icehotel

But you know what? This ice hotel in China is not the first in the world. The first ice hotel in the world appeared as early as 1990. However, at that time, the hotel was not used for business, but for entertaining tourists who came to watch ice sculptures. It can be said that the establishment of the world's first ice and snow hotel was a complete accident.

In the Swedish town of Yukas Jarvi near the Arctic Circle, there is an extremely unique hotel. Except for the bathroom, almost all other parts of the hotel are made of ice, from cups and beds to the whole building. All the ice here comes from a river called Thallner.

It is understood that the indoor temperature of the igloo in this ice and snow hotel is about -5 degrees Celsius to -8 degrees Celsius. If you don't wear enough clothes inside, it is easy to freeze into popsicles. Especially sleeping on an ice bed made of ice at night, although some beds here will be covered with reindeer skin, if you don't put on a down jacket and sleep in a warm bag, you can't sleep at all.

So why build this cold hotel in the first place? In fact, this hotel was not a hotel at first, but a temporary rest place. It is reported that the designer of this hotel was influenced by Japanese ice sculptures, so in 1990, the designer also held an ice sculpture exhibition in the local area.

However, due to the increase of tourists, in order to solve the housing problem of tourists, he designed this unique ice hotel, which is also the initial sample of this ice hotel in Sweden. It can be said that the designer only wanted to solve the housing problem of tourists at first, but this ice hotel has become extremely popular, attracting many people to experience and becoming a popular characteristic hotel.

Although this hotel is not a five-star hotel, it is striking that the whole hotel is built with ice cubes, and the facilities are nothing extraordinary, but staying here for a few nights is not cheap.

On foreign hotel reservation websites, the cheapest way to stay here for one night is $279/person (equivalent to 1908.5 RMB). Moreover, the property of this hotel is also very compact, and there are not many rooms left in February.

Seriously, I didn't expect such a special house to be so hot. Won't those tourists who live in it feel cold?
