What is the specialty of Holland?

Wooden shoes are the most national handicrafts in the Netherlands and the epitome of national customs and culture. Now the practical value of Dutch wooden shoes has been greatly reduced, and few people wear them. But it is loved by tourists and becomes a must-buy souvenir, because wooden shoes are cute and look like boats, and can be used as decorations and vases.

2. Dutch cheese

According to the earliest records, Dutch cheese industry began in the 9th century. These cheeses come from Julius and are very popular with Charlemagne. In the Middle Ages, the dairy industry became more and more mature. There are special cheese weighing markets in Haram, Linden and Riverton to control the size of cheese.

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

3. Dutch tulip

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, a beautiful girl lived in a magnificent castle, and three warriors fell in love with her at the same time. One gave her a crown, one gave her a sword, and the other gave her a piece of gold.

But she doesn't love anyone, so she has to pray to the flower god. Knowing that love can't be forced, the flower god turned the crown into a flower, the sword into a green leaf, the gold into a bulb root, and together they became tulips.

4. Dutch windmill

People often call the Netherlands "the country of windmills". The Netherlands is a country in Western Europe with a population of only10 million. Its real country name is Holland. "Ned" means low, and "Lan" means land, which are collectively called "low-lying countries". Only one-third of the Netherlands is at an altitude of 1 m in the North Sea, and nearly one-quarter is below sea level. It is really a veritable "Netherlands".

Dutch windmill, a confusing fairy tale world, rotates, stretches and bends, seemingly static, but in fact it is full of movement, which can be described as a combination of static and dynamic, which can not help but make people daydream.

5. Dutch diamonds

When you come to the Netherlands, you can have a panoramic view of "all kinds of Holland" from classical to modern by just visiting Amsterdam. Dutch diamonds are world-famous, and Kauste Diamond Factory is the most famous diamond factory in the world. The diamonds in Queen Victoria's crown were cut and polished here.
