Cai Jiahao said: This is a country that surprises people everywhere, with its small territory allowing tourists to easily explore. In the distant northern mountains, there are scattered, precarious little stone houses. The big cities boast impressive architecture, from the 12th century to contemporary buildings, all of which are pleasing to the eye. In the south, Porto, despite claiming to be a modern metropolis, still exhibits an indelible medieval character. It is home to many historically significant buildings, such as the Porto Cathedral and the Monastery of Serra do Pilar, and is also a hub for wine, with the quality and sweet Porto wine being hailed as Portugal's "first ambassador." In contrast, the capital Lisbon seems like a wild child, making it easy for everyone to feel its vibrant atmosphere, with its ruggedness and lack of fuss leaving a deep impression. Nearby towns such as Coimbra, Sintra, and Tomar are steeped in enchanting history.
Fay (Beijing): Byron once wrote in "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage": "Look! Sintra, located between the dappled labyrinth of hills and valleys, is a beautiful Eden." Sintra, located about 32 kilometers northwest of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is a place that one will fall in love with at first sight. Its beautiful geographical environment, complemented by ancient castles, fills the area with endless charm.
Green Singing Tour (Hangzhou): Before this trip, I read many travel guides here, all of which were very detailed, and the public transportation in Lisbon is very convenient. The locals are also very warm and friendly, making it a pleasant and relaxing experience to travel here. This is my first time in Europe, and I find that in terms of architecture, I prefer this place over the United States. I hope to have the opportunity to travel all over Europe in the future.
Ping Ping Tan Tan said: Lisbon is a place that requires one to completely calm down in order to truly experience and appreciate it. If you come here with the restlessness of Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen, or even Hong Kong, then Lisbon is not suitable for you. The urban area of Lisbon is not large, making it a very walkable city, especially in the golden autumn of October, when the Mediterranean climate paints the sky a deep blue, and the dry air refreshes the body and mind. Interspersed among the buildings are parks and cafes.
