This is the best safe haven in the bustling city. The most important thing is that there are white peacocks walking here and mandarin ducks in pairs...a wonderful harmony between the city and nature.

This is Europe's largest medieval square, covering 4 hectares. It is surrounded by colorful buildings, cafes, and street performers. The Sukiennice, the cloth hall in the center of the square, was built in the 13th century and was originally a textile market and one of Europe's important trading centers. Today, it is a shopping paradise for handicrafts and amber jewelry.

It is the most worthy tallest building in Warsaw, with a total height of 234 meters. It was built by the former Soviet Union and presented to Warsaw. It has a strong former Soviet architectural style and is a landmark building in Warsaw. It is called "Stalin's syringe" or "Russian wedding cake". However, such a beautiful building is completely inconsistent with the style of the surrounding new town and the old town in the distance. The complicated historical process has made the Poles have a complex feeling of love and hate for this building. It is said that there is a lot of space inside and various exhibitions are often held. This reminds me of the "Sino-Soviet Friendship Building" in Shanghai. Haha, it is indeed a building of the same style.

On the west bank of the Vistula River in Warsaw stands a bronze sculpture with a human body and a fish tail. This is the symbol of the heroic city of Warsaw - the Warsaw Mermaid. In Poland, the Vistula River, which flows into the Peronian Sea, is said to have a mermaid. At that time, a young man named Wald and a young woman named Shava traveled by boat down the river to the current Polish capital Warsaw to open up their homeland. The mermaid in the river was their witness and protector. This place gradually developed into a city. In order to commemorate them, later generations combined their names and called it "Warsaw" as the name of the city. At the same time, the image of the mermaid was used as the emblem of Warsaw.

The Old Town Market Square is the most popular place in Warsaw's old town. There are restaurants all around the square.
