At more than 800 meters above sea level, Yutli Mountain is my first stop in Zurich. From the station No. 22 of the Zurich Railway Station, take the S10 to the terminal to reach the top of the mountain, followed by the Swiss who are taking the family to take a walk. Walk along the mountain road for more than ten or twenty minutes, then climb the 30-meter-high steel frame observation tower, the horizon is extremely wide, the entire Zurich city and Lake Zurich are clearly visible, and even further, you can even see the Alps. Magnificent mountain peaks. The fascinating scenery of Switzerland is vividly displayed here between the lush forests, the green pastures sweep down the hillside like a long blanket. The red-roofed cottage is dotted with it - this is a typical mountain town in Switzerland. Swiss people love sports, and Yutley Mountain is clearly the back garden of the local residents of Zurich. All the way, I saw a lot of locals who traveled with the whole family. The young parents were carrying big bags. The children were kneeling on their shoulders or carrying small bags all the way to follow. The lush Yutti hills and grasses were green and the air was excellent. Stopping to be a mountain picnic is also quite good.
