I visited several places on the second day of my stay in Zurich, including Switzerland National Museum, Chinese Garden Zurich, Lake of Zurich,and Grossmünster Church. After having my breakfast, I bought a day pass for 8.00 CHF and went out to the city center by tram. Zurich is famous for its highly efficient, clean and safe public transport system. It is quite convenient to travel around the city with public transport. First, I paid a visit to Switzerland National Museum, located near to Hauptbahnhof,the main train station.

Switzerland National Museum

The entrance fee cost me around 10 CHF, and I spent about 2 hours there. Yeah, after this, I took the tram down to Chinese Garden Zurich, but unfortunately the meseum was closed for maintainence. Even though, it is still worth to spend your time here with the fantastic scenary .You can have a leisure walk here, to refresh your mind and free yourself from stress.

I walked back to the city center and dropped by at Grossmünster church. It is an old Romanesque church, where reformer Huldrych Zwingli was appointed the people’s priest in 1519. It cost me about 2.00 CHF to go up the tower. It was not really pleasant to go up there. The stairs were built in spiral and only fit for a person at a time. Yet, when you reach to the end of the stairs, you still have to walk several floors up to reach the top- most level. But, the effort is definitely worthwhile!!! You can enjoy the scene of whole Zurich at the top-most level, just under your feet. It was fantastic!! :D
