Potsdam (07 May 2013)

Taking S-Bahn only less than 40 minutes to get Potsdam from Berlin Hbf. In Potsdam, the most famous attraction is Schloss Sanssouci. If you come here to visit by yourself, you can feel "sonssouci" truly. "Sanssouci" is Franch, which means "without worries". It was built in 1745~1747 by Frederick the Great, King of Prussia. It's a building with Rococo style. In Park Sanssouci, there are so many other palaces to see, so if you come, you can spend a whole day here in this park.

Potsdam Hbf

In front of the station, you'll see these buses stopping by here.





Altes Rathaus and Potsdam Museum


Nikolaikirche, the church in front of Rathaus



What is it?

Filmmuseum Potsdam, there's also a film school inside, but it's under construction.

look at the dressing of those kids


Sankt Peter und Paul

Brandenburger Straße




On the north side of Brandenburger Straße, you'll get Holländisches Viertel, means the Holland area. The buildings here are quite different from Germany. Although I haven't been to Holland, but I believe it must be very charming!



Neuener Tor

Brandenburger Straße, the shopping area.

Brandenburger Tor, it´s the one in Potsdam, different from the one in Berlin.

Walking through Brandenburger Tor, you´ll reach the area of Park Sanssouci.

Oh~~ there you are! Schloss Sanssouci

It would be more beautiful if you come here in Summer since the leaves will bloom then.

Uh.... sorry I forgot this one...

a wall in a room with Chinese style. They said that Frederick II liked Eastern culture very much, and that's why he built a building called Chinesisches Teehaus. (you'll see it later.)




The decorations of this room is very special!!


Frederick II


Next to Schloss Sanssoucci is a windmill. Actually it was the first time that I was so close to the windmill!!











Along Western side, you'll see a palace called Orangerie.





Friedrich Wilhelm IV


You need to wear the slippers like this inside the palace~!!















Orangerie


Next, I went to visit the one I've said before, the Chinesisches Teehaus. But actually the decorations are totally different from the true Chinese........ Only the "things" is true, but the style was far from the truth!



Is it 嗩吶?

古箏?

drinking tee, and the dressing is similar to the truth.

鑼鼓?

響板



Tambourine 鈴鼓









After the Chinese, time to go to Rome. I went to visit Römische Bäder.

WOW~~~ It's so colorful and beautiful!!


I don't know what it is.

taking bath!!!!!






Near the Bäder, there´s another Schloss, Schloss Charlottenhof.













the last supper


the tent room





In the end, I went to Neuen Palais. Unfortunately, it was closed on Tuesday...... so I only saw it on the outside...T^T But...It's okay, because I was totally confused about everything about all palaces........





It's another building in front of Neuen Palais. Do you know what it is?

Kolonnade am Neuen Palais, which means campus in Neuen Palais.
Campus? The "campus" in school?
Yes, definitely! Can you believe it's part of Universität Potsdam!!!???
I mean, I just can't at all...!!!


IT IS SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!


inside the campus


Potsdam is a nice and quiet place to go if you have enough visiting in Berlin, such a noisy and big city. So if you want a peaceful and silent day when you're in Berlin, Potsdam will be a good choice.
