    Large green area and pink rococo palace. When we are there at least 3 wedding photos work was there. The large landscape and well maintained trees and flowers creates a good scene for photos and also the historic building, artificial water and sculptures keeps the feeling of place garden.

    Our home is right on the banks of the Rhine in Düsseldorf, so we come to this park and walk along the river every day. The banks of the Rhine are both beautiful and useful. There are various activities here every Sunday, sometimes food gatherings, sometimes antique car exhibitions, which are quite fun.

    Along with Hannover, Düsseldorf is the center of the two largest exhibition industries in Germany. When I came here, it was the hottest weather in Düsseldorf in 40 years. Fortunately, there were air conditioners in the exhibition halls. There are more than a dozen halls here, which is really huge.

    The market square is located in the center of the old town of Düsseldorf, on the north side of the square is the city hall of Düsseldorf (DüsseldorfRathaus), which has been around for nearly 450 years. It is the oldest part of the old town complex in Düsseldorf.

    This is a landmark. The revolving restaurant on it is the best restaurant in the city. Even if you don’t come here to eat, you must visit the viewing platform here. From a high place, the layout and structure of the entire city are clear at a glance.

    Düsseldorf, a city in western Germany, is a beautiful medium-sized city, also known as the largest village in Europe, located on the banks of the Rhine. The hometown of German romantic poet and writer Heine is here, and the last picture is Heine's former residence.

    Heine's former residence is not very eye-catching. This is a common phenomenon in Europe, so we are used to it. It is located at 53 Bolker Street, the most prosperous area in the old town. There is a bronze relief of Heine on the wall above the door, mainly because he spent his youth here.
