Singel

The Singh Canal is the closest canal to the center of Amsterdam's old town, with many historical buildings along the coast, churches, former ferry towers, school buildings, and there is no shortage of traditional Dutch architecture, the canal house is a typical representative. Early morning, very quiet, stroll along the canal bank and slowly taste the unique charm of this old town

The Singel Canal, also known as the Singel Canal, is one of several canals in Amsterdam, originally a moat. The Singel Canal originated in 1492 and was Amsterdam's moat in 1585; it became a canal after the expansion of Amsterdam's urban area. In addition to the Singh Canal, the commonly referred to Amsterdam canals consist of three main canals: the Gentleman Canal, the Prince Canal and the Emperor Canal. These three canals form a concentric belt around the city, called the Canal Belt. Singh Canal is strictly a canal outside the Canal Belt. However, visitors to Amsterdam, from the airport to the Central Railway Station, may be the first sight of the Singer Canal. The Singer Canal starts at IJ Bay, near Amsterdam Central Station, and ends at Mint Square, where it meets the Amsterdam River. Said to see crabs in the river.

But unfortunately the dam is too powerful, there are not many lives to soak in freedom, even the life of the poor even the blue sea did not see. Inside and outside the dam, I hope that the crabs will be harmonious. When the crabs are squatting, it is best to stay away from the river. Keeping the distance and looking far away is beautiful.

Amsterdam has many canals, crisscrossed. On the Singh Canal, you can enjoy the style of the two sides of the canal, and you can also see the water flower market.

Some colorful, fairy tale style, some because of the foundation settlement and become crooked, but can also keep it, it is strange and interesting. Many people parked on the canal side, because the place is very narrow, the car fell into the water accidents happen.

During this time in Holland, not only saw tulips and windmills, but also traveled and cruised various canals. What attracted me most was the various private yachts on both sides of the canal. Climbing to an unknown waterfall, I also saw a rainbow
