Helsinki 1

Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is surrounded by the Baltic Sea on three sides. Helsinki was founded in 1550 and became the capital of Finland in 18 12. It is the sixth largest ancient city in Finland and the center of Finland's cultural, financial and economic activities. Helsinki is compatible with the charm of metropolis and the elegance of northern Europe, perfectly combines the smart beauty of nature with high-tech innovation, and successfully integrates a long history and culture with the development of the new century, and is known as the "daughter of the Baltic Sea". Most of the buildings in the city are light-colored granite, which is known as "Baicheng in the North". In Helsinki's seaport market, there is a bronze statue called "Daughter of the Baltic Sea", which is a symbol of Helsinki. Because of its high latitude, in summer, the light lasts for 20 hours. Helsinki is also called "the daytime city in the north" and "the capital city where the sun never sets".

(1) Helsinki Cathedral. Helsinki Cathedral was built by German architect Engel in 1852. The most famous building in Helsinki is the essence of Finnish architectural art because of its exquisite structure and extraordinary spirit. At the top of the cathedral is a bell tower with a light green arch, more than 80 meters above sea level. You can see it at a glance from the sea. It is a landmark building in Helsinki and a very popular wedding venue in Finland. In order to get married here, couples need to make an appointment one and a half years in advance. The theological seminary of Helsinki University holds a traditional and grand graduation ceremony in Helsinki Church every year.

(2) Finland. Fort Finland is located on an island south of Helsinki and consists of six islands. Historically, it was a military fortress, with Ming fort, dark fort, barracks, artillery and other historical sites. It is an ancient coastal defense fortress, so it is very important to control the geographical position of the sea route from Finland Bay to Helsinki. Up to now, there are castles, ancient forts, barracks and warehouses on the island. The scenic Fort Finland is one of the important places of interest in Finland and has been recognized as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO. Now it has become one of the important tourist attractions in Helsinki.

2. rovaniemi

Rovaniemi, 800 kilometers north of Helsinki, is the capital of Lapland province in northern Finland and the only capital in the Arctic Circle in the world. Rovaniemi is the gateway to Lapland and the political, economic, cultural and tourism center of northern Finland. The name of rovaniemi comes from Lapland dialect, which means "grassy hillside" or "hill where forest fire once happened". During the Second World War, rovaniemi was severely damaged and almost razed to the ground. After the war, the city was rebuilt according to the design of the famous Finnish architect alvar aalto. Today, the design works of this master architect can be seen everywhere in this city.

Visitors must first do two "big things" when they come here: one is to take a commemorative photo with their feet across the Arctic line at 66 33' north latitude, and the other is to get the documents to enter the Arctic Circle. These two documents will be kept by tourists as important travel documents for life. Visitors can visit Santa Claus Village and communicate with Santa Claus at zero distance. The main attractions in rovaniemi include the Arctic Center, Lapland Museum and reindeer farms of all sizes. The Arctic Center, built in the early 1990s, shows visitors the local customs, cultural customs and natural scenery of Lapland Arctic, and has now become one of the important places for tourists to visit the North. ;
