Introduction

Warsaw is a city with over 700 years of history. Despite 85% of its buildings being destroyed by the ravages of war, today's Warsaw is full of youthful vitality. Amidst the beautifully reconstructed buildings, green lawns, tall trees, and colorful flowers emit a beautiful atmosphere. Warsaw is one of the cities in the world with the highest amount of green space per capita. The Vistula River flows quietly through the city, adding infinite beauty. A 4-meter high bronze statue of a mermaid by the Vistula Riverbank is Warsaw's emblem and pride. The mermaid has romantic jellyfish hair, a naked nubile woman's body and a beautiful carp tail. She holds a sword in her right hand, a shield in her left, and leaps over the waves with a dignified, majestic, and elegant face that represents the city's symbol.
