Venice of the Alps... nope, just a city with plumbing
老城的点评
点评：The city of Annecy is nicknamed the “Venice of the Alps,” and I honestly don’t know whether the people who say that have never actually seen Venice… or if their imagination is so powerful that it could put even the most famous sci-fi authors to shame.
So, to be clear: if you have a small mountain river for which you dig a channel to prevent flooding, and that channel sometimes splits in two, you don’t suddenly have a “little Venice”—you just have a city with a stream running through it.
To be honest, my walk along the Thiou River reminded me more of Dutch towns — but of course it sounds far more glamorous, and far easier to pronounce “Little Venice” than “Little ’s-Hertogenbosch” (yes, this is actually a Dutch city, not a keyboard malfunction).
Now, to be fair, the city is picturesque, but…
1. It’s incredibly crowded, comparable only to the tourist centers of major European capitals, except here everyone is holding ice cream
2. Speaking about ice cream - Annecy is full of tourist traps — I saw dozens of people queueing to buy the city's famous ice cream, which is no different from the anonymous ice cream sold just a few streets away (if you’re in the area, try a small experiment and see if you can tell the difference)
3. The terraces are packed, and many of them have prices that shocked me — and I lived for three years in London, one of the most expensive cities in the world
4. The historical buildings converted into museums don’t live up to expectations — in many of them there is (almost) nothing to see
Final rating: 2 stars for a visit in the middle of the tourist season. The experience would probably be far more enjoyable at any other time of year, preferably when half of Europe isn’t there with you.

翻译：安纳西被誉为“阿尔卑斯山的威尼斯”，说实话，我不知道说这话的人是不是真的没见过威尼斯……还是他们的想象力太过丰富，连最著名的科幻作家都自愧不如。
所以，说清楚点：如果你有一条小山河，为了防止洪水泛滥，你挖了一条河道，而这条河道有时会分成两股，你并不会突然就拥有一个“小威尼斯”——你只是拥有了一座有溪流穿过的城市而已。
老实说，我沿着蒂乌河漫步时，感觉更像是在荷兰的小镇——当然，“小威尼斯”听起来比“小斯海尔托亨博斯”（没错，这确实是个荷兰城市，不是键盘故障）要优雅得多，也更容易发音。
平心而论，这座城市风景如画，但是……
1. 人山人海，拥挤程度堪比欧洲各大城市的旅游中心，只不过这里人手一个冰淇淋。
2. 说到冰淇淋——安纳西到处都是旅游陷阱——我看到几十个人排队买当地著名的冰淇淋，但其实和几条街外卖的普通冰淇淋没什么区别（如果你在附近，不妨做个小实验，看看能不能分辨出来）。
3. 露天餐厅人满为患，很多餐厅的价格都让我大吃一惊——要知道，我可是曾在伦敦生活了三年，伦敦可是世界上消费最高的城市之一。
4. 那些改建成博物馆的历史建筑令人失望——很多博物馆里几乎没什么可看的。
最终评价：旅游旺季期间去的话，只能给两星。如果选择其他时间去，体验应该会好得多，最好是避开人潮的时候。
