Treasure Hunt all over the World

The Grand Place in Brussels is actually not big, it can even be said to be very pocket-sized.

It is only 110 meters long and less than 70 meters wide, far from being able to compare with those magnificent famous squares, such as Tiananmen Square!

The reason why this square is famous, lingering, and even full of praise is because of its long history and the forty or so buildings around the square that were built in the Middle Ages and have different styles!

Over the past few hundred years, countless wonderful stories that have happened in this square and many famous historical figures who have left their marks here have added a strong historical charm and humanistic atmosphere to this square.

Connected to this square are six ancient and narrow alleys.

Through these ancient alleys, people can start from various places in the old city of Brussels and converge on this square, just like a river flowing into the sea.

At this time, Ye Tian and the others were standing at the entrance of an alley north of the Grand Place in Brussels, admiring the so-called most beautiful square in Europe, their eyes were full of fascination!

In Brussels at the end of July and beginning of August, the sun is shining and the temperature is suitable, which is the peak tourist season.

Coupled with the upcoming "Flower Carpet Festival" in early August, many tourists from all over the world flock here.

Standing at the entrance of the alley and looking around, the square is full of black heads and excited tourists everywhere, rubbing shoulders and buzzing with people.

Especially in front of the row of Louis XIV-style buildings on the east side of the square, it is even more lively!

A temporary stage was set up there, on which an art troupe was performing live, and the audience stood around the stage, everyone was full of enthusiasm, applause and cheers continued, one after another!

This square is also like many other tourist areas. There are many tourist souvenir shops, which are full of tourist souvenirs. It is estimated that many things are produced in China!

Small merchants and hawkers selling tourist souvenirs can be seen everywhere on the square, all of them are eloquent, trying their best to confuse tourists from all over the world.

Of course, there are also many thieves here.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, Ye Tian saw seven or eight sneaky guys with erratic eyes, always staring at other people's pockets and backpacks!

Among them are black buddies, Slavs from Eastern Europe, Arabs from the Middle East and North Africa, plus thieves from Belgium and other parts of Europe.

The targets of these guys are those tourists from all over the world who linger here, many of whom are from China.

From the moment he left the hotel until he walked into the Grand Place, Ye Tian had already seen no less than four groups of tourist groups from China, and the number of compatriots scattered all over the square was even more!

Fortunately, everyone is generally quite cautious. When visiting this famous square, they all put their backpacks on their chests, guarding against each other, lest they be targeted by thieves.

Obviously, before coming to the Grand Place in Brussels, the tour guides who led the group had repeatedly told everyone to be careful of the thieves here.

Many of the tourists with nervous expressions probably have already suffered from this aspect, and they have a long memory. They know that the security situation in Europe is far from comparable to that in China!

Even so, some of these tourists will definitely be tricked and become the target of thieves to steal, or even become the target of robbery!

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, but be afraid of thieves thinking about it!

Now thieves all over Europe are staring at the wallets of Chinese tourists, wanting to make a fortune on Chinese tourists, and the thieves in Brussels are no exception!

After a quick glance at the situation in the square, Louis asked aloud:

"Steven, where are you going to visit first? Or line up to visit the sights one by one along the order of the various attractions on the square?"

Ye Tian withdrew his gaze from a distance,

Then he smiled and said:

"There is not much time this morning, so let's not visit one by one, first go to see the sculpture of Julien the Pissing Boy, and then visit the former residence of the great writer Hugo!

When we come out of Hugo's former residence, it should be lunch time. I have already reserved a table at the Swan Restaurant. Let's go to the Swan Restaurant to have lunch and take a tour there.

Next, we should go back to the hotel to rest. After all, we have just had a long flight. Although we are not very tired, it is better to rest for a while to relieve the jet lag.

The Grand Place in Brussels is always here. After everyone has rested and fully recovered, come and visit this famous square carefully. There is plenty of time, so don’t worry! "

"Okay, Steven, the sculpture of Julien the Piss is in the southwest corner of the square, and I'll take you there. In the meantime, I can tell you a story about the Grand Place in Brussels"

Louis nodded slightly and raised his hand to gesture towards the southwest corner of the square.

Afterwards, while listening to Louis's explanation, everyone admired the distinctive buildings and beautiful scenery around them, strolled on the Grand Place in Brussels, and walked to the southwest corner of the square.

Taylor and Lisa, who were in charge of security, and Walker, who was hidden in the crowd, were all on high alert at this time, keeping a close eye on the surrounding situation, ready to respond at any time.

Of course, those Belgian policemen in plain clothes still followed closely behind Ye Tian and the others, step by step, not daring to relax at all.

"The ground of the Grand Place in Brussels is all paved with granite, which is plain during the day, but once it gets dark, it will reflect the lights of the surrounding buildings, making the whole square look like it is floating on the water!

The building on our right is the Brussels City Hall, a typical ancient Flemish Gothic building with a magnificent shape, ethereal towering, and eye-catching. This building was built in 1402 and has a long history.

The towering Gothic spire in the center of the city hall is 91 meters high and is the tallest Gothic building in Belgium. At the top of the bell tower, there is a sculpture of St. Michel slaying the dragon,... "

On the way to the southwest corner of the square, Louis kept explaining to everyone the buildings next to him and the scenery he saw along the way. It was very detailed, much better than professional tour guides and commentators!

Walk past the magnificent Brussels City Hall and walk a few steps forward, and you will come to the famous Swan Restaurant.

This is a five-storey building standing side by side with the Brussels City Hall and at the corner of the square. It is named after a white swan with wings spread out on the lintel.

Since everyone will come to this famous restaurant for dinner at noon and carefully visit the building where the "Communist Manifesto" was born, Louis did not give a detailed introduction.

He only introduced the time when the building was built, those historical figures once lived here, and then introduced the sculpture of Engels not far ahead, and that's it.

The building next to the Swan Restaurant is the former residence of the great writer Hugo in Brussels.

Victor Hugo, a great French writer, escaped from France because he opposed the Brumaire coup. He arrived in Brussels at about the same time as Marne and lived on the second floor of this building.

For this famous former residence of celebrities, Louis only briefly introduced a few words, and everyone walked in front of the building.

Not far forward, everyone came to an alley in the southwest corner of the square, and followed Louis into this ancient alley.

Before and after Ye Tian and his group, there were many other tourists strolling forward, everyone was full of interest and expectation.

The goal of everyone's trip is the same, and that is the Manneken Pis sculpture located in this alley.

When passing through two intersections in a row and approaching the third intersection, Ye Tian and the others looked up and saw a group of tourists gathered at the intersection ahead, all holding up their cameras or mobile phones, taking pictures there.

At this moment, Louis' voice came to everyone's ears again.

"Steven, here we are, in front of you is the statue of Yu Lian, the first citizen of Brussels!"
