Must-see attractions:
🏔️Jungfraujoch: an amazing outdoor sports destination. Believe me, once you get addicted to Jungfraujoch, you will feel the same when you look at any other mountain!
🌊Lake Geneva: Look at this lake, it's like a mirror, so beautiful. The snow-capped mountains ⛰️ and the blue sky 🔵 are so vivid in the photo that the scenery is intoxicating 🍷. Not to mention just looking at it, even taking photos will attract a bunch of 🙋♀️🙋♂️ envy and jealousy when you get home!
🦁Dying Lion Statue: Everyone who has seen it says it’s good! The lion-like crawling appearance is amazing. An arrow in the back? Front paws pressing on the shield? This is not a statue, but a living story! It's full of emotions. People who have experienced it say that if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you won't understand its charm!

🎒 Things to have before your trip:
📱First, about communication tools. When you come to Switzerland, a mobile phone and a phone card are essential. You will need to use your mobile phone for navigation and a local Swiss phone card to connect to the Internet. Don't forget to bring a charger and conversion plug so that you can share your travel photos and wonderful moments anytime, anywhere.
📔Second, the documents. When traveling in Switzerland, everyone needs a valid passport, and the cumbersome visa process is essential. Don't forget to bring your ID card and some essential medicines, just in case.
❄️Third, keep warm in winter. Switzerland is cold and snowy in January. When you come to Switzerland, you will definitely need a thick down jacket, thermal underwear, a hat, gloves and non-slip snow boots so that you can enjoy the winter snow scenery without fear.
