What is the climate like in Holland? When is the best time to travel?
The tourist season is from the end of March to the end of May, with less rainfall, which coincides with the flower season. Swimming in summer and enjoying snow in winter are also quite attractive.
The windmill was originally initiated by the Dutch and adapted to the needs of water utilization and mill industry. Although it is still a "national trademark" in the Netherlands, it is rare in practical application.
People often call the Netherlands "the country of windmills". The Netherlands is a country in Western Europe with a population of only10 million. Its real country name is Holland. "Ned" means low, and "Lan" means land, which are collectively called "low-lying countries". One third of the Netherlands is only above sea level 1 m in the North Sea, and nearly one quarter is below sea level. It's really a veritable "Holland".
The Netherlands is located in the prevailing westerly belt of the earth, and westerly winds blow all year round. At the same time, close to the Atlantic Ocean, it is also a typical maritime climate country with land and sea winds all year round. This gives the Netherlands, which lacks hydropower and power resources, generous compensation for using wind power.
Dutch windmills were originally imported from Germany. At first, windmills were only used for grinding and the like. In16th and 7th centuries, windmills were of great significance to the Dutch economy. There are also: papermaking and other functions, known as the "country of windmills". The Netherlands has always been famous for windmills. Where there are many windmills is "Children's Di Fang".
Today, there are still 19 windmills here, and Dutch women in traditional costumes can be seen.
Until August 26th, it was 20 13 "windmill day" in Holland. On Saturday, children's windmills in Di Fang will rotate together, and some of them will open their interiors for tourists to visit.
