is situated between the Jura Range and the Alps on the western end of Lake
Geneva. Capital of Peace is one of its names—the European headquarters of the
United Nations lies here in Palais des Nations. Another worthy name for this
city with a humanitarian tradition (人道主义传统) and international
character is the World's Smallest Metropolis. Parks, splendid stores and lively
streets in the old part of town and its 2 000-year history wait to be
discovered.
The Jet
d’Eau together with the Flower Watch is おthe main attractions every year for the tourists visiting
Geneva. The Jet d'Eau has become the symbol (象征) of Geneva for a long
time. This is a 140 meters high water monument with a rich history. Eight 13
500-watt projectors light the grand column (圆柱) of the fountain in
the evening, from early March until the second Sunday of October. The Flower
Watch, which was created at the edge of the English Garden in 1955, reminds us
about that Geneva is the birthplace of the Swiss clock and watch making, and
that this industry has become internationally famous, as well through the
quality of the watches as through their beautiful appearance.
Sails on
Lake Geneva are also enjoyable. The Lake of Geneva, lying among the Alps, is a
true inland sea, making possible a wide range of pleasant boat trips, you can
relax and watch the beautiful scenes pass by.
