If you could travel in Europe, which country would you visit? France? Italy? You may have forgotten a hidden 'treasure. It is Hungary(匈牙利).

Hungary's location is very important. It is in the middle of Europe. It works as a good transition(过渡) area and a necessary rest stop for visitors from both the eastern and western parts of Europe.

One can see the view in the pictures in Hungary's capital city, Budapest(布达佩斯). People call Budapest the"Pearl of the Danube(多瑙河明珠)". It was once made up of two cities:Buda on the western side of the Danube and Pest on the eastern side. The two cities were combined(合并) in 1873. Buda has many places of interest and fairytale castles, while Pest is busy, with many cafes, restaurants and places for night life.

Hungary makes good use of its location and beautiful capital. That is probably why it became the first European country to join China for the Belt and Road Initiative. In the future, teamwork between the two countries will include the building of railways, power grids and the Internet. That will help increase(增大) China's connections to Europe greatly.

"We need to rebuild the Silk Road, connecting the world from the east to the west,"said Zoltán Balog, Hungary's human resources minister.

Hungary is a landlocked country. It doesn't have sea coasts. But the country has many natural hot springs(温泉). In fact, Hungary has more hot springs than anywhere else in Europe.
