The Hague is the capital and government seat of Amsterdam, which means "the count's fence" from the village to the king's city in Dutch. 13rd century, it used to be the hunting palace of nobles. For a long time, The Hague was just an obscure village. /kloc-In the 6th century, several northern provinces established the Republic of China, and several cities argued endlessly about the seat of government. The Hague, which had no political influence, finally became a compromise choice and became the political center of the Netherlands. Parliament, royal family and foreign missions are all here, so The Hague is called "the city of kings". What makes The Hague famous in the world is the Peace Palace, the seat of the International Court of Justice. The Peace Palace was built in the early 20th century. During the construction period, governments around the world donated building materials and displayed handicrafts to show the intention of building peace together. However, the year after the Peace Palace was built, World War I broke out. Later, the Dutch government dedicated the Peace Palace to the League of Nations and the United Nations. In the interview in The Hague, cars passed through the city, and buildings with different styles were hidden among the green trees, as if we were walking through the forest. The current Queen's residence is also in The Hague. This fairy-tale castle is called "a mansion in the forest". As 700 years ago, The Hague still has no factories and no pollution. No wonder it is called the largest and most elegant village in Europe. At dusk, there are few pedestrians in the street, and there are only three or two guests in the bar by the sea. The whole city is a little quiet. Perhaps this is the elegance and tranquility that The Hague has enjoyed as a political center for centuries, providing an atmosphere for people who work here to think. Amsterdam, the ancient water capital, is different from The Hague, which was once unknown. Amsterdam has unlimited scenery in history. In the17th century, it was once the most important port in Europe. /kloc-Amsterdam became the capital of the Netherlands in the early 20th century. When Napoleon's brother Louis was the king of the Netherlands, it became the capital and government seat for the first and only time. This time is very short. After Napoleon's defeat, The Hague once again became the administrative center of the Netherlands. Although Amsterdam is not like the capital, it has irresistible charm. Because most areas are below sea level, the buildings in the whole city are supported by millions of wooden stakes coated with black oil, and seawalls and pumping equipment ensure the safety of the city. Only here can you feel the pride of what the Dutch call "God created the ocean and the Dutch created the land". Large and small waterways crisscross, and more than a thousand bridges have different styles, which is a landscape of "Venice in the North". Rows of houses on both sides of the canal are old and lovely, mostly17th century buildings. The Dutch are extremely tall, with the average height of men and women reaching1.87m and1.78m respectively, but the doors of these buildings are very narrow. It is said that this is related to the ancient law that decided how much to pay taxes according to the size of the door. These narrow doors, ancient windmills that can be seen from time to time, the fragrance of turmeric in the air and simple wooden shoes make Amsterdam a classic Dutch city. The Dutch say that their city is very close, but it has its own characteristics. Indeed, the two central cities in the Netherlands give people a completely different feeling: The Hague is quiet and full of green; Amsterdam has a distinctive personality and a strong historical atmosphere.
