Luxembourg: The First Impression of the "Country of a Thousand Castles"

Luxembourg is the only remaining Grand Duchy on the European continent, with its capital being Luxembourg City. It is a member state of the European Union. Due to its small size and abundance of castles, it is often referred to as the "pocket-sized kingdom" or similar titles.

The Luxembourg Grand Canyon, also known as Pétrusse Valley, runs east to west, approximately 100 meters wide and 60 meters deep, naturally dividing Luxembourg City into new and old districts to the south and north. Standing at Constitution Square, one can view the magnificent scenery of the canyon and its banks, where towering trees with various growth directions emerge from the canyon walls, perfectly interpreting the wild beauty of nature.
The Grand Ducal Palace (Luxembourgish: Groussherzogleche Palais, French: Palais grand-ducal, German: Großherzogliches Palais) is a palace located in the southern part of Luxembourg. It is the official residence of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg and also the place where he exercises his duties as the head of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Located on the defensive walls along the Alzette River in the Grund district, it is hailed as the 'most beautiful balcony in Europe.' Once featuring steep steps, the outer protective wall was removed after losing its defensive function, forming a gently sloping 360-degree viewing platform that offers a panoramic view of the beautiful Grund Valley.
This is the oldest historical site within the city of Luxembourg, located on the edge of the gorge in the old town. It is a military fortress carved and built into the hillside. Inside, you can not only admire the original underground works and artillery platforms from that time, but also find detailed introductions about the fortress and some historical artifacts on display. It is an important site for understanding the military history of Luxembourg.
Because of the golden statue of the goddess, Chinese people habitually refer to Constitution Square as the Little Golden Man Square. At two corners of Constitution Square are the underground entrances to the Petrusse Casemates and the Beck Casemates. Opposite the square is the Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Adolphe Bridge, one of the outstanding architectural structures in Europe and a landmark of Luxembourg, was built in the late 19th to early 20th century. It is a magnificent stone viaduct spanning the Luxembourg Gorge. The bridge connects the new and old districts of Luxembourg, offering beautiful distant views from the bridge.
