Where is the capital of Greenland? Let me introduce it to you.

1. As the capital of Greenland, Nuuk has a large number of tourism resources and rich cultural life. For example, the Greenland National Museum and Archives, the Government Town Hall, the Cultural Center, and the Colonial Harbor are all in Nuuk, and the city also has many brightly colored houses and buildings.

2. The official language is Danish. Greenland is the world's largest island with an area of ??2,175,600 square kilometers, of which more than 1.7 million square kilometers are covered by ice sheets, accounting for 10% of the world's total fresh water and 1/8 of the global ice sheets. In 1728, Hans Eged founded a colony near what is now Nuuk, and throughout its 250-year history the city has always used "Godthaab" as its name, which means "good wishes" in Danish.

3. After the establishment of the government in 1975, the city of Nuuk had more powers, such as taxation and autonomy. In 1979 the city was renamed to its current name Nuuk, which means Cape, and Nuuk is now Greenland's largest city and the country's administrative center.
