The old capital of Poland, carriage tours, return to the medieval city of Krakow

Krakow is the largest industrial city in southern Poland, located upstream of the Vistula River. It has been the capital of Poland for 300 years in history. The old city has many palaces, castles and churches. After being occupied by the German army during World War II, the Jews in the city were sent to Auschwitz, and all the teachers of Jagiellonian University were killed. The city area served as the base for the Nazi invasion of Poland, so the entire city area is well preserved, unlike WARSAW and WROCLAW which were heavily bombed. Krakow's central square is said to be the largest medieval square in Europe. After seeing a lot of churches and castles, there is visual aesthetic fatigue. ZOFIA taught me to recognize churches of different religions. The style of Catholic churches is gorgeous and majestic, mostly Gothic or Baroque, with statues of the Virgin inside. The top of the Orthodox Church looks like an onion head, and the Protestant church is relatively simple and simple. We rented a carriage for 200PLN. When we were tired, we sat on the beautiful carriage and moved slowly. The sound of horse hooves, coupled with the old buildings of the old city, felt like time was flowing backwards. On the way back to GLIWICE, I visited ZOFIA's parents' house. The old man was 70 years old, very kind, and was doing farm work in the backyard. There was about an acre of land behind the house, planted with various vegetables and fruit trees, similar to China's, cucumbers, broad beans, eggplants, sunflowers, rice beans, tomatoes. As I visited his farm, he kept picking things for me to eat, grapes, plums, raspberries, strawberries. He didn't speak a word of English, but he wanted to say something to me. He spoke for a long time and I didn't understand a word. ZOFIA suggested taking a photo together. The old man immediately took off his dirty coat, clenched his fists, and punched twice with a ha, ha. ZOFIA translated that his father said I looked like JACKY CHAN. I said you all look at all Chinese people the same, just like many Chinese people look at Europeans the same. He also said it's a pity that I came too short this time, otherwise I could have a barbecue in his backyard. I said I wish you a long and healthy life, I will definitely come again in the future.
