Why Stockholm, Sweden is a city of prohibition?

Because Sweden is a country where alcohol is forbidden. Drinking at home requires a license, buying at a designated place and paying considerable taxes. Prohibition City is its nickname, and everyone gives it a nickname.

Stockholm English means "Mudao". The city was built in the middle of13rd century. At that time, local residents were often harassed by pirates, so people built a castle with huge wood on an island at the entrance of Lake Meralen and erected stakes in the water to resist pirates, so the island was named "Mudao". There is a local legend about the name Stockholm, that is, a huge wood floated on Lake Meralen in ancient times, which led the first immigrants from Gatina to come here and founded the city. There is also a legend: in the past, it was desolate, and the wreckage of wrecked ships washed away by the waves piled up on the beach, so local residents fished out these broken logs and built a simple hut. Because these pieces of wood are not fragments, but pieces of wood-like waste, the built house is rickety.

1250 this broken wooden house has formed a street on the island. Foreign ships sail here for business activities. When they saw the houses in the street, they couldn't help laughing and shouted "Stockholm" casually. "Stego" means wood, "Elmo" means island, which together means "wooden island". Due to its moderate geographical location, mild climate and beautiful environment, Stockholm was designated as the capital in 1436 and gradually developed into the largest city in Scandinavia.

Stockholm has both elegant and antique features and the prosperity of a modern city. In the old city, there are resplendent palaces, magnificent churches and towering minarets, while the narrow streets and lanes show the style of medieval streets and lanes. There are many tall buildings in the new city, and the streets are neat, tree-lined and sparkling. Cars, ships, planes, osprey and seagulls are chasing each other on the ground, at sea and in the air, which adds infinite vitality to the city, while those satellite cities dotted in the distance bring people faint smoke and dreams.

Stadan Island in the southern district of Stockholm is said to be the ruins of the old city. The antique old town of Stockholm is a place where tourists rush to visit. Streets and alleys in the old city are paved with stones, the widest place is only 5 to 6 meters, and the narrowest place is less than 1 meter. Not only cars, motorcycles and bicycles can't pass, but two people have to sideways to make way when crossing the road. On both sides of the street are some old shops selling quaint and exquisite handicrafts and souvenirs. The Swedish Palace, the Royal Opera House, the Royal Theatre, the Parliament Building and the Stockholm City Hall are all gathered here.

The Swedish Palace was built in17th century, and it is a small square castle. In front of the palace, two bared-teeth stone lions were separated on both sides. At the gate stood several guards in red tassels and medieval uniforms more than a foot high, looking dignified and threatening. Every noon, the guards will hold a grand changing ceremony. Visitors can buy a ticket, enter the palace through the sentry, visit the gold, silver, jewels and all kinds of exquisite utensils left by Swedish kings in past dynasties, and watch the dazzling murals in the palace.

To the north of the old city is selga Square in the city center. There is a huge fountain in the center of the square. There stands a big column about 40 meters high and composed of more than 80 thousand pieces of glass, which exudes strange colors in the interweaving of sunlight and lights. King Street, queen street Street and Sylvia Street around the square are the most prosperous business districts in this city. The modern atmosphere here is in sharp contrast with the ancient city. There is a huge underground shopping mall and underground railway central station under the square, which is called "the longest underground art museum in the world". Different from Venice's "instead of walking by boat", Stockholm's underground railway runs through the seabed and extends in all directions, making it the main local means of transportation. The central station is divided into upper, middle and lower floors, and passengers can get on and off at the same time on each floor.

City Hall is located at the eastern end of King's Island in the southwest of the city center. City Hall/KLOC-The three golden crowns on the 0/05m-high spire are the symbols of Stockholm. Near the palace, there are "China Palace" and "Beihai Caotang". Beihai Caotang is a garden in China, which was built by Kang Youwei, the leader of China Reformists, when he was exiled abroad after the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898.

Stockholm is also a famous cultural city. There are more than 50 museums in this city, such as National Museum, Natural Museum, Fine Arts Museum, Ancient Cultural Relics Museum, Weapons Museum and Science and Technology Museum.

Because it has not been destroyed by the war, it is well preserved and now maintains an antique style.

There is still an ancient well in the central square of the old city, which is said to be the only fresh water well that residents drank hundreds of years ago. There are also towering palaces, Nicholas Church and other historical sites. If you arrive at the palace at noon, you will also see the guards changing their posts, the costumes are gorgeous and the ceremony is grand.
