This is rare in the world and is also Japan's first tourist destination to use the nature of the prairie. Cao Qianli was originally a fire outlet, but it was covered with large green grass. It is located in Asu Shanxi. There are two ponds in the grassland. During the dry season, the water of the pond evaporates, and a pond will form again after the rainy season comes.
In winter, the pool water freezes and becomes a natural ice rink. In the grassland, some scattered cows and horses were wandering leisurely, while others were drinking water to their heart's content. From April to November every year, tourists can ride horses on the grassland. Compared with the slightly yellow grasslands here, the grasslands seen on the way down the mountain that are lower than the altitude are very vibrant and verdant. The grass at the foot of the mountain is lush. Climbing the Daguan Peak on the north wall of Wailun Mountain, you can enjoy the panoramic view of Mount Asu. On the way up the mountain (you can see some old craters, especially a very perfect pocket volcano, because the time when the activity has stopped is long, the whole volcano is covered with plants, like a green steamed bun, very cute.

Marken (Marken)
Marken is a small island connected to land in the North Sea. The village retains traditional Dutch green huts. Here, cattle and sheep are in herds, and many seagulls are flying in the air, giving the smell of a paradise. From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, the residents of Marken attached great importance to the traditional Dutch culture and architecture that gradually disappeared in the process of Dutch modernization, and did a lot of folklore and anthropology research. Through the joint efforts of folklorists, anthropologists and town residents, Marken was able to preserve a very traditional style today.
Marken can be called a fairy tale paradise, but it is not designed for tourism. There are few tourists in the village and there are no hotels. The natural and simple atmosphere of life on the island is like the sunny smile of the islanders, or the aroma of wheat is like a glass of local beer. The roads in the village are made of warm bricks, and the children are chasing around like sparrows. Every household is full of flowers, pirate flags floated at the window, and a pocket wooden house for feeding and sleeping for the birds by the window. At the door are hung with Dutch-style wooden shoes and strange homemade dolls. There are also many people's doorsteps with various scene-based fairy tale dolls on the lawns and sandy ground, including mermaids, Dumbo, as well as sleeping beauty and match-selling little girls. Snow White is lying in a clear glass cover, with seven dwarfs of different shapes standing around, next to them is their home - they are obviously most carefully cared for, spotless and unscathed.
Dutch cheese is called the treasure of the cheese kingdom. According to the earliest records, the Dutch cheese industry began in the 9th century. These cheeses are produced in the province of Risland and are enjoyed by the court of Shalin Mag.In the Middle Ages, the dairy industry was becoming more mature, and special cheese weighing markets were built in Haarlem, Linden and Rivorden to regulate the size of cheese.
Early Dutch cheeses were particularly well preserved. They were not easy to deteriorate and were easy to transport, so they were transported to Germany by land, or even to the Baltic Mediterranean and beyond. For several lifetimes, the export of Dutch cheese has been continuing continuously. The furthest Darcy Indies East and South America, the orchid cheese has been very successful so far. The Netherlands has the reputation of "European vegetable basket". For many people, the Netherlands is synonymous with cheese.
Dutch cheese is the most representative and famous of Gouda, which is as big as a wheel. The yellow wave cheese accounts for the total Dutch cheese production. Its appearance is like a large yellow wheel, and the surface is covered with a thin wax indicating the taste. Its milky flavor is relatively strong and popular. Red Wave Cheese (EAM) The only cheese in the world that remains perfectly spherical is the second most important industry among all kinds of cheeses in the Netherlands, accounting for 15.787% of the total Dutch cheese production. Both yellow wave cheese and red wave cheese are original cheeses.
The Netherlands is a real cheese kingdom, with an annual output of more than 400,000 tons of cheese exported in the world, and its history can be traced back to 400 AD. In addition to being a daily must-have for the Netherlands, cheese is also an excellent way to understand traditional Netherlands. Even the Dutch people say, "Say Cheese!" when taking pictures. This cheese culture has left traces in cities such as Akma, Gouda and Aiden.
wooden shoes are the "Three Treasures of the Netherlands" that are as famous as windmills and tulips. Like windmills, wooden shoes are the product of the Dutch adapting to the geographical environment in the fight with nature. The Netherlands is located in northern Western Europe, bordering the North Sea, with a low terrain and a "low-lying country". Many large rivers in Europe enter the sea through the Netherlands, and are affected by the humid temperate marine climate throughout the year, almost half of the land is soaked in water. It was precisely such geographical conditions that prompted the Dutch to invent wooden shoes more than 500 years ago. In the past, poor farmers could not afford shoes and could not walk barefoot on the frozen ground, so they carved the wood into boat-shaped shoes with thick soles and upturned toes, and the shoes were filled with straw to keep the cold. This kind of shoes are comfortable and warm when worn on the feet, so wooden shoes became popular in the Netherlands.
Long ago, the Dutch royal family had a rule that anyone who visited the king must wear a dress, feet and wooden shoes to show respect and surrender to the supreme king. In the Netherlands, after the baby is born, parents should prepare a pair of small wooden shoes for the baby, indicating that as a Dutch, you must be with wooden shoes throughout your life. When a young Dutch man is in love, he should try to carefully measure the shape and size of his girlfriend's feet, give her a pair of wooden shoes and engrave her girlfriend's name. When getting married, the husband gave wooden shoes to his wife as a token of love and put them on them with his own hands. Wooden shoes are also gifts given to relatives and friends in the daily life of the Dutch. If someone gives you a pair of wooden shoes that you just can wear, it means you are his most noble friend.
Wooden shoes are the most ethnic handicraft in the Netherlands and are a microcosm of national customs and culture. Nowadays, the practical value of Dutch wooden shoes has been greatly reduced, and few people have worn them. However, tourists love them very much and have become must-buy souvenirs, because the shape of wooden shoes is very cute, and the whole look is like a small boat, which can be used as decorations and vases. Even the Dutch people are reluctant to throw them away. Over the years, wooden shoes have earned more than 100 million US dollars in foreign exchange for the Netherlands, and have become a treasure for the heads of state and political leaders of various countries.
