    Such a great museum to visit. It gives a good sense of Dutch heritage and culture. You could spend hours browsing. As much as I like Van Gogh I was happy that we chose this place as an initial experience. Pre-booking is strongly recommended as waiting lines build up quickly. There is a pleasant cafe inside to get a beak and it’s quite reasonable as well.

    Buy a cup of coffee or tea before boarding and enjoy your leisure time. Feel the customs and customs of Amsterdam on the water, see historical relics, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the beam bridge, and listen to the past and present. Before boarding, I thought what was there to see in Amsterdam. After the boat started: this experience was still good, and I could calm down and savor life. The Prince's Canal, Anne's House, West Church, "Dentures of Amsterdam", whether serious, deep, or funny, RMB 127 is still worth it. This boat is relatively basic and cost-effective; you can also try a more expensive boat full of colorful flower decorations, take pictures, and the most important thing is that there are wine waiters on the boat, and you can order wine/drinks.

    Visiting the Anne Frank House was truly unforgettable. The museum is thoughtfully curated, the exhibits are moving, and walking through the Secret Annex gives a vivid sense of history. A must-visit in Amsterdam!

    It can't be compared with the palaces in China. But the palaces in Europe are all like that. It is equipped with Chinese electronic devices for introduction, but the positioning is not very sensitive. It is better to move in the order of the code.

    The Heineken Experience in Amsterdam is more than just a brewery tour it’s an immersive journey into the world of one of the most iconic beer brands. From the moment you step inside the historic brewery, you’re greeted with a vibrant mix of history, innovation, and interactive fun.The tour takes you through the fascinating story of Heineken, from its humble beginnings in 1864 to its global presence today. The original brewing equipment and vintage ads are a treat for history buffs.The 4D ride and virtual brewing experience are standout moments ,engaging, entertaining, and surprisingly educational. You’ll leave with a new appreciation for the art of brewing.Of course, no visit is complete without sampling the beer! The tasting room offers freshly brewed Heineken, and the bartenders are happy to share tips on how to pour the perfect pint.It’s inspiring to see Heineken’s commitment to sustainability, from water conservation to eco-friendly packaging. PROOST!

    A famous attraction that is worth visiting. Today the weather is nice and sunny, with plenty of sunshine, which is suitable for taking pictures. This is a famous windmill attraction. Along the lake path, you can enjoy various windmills, cultural landscapes and some cheese huts. Some windmills are workers and run under the action of wind. I took a lot of photos and enjoyed the picturesque windmill village.

    It is a nice small museum in the heart of Amsterdam, Holland. This museum tells the story of Rembrandt as an artist and how he trained his disciples. There are paintings from Rembrandt himself and from his disciples. It is worth to visit and it does not take a long time to go through the whole museum.
