The plane first arrived in Paris, France in the evening, and then stayed at the airport for a while before transferring to another Lisbon Airline plane and arriving in Lisbon at 9 o'clock on the 28th.

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is located in the west of the country. It is bounded by the Sintra Mountains to the north and the Tagus River to the south. It is less than 12 kilometers away from the Atlantic Ocean. It is the westernmost city on the European continent. Affected by the warm Atlantic current, the climate here is good and there are no winters.

It is frozen and not hot in summer. It is sunny and windy most of the year, warm as spring, comfortable and pleasant, so it is also the most livable city in Portugal. Lisbon is not only an industrial city, but also a famous tourist city in Europe, hosting thousands of tourists every year

The number of tourists can basically exceed 1 million.

There is only one Portela Airport in Lisbon. After coming out of the airport, Li Zhao acted as a guide. He was very familiar with this city that he came to every year when he was a child.

After getting off the plane, Li Zhao called his family first and learned that they would also leave this afternoon and would probably have to wait until tomorrow night to arrive here. And Li Zhao was not in a hurry to go to his uncle's house right away, so

Then he took Li Ruolan to slowly explore the scenery.

"Xiao Zhao, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with this place. It seems like you don't want to go abroad often!" Li Ruolan said. She was also very surprised that Li Zhao could talk so eloquently about the environment and scenery here.

"Sister Lan, you really flatter me. Apart from country C, this is the only city in other countries that I can get familiar with, and I happened to meet you today. By the way, you have never been here before.

Right?" Li Zhao said.

"Yes. This is indeed a coincidence. Speaking of Europe, I have been to many cities, such as Paris, London, Berlin, Athens in Greece and other places, as well as Madrid, Spain, which is the closest to here, but only

Portugal was missed." Li Ruolan sighed.

"Maybe this is fate. God specially reserved me to fill this gap for you, so today I will take my wife to visit Sibon!" Li Zhao said.

"Who is your wife? I didn't admit it!" Li Ruolan rolled her eyes.

"Okay, we've already been like this, don't you admit it?" Li Zhao said.

"Even so, we haven't received official recognition. Not to mention that my parents won't agree, but I still don't know how your parents will react." Li Ruolan said worriedly.

"Does other people's recognition matter? I am living with you. Besides, I am still sure that my parents will be settled." Li Zhaodao.

"Anyway, the matter between you and me is now like this, and there is no way out. You have to fight hard, otherwise I will not let you go." Li Ruolan said.

"Okay, you'll be in peace now that you're here. Don't think about these things now, just follow me and have fun." After Li Zhao comforted her, he officially entered his role as a tour guide: "When it comes to the attractions here, there are some that are indispensable.

Monuments and monuments are also a major feature of Lisbon. Today I will take you to visit some of the most important places. My tour route is from north to south, and finally I arrived at the beach by the Tejo River before dinner. My uncle

My home is right there." Li Zhao said.

The first thing we came to was São Jorge Castle, which is located on the top of Alfama Mountain, the highest of the seven mountains in Lisbon. Part of the walls of the castle were built by the Visigoths. The Tejo River flows around the walls, acting as a warning.

Function. This castle is the most important historical monument and tourist attraction in Lisbon. It is also an excellent viewing point from a height overlooking the city and the wide Tejo River. Here people can better appreciate the architectural art of the city, whether it is from futurism to

The castle and suspension bridge, as well as the open-air ruins of the Camo Church in the center of the city, can all be seen at a glance.

Along the castle, there is a medina-like neighborhood with narrow, maze-like streets. It also has a unique name called Alfama. It was already noon when they arrived here, so the two of them ate here.

Had lunch.

The first stop after the meal was the Jeronimos Monastery. The structure of the monastery is a Latin cross with short horizontal length and long vertical length. The entire exterior is made of polished white granite, which makes it look particularly tall and holy.

"Jeronimos Monastery, also known as Jeronimos Cathedral, is an architectural art treasure of Portugal in its heyday. It was built to commemorate the Portuguese's discovery of the sea route to India. It has experienced 500 years of construction.

Wind and rain. It is said that the cathedral is the church of the 14th king of Portugal. Manuel I ordered that it be built with 5% of the tax collected from spices and gold jewelry. The Portuguese poetry soul card is also buried in the cathedral.

Mons, the famous navigator Vasco da Gama and the most famous writer Erculano." Li Zhao explained some of the historical origins of this church while walking.

"I don't see that you still have the potential to be a tour guide. If you stop playing football one day, you can consider working part-time." Li Ruolan joked with a smile.

"Okay, I just want to be more familiar with this area. If I run any further, I'll have to take the lead from you." Li Zhao said.

The cathedral is quite big, and I walked around for a while before going back outside.

"Okay, now we are going to take the most special old-fashioned tram here and go to the next location." Li Zhao said.

After finishing their visit to the monastery, the two took an old-fashioned tram and slowly shuttled through the city, and finally got off at the platform near the Maritime Monument.

The Navigation Monument was built in 1960. It is located near the Belem Tower and stands on the square on the coast. It looks quite impressive. There is a world map engraved on the ground in front of the monument, which marks the date of the discovery of the New World. Climb to the top of the monument.

You can overlook the nearby scenery and harbor style.

"Now this monument has become a symbol of Portugal. It was built to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the death of Henry the Navigator. Do you think it looks like a ship with a huge sail spread out? The monument is engraved with the names of Henry and 80 other sailors.

Statue. The one standing on the bow of the ship is Prince Henry, next to him is Vasco da Gama, and behind him are some navigators and famous generals, missionaries and scientists in Portuguese history." Li Zhao said while pulling her along.

All the way to the top of the monument.

"You look more and more like this. It can be seen that you have a good impression of this place." Li Ruolan said.

"Yes, I was born here, and I often come back here to visit. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is my second hometown. And both Vasco da Gama and Magellan were pioneers in the history of human navigation. Even Columbus first

The one I want to serve is also the Portuguese royal family. Although Portugal has long since declined, I actually still admire the country that was the first to start the Age of Discovery.

Even now, this small European country is still emerging with all kinds of talents, and it is also passed down. This is also true in the football field. Mourinho, my cousin Figo and now Cristiano Ronaldo are all like this. This is the case.

The spirit of continuous exploration is the most worthy of our learning, and it is also a major reason why I like this city." Li Zhao also revealed his heart.

"You are really unique. You have ideas and ambitions, and you can work hard consistently. This is probably why I like you. Hey, do you think we will meet someone like you when we walk like this?

An acquaintance." Li Ruolan said.

"You're talking about my uncle's family. It's not impossible, but I guess it's more likely that I'll meet my aunt. Everyone else is busy, so it's unlikely that we'll meet here. But there is also a possibility

You may meet your cousin here. If he is in Lisbon, he will sometimes go to the Belém Tower in front for a stroll." Li Zhao said.

"Then what are you waiting for? Among the football stars, we are heading towards our last location today." Li Ruolan said.

The Tower of Belém stands on the north bank of the Tejo River. It is the most classic landmark building in the Portuguese port and a symbol of Lisbon. It is listed as a World Cultural Heritage. This is an ancient castle with a history of nearly 500 years and has also witnessed the past of Lisbon.

of brilliance.

It has been used as a customs house, telegraph station, and even a lighthouse in history. It has also used storage rooms to transform into dungeons and prisons. In the Age of Discovery, it was also the starting point for navigators.

The entire tower is made of white marble and is a typical Manueline-style building. The tower is surrounded by stone ropes, dotted with stone knots, crosses and some stone carvings of animals and plants. The stone rhinoceros at the base is quite attractive.

It attracts people's attention and was built to highlight the achievements of Portuguese navigators in exploring overseas.

As the sun set, the two of them strolled under the Belém Tower, which had a unique charm. It was very pleasant to feel the warm sea breeze caressing their faces by the harbor.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked towards them and caught their attention, and the other party also saw them at the same time.

"Cousin, I didn't expect to see you here." Li Zhao said happily.

The person who came was none other than Figo. When he saw Li Zhao and Li Ruolan, he stopped in his tracks. He looked over Li Ruolan's body and then praised: "Not bad, Xiao Zhao. I didn't expect that I would have a girlfriend."

Yes, you have changed a lot, you have indeed grown up."

"Cousin, are you laughing at me? I'm still underage." Li Zhao said awkwardly.

"That's the concept of your country C, but in our Western countries, this situation is normal. For example, some athletes are already the father of their children when they are only 18 years old. Like this one, don't know what to call him? It doesn't matter.

, you can call me cousin like him." Figo said.

"Uh, hello, cousin, my name is Li Ruolan, you can call me Xiaolan." Li Ruolan said.
