German castles |
| Mr.Chilian live
in Munchen, this is a world famous city. It is a capital of Bavaria. "The
Munich Agreement", "The Munich beer festival", "Bayern
Munich"....these wording are familiarized by Chinese, and also have
the building of famous "BMW" headquarters, all radiates fascinating
lustre. However that talked most by Mr.Chilian is not the Munchen, but
is the "Fussen" and its castle located southwest about 100 KM
of the Munchen. He once sent many English or German introduce about the
castle, later, he also sent Chinese tour guide. (Below) |

The castle provoked my interest. Then,
I found a number of introduce in the Chinese magazine (Below): |

The Neuschwanstein castle in Fussen is
also called "Children's stories palace", "New swan stone
castle", it is a residential palace of the King Lidwig II of Bavaria
(1845-1886). It is situated in high mountains and lofty hills of the
Alps, with new Roman building style. It has a extreme magnificent outside
and is second to none in German castle palace. Here is a native place
of Mr. Chilian, he has a villa with a small garden there. The Fussen
is only a few kilometers distant Austria, so he often drive to Austria,
Swiss,Italy....for tour. He hope time and again I could go to there.
The Europe tour has been opened in China this year, I hope I will visit
there with my wife in future for tour and friendship. |
