Buy a copy of 'The Art of War' at the Paradise Bookstore in the Netherlands

From Trier in Germany to Maastricht in the Netherlands, one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands, located in the southeast of the Netherlands, on the banks of the Maas River, it was occupied by France and Belgium in the 18th century, and belonged to the Netherlands in 1830. The landmark of the town is the St. Servatius Church, which is also the tallest building in the city. As the oldest church in the Netherlands, it was built in the 6th century AD. St. Servatius was the first archbishop of the Netherlands and was buried here in 384 AD. The church still preserves many relics of St. Servatius himself, and there is a bronze statue of him in the backyard. Maastricht also has a business card - the Paradise Bookstore, which was transformed from the Dominican Church with a history of 800 years. The bookstore combines modern elements with Gothic architecture and uses the solemn atmosphere of the church to reflect the sanctity and importance of reading. Unique and harmonious. There are books in various European languages in the bookstore. I didn't see Chinese books, but I saw the English version of 'The Art of War' and the Dutch version of 'Tao Te Ching'. We each bought a beautifully bound 'THE ART OF WAR', which is 'The Art of War', as a souvenir. The price is 20 euros, and the discount is 17.9 euros. The tourists in the bookstore come from all over the world, with different skin colors and languages, gathered in the same place, doing the same thing - reading. Books are not only the ladder of human progress, but also the bridge that connects humans together. Paradise Bookstore Maastricht Design Hotel

Basilica of Saint Servatius

The Sanctuary of St. Serphas in Maastricht is one of the most representative historical buildings in the area, located in Keizer Karelplein, and is full of rich medieval European church style. The sanctuary’s majestic exterior, red brick walls with an elegant bell tower, stunning interior delicate stained glass and ancient stone pillars is an unmissable photo spot when exploring Maastricht. The temple has a long history and a serene atmosphere, and walking in is like being in Europe hundreds of years ago. Suggested route: Enter from the main entrance of the sanctuary, first visit the solemn main hall and feel the towering vaults and ornate altar. If interested in the history of the church, spend a moment admiring the temple’s frescoes, statues and relics, perusing each story. The stained glass windows are a must-see highlight, especially at noon when the sunlight shines through and the colors are very charming. Must-have photo spots: The steps in front of the main hall gate is one of the most beautiful photo spots, with a bell tower background, very European travel feel. Indoors, the stained glass location below the bell tower is recommended, and in front of the main altar. It is recommended to take a panoramic view of the interior of the church to record the solemn atmosphere. Sightseeing tips: It is recommended to arrive as soon as the door opens at 10:00 to avoid more crowded time and make it easier to take a net photo. The church is open year-round, Monday to Saturday 10:00-17:00 and Sunday 11:30-17:00. The visit time is expected to be 30 minutes to 1 hour is enough and can be adjusted according to your interests. Note: The church is a religious place and sometimes there will be religious ceremonies. Avoid flashes when taking photos and respect the atmosphere of the scene. Maastricht St Serphas Temple, suitable for travelers who like historical architecture, religious culture and taking beautiful photos, easy and simple itinerary, highly recommended to put in the Maastricht city center sightseeing route.
