小升初时文阅读(5):A Village Without Roads
小升初时文阅读(5):A Village Without RoadsFairy tales may not be real, but you can visit a real village that looks like a fairy-tale setting. Welcome to Giethoorn (羊角村) in the north of the Netherlands (荷兰). The view of this water village is amazing. Some people even think it's too beautiful to be real. The village is called the "Venice (威尼斯) of the Netherlands". There are no roads and people get around by boat. If they have a car, they have to park it outside the village. Wooden bridges connect homes and stores, but some houses can only be reached by water. That's why the postmen there have to send letters by boat. Giethoorn is a quiet village. Only about 2,600 people live there. There are no noisy cars or other engines. The loudest sound you can hear is the quacking of ducks or the singing of other birds. The quietness of the village doesn't mean it's not popular with tourists.
