旅の径Cijung Castle, the official Swiss Tourism Board website "Popular Attractions" column ranked top 5. French "chillon", meaning "stone". Located near Montreux, Switzerland, on the shore of Lake Geneva - and the shore of the lake is far from the Sijong Castle on the huge rock (earliest recorded in 1150); Facing the sparkling Lake Geneva, backed by the steep and towering mountains, like a beautiful palace floating on the water, the scenery is infinite; east-west is the water passage of Lake Geneva, north-south is the land passage of the Alps, strategically positioned soldiers coveted. Sitting on the unique advantages of beautiful scenery and stylish roads, the owners and functions of the castle of Siyong have changed a lot. For a long time, it was the residence of the Earl of Sava and the lucrative toll booths, then the arms warehouse, sometimes the strategic fortress, sometimes the judicial prison... and finally became public property. The view of the castle plank road on both sides of the lake, a simple covered bridge connecting the land, the towering city walls around, 25 independent buildings of different shapes, three simple and exquisite courtyards, more than 40 rich open exhibition rooms... The lake and mountains and the high spires are reflected in each other, the grandeur and the traces of the years complement each other, and the charming scenery is refreshing.
