Taking the train from Geneva to Montreux, you will pass a small town called "Vevey" on the way. Because when I was making the strategy before, I had my eyes on the big fork here, so I had to come here to check in anyway. Vevey is a small town in western Switzerland, between Lausanne and Montreux. There are vast vineyards around the town. It began to develop and prosper as a wine center in the Middle Ages. The world-famous Nestle company is headquartered here, and the company's iconic big fork stands on the shore of Lake Geneva in Vevey. So after getting off the Vevey train station, I went straight to the big fork through Google Maps navigation. The town is very small, so it only takes about ten minutes to walk there. This is a quiet town. There are some locals walking on the lakeside trail, or sitting on chairs to chat about life and bask in the sun. It feels that this place is completely different from the high-paced life in Switzerland. Maybe this is an unpopular attraction. I almost don't see Chinese people here, but in order to rush to Montreux to see the castle, I hurried to the big fork to take a few check-in photos. Next to the big fork is the statue of Charlie Chaplin, the comedy master Charlie Chaplin lived here for 25 years and died here, so it is understandable to set up a statue here as a memorial, so I inevitably took a group photo to check in, after all, I'm here. Take the train to Montreux again to see the Chillon Castle, which is built on a protruding rock by Lake Geneva, a bit like a peninsula. The most famous thing about this place is the poem "The Prisoner of Chillon" written by Byron. The famous poet and the famous poem made this castle a business card for Montreux. However, it is charged to visit the castle. Due to time constraints and our lack of interest in the various historical chapters in the castle, we took a few standard tourist photos by the lake and left happily after visiting here, after all, we still have to continue to Interlaken. Overall, the Chillon Castle is worth seeing, but not worth seeing in depth. I personally think that Interlaken is still the most essential place in Switzerland, so you can take a look at the footprints I left in Interlaken.

This big fork standing in the water of Lake Geneva is called the Big Fork. There is nothing special worth visiting, but you must take a photo as a souvenir. It is indeed a very interesting design.

The eye-catching fork stands in the lake of Geneva. It was designed by designer Jean Pierre Zaugg in 19950 to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Food Festival. The fork is made of stainless steel and is eight meters high. It shines golden in the sunset, forming a sharp contrast with the snow-capped mountains. This has also become one of Vevey's eye-catching symbols.

Among the many towns on Lake Geneva, I prefer Vevey to Montreux, which is too famous and has too many tourists. The lake view here is more open and there are relatively fewer tourists. The Big Fork is one of the iconic landscapes here, just opposite the Charlie Chaplin statue, standing by the river and looks very interesting.

This attraction is really just a visit. Because it is the representative of Vevey, you must take a photo. The big fork is in Lake Geneva in front of the Food Museum. If you have time, you can go to the Food Museum to have a look. Because the scenery by Lake Geneva is so beautiful, the Swiss simply installed swivel chairs on the reefs by the lake, so that everyone can sit by the lake and slowly enjoy the scenery. Occasionally, a few swans will swim past in front of you as if nothing happened. It's so leisurely. I happened to meet a couple taking photos. You can imagine how popular this attraction is.

The waves on Lake Geneva are 2 meters high. I thought I was at the seaside. A quiet and beautiful town. It's a good place to relax when you have nothing to do.
