or coffee to relieve the grease.
Beef tartar
This dish seems to be enjoyed only by real French... A popular French beef dish, minced fresh raw beef into pieces, mixed with crushed sour cucumbers and chopped onions, mixed with olive oil, and beaten with a fresh egg yolk. This beef dish is eaten with delicious juice in the meat, and the original juice splashed in the mouth is superior, which is completely different from the five spices stew in Chinese food. When I was in France, I once plucked up the courage to try it once, and it turned out to be packed home and stuffed with dumplings...
The Little Prince
The work "The Little Prince" by the French writer Saint-Exupéry can touch the most tender and sensitive parts of the adult's heart. Reading it when you're unhappy may make you rediscover that innocent little child. All adults used to be children, it's just that they often forget this...
Stills from the movie Les Misérables
《Miserable World》
French literary hero Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables" can well reflect the French people's idea of equality and fraternity. The main line of the story revolves around the personal experience of the protagonist, the torturer Jean Valjean, and integrates the history, revolution, war, moral philosophy, law, justice, and faith of France. The work fully embodies the author's humanitarian thinking: everyone has a bright side and a dark side, love can dissolve hatred, pity for the weak, tolerance will make those who have committed crimes regain their good hearts, and one person's good deeds will change the whole society...
"Reminiscing like water"
French writer Proust's work "Remembrance of Water Years", is a different from the traditional novel of the long novel, some people call it a stream of consciousness novel, with the narrator "I" as the main body, the I see, hear, think and feel into one, narrative, feeling, discussion interspersed together, the most impressive is a sentence spread out and written on several pages ... Well, want to learn to use clauses? Come and read this set of books, get a feel for what it's like to be immersed in the flow of memories, and perhaps understand more deeply that memories are an important part of a good life.
Fourth stop: Spain
Your Spanish "guide" 丨 Chief Correspondent of CCTV in Spain Wei Fan
I am Wei Fan and have been living in Spain for nine years. I have interviewed the Prime Minister of Spain and the homeless street people, which have made me see and see the world from different perspectives. Years of journalistic life, there are sweet and sour, there are bitter and spicy. Sometimes, a short piece of news, the interview process is full of twists and turns and bitterness, there are interviewees do not understand, there are long bumps in the road, there are tired of rushing to the draft. However, when you hear that the news you have written is affirmed by the audience, the hard work of the past will disappear in an instant, and be replaced by inner satisfaction. I hope to bring you more good and interesting Spanish news in the coming days. I want to say out loud, I'm a journalist, and I'm always on my way to the news.
Sagrada Familia
It is the last work of the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí i Cornet, also known as the Atonement. After more than 100 years of construction, the Sagrada Familia is still unfinished and is the only building in the world to be listed as a World Heritage Site before it was completed. The intricate curve design is so exquisite that one glance will glow, and one more look at the head will be congested. If you want to take a stunning panoramic view of the church as a souvenir, it is recommended to take a photo before 9 am from the opposite side of the lake in front of the main entrance of the church!
Alhambra
Granada in Spain was ruled by the Moors for 800 years, and the whole city is full of Islamic style, whether it is the urban architecture that can be seen everywhere, or the humanistic atmosphere of the streets and alleys, it is deeply imprinted with Arab marks. The Alhambra is a landmark of Granada, it was built in the 13th century, is the Moorish rule of the royal palace, known as the "City of Palaces", known as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
Prado Museum
Built in the 18th century in Madrid, Spain, it is known as one of the greatest museums in the world. More importantly, it is also the most comprehensive and authoritative art gallery for Spanish paintings. High-profile temporary exhibitions are also held every year in cooperation with museums around the world, which are well worth a visit.
Paella
Paella, one of the three famous dishes of Western food, is on a par with French snails and pasta. Selling very well, the rice grains are from the precious spice saffron, which is dotted with countless shrimp, crabs, black clams, clams, oysters, squid... Steaming hot and mouth-watering.
Spanish ham
When it comes to Spanish ham, that's too elaborate. The pork legs are marinated in sea salt at low temperatures and then sent to the storage cellar to be dehydrated, air-dried and matured. Serrano ham takes at least 10 months to cellar, while Spain's finest Iberian ham takes years. Generally speaking, the longer the cellaring time, the more the weight of the ham will be reduced during the production process, and the better the quality of the ham.
Spanish potato cake
Almost every household makes it, and the locals treat potato cakes as breakfast or daily snacks, which is an indispensable part of life. Some potato cakes will put some eggs and potatoes in them, and some will also put some ham, which is very delicious.
Don Quixote
Don Quixote is a long anti-chivalric novel by the Spanish writer Cervantes in two parts, in 1605 and 1615. At the time of the story, the knight has been extinct for more than a century, but the protagonist Don Quixote is addicted to chivalric novels, often fantasizing that he is a medieval knight, "doing heroic deeds", wandering the world, and doing all kinds of acts that are contrary to the times and strange. Literary critics have called Don Quixote the first modern novel in the history of Western literature and one of the gems of world literature.
Don Juan
In 1630, the playwright Tirso de Molina's Prodigal Son of Seville was published, and don Juan's story spread out of the Spanish countryside and throughout Europe. At about the same time, in France, Molière's Banquet of Don Juan and the Stone Statue brought the literary image of Don Juan to a climax in the field of theater.
"The Sun Also Rises"
Hemingway can always write about a seemingly boring life, which is hot and desirable, which is probably also the love of life. It is in this book that the Pamplona Bull Run in Spain became a worldwide festival, where people from all over the world went to party and watch bullfighting performances.
Stop 5: Germany
Your German "guide" 丨 Reporter Kong Jie of the German Department of the General Station
From 2010 to 2012, he worked as a foreign correspondent in the German capital Berlin, and liked football, beer, and the introduction of a real Germany. The Oktoberfest Munich was attended more often than many Germans, so they were nicknamed "Beer Jay".
Neuschwanstein Castle
Whether you have been to Germany or not, I think that for all Chinese tourists, the first attraction worth visiting must be Neuschwanstein Castle. Built during the time of Ludwig II, this castle offers a different visual experience all year round. In particular, this castle is also inextricably linked to the heroine of the film and television work "Princess Sissi" trilogy that we are familiar with, waiting for you to discover.
The Brandenburg Gate
The Brandenburg Gate in the capital Berlin, as a German landmark building, if you read the history of the Brandenburg Gate, you will also understand the entire development history of the German nation.
Bamberg
A niche and romantic place: Bamberg. Inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1993, Bamberg offers views not only of Little Venice in Germany, but also of a unique smoked beer.
Tonkatsu
Roast pork knuckle with sauerkraut
German sausages
As we all know, Germans love to eat meat, and the amount of German dishes is very large, with the reputation of "Northeast European cuisine". Neuschwanstein Castle and Bamberg are both located in the Bavarian region of Germany, so the most famous dish in South Germany: pork cutlet, must be tried. A German once talked to me about how in southern Germany, if you don't know what to eat, order toné pork chops because all the chefs in the restaurant don't miss out on this traditional dish.
If you're in Berlin to see the Brandenburg Gate, be sure to try the local currywurst; If in Munich, try the boiled white sausage; If you're in Nuremberg, try the local Nuremberg grilled sausage. Drinks that match it, be sure to drink beer in summer, and drink hot red bars in winter.
"We Live Like This"
A Bird's Eye View of Germany
Germany, a Summer Fairy Tale
After watching the documentaries "Deutschland – Wie wir leben" (How We Live) and "A Bird's Eye View of Germany", you can understand the characteristics of Germans from the data, and the scenery of Germany from the picture.
The third film, recommended about football. Because football is to the Germans what table tennis is to us. Germany has won several championships in history, all of which have been made into films, but there is a work called "Germany, a Summer Fairy Tale" (Deutschland, ein Sommermärchen), which documents the last time Germany hosted the World Cup. Although Germany only finished third in this tournament, it was also a sign of the resurgence of German football, and this group of players finally won the world championship for Germany eight years later.
Yes, after reading it, it is still a bit of a loss,
The world is so big, we can't just walk away...
