1. Dutch wooden shoes

Wooden shoes are the most national handicrafts in the Netherlands and the epitome of national customs and culture. Nowadays, the practical value of Dutch wooden shoes has been greatly reduced, and few people wear them. However, they are loved by tourists and become a must-buy souvenir, because the wooden shoes are cute in shape and look like a boat, which can be used as decorations and vases.

2. Dutch cheese

According to the earliest records, the Dutch cheese industry began in the 9th century. These cheeses are produced in Hurisse and enjoyed by the court of Charlemagne. In the Middle Ages, the dairy industry became more and more mature. There were special cheese weighing markets in Hallam, Linden and Livorden to regulate the size of cheese.

Early Dutch cheeses are particularly well preserved. They are not easy to deteriorate and easy to transport, so they are transported to Germany by land and even to the Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea and beyond by sea.

3. Tulip in the Netherlands

Tulip is the most widely planted flower in the Netherlands and the national flower of the Netherlands. It symbolizes beauty, solemnity, luxury and success.

There is a legend about the origin of tulips in Holland. In ancient times, there was a beautiful girl who lived in a magnificent castle. Three warriors fell in love with her at the same time. One gave her a crown, the other a sword and the other a piece of gold.

but she doesn't love anyone, so she has to pray to the flower god. Deeply aware that love can't be forced, the flower god turned the crown into flowers, the sword into green leaves, and the gold into a bulb root, which together became a tulip.

4. Windmills in the Netherlands

People often call the Netherlands "the country of windmills". The Netherlands is a country with a population of only over 1 million in western Europe. Its real country name is "Netherlands". "Ned" means low, "Lan" means land, which is collectively called "low-lying country". One-third of the Netherlands is only 1 meter above the sea level of the North Sea, and nearly one-quarter is below the sea level, which is really a veritable "Netherlands".

The Dutch windmill, a fairy tale world, is confusing, rotating, extending and bending, seemingly static, but full of movement. It can be said that there is movement in the static, movement in the static and dynamic integration, which can't help but make people daydream.
