……

Rail transport in Finland is so slow that people who are used to high-speed trains are really not used to the speed of this old-fashioned night railway. China's railway transport speed is the world's highest, but it is not blown.

And it's night, and you don't even want to see a view outside the car window.

Just swayed slowly all night, almost shaking people apart. Finally, at 7:30 a.m., the team arrived in the capital of Lapland, the hometown of Santa Claus!

It's okay to be idle, Chen Ergou turned on a drone camera mirror, and the raid started broadcasting-

It was already half past eleven in the morning in China, and they were about to have lunch, but many sailors suddenly received a notice of the start of the live broadcast room, and immediately began to call friends and clouds.

Sailors who got the prompt, clicked into the live broadcast room, and the first thing they saw was a dark late night.

"Good morning, everyone...... Oh no, I should say good afternoon. ”

Chen Ergou reluctantly raised his spirit to greet the sailors, and said: "We are now in Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland, Finland, and the time is half past seven...... Everyone can see it, it's not dawn yet!"

"Good morning, dog. ”

"Dog's mother's steamed bun~"

"Look at the beauty, look at the beauty, we want to see the goddess, the photographer quickly changes the lens......" The audience is the uncle, Chen Ergou hurriedly aimed the camera at Xiaomi and Yun'er, and now the otaku are at ease.

"I'm Cao, what did I see, Rengar, J Twenty...... Why didn't I see both of them yesterday? Haha, that's interesting. I'm just a little worried about them, can African animals adapt to the Arctic?"

"Wow, where are you, dog, why is it still dark?"

Indeed, on a crisp morning, it was still as dark as the night.

Obviously, when I came from China, it was still on the tail of summer, but there was already goose feather snow here. Everyone was so frozen, clinging to the starry street lamps in the cold and darkness, waiting for the car prepared by the program team.

At this time, everyone was exhausted, and the jet lag had not completely reversed, and they were just thinking about falling asleep.

I'm not in the mood to interact with sailors.

Warm up, the official show hasn't started yet.

When it was still dark, the convoy finally arrived, and everyone went to the first stop - the reindeer farm.

Rovaniemi is known as the home of Santa Claus, and the world-famous Santa Claus Village is located on the edge of the Arctic Circle, 8 kilometers north of Rovaniemi. Through the entrance of the high archway, I saw a thick white line lying on the ground, writing "66 degrees 33 minutes north latitude".

"Look, that's the dividing line of the Arctic Circle!"

Chen Ergou reminded the sleepy people in the car.

Everyone barely bothered to brace themselves and looked at the scenery outside the car.

It turns out that this line is the dividing line of the Arctic Circle, and the area north of this line belongs to the Arctic range.

Sect Leader Huang was surprised: "So, we have already entered the Arctic Circle?!"

"Hah, what are they doing?"

"Do you go in and out of the Arctic Circle repeatedly? ”

Chen Ergou smiled: "We have to go over too." When you come here, you must receive a certificate of reaching the Arctic Circle issued by the North Pole line at 66 degrees 33 minutes north latitude to prove that you have been to the North Pole!"

The convoy stopped, where two or two private cars, presumably European family tourists, were jumping around the line.

It's fun to get in and out of the North Pole.

Everyone also got out of the car to experience it, and the bouncing dispelled a little tiredness.

The live broadcast room is also lively-

"666, this is to the Arctic Circle?!"

"The scenery of the ice and snow makes me feel like I don't need to turn on the air conditioning at home. ”

"The city will play, repeatedly in and out of the North Pole, 2333, they want to get it. ”

"Let's get the certificate, let's see what the certificate looks like?"

The sailors urged, and Chen Ergou and others naturally did not forget.

The certificate is actually very simple, take a photo and print it, and pay the cost of production.

"Well, it's such a certificate that proves that we have come to the Arctic Circle!"

This is just a means of attracting tourists to tourist attractions, and it is often used in China. But for tourists, that's what they need. Everyone held their certificates and continued to embark on the journey with satisfaction.

Pass through Santa Claus Village, a group of wooden buildings with a spire with a main entrance, a restaurant, a flower garden, Santa's office, a residence, a post office, a shopping mall, a deer park and more.

Every year, a steady stream of tourists flock here from all over the world to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus. In the gift shop in Santa Claus Village. Visitors can buy beautifully designed gifts with Finnish characteristics for friends and family, and of course, a certificate for crossing the Arctic Circle.

There are not many tourists now, and they, together with the crew, are still carrying cameras to follow, which is the largest and most special group of tourists.

Although Christmas is still far away, it is rare to visit the birthplace of Santa Claus, so you can feel the real northern Christmas atmosphere.

The first snow also seems to give the place an early holiday atmosphere, and Christmas-related settings and buildings can be seen everywhere.

Chen Ergou saw a drone shot in front of his face, and pushed it away speechlessly, "Did you shoot like this?"

It was Chen Xiaohu who operated the camera.

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Say something, introduce to the sailors." …… Arranged by the director!"

The sailors snickered, "Don't be cowardly, Master Tiger, just do it!"

Chen Ergou paused, and really began to take out dry goods, and said: "Actually, the dispute over Santa's hometown has been entangled for many years. But at the 40th World Santa Claus Congress, it was decided that all Santa Claus voted to think that Greenland is the former home of Santa Claus. The reason is that they think Greenland has the largest number of reindeer in the world......"

"Ah, isn't this Santa Claus' hometown?" asked Mi next to him.

Peng Yuyan was curious: "Where is Greenland?"

Chen Ergou shook his head and explained: "Greenland is very remote, and it is too far away, far from being as lively as here. However, the results of that vote were not recognized by Finland, and the Finns did not participate in the congress at all, let alone vote. ”

"Now, on the coast of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, there is the world's largest mailbox dedicated to Santa Claus. Although it is far less lively than Finland, it still receives nearly 10 letters from all over the world every year. …… It's the same as the red wooden house mailbox there. He pointed to the iconic red wooden houses of the Finnish Christmas Village.

"There is the visitor center and Santa's office. ”

Everyone nodded their heads, and it turned out that there was still such a saying.

It is only around Christmas that the Christmas village in Rovaniemi comes into full swing and is now in the off-season.

Another important factor that attracts visitors is that it just crosses the Arctic Circle. In the summer, you will see the polar circle line under your feet, and in the winter, you will see this line above your head, and enter the North Pole, which is very attractive to many adults, not to mention children.

And there is also Santa Claus here to take a group photo, how can you not be a customer.

Although it is the off-season, for the "Justice League", the Christmas Village is still too lively, and this is not the place where they want to experience "wilderness survival".

Continue to the north, because the snow is too deep for the car to go any further.

The team switched to a different mode of transportation - snowmobiles.

This was exciting, and the wind blew directly on the skin, so cold that everyone hurriedly wrapped their buckskin hats. Xiaomi, who was sitting behind Chen Ergou, couldn't wait to stuff his head into his arms to hide from the wind.

Fortunately, Rengar and J-20 were not afraid of the cold at all, one stood on its shoulders, showing off its might in the cold wind, and occasionally spreading its wings slightly to maintain balance. One continued to dominate his chest, and that was its chassis.

Chen Ergou said loudly to the camera: "Friends, I have to introduce you to the customs and folk customs here!"

"There are some people in the area who prefer winter to summer, and this is especially true for reindeer herders. ”

"Finnish Lapland is huge. It's bigger than Portugal, but the concept of Lapland is bigger and bigger. Many tourists think they've already arrived in Lapland, when in fact they're only halfway there. The further north you go, the more you will be able to understand what Lapland is all about. ”

"We are now walking north along the 'arm' of northwestern Finland, where the coniferous forests on the horizon have been covered with sudden snow, the birch trees have shrunk to a metre in height, and at the same time, the wilderness rises around you and you are plunged into a tranquility that is hard to find in the world. There, even if you can see for thousands of miles, all you can hear is your own breath and the crunch of your boots in the snow. Once you've visited the small village of Lake Kilpys in Enontekieux, you'll understand why many tourists return year after year. ”

"Well, no more ado. The wind poured into my belly...... That's almost the end of today's livestream. Tomorrow at 15 o'clock Yenching time, we will officially start the second phase of the wilderness survival tour, the Finnish Arctic Circle with difficulty A+. See you there!"

Although the short live broadcast has ended before I have watched it, the audience knows that they are in big trouble and will have a good show to watch tomorrow.

I can't help but become more and more interested in this trip to Finland.
