Ye Chao's first stop in Norway was Oslo, the capital of the country.

Oslo is the oldest capital city in Scandinavia.

Its name is derived from the Old Norse saying, one being "god" and the other being "meadow".

Founded in 1048 AD, it became the capital of Norway in 1814 and was once called "Christiania" before changing to its current name. According to legend, Oslo means "Valley of God" or "Foothills", both of which are related to Oslo's geographical location.

Oslo, the capital of Norway, is located on a hill at the northern end of the Oslo Fjord, facing the sea and backed by mountains.

The city is on the verge of the winding Oslo Bay, backed by the towering Holmenkoren Mountain, and the green sea of the Cangshan Mountains reflect each other, making the city not only have the beautiful scenery of the coastal city, but also rich in the majestic momentum displayed by the high mountains and dense forests.

Surrounded on three sides by mountains, jungles and wilderness, Oslo has the beauty of a seaside city and the majesty of a dense forest in the mountains, with buildings on both sides of the street being only six or seven storeys, with a strong medieval flavor and a unique Nordic scenery.

Cangshan and the green plain reflect each other, which is very charming.

Walking through the city of Oslo, on the waterfront of the city, there is a large building that skillfully combines ancient and modern architectural styles: Oslo City Hall.

The square in front of the hall has flower beds and fountains, which are unique in shape and rich in park style. Near the town hall, there is the famous National Theatre and the historic Norwegian Royal Palace. Not far from these buildings is the most bustling downtown area of the city.

Here you can see the prosperity of European cities, admire the precious works of art displayed in museums, and visit the ancient buildings of the cathedral...... The western suburbs of Oslo attract more tourists because they concentrate the best of Oslo's cityscape.

In the western suburbs of the scenic area, there is a beautiful Fronier Park, which is full of green trees and flowers. It is especially famous for its unique and graceful sculptures. Entering the park, there is a stone bridge, and the pillars of the bridge railing are carved with various shapes of human bodies, which are varied, varied, ingenious, and amazing.

In the center of the park is a fountain with a group of lifelike human figures supporting a huge copper plate, from which clear spring water spouts high and then falls evenly in all directions, as if casting a thin white veil over the statues.

Around the fountain, there are more than 20 trees that have been carefully cultivated and grown very neatly over the years, and under each tree there is a group of statues of men and women, some of which are crouching, some sitting, and some snuggling up to each other.

At the highest point of the park, there is a huge square pedestal, and in the middle of the pedestal, stands a stone pillar similar to the ancient Chinese Huabiao, and countless human statues are carved on the surface of the stone pillar.

Since ancient times, Norwegians have been known for their love of sculpture, especially the human body. Whether in a public place or in a private room, there are several sculptures for people to enjoy. The largest in the city, Frogner Park, has a unique layout and exquisite architecture, and the Vigeland Sculpture Park in the park is even more famous.

There are 150 groups of sculptures, with realistic forms and variety. In Oslo, a wide variety of sculptures can be found everywhere, and it is simply a world of sculpture.

Legend has it that "Oslo" means "Valley of God", but in Norwegian it means "glade".

In 1050, the last pirate king of Norway, Harold? Hadrad built his government on land at the confluence of the Ona River and the Bay of Oslo at the foot of Mount Aica Castle. He named the capital Oslo, a name that remained in use until 1624.

On September 24, 1624, a fire burned the entire city of Oslo to the ground. After the reconstruction, the city was renamed Christiania.

An outstanding architect and urban planner, King Christian IV of the United Kingdom of Danno personally designed the blueprint for the new city.

Oslo before 1814 was not technically the capital, in fact it was only the residence of the Danish-appointed governor.

After the defeat of Napoleon and the signing of the Treaty of Kiel, the sleepy town of Oslo gradually began to awaken to become the true capital of Norway.

In terms of its development and population, Oslo is a city that got off to a very late start. More than 900 years ago, it was a small commercial port of less than 3,000 people in the Oslo Fjord, with wooden houses of all colors, low and small, and only a few public buildings were made of stone.

In the 80s of the 19th century and the 90s of the 19th century, the famous painter Edward? Munch painted Oslo as a city full of ghosts. Both men and women were dressed in black, with the brim pressed low, and their faces were pale.

For Munch, they are like "the living dead, walking from a winding path to the grave". This is the Oslo of the past, a gloomy city that lacks the vibrancy of Copenhagen or Stockholm.

Munch then left and moved to Berlin and Paris.

Nearly 100 years later, in the mid-80s of the 19th century, many of Oslo's cultural characteristics were still foreign, and talented people in the country did not want to stay in Oslo and sought development opportunities in brighter cities.

Even at the beginning of the 20th century, Oslo's population was only 10,000. The only cultural attraction in Oslo is the museums dedicated to explorers and skiers, and there are a variety of museums, galleries, exhibition halls and more in the city.

It was not until the late eighties of the 19th century that Oslo began to become a cosmopolitan city, partly due to the awakening of the people's consciousness and partly due to the wealth brought about by oil.

If talented people can be attracted to return home, the situation will inevitably change significantly. They returned home. With the economic boom brought about by oil, more and more money is being spent on the arts.

Many artists were still living abroad on scholarships, but all of a sudden, they found that the domestic environment had changed so much that they couldn't help but want to go back to China.

There is a famous Norwegian figure who has remained loyal to Oslo throughout her artistic career: actress Liv? Ullmann, who often returned to Oslo to perform in Ibsen's plays.

This is undoubtedly another city full of charm.

However, Ye Chao is not only here because it is full of charm.

Although there is no grass at the end of the world, Ye Chao likes to go to the campus of the university to find it......

That's right, he just wanted to go to the famous University of Oslo to find it......
