The Big Beauty of a Little Country
小国家的大美丽
Further north lies another pint-sized country that’s 1)tucked away, not on a hill, but in the mighty Alps.
Two centuries ago there were dozens of independent states in German-speaking
Europe. Today there are only four: Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
Nestled between Switzerland and Austria, the Principality of Liechtenstein is
defined by the mighty Alps to the east, the baby Rhine River to the west, and a stout fortress protecting the mouth of its valley to the south. This quirky remnant of
medieval feudal politics is just about 62 square miles. It’s truly land-locked, without a seaport or even an airport.
Liechtensteiners, who number about 35,000, speak German, are mostly Catholic and have a stubborn independent 2)streak.
Women weren’t given the vote until 1984.
The country’s made up of 11 villages. The village of Triesenberg, high above the valley, gathers around its onion-domed church, which recalls the settlers who arrived here centuries ago from the western part of Switzerland.
The town of Vaduz sits on the valley floor. While it has only 5,000 people, it’s the country’s capital. Its 3)pedestrianized main drag is lined with modern art and hotels bordering a district of 4)slick office parks.
Historically, Europe’s tiny countries have offered businesses special tax and
accounting incentives. For a place with such a small population, Liechtenstein has a lot of businesses. Many European companies locate here to take advantage of its low taxes.

The National Museum tells the story of the Prince and his country. Their family 9)crest dates to the Middle Ages, when the Liechtenstein family was close friends with the Hapsburg family, who ruled the 10)Holy Roman Empire. The Liechtenstein family purchased this piece of real estate from the Holy Roman Emperor. In 1719, the domain was granted principality status, answering only to the emperor. The Liechtenstein princes, who lived near Vienna, saw their new country merely as a status symbol and didn’t even bother to visit for decades. In fact, it wasn’t until the 20th century that the first Liechtenstein prince actually lived here.
In 1806, during the Napoleonic age, Liechtenstein’s obligations to the Hapsburg emperor disappeared, and the country was granted true independence. Later, after World War Ⅰ, tough times forced the principality to enter into an economic union with Switzerland.
To this day Liechtenstein enjoys a close working relationship with its Swiss
neighbours, and, like Switzerland, a big part of its modern economy is tourism and sports, hosting visitors enjoying its dramatic natural beauty. 11)Ski lifts, busy both
