The City of Falling Angels - Venice

Today I will introduce a city in northern Italy - Venice, Venice is steeped in a thousand years of history,
art and architecture, teeters in precarious balance between endurance and decay.
It is often cited as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

The city stretches across 18 small islands in the marshy along the Adriatic Sea.
Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 18 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon.
The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old center, the canals serve the function of roads,
 and every form of transport is on water or on foot. Venice is Europe's largest urban car free area.

When we arrived at the Venice Train Station, opposite the building of the station is San Simeone Piccolo.
It shows the neoclassical architecture and it is landmark of Venice. Venice is landscape with mystery and charm.
In Carnival of Venice, people use the masks to celebrate the festival in January or February.
There are have many souvenir stores sold masks and there are so gorgeous and expensive.
I desperately tried to take many pictures everywhere and corner, but my photography was terrible that I can't taken down how a beautiful in Venice.
Venice is so amazing that completely blown me away. An American author therefore said Venice is The City of Falling Angels.
Venice just like a splendid feast, it's so beautiful at all times of day or night and all seasons of the year.
Here is Piazza San Marco, Napoleon called the Piazza San Marco is "the finest drawing room in Europe."
Piazza San Marco is a far nicer place for sitting and schmoozing than the average living room or hotel lobby.
What's more, the square is bordered by historic buildings and represents the focal point of Venice's water transport system.

This is a island of Venice, its named Burano, a tradition that may have had its origins in the color schemes of local fishing boats.
Everywhere you look, you'll see houses clad in blue, green, pink, purple, yellow, and other colors.
And because Burano's houses tend to be small, the island has a cheerful coziness. I
t wouldn't be surprising if Burano were used as a model for a family resort at Disney World.
In the night, we found a historic restaurant, it is very famous in local, especially the barbecue and pasta of sea food.
I often looked with an addict's longing at photographs of Italy, Venice is so beautiful and romantic, like no other place in the world!
The sea level is rising in Venice because of the greenhouse effect, so, will Venice submerge? Will the The Leaning Tower of Pisa collapse?
This is most take notice topic than who premier is in Italy.
