Melk Abbey is a monastery that I like very much. I often imagine the scenes of the nuns moving around in it. It is actually a bit like the deep palace in China, and may not be so free.

There are few people below Melk Abbey, but it is still very lively in the morning market. The various delicacies make you want to drool. You can take a boat tour of the Wachau Valley, or you can visit the monastery leisurely.

Even as someone who doesn’t know much about art, I was stunned by this museum. Every part of it filled with incredible artwork and breathtaking architecture. Art lovers, architecture enthusiasts would definitely enjoy this place. We spent around 2.5 hours exploring and it was absolutely worth it, no regrets at all !

Scanning the QR code at the entrance was quick and easy. The Belvedere Palace's art exhibition spans three floors, enough to easily fill a whole day. The park outside features fountains and sculptures depicting various figures from ancient Greek mythology. I sent photos and pictures of the sculptures to Doubao, and he explained them in detail.
