I prefer Giethoorn recommended by National Geographic to Zhoucun.

The name "Geytenhorn" comes from the fact that people unearthed the horns of many wild goats that were damaged by floods in the area (a large number of wild goat horns that may have been left during the flood were found), so the area was named Geytenhorn, which is the dialect. Evolved into Giethoorn. In Dutch, horn also means "a protruding land corner in the water". Giethoorn is known for its unique waterway system and beautiful countryside. The buildings here mainly adopt the traditional Dutch style, with wooden structures, pointed roofs and colorful exterior walls forming the unique style of this water town. There are no roads here, with canals and boats as the main modes of transportation, and many houses are connected by boats or small bridges. Unique wooden bridges and houses surrounded by gardens create picturesque views over the water. Although it is called the "Venice of the North", unlike Venice, which is crowded with tourists, Giethoorn has always maintained a quiet lifestyle, like a paradise, existing without competition from the world. Take a boat ride through the village, Unconsciously slowing down, As if afraid of disturbing this rare tranquility, Everyone on the boat talked softly, Quietly admiring the beautiful scenery around you, Everything seemed to blend into God’s watercolor painting. The houses built along the coast have a unique flavor. Traditional Dutch chalet and farmhouse style, The roof is covered with golden reeds, Shining warmly under the sunlight. Come and encounter this fairyland-like beauty! First, we came to the world-famous Windmill Village. These ancient windmills stand quietly among the fields, seeming to tell a thousand years of history. In the gentle swaying of the windmill, we felt the harmony of nature. Then, we walked into the colorful wooden shoe village. Pairs of exquisite wooden shoes seemed to let us see the diligence and wisdom of the Dutch. In the museum in Amsterdam, we saw the Dutch painting art. The works of those masters are fascinating. In addition to history and culture, the natural beauty of the Netherlands is not to be missed. Imagine that we are taking a boat, shuttling between the canals, admiring the pastoral scenery, and enjoying the tranquility and peace. And those amazing canal bridges add a touch of color to this water town. Of course, you can’t miss the delicious Dutch food. We sampled local snacks such as sausages, cheese and chips, which gave us a unique taste of the Netherlands. As the sun set, we stood on the beach and looked at the Netherlands under the setting sun. Our hearts were filled with love and respect for this land. This is the Netherlands, a place full of wonders and surprises.
