Chapter 899 884. Christmas City (55)

Rovaniemi is the capital of the northernmost province of Lapland, located in the Arctic Circle.

As the fifth largest city in Finland and the capital of the largest province, Rovaniemi occupies a very important position in Finland. It is located at the confluence of the Kemi River and the Onas River. It is also the cultural center, economic center and transportation hub.

Fresh air, pure wilderness, simple folk customs and beautiful legends make this land extraordinarily charming, so Rovaniemi is also known as the "Queen of the North" by people who love it.

Of course, another name for it is 'Christmas City'.

According to rumors, Santa Claus lives in a place called Ear Mountain in the North Pole. Since the exact location of Ear Mountain is a secret, if you want to find him, you can only go to his office in Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi .

However, the ownership of Santa Claus' hometown has been debated in Western countries for many years.

It was not until Christmas Eve in 1995 that the then Secretary-General of the United Nations Gary sent a holiday card addressed to Santa Claus to Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland Province in northern Finland, which stopped the debate.

The vast expanse of icy tundra, the blue sky, the endless low pine forest, the reindeer walking leisurely, and the small and chic log cabins constitute a typical southern Lapland scenery.

In Rovaniemi, Santa Claus is more famous than the mayor. His office is covered with photos of celebrities from all over the world with him, and postcards with his face are everywhere.

In order to further strengthen the image of Finland as the hometown of Santa Claus and at the same time attract more domestic and foreign tourists, Visit Finland and the Lapland provincial government jointly formulated the "Santa Claus Hometown Plan" with long-term strategic significance.

In 1985, a unique tourist attraction - Santa Claus Village was established in Rovaniemi. Subsequently, 10 tourist spots named after Santa Claus were established throughout Lapland, including ski resort centers, reindeer parks and wildlife parks.

Wang Bo is very interested in these scenic spots, but it is a pity that it is already the end of December, and the phenomenon of short days and long nights in the Arctic is very obvious.

Therefore, even at around ten o'clock in the morning, the sky is still dark, except for a hint of bright blue in the east, indicating that the short day is coming.

Eva and Little Loli slept for more than 30 hours, and they were indeed full of energy after waking up.

Although it is always dark, Rovaniemi is brightly lit, and last year the city just invested 17 million dollars in a new night-light system.

It can be said that this is a city that never sleeps, and the lights are always on no matter day or night.

The heavy snow kept falling, Wang Bo couldn't bear it and went to sleep for a while, while Eva and little Lolita kept warming in front of the fireplace and watching the snowfall scene with great interest.

Unlike hotels in other regions, many hotels in Rovaniemi have fireplaces in their rooms that can light a fire.

The fireplace has been treated with fire protection, so people can enjoy the fire with confidence. If they want to go out, they must get the waiter to confirm that the fire is extinguished before leaving.

After Wang Bo woke up, he saw that the white belly finally appeared outside, and the heavy snow had turned into light snow, creating a snow-white world.

Seeing him open his eyes, Eva smiled and kissed him on the forehead, and said, "Merry Christmas, dear."

Little Lolita stood at the window and looked out, exclaiming: "It's so cool, this is Christmas! A snowy Christmas!"

Wang Bo laughed and said, "Actually, it's my Christmas present to your sister to bring you to Finland."

Little Lolita pouted her lips, her bun face stretched into a long face: "Then don't you love Dai'er? Dai'er will look more beautiful than my sister!"

Wang Bodao: "Of course I love you. It has nothing to do with your appearance. I mean, this is not the Christmas present I prepared for you."

The little loli came to her senses, raised her head expectantly and asked, "Are there any other presents? Where are they? I want to see them!"

Wang Bo got up to wash, and then said: "What are you waiting for? Go downstairs quickly, it will be dawn soon, we must seize this daytime time to have fun."

Because it is located in the Arctic Circle, every year from September, Rovaniemi becomes a land of ice and snow. By now, the city has already become a city of ice and snow.

The lights around the hotel are even brighter, and they are all incandescent lamps, as bright as daytime.

But the lights wrapped around the rows of Christmas trees standing at the door are colorful, flickering and radiant.

Before Wang Bo and the others left, a waiter went to check the safety of using fire. After meeting, the handsome waiter smiled and said, "Merry Christmas, sir, madam, miss."

Little Loli covered her mouth and smiled secretly, and said, "They call me Miss, they think I'm your daughter, isn't that interesting?"

Eva pretended to be distressed and said: "If our daughter is really as mischievous as you in the future, then I would rather have a son."

Little Lolita said dissatisfied: "I'm not mischievous, I'm naive!"

Wang Bo laughed, they really look like a family, and the little Lolita looks like a mixed race of Caucasian and yellow, just like his and Eva's daughter.

They walked to the door of the hotel, where the young man and the queen were waiting there, pulling a sleigh and a pumpkin cart.

The two big guys are all dressed in clothes. They suddenly come from summer to winter, and they are less adaptable to the mutation of the environment than humans.

In the warm room, I thought the world of ice and snow outside was beautiful, but I realized that it was not the case when I got down. It was very cold!

A gust of cold wind blew over, carrying snowflakes, and fell on Wang Bo's face, making him shiver.

Eva giggled seeing his miserable state, and little Lolita's eyes lit up after seeing the pumpkin sleigh cart, and she ran over with her arms open, just like a chubby little penguin.

She staggered and ran to the pumpkin cart, just about to have a fiery hug, but suddenly fell down...

This blow was heavy enough, because the ground was not snow but ice, the snow had been swept away, and the remaining ice was re-formed after the snow had melted many times before, smooth and hard.

But the little loli was wearing thick clothes, and made a "bang" sound after falling down. The waiters on both sides frowned when they heard it, but she got up, wiped her nose, opened her arms to hug the pumpkin cart, and let out a silver bullet. Bell-like laughter.

The waiter who was about to come up to help him up exclaimed: "Your daughter is such a brave girl, there are ice cubes flowing in her veins!"

'There are ice cubes flowing in the veins', this is a compliment in the local area, which means that he is decisive and tough enough, a tough guy.

Finland is located in the extreme north, and its folk customs are tough. It has experienced wars such as the Soviet invasion and World War II in history, but they did not destroy the country, but made them stronger.
