I never knew "European textiles" could be so interesting until I came here.
Today, Pandy is taking you to the "Textile Museum St. Gallen."
It is located in the eastern Swiss city of St. Gallen.
The museum is housed in an elegant 19th-century building.
The interior is exquisite and beautiful.
From early handlooms
to modern high-tech textile equipment,
it seems that every exhibit has its own story to tell.
As early as the Middle Ages,
St. Gallen became a center for embroidery and textiles in Europe.
Since the 19th century, embroidery here
has been an important Swiss export.
Two centuries later,
St. Gallen is more focused on haute couture.
It is said that one-third of the world's high-end women's fashion fabrics come from here,
including many well-known luxury brands.
The Textile Museum has a collection of about 30,000 items,
including handmade lace products from all over Europe since the Middle Ages,
textiles from other regions and ethnic groups around the world,
handmade tools,
and modern textile art from St. Gallen.
In addition, the museum also has a library
where you can find historical information about the local textile industry.
The most impressive thing is the ticket to the Textile Museum St. Gallen,
which is made of a piece of fabric.
It is really ingenious
and environmentally friendly.
It is also in line with Switzerland's advocacy of sustainability.

St. Gallen Abbey is the best example of the Carolingian monastery. It was one of the important churches in Europe since the secularization of the 8th century to 1805. The collections, which are rich in the world's oldest books, contain valuable and invaluable manuscripts such as architectural drawings originally drawn on sheepskin. From 1755 to 1768, the church area was rebuilt with Baroque architecture, while the cathedral and library remained the focus of this building, and now individual damaged monasteries have been connected to form a monastery community.
After passing through the last remaining ancient doorway of the year, we came to the entire courtyard. This gate is like a bridge between time and space, connecting the modern society of the 21st century with the ancient European culture of the 18th century and even earlier. Sitting down at the centuries-old chocolate shop next to the square, looking at the window outside the window to wash the old monastery, and savoring the scent of the homemade scent in the store, this bourgeois feeling makes me linger.

St. Gallen, the hub of the important train line in eastern Switzerland, is located in the valleys of the two mountains in northeastern Switzerland. It is known as the City of Thousands because there are many steps on the hills on both sides of the city. What attracts attention here is that it has a superb world cultural heritage: St. Gallen Abbey.

Because we have to go to Germany and go against the current, we will spend the afternoon on the boat. Of course, we are not lying in the cabin. We also arranged a good program. The river is not as strict as the control of the sea vessel. We took turns to visit the captain. In the room, the entire cruise ship has a total of three captains and several engineers and sailors. The rest are service personnel. On the balcony in the room, I saw a Viking on the other side, the rules of the ship, the refined interior. I saw a lot of similar cruise ships on the river bank twice. There is no Viking praise
afternoon. In the gallery, we listened to the Dutch water conservancy project introduced by the project director to learn more about how the windmill works. The engineer told us about our Estra, the owner of Viking is Swiss, has 64 search rivers, each search is nearly 29 million euros, the service crowd of each search ship is not In the same way, there are American ships, European ships, and Canadian ships. The Chinese ships started sailing only last year. The Chinese people with all their talents provide the best service for the Chinese to travel to Europe. At the end of the lounge, we really fell in love. You can't sleep without a few cocktails every day. In addition to several expensive wines, the drinks, spirits and cocktails on the rest of the wine list are unlimited. There are also snacks, and the Bar tender here is a very young girl, but each person has a different style of bartending, and can also bring out the wine that is not on the wine list.

The Viking cruise ship in the inland rivers of Europe, the staff on board are Chinese, the restaurant has Chinese food every day, the restaurant has a large space, can accommodate about 200 people, the middle rectangular table is the place to take meals, the main Chef is my big Beijing chef, and another chef is Chongqing Drip. The Chinese stomach will definitely find the feeling of home
self-service dinner here, the combination of Chinese and Western, the combination of vegetarian and vegetarian, and more for the plane meal. It's not as good as cooking. The variety is changing every day on the
CHEESE table. Many countries in Europe are rich in cheese. You don't have to worry about buying it. You can taste all kinds of flavors
fresh fruits and desserts here too. Very delicious, listen to the crew and tell us about every search for a cruise. 11 days of milk consumption of 100 kg, 900 eggs, 600 kg of meat, Chinese people eat more vegetables, so need six tons of vegetables, 300 kg of potatoes every five days, each I have to replenish it once in 7 days. I was shocked when I heard it. How much we can eat, and in order to ensure the freshness of the dishes, there is absolutely no food left before the day before eating. Europe is still at this point. Rigorous
In addition to the self-service area, you can also order some refined dishes, salmon, Hainanese chicken rice, German sausages are fixed dishes, and there are 1-3 LOCAL dishes available every day depending on the city you arrive. Very delicate dishes will be served by the waiters, all of which are freshly baked.
