11.02.2007 10 °C
Today the weather was very nice, not only sunny, but also warm.
After taking wonderful breakfast in the hotel, we drove to the city park.
It was a very big park, and there were many famous peoples' statuaries. Actually, this should be a very beautiful park, but in winter, there were not many colorful flowers and green leaves, so it made the park look not enough nice. However, we still could find many people coming here, and enjoying the sunshine.
Well, in this park, i found some people sitting around on the ground, guess what they were doing? ---They were making Fa Lun Gong!!! I was very surprised to see that, and among them, there were some chinese people. But my honey did not know about the evil belief, even never heard it, so for him, it was a very normal scene.
This is the statue of Johann Strauss.
He is the famous composer whose music is being played every year at Vienna's New Year Concert.
This is a theater in the city park, very beautiful...
This is Beethoven's statuary.
I like the Ad hanging on the theater,haha...
I never heard the name of this man, but my honey said he was very famous person in Austria, so I went to take a picture with 'him', haha...
This church is really very beautiful, not only its outside, but also the inside. that was the reason why we took so many pictures of it from different angles.
In the church, there is a lift to let the visitors get the top of it to appreciate those nice paintings...
In such a holy church, i wanted to pray for my happy marriage, and wished my honey and me could love each other forever...
These wall paintings are very beautiful...
Vienna Opera house.
This is an expensive Cafe which named Cafe Mozart, we had a short break there, and ordered two cups of Capuchino, really very good!
Haha, I happend to find there was a small interesting booth which selling many different sex magazines on the street, had to admit a fact that the western people are much more open-minded than our chinese.
Shopping always is the fav thing that all girls like to do...
This is also a popular Cafe which has long history, but the food here is just so so...
My honey looked like so professional, haha...
But when i pour the beer into the glass cup, almost can not see the beer, only the foam. It made my honey have a big laugh at me, and then showed me how to pour the beer.
This is museum square with the Natural History Museum on the right and the Museum of Arts on the left.
In between is a statue of Maria Theresa, an excellent Empress of Austria. Under her reign Austria prospered and so people still remember her until today.
BTW she had 16 children!
So cute elephant...
The Museum of Arts.
In the kingdom treasure museum, there are many valuable things. Here also did not allow to take pictures, but still some people, including my honey wanted to try without the flash, even though we knew the quality is not good...
In the museum, we can find many this kind of beautiful lamps...
At the out of the kingdom treasure museum...
Window shopping is also an very interesting thing for me, haha...
In the shopping center...
The street performers were playing the strange musical instruments...
It is a very big and old church which Sisi once got married here...
My honey told me these were lucky candles, so i baught one and lighted it, while was praying in my heart...
Window shopping again, like those cute bears...
An old restaurant again, also locates in the deep ground.
This time we ordered the typical Austrian farmer food...
