We left Heidelberg before sunset. I noticed one thing during the road to our next station. I found many 'wind power station'(风力发电站). These kinda device were not just seen after we left Heidelberg, i saw them all the time when we were driving along the expressway. From this, i can understand a little why Europe has such a nice environment. In fact, i didn't find ANY man-made pollution during the trip. In my eyes it's just like the ppl there 'belong to the nature', while we, Chinese, 'are against the nature' coz in China i see man-made pollutions all the time.

These kinda power station are very familiar in Europe.

After leaving Heidelberg, we left Germany & headed to France.

Before we got to Paris, we went to a small country first - the rich Luxemburg. But we didn't spent much time here coz there was much fun about this country. On the picture is the World War II cenotaph(二战纪念碑). During WWII, Luxemburg once attended the injustice war --- that is, Luxemburg fought for Germany. So this country was blamed a lot after WWII, however, everything is ok now.
The flag on the right is the national flag of Luxemburg, do u find anything about his flag? is it very familiar? does it resemble the French national flag? hehe~~
Luxemburg is beside France, so its culture, its ppl r very much like French ones. The official language in this country is French too.

Three local civilians. They were very polite to us. i got their permission to take a photo of them lol~~~ They spoke pure French, i could hardly understand what they said.

Behind them is the bottom of that WWII cenotaph.

We planned to stay over(过夜) in Luxemburg. This is our hotel A very new and modern hotel. oh, did i mentioned the class of the hotels we stayed in Europe? They were all >= 3 star(大于等于三星级酒店). This one is 3 star class. Remember the "Austria Trend" hotel in Vienna? that one is 4 star class.

We found this in the back of the hotel. Since this hotel is new, this crane used to build the hotel had not been moved away yet. See? even this construction equipment is also so clean hehe~~~

Look what the hotel had?! a swimming pool! totally free!
What's more, the water in the pool were warming up constantly, and the water were cycled to filter to keep clean! whatever there is ppl inside!
I can't help feeling the benefit of "the low population" in Europe. So much resource! So few people! We could enjoy the resource with us only!

Inside the pool is a friend of mine:)

On the other side of the hotel. There was a garden. And we found...

In the next day's morning, we arrived in Paris, City of Romance. Unfortunately the weather was cloudy.

The first sight of Paris.

The first station in Paris was no suspense. We headed directly to the Eiffel Tower.

In Shenzhen, there is a Eiffel Tower model in "Window of the World"(世界之窗公园, 应该有人知道). And that model was built with 1:3 to the real one.

Now i see the real one, the real Eiffel Tower. I stood in front of him. i can tell u the model is no match of this. As the most famous steel structure, its beauty, its strong, its elegance, its spectacularity...i don't know how to express that. This tower is a masterpiece!

Some figure about Eiffel Tower:
Built in: year 1887
Height: 327 meters
Stairs: 1710
