The clothes in the design area are very beautiful, and the price is between 400 and 1,300 euros per piece. It’s still bright at 10pm in summer, but it gets dark at 3pm in winter.

In short, Finland is a very civilized, friendly, clean, convenient, leisurely, innovative and regionally unique country. The shy and reserved nature of the Finnish nation also has some similarities with the Chinese nation, so choosing to come to Finland is a good choice.
