Prague Magic Hour! Walking Alone on Charles Bridge at Early Morning】**

**【 At four o'clock in the morning, I stepped onto the Charles Bridge alone. The Vltava River was shimmering with indigo waves, and 30 Baroque statues were looming in the morning mist. In front of the eighth statue of St. John at the bridge head, I stroked the bronze cross without queuing. It is said that it can make wishes come true - the coolness from the fingertips seems to touch the marks of the flood 1,700 years ago. The mechanical angel on the top of the bridge tower waved his scepter at the top of the hour, like a fairy tale gatekeeper. The most amazing thing is the hidden stone steps under the third arch on the west side of the bridge. You need to wade through shallow water to capture the light and shadow of the statue and the morning sun. The painter has not yet set up the easel, only the sound of the street artist's cello floats on the river, and the magic of Kafka's "Bridge to Eternity" is embodied at this moment. When the first ray of sunlight dyed the spire of St. Vitus Cathedral golden, the bullet holes and cracks embedded in the cracks between the bridge piers silently told the vicissitudes of World War II and floods. This 600-year-old bridge is not only a stone miracle, but also the carrier of Prague's soul - Smetana heard the melody of "Vltava" here, and Kafka counted the stones from the bridge piers for inspiration. If you come to Prague, don't just rush through the crowded crowds during the day, please reserve a magical early morning for Charles Bridge.
