Kyoto is a famous Buddhist capital with about 164 1 temples. The population is about 6.5438+0.4 million. The city of Kyoto is a basin with a neat layout like a chessboard, but there are no mountains in the south, so as long as you remember this, you will definitely not get lost in Kyoto.

Kyoto is extremely hot in summer, extremely cold in winter, and the climate is compelling. This is mainly because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the moisture caused by the basin topography has nowhere to escape.

The topography of Kyoto is high in the north and low in the south. So the palace in the north, that is, the residence of the emperor, was built in the north, and the direction leading to the palace was also called "north direction".

Gion Festival in Kyoto is one of the three major festivals in Japan, which is as famous as Kanda Festival in Tokyo and Tenjin Matsuri in Osaka. There are many traditional handicrafts circulating, among which Youchan Dyeing and Xizhan Weaving are very famous. The western array is woven as a kimono belt, and the friend Zen is dyed as a kimono. When you get married in Kyoto, you will send a lot of clothes as a dowry. Osaka is not. As the saying goes, Kyoto people pay attention to clothes, while Osaka people pay attention to diet.

Gingko Temple, Silver Pagoda and Lanshan in Kyoto are all famous tourist attractions. Among them, Lanshan is a must-see for China tourists. Historically, Premier Zhou Enlai visited Lanshan during his study in Japan. Premier Zhou was shocked by the beautiful scenery after the rain and once wrote a poem: "The mood at this time is the so-called' Lanshan in the rain'". To commemorate this event, Kyoto people who are enthusiastic about the Sino-Japanese friendship movement hereby set up a monument in Lanshan.
