Tinguely Brunnen

I came out early in the morning and the museum has not opened yet, so I decided to come and see the Dingri Fountain first. I saw the photo of this fountain before and I didn't think it was very beautiful, but I found it very interesting after I got there. There is a fun mechanical device in the fountain, which sprays water while running. Visitors to the fountain can sit around, there are many stools under the shade. It is a great place to relax.

Switzerland's third largest city, bordering Germany and France, has the least serious fountain in Europe, Basel, Switzerland - you hear it mostly because of the watch and jewelry exhibitions held here every April. The city, at the intersection of Switzerland, France and Germany, is a very international city and the third largest in Switzerland (after Zurich and Geneva). Basel is located on the Rhine River, and the natural scenery here may not be as mountainous and lake-like as Montreux, Lucerne and Zurich, with typical Swiss beauty, but the city is still charming. Especially in the old city, many ancient buildings are still retained, and the trams shuttle in the city, and the traffic is very convenient. The flowing Rhine divides Basel in two, the Greater Basel and the Little Basel, the former industrial and commercial districts, and the latter a literary block with galleries and cafes. Basel is a very historic city, once belonged to Germany, before entering Switzerland. Basel has developed from ancient industry and commerce, and to the modern era, the famous Novartis and Roche pharmaceutical headquarters here. Looking out from the bell tower at the top of the cathedral, built of crimson sandstone, the full view of Basel can be seen clearly. The cathedral was first built in the 11th century, damaged by earthquakes in the 14th century and later rebuilt, a mixture of Roman and Gothic architecture. Basel is a “mixed” city, and in addition to modern multinationals, it retains old traditional projects such as unpowered ferries on the Rhine. This powerless ferry, without paddles and motors, is pulled by a rope and ferryed by the river's own momentum, so primitive, but also quite flavorful. Dinggli Fountain is one of the landmarks of Basel, this fountain in the center of Basel can be called the "most serious" fountain in Europe, designed by artist Dinggli, which has been made into a variety of interesting installations with the theater stage abandoned Shahebei, while dancing and spraying water. Very interesting. A historical museum in Basel. Basel is a well-deserved “city of museums” with nearly 40 museums in the city, and this density is also very high in cities in Switzerland and even Europe. In addition, Basel's galleries and theatres are also famous, and from this perspective, this international city on the Rhine is also a city of literature and art. Basel’s conspicuous red city hall has been around for 500 years and today it is the office of the Basel administration, free to visit, and outside the city hall is a lively flea market. Because of its location on the German border with Switzerland, Basel has become a transport hub, with shipping, air and train traffic. Basel Airport is operated by Switzerland and France (the airport is actually on French territory), and Basel SBB train station is also a major transportation hub. The railway station was built in the early 20th century and has been more than 100 years old.
