"This is Hans Christian Andersen's hometown!"

Johnson looked at the quiet and beautiful town in front of him, "The Daughter of the Sea", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Emperor's New Clothes", "Thumbelina",

"The Little Match Girl" ......

It can almost be said that no one's childhood allows Hans Christian Andersen to be missed, and he used 156 fairy tales to pile up the childhood of almost everyone in the world, and for Andersen, Odense is also his world.

Just a few dozen kilometers from the capital, Copenhagen, it was a center of faith in the Middle Ages, attracting countless Danish clergy and pilgrims from far and wide, and ancient monasteries and churches can be found everywhere.

Although it is a small city today, it has a unique and simple and exquisite temperament, with rows of red brick cottages, with typical Nordic architectural style, and the pavement paved with pebbles or bricks, which is natural and neat.

The Odense River flows quietly through the city, with its lush trees and the time changing with the light, making it feel like opening an old fairy tale.

Compared with the beautiful scenery, what makes the locals more proud is Hans Christian Andersen, the man who opened the door to the imagination of countless children around the world!

Coming to a secluded and narrow street, on the north side of the street is a row of dilapidated small red bungalows, and one in the corner is marked: Hans Christian Andersen was born here in 1805, this is the home of Lao An.

According to netizens, in fact, he doesn't know where he was born, because his parents didn't have their own house when they were born. It wasn't until 1867, when he was awarded an honorary citizen of Odense, that the officials confirmed that the house was his birthplace.

Now this house and the adjacent part have been converted into the home of Hans Christian Andersen's childhood, and it is said that when he was a child, he would set up a toy theater in his home, make clothes for the puppets, and use the works he read to make the puppets characterize, so that the characters of the works can be reproduced in the form of puppet shows.

The kitchen had a ladder leading to the roof, and above there was a gutter between my house and my neighbor's house, where there was a box of soil filled with chives and celery – that was my mother's garden, which was still green in the fairy tale "The Snow Queen......

Stroll through the town, as Lao An grew up in a small town, there are many landmarks here that are related to his fairy tales. Next to it is the famous Church of St. Kenute, where his parents were married, where he was confirmatory at the age of 14.

I got a pair of boots during this ceremony, and later recounted the joy of getting these boots in my childhood in "Red Shoes", and I have to admit that it was because of this man that Denmark was made now.

From the son of a shoemaker and washerwoman to a world-renowned fairy tale writer, his life is like a fairy tale. Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales are printed more than Homer and Shakespeare around the world, second only to the Bible.

Following Andersen's footprints on the gravel pavement, it's easy to find the Hans Christian Andersen Museum. Located in the ancient city center of the city, I don't know why an island architect actually designed the venue, saying that the use of soft arc lines and natural building materials such as wood and plants to create a fairy tale world full of natural style?

In Hans Christian Andersen's time, people believed that the river people lived in the deepest part of the river, and when someone drowned in the river, people said that the river people would take him away as an offering, so that there would be no more river flooding, so there was a fairy tale "Zhong Yuan".

The most surprising thing is the zoo, which is one of the best in Europe, with lush forests and natural landscapes that echo man-made structures, from the polar regions to the tropical rainforests. Not only can you see male lions from the African savannah, but you can also see penguins from Antarctica.

You can feed the giraffes with leaves, give water to the raccoons, the beautiful Siberian tigers, the lively rhesus macaques, the tall camels and the lazy red pandas......

Here, you can change into your favorite character's costume and play out a fairy tale in which you are the protagonist. The towers and castles of the little tin soldiers, the mille-feuille skirts of the ballet dancers, and the mischievous leprechauns are all resurrected from the story.

Yelena couldn't help it, incarnated as Snow White, surrounded by a group of dwarfs, Johnson turned into Prince Charming, and saved his princess with an affectionate kiss......

Call Vader and make an appointment to stay at the castle of Iesko for the night, built on oak stump foundations, built on the edge of a small lake, and the only way to access the castle is through the drawbridge. Walking into the castle gate, the first thing that catches your eye is the neatly built garden, full of flowers, and a song and swallow dance.

The woods form two natural screens, half-exposed and half-hidden to the ancient castle, like an architectural barrier, changing the scenery step by step, bringing people step by step to the beautiful and mysterious ancient castle. Walking through the woods, you will see a clear and tranquil lake, reflecting the elegant and charming castle.

Walking through the beautiful gardens and the large lawn, walking in the direction of the castle, several robotic mowers are moving slowly and mowing the lawn according to the set time and program.

Dressed in full medieval armor, Earl Michael is standing on a Segway, spear in hand, waving at SC Johnson. He took off his helmet, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and led everyone to visit with a smile on his face.

The castle is made of traditional red bricks, a typical Renaissance style, and when you enter the castle, the first floor is a hunting room, which used to be a study, because he loves to hunt, so the walls are full of large and small game specimens.

Johnson couldn't help but sigh, worthy of being an earl, rich and idle, spending time and energy on pleasure and various collections. From antique airplanes, rare limited edition classic cars, motorcycles, exquisite vintage groceries, dolls and dolls......

The jewels of the three towns: the Cadillac of the King of Denmark, the steam-powered car built in 1899, and the gorgeous dress of the Castle Lord's wife!

Four garden-like labyrinths of several people tall, 7 kilometres of manicured hedges, vegetable gardens and nurseries attended by the Countess herself......

Each room has a fascinating story, such as one named Liber, which dates back to the late 16th century, when the daughter of the owner of the castle, Liber, fell hopelessly in love with young Frederick and became pregnant, and her father imprisoned her in the room for five years in a fit of rage.

The most famous is the Titania Dollhouse, which originates from another castle owner, Sir Neville Wilkinson, whose daughter claimed to have seen elves in the forest, and was saddened to find them living in caves under the roots of trees, so she begged her father to build a mansion for them.

The father, who loved his daughter deeply, commissioned the famous craftsman James to complete the project, and the craftsman and father spent 15 years building the elven house with 18 rooms and thousands of parts by hand.

SC Johnson looked at the elven mansion displayed in the room, and was amazed by the ingenuity of his craftsmanship and years of patience. The most terrifying thing is the puppet doll on the top of the tower, which is said to be of unknown origin and has been lying between a pile of wooden beams at the top of the tower for hundreds of years.

An old prophecy says: the doll must not be removed, otherwise the castle will sink into the lake on Christmas night. The Earl told me that the puppet doll had been taken to Copenhagen by his grandmother to attend an exhibition, but not long after it was taken, all sorts of unusual things appeared in the castle.

Everyone was scared, so they had to inform the exhibition party to send the doll back and put it back in its original place, so that peace was restored, and no one dared to touch the wooden doll again. Even on Christmas night, the whole family makes food offerings to the puppet and prays for the eternal peace of the castle.

Johnson was excited, originally thinking of buying an ancient castle to play with, but now ......
