Kinderdijk, the Windmill Village on the dike, is considered an excellent choice for tourists visiting the Netherlands and Rotterdam. Located 10 kilometers southeast of Rotterdam, this place preserves 19 windmills built in the 1740s and has been listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Kinderdijk can be said to be a witness to Dutch history and culture, and a typical representative of Dutch scenery. The windmill group here is very spectacular and leaves a deep impression on people.
