Switzerland — as beautiful as a painting!

## A guide to Swiss wonderland: a fairy tale of four seasons through the Alps Stepping into Switzerland is like opening a three-dimensional fairy tale book. It is recommended that you go straight to Interlaken as your first stop. This small town is the gateway to the Jungfraujoch, sandwiched between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. In the morning, you can take the century-old cogwheel train to the summit and enjoy the magnificent view of the Eiger Glacier along the way. In the afternoon, you can taste the famous Swiss cheese hotpot in the town and melt in the fragrance of the wooden houses and flowers all over the city. The old town of Lucerne hides medieval codes, the pediment of the Chapel Bridge tells stories from the 17th century, and the dying lion statue is awe-inspiring. You may want to rent a bicycle and ride along Lake Lucerne, and remember to have breadcrumbs ready in case you encounter a flock of swans. The Matterhorn in Zermatt shines like a diamond under the clear sky. It is recommended to stay in a wooden house on the mountainside and take the cable car in the early morning to watch the "golden sunrise" spectacle. Montreux on the shores of Lake Geneva hides surprises. The Gothic promenade of Chillon Castle is reflected on the lake, and during the annual Christmas market the entire castle is transformed into a giant gingerbread house. When you take the Golden Pass Express through the grape terraces, remember to order a glass of local Chasselas white wine. We especially recommend visiting St. Moritz in November, soaking in the open-air mineral hot springs in sub-zero temperatures and looking up at the dancing auroras in the sky. The watch shop on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse embodies the soul of a craftsman. When buying a watch, you can ask to visit the underground workshop. When looking for Einstein's former residence in the old town of Bern, don't miss the brewery under the arcade. The Swiss Travel Pass unlocks 90% of transportation, but hiking is the right way to explore the Alps - download the SwitzerlandMobility APP, and 800 clearly marked routes will take you through magical forests and alpine pastures. Tips: The weather in the mountains changes rapidly, so you should always have a jacket and sunscreen ready. Try the locals’ favorite Älplermagronen cheese macaroni. If you go there in winter, Grindelwald’s dreamy hillsides covered with snow will look like a real-life setting for Frozen.
