Historic industrial monuments and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. For us, this is mainly to check in to see the buildings, after all, this is the most modern and beautiful coal mining complex in the world.

The Red Dot Design Museum in Essen is definitely the place designers dream of. There are two Red Dot Design Museums around the world, which showcase many very creative designs, including industrial design, furniture art design, and advertising design. Imagination is rich and eye-opening.

梦露夫人
Our home is on the Rhine in Düsseldorf, so we come to this park and the river every day. The banks on the Rhine are beautiful and valuable. Every Sunday there are various activities, sometimes food gatherings, sometimes antique car exhibitions, It's pretty fun.

魔女锦鲤
The classic photo I often see is a photo of the Hohenzollern Bridge and the Cologne Cathedral. Walking east along the Cologne Cathedral, you will come to the bridge. On both sides of the bridge are sidewalks and bicycle lanes, and in the middle is the railway track. Walking on the bridge, there are trains passing by on the middle track from time to time. Standing in the middle of the bridge or on the west bank of the bridge is a better place to enjoy. On the side of the sidewalk near the track, there are colorful and dense love locks. It is said that hanging a lock on the Hohenzollern bridge, throwing the key into the Rhine, love can be long, so many locals, and tourists who come here, have carved their names and lovers on the lock and left on this bridge, accumulated over the years, more and more locks, Colorful copper locks, forming unique landscape. Reason to go: Germany's most romantic bridge
