I have been in St. Petersburg for so long, and I haven’t had much time to sort it out. During the Chinese New Year, I didn’t have time to go back to China. I suddenly had some free time and wanted to write about some of my own affairs. I am more interested in history, so what I most want to write about is the maintenance of small towns in Finland. In fact, if you look up the history of Finland, you will know why a "Russian town" is named "Finnish town". There are too many historical disputes between Finland and Russia.

Vyborg is a small Russian city located on the border of Finland and Russia. She carved the ancient seals into the stone crevices of the wall and dispersed the warmth in the gentle sea breeze; in summer the sparkling sea stirred, and in winter she guarded the soft snow. I spent my summer days here watching the love passing by quietly. Now I am back again, walking gently into this small town on a winter night. Viborg was formerly known as "Viipuri". An important port city in Leningrad Oblast in northwestern Russia. It is at the mouth of Vipli Bay on the northeastern coast of the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea, 129 kilometers southeast from St. Petersburg. Close to Finland.

Vyborg is a famous tourist city on the Gulf of Finland, 130 kilometers away from St. Petersburg and close to the Russian-Finnish border. It consists of a peninsula and several small islands, surrounded by water on three sides and backed by dense forests. Vyborg is known above all for its long and complex history. During the Second World War, the Germans occupied Viborg in 1941. In June 1944, Viborg returned to the Soviet Union. Although it went through wars and changed owners several times, it basically preserved its original appearance. As long as you step into its old city , precious monuments from past dynasties can be seen everywhere, and there are tourist resorts and health resorts on the seaside. There are a large number of churches from the 15th to the 18th century. Kalepsnaya Street is the oldest in the town, and many celebrities have lived here.

It only takes more than 2 hours to take an electric train from St. Petersburg to Vyborg, and there are more than a dozen trains a day. Take your breakfast and board the train. When you open your eyes, you will have arrived in the small city of Vyborg. If it happens to be winter when you come, a cold sea breeze can give you a big mouth. Therefore, the best season to visit Viborg is summer or autumn, when the sunshine is just right, the scenery is just right, the river is not frozen yet, and the sea breeze is still a little gentle.

In Viborg, you can safely walk along the map and stroll around. Not every street is as literary and artistic as the foreign town in your impression, but it can always surprise you inadvertently. The Poseidon by the river, the church at the end of the street, and the ruins of history on the street corners.

If you don’t visit the market, it seems a little less interesting. On weekends, the market square in Viborg will be very lively, with all kinds of souvenirs, daily necessities, and many interesting gadgets. Vyborg is not a purely Russian city. The culture left by the Finns still has a profound influence here. Sometimes it is more like a Nordic town.

If you are lucky, you will also encounter a concert performance. Last time we came, we heard "Destiny", "Romeo and Juliet", etc., encore, and finally "The Story of the Vienna Woods Waltz" At the end, the affectionate performance from the Russian Petersburg musical dramatist flew across the Finnish town to Northern Europe?

Vyborg Castle is built on a small island. In June, when the flowers are officially blooming, under the blue sky Against the background of flowers and wildflowers, the walls of the castle look a little mottled. Climbing to the top of Vyborg, you can have an unobstructed view of the town. When the weather is good, you can see the blue sky, the sun is just right, seagulls are soaring, the breeze is blowing, and thousands of customs gather together. It seems that you can smell the breath of history. This breath, It belongs to Finland, and it also belongs to East Slavia. Savor it carefully, and it turns out to be you.

Compared with seven hundred years of history, our life is only a moment. We all grow old and fall into dust, but some things remain alive forever.

That kind of thing is in the distant eyes of Peter the Great, in the distant echo of the church bell, in the waving palms of the bronze statue of Lenin...
