Haarlem is worth a visit.

Haarlem is located 20 km west of Amsterdam. It is one of the most populous cities in Europe and one of the oldest small cities in the Netherlands. It has been known for its tulips for centuries and is known as the "City of Flowers." Although it is not as bustling as Amsterdam, the Spaarne River flows slowly through Haarlem, bringing vitality to the city. 💜 We set off from Utrecht to Zaanse Schans Windmill Village and stopped here on the way. It was worth it! The Adriaan Windmill, Haarlem City Gate, and St. Bavo's Church are all must-sees, but I would like to recommend a building called Koepelgevangenis, not far from the Adriaan Windmill. It was originally a prison designed by Johan Metzelaar. It closed in 2016 and has now been transformed into a commercial building for both office and leisure use. Some of the original prison cells and building structures have been preserved for visitors to see. It's very interesting. 💥 We were lucky enough to meet a Chinese professor who was teaching here. He explained the building to us in his spare time. The professor believes that this will become another important landmark in Haarlem. 💫 In addition, the Adriaan Windmill is a must-see. More interestingly, there is a bridge with traffic lights next to the windmill. If you are lucky, you can see the bridge open for large ships to pass through. The 800-year-old city gate is also worth a visit. 💗 As for St. Bavo's Church, the ticket is EUR 4. If you want to see the huge organ that young Mozart played, the ticket is worth it. After purchasing the ticket, you will also receive a copy of the Chinese guide, which will help you understand the past and present of St. Bavo's Church. 😸
