    The castle, modeled after the Disney castle, embodies a romantic love story. You must arrive at the time indicated on your ticket and queue to enter; any time you exceed the time limit will void your ticket. We were so busy taking photos downstairs that we missed our scheduled entry. Luckily, we were the last group still available that day, so we scanned the QR code at the entrance to purchase our tickets. Photography is prohibited inside, and there are guides in various languages. The castle in winter is especially like something out of a fairytale. From inside, the snow and fog outside create the illusion of a sea of ​​clouds. I hope to see the castle in different seasons.

    It has a futuristic feel & we love it. Bulky bags & jackets/winterwear has to be placed in the locker provided before you enter the exhibit area. Total 22 zones. Lots of sitting down place in case you tired or just wanna watch the cars while resting.

    Price was reasonable, but really it had too many rooms to visit, lost patience at a point. Overall I find interesting when anything relates to Empress Sisi. Worth a visit if you’re interested in Bavarian history.

    There is a big difference between the live broadcast on TV and the live game. The stadium is very big and the full house at the start of the game is very shocking. The shouts of the goals are very exciting. Munich is a football fan. The stadium is easy to find and can be reached directly by subway. It is very convenient to book with Ctrip. There will be a butler to contact on WeChat. The fan area is in a very good location. The stadium is still a bit cold in February. I must wear more clothes next time I go. Haha, I will choose Ctrip next time. It’s great. It’s a very good experience👍

    As the summer palace of the Bavarian royal family, its architecture and garden design are very ornamental. The palace itself is a magnificent Baroque building with a front facade that is hundreds of meters long and magnificent. Many original decorations and furniture are preserved inside, which is very stunning. Each room is like a time capsule that travels back to the 18th century. The large English garden behind the palace is extremely open, with lakes, bridges, boulevards and scattered hunting pavilions (such as Amalienburg) forming a quiet and elegant picture. It is recommended to reserve enough time for a slow walk and feel the leisurely pace of aristocratic life. It is very convenient to take a tram or subway from the city center, and there are also multilingual information introductions in Chinese, English and other languages at the entrance. The tour route is clear, and there is an optional audio guide, which is suitable for self-guided tours or family tours.

    Maria Square is the central square in Munich. In the middle of the square is the statue of the Virgin Mary, and in the north of the square is the Gothic-style town hall (Rathaus), which was built in 1867-1908. In the middle of the town hall is the 85-meter-high clock tower, with the famous doll clock clock, and the dolls at 11 am and 5 pm accompanied by music to show the scene of the 1568 William V wedding ceremony and the elimination of the Black Death. Not far northwest of the square, there are two famous onion-topped Notre Dame Churches, a symbol of Munich. Drink beer, taste ice cream and enjoy the bustling city by the square.

    The store issues tickets very quickly, which is very convenient, and the price is quite reasonable. The museum has a lot of content, divided into many small exhibitions. The popular science about the human body and atoms is not seen much in China. The ones presented here are more like children's paintings.

    D23 Schönau-King's Lake-Ramsau-Back Lake-Stay in Lofersalach Valley King's Lake is located 5 kilometers south of Berchtesgaden, a small town on the border between Germany and Austria. It is known as the most beautiful lake in Germany. It is named after the shape of the surrounding peaks, such as the peaks symbolizing the king and queen, their children and the witch peak lying down. It is the deepest lake in Germany, with a maximum depth of 200 meters. Surrounded by mountains, the lake water is clear, and there is no pollution in the lake when electric boats travel. Wandering by boat, on the cliffs of the "Echo Wall", is a famous program for cruise ships: the captain blows the trumpet facing the cliff, and the echo can be clearly heard, and then takes the hat to collect tips. St. Bartholomew's Chapel is a landmark on the west bank of the Hirschau Peninsula of King's Lake. It has a unique shape and is known as a representative of the Baroque style. Go to the pier at the south end of the lake and then go forward to the upper lake. The lake is not big, but the color is comparable to the Five Flower Sea in Jiuzhaigou! The southern end of the upper lake is a pasture, and there are many swimmers who are not afraid of the cold by the lake! The dreamy colors can only be explained by pictures!

    Linderhof Palace is a fairytale brought to life—elegant, intimate, and surrounded by breathtaking gardens and forest. King Ludwig II’s dream is everywhere in the details. Smaller than Neuschwanstein, but more personal and enchanting. A hidden gem in Bavaria!
