In the Netherlands, you can see both beautiful tulips and ancient windmills that keep turning. And life in Amsterdam is also exciting. People often refer to the Netherlands as the land of windmills. Why?

The Netherlands is a country with a lot of rain. Due to the low terrain, the river water does not flow to the sea, so the river water will continue to rise every year. It tends to go beyond the low-lying areas that people built, so people build windmills to drain the water.

Once upon a time there was a saying in Europe that God's creator, the Dutch windmill, created the land.

Yes, without these tall windmills, the Netherlands would not be able to take 1/3 of its land from the sea. The aroma of cheese tulips is also absent.

Today's windmills can be used to grind grains, and the Dutch will put these larger windmills together. Then build a house, put those windmills in it, and it becomes a big mill.

When the Dutch windmills are in different postures, they represent different meanings. For example, if the flag is hung on the windmill, it means that a small life will be born. When the windmill is at rest, the opposite tilt of the blades indicates that something unfortunate has happened.

In the past, windmills in the Netherlands were also a major project. Although high-tech has now replaced the function of windmills, more than 1,000 windmills are still reserved as new environmentally friendly new energy sources.

On the second Saturday in May every year, the optimistic and simple Dutch people happily turn a thousand windmills to welcome tourists from all over the world.

Country towns in the Netherlands are very common with well-tended, well-tended gardens. Even growing a la carte in the yard is particularly artistic with trim.

The oldest and most beautiful city in the Netherlands, Maastricht, is located in the southernmost part of the Netherlands, between the German and Belgian borders. It attracts many tourists every year.

Wooden houses, windmills, fairy tale-like towns, don't you want to visit?
