Raw ingredients of beer.


The staff is getting us some young beer for tasting.


The true look of young beer with a bitter taste. For the beer available in the market, the color is lighter and clearer that earned the brand a nickname of "golden beer". Pubs in Czech usually offer beer from 1L.

Prague Summer - Food Food Food‧布拉格之夏 - 大塊肉

Food in Czech can be simply described as meaty, meaty, meaty.

This large roasted pork knee is for one pax only. The knee was very tender. Do you know which part was most delicious? It's the meat near the bone with little fat. You won't forget the taste after having it.


Roasted pig again.


Look like traditional Chinese roasted pig but this one contains less fat. Can be served with mustard.


Roasted duck, a very traditional Czech dish. The taste was quite alright. The white one is bread dumpling and the yellow one is another kind of dumpling. Both tasted so so.


There are many delicious dishes, like smoked salmon. Pity that I forgot to take photos.

Prague Summer - Beyond Prague, Inside Český Krumlov‧布拉格之夏 - 千里之外，古姆洛夫

Where were I? Here's Český Krumlov, another UNESCO World Heritage site in Czech Republic.


Way toward Český Krumlov Castle


Why there's a clock on the wall?


Probably wanna remind tourists how long they have spent on admiring the beautiful scenery.


Large World in a Small Window


Souvenir Smith


Real brick? Fake brick?


The bricks and most of decorations are wall paintings indeed.


Castle Tower. Quite Russian style in my eyes.


Take the armor. Become a knight.


Guess what is inside? (the answer is at the bottom of this page)


There are 3 bears in the castle (all are locked separately). It's said that if you can see them all in one visit, you will be very lucky. Here's one in the picture. Let's try your luck.


Time to remind you where you are again.






Q: Guess what is inside?
A: Cheese (seems something similar to thousand years egg haha)

Prague Summer - Architecture Exhibition‧布拉格之夏 - 建築大觀園

Prauge was endorsed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1992. With the official announcement, the beauty of this cultural city has been widespread and numerous tourists have been attracted. The local government has spent great efforts on conservation, like prohibiting large vehicle to enter into historical area, such as Charles Bridge, Own Town Square, etc. Probably this is the major reason why we can still admire the original scene of "The Golden City".


National Museum of Prague in Neo-renaissance Style built in 1885-1891


Some more classic buildings. Do you know what styles they were built?





Some old buildings are sold to private companies. These buildings may serve as hotels, restaurants.etc and open for public after renovation. The picture shows Four Seasons Hotel.


Old elegant street lamp, which is similar to those in Central, Hong Kong.


Apart from culture conservation, Prague also allows room for creativity of contemporary arts. The modern building in the picture was constructed in 1996 with a nickname of Dancing House because of its outlook. Can you see there's a gentleman dancing with a lady?


What is the "building"? This big brown round pillar is a public washroom. If you wanna have a look inside, just put in a coin and you can become the self-served guest. It is located in the premium brand area, just next to LV. Probably the government understand people usually spend much time on shopping in the branded shops, thus, they set such a caring facility there.

Prague Summer - St Vitus Cathedral ‧布拉格之夏 - 聖維特大教堂

St. Vitus Cathedral is the most beautiful building in Prague in my eyes. This church has set a typical example of Gothic architecture since 1344. The cathedral is so large that it's hardly to take a full view in one picture.
聖維特大教堂 - 本人眼中位於布拉格最美麗的建築物。這座教堂於1344年建立，乃典型的哥德式建築。單一張相片無法拍得其全貎，可見其規模之大。


The main tower, yet, was finished in Baroque style years later.
由於整座教堂歷時數十年及由數位不同的建築師而成，主塔頂部採用了以巴洛克式方格。


Symmetrical window.
充滿對稱美的窗戶。


Painting of last judgment.
金碧輝煌的繪畫，描繪出最後審判的精況。


Ornate entrance.
精雕細琢的入口。


Zigzag ceiling everywhere.
隨處可見的之字形天花。




Each stained window carries one story. How many can you identify?
一窗一故事，你知道多少？




Silver coffin of St. John who is perceived as the guard of Prague.
聖約翰被視為布拉格的守護者，其棺木由純銀鑄造。
