    The German Cape is a piece of land located at the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine rivers in Koblenz, Germany. There is a magnificent bronze equestrian sculpture of the first emperor of the German Empire, William I. On the top of the mountain opposite the berth is the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. Around 1000 AD, a small castle building appeared here. In the following centuries, the electors of Trier converted it into a fortress. Later, it was destroyed by the French, and the Kingdom of Prussia also sent people to repair the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. This fortress is one of the most powerful fortresses built in Europe after 1815, and it is still well preserved.

    Trier - Marx's former residence, Marx statue: They have two completely different attitudes towards Marx, one proud and the other disgusted. But this small town absolutely loves their sponsor. Marx's German version of Capital is sold everywhere, and his head portraits and sculptures are everywhere. I searched three times for the last statue of Marx sent by China, and I only took a photo from a distance. Hello, Uncle Ma, goodbye.

    Trier, which is in southwest Germany and close to Luxembourg, is the oldest city in Germany and was an important administrative center for the Western Roman Empire. The city is very walkable, and I was able to get everywhere on foot with the help of Google Maps. A full, packed day is enough to cover the major sites and take in the many fascinating ancient Roman ruins. I managed to tour the Porta Nigra, which was a city gate and later a church - Trier is a must-visit for European history buffs and UNESCO World Heritage site lovers!

    Most tour groups don't pass by here, so there are very few Chinese tourists. The museum is very large and has a collection of classic cars of various brands, motorcycles, trains, fire trucks, etc. There are also civilian aircraft, fighters, transport aircraft, including crashed fighters during World War II. Some of the aircraft can be climbed up to visit, and then slide down on the slide. It is worth visiting.

    Mainz Cathedral is a reddish sandstone building. It has been repaired many times in history because of wars and fires. When we went there, the top of the church's bell tower was still under repair. The interior of the church is also reddish sandstone. It lacks the exquisiteness and magnificence of the Rococo style, but is more solemn and dignified.

    Take a cruise down the Rhine Valley from Saint-Gol to Boppard. The scenery along the way is like a fairy tale. The castle on the top of the mountain, the town with cute houses and steeple churches, and the vineyards on the hillside are so charming. I Like it very much.
