Devotional articles for Buddhists are exhibited in a showcase in the Chinese quaerter of Amsterdam. Already during the 17th century the first Chinese people settled down in the town. The Chinese quarter stretches out around the Zeedijk. Once the Zeedijk protected Amsterdam from the water of the river Amstel. Until today the street is the center of the former dockland. Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands. The town is located in the province of North Holland at the mouth of the river Amstel and the river Ij into the Ijsselmeer. Amsterdam dates back to the 12th century. The town was built around a barrage in the river Amstel on about 5 millions of fir boles. Due to its oversea trade at the end of the 16th century the then Hanseatic city Amsterdam had become the most prosperous city of Europe. Nowadays the town that is nerved by canals has the biggest old town of Europe. (undated picture) | usage worldwide
