Winding along the ancient Panshan road, the sun leaked from the leaves of the broadleaved forest beside the road, and the light beam was scattered on the mountain road, mottled and bright. Halfway up the mountain, a long and narrow footbridge straddles a deep cliff, which is breathtaking. Turning a corner, Swan Castle suddenly appeared in front of us. She stood on the top of the mountain, graceful and radiant.
Since then, the curtain has been opened, and tourists exploring secluded places have stepped into a dreamlike fairyland.
Standing in front of the Swan Castle in Fu Sen, under the blue sky, the white castle is as pure and elegant as a swan spreading its wings, which makes people sigh that this scene should only exist in the sky.
This castle was built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who is the cousin of Princess Sisi. After the sudden death of the old king, 18-year-old Ludwig II ascended the throne in a hurry. Since then, the young king's life has been full of Don Quixote's tragic fate. He has no interest in politics, but he is an artistic genius and idolizes the musician Wagner. He is a love perfectionist. He failed to pursue Princess Sisi. After he broke off his engagement with the Austrian princess, he never got married and devoted himself to the design and construction of the castle.
1869 inspired and moved by Wagner's opera, Ludwig II carefully designed a blueprint of the castle according to the description of the castle where Snow White lived in the opera, and personally supervised the construction. Together with the scenery designer and stage designer of the theater, he drew countless sketches, integrating the castle with the natural landscape, and creating a dreamy fairyland on earth in the shadow of clear lakes and faint valleys.
However, this expensive castle was unanimously opposed by the whole country. It is difficult for people to understand his paranoid life and think that the king is crazy. 1886, 4 1 year-old Ludwig II was deposed by his subjects. Three days later, he was found dead in the river near the castle Until now, the cause of his death is still a mystery. Leaving this dream castle in the mountains and lakes has become a permanent memory in the hearts of Bavarians.
After the continuous expansion of later generations, Swan Castle presents the form of mutual protection of one tower and many towers, and is known as "the most beautiful castle in Europe". Now the Swan Castle is as magnificent as it was a hundred years ago, with gold-inlaid decorations and gorgeous furnishings everywhere. Looking out from the window of the castle, the lakes and mountains in the Alps silently guard this fresh and refined world as always.
Swan Castle is proudly alone, with a layer of romance like a prince and princess and a layer of narcissistic loneliness.
Now, swans fall into the mortal world, and millions of people visit here every year. In order to protect the castle, visitors are not allowed to walk around after entering the castle. Instead, we should visit in order according to the route arranged by the manager in advance. Everywhere, tourists will hear stories about Ludwig II. His life is magnificent and lonely. Persistent and sad, after more than 100 years, every tourist can still feel his dream, loneliness and sadness through this fairy tale castle.
