Chapter 171: Environment and Income
After visiting the Fort Charlotte Palace, they roam along the pedestrian street and admire the characteristic architecture on both sides. Then visit the Christiansborg Palace to experience the splendor and comfort of this royal palace.
The next morning, we went to City Hall Square, where there is a statue of the fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen, and the bell tower overlooks the whole of Copenhagen. Enjoying the view of Copenhagen from above is another experience, photos taken from any angle can be turned into postcards, and each building is beautiful like a fairy tale.
Another must-visit place in Copenhagen is the Round Tower. The Round Tower is the work of King Christian IV, who at the time sought to transform Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, into one of the most beautiful and important metropolises in the Nordic region. King Christian IV during the European Renaissance has an unrivalled place in Danish history, and his legacy for Copenhagen is full of praise and recognition.
The round tower is mainly composed of two parts: the round tower and the church bell tower. The stubby round tower and the red-roofed reclining church bell tower that chimes the time every quarter of an hour complement each other. The tower serves as the main entrance to the church, as well as an astronomical observatory and as the entrance to the university library, built on the top floor of the huge church, with a view of the whole city of Copenhagen.
Their last stop in Copenhagen was Tivoli Gardens, a famous amusement and leisure park in Copenhagen, Denmark and one of the oldest amusement parks in the world, which has been welcoming locals and visitors since 1843 to this day. With 275 million visitors, it is the most famous amusement park in Europe.
Tivoli is most proud of its guard of honour. In 1844, Tivoli established an honor guard consisting of 89 boys aged 9~16. It has a strict age limit, and before joining the Guard of Honour, they must pass an exam at the Guard of Honour Music School and receive first-class training at the school in their spare time.
Every day, the Tivoli Guard of Honour shows off its heroic presence in front of visitors. They wore red uniforms, white trousers, and the most striking thing was the black fur hat on their heads, which was more than a foot tall. It looks very similar to the costume of the Royal Danish Guard. It is said that this is based on the image of the tin soldier in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Steadfast Tin Soldier".
At the head of the guard of honor were the phalanx of conductors and drummers, followed by a golden carriage drawn by two small horses, on which the young "prince" and "princess" were waving to visitors, and finally the captain of the 6th Navy, riding on a white Arabian horse, and his soldiers. The appearance of the honor guard always pushes the joyful atmosphere to the ** in the sound of drums and trumpets.
Li Han and Lydia both held up their cameras and took pictures. This honor guard alone took dozens of photos. If they are not bought the largest memory card. At the end of the game, you have to stare dryly.
Tivoli has a very exciting ride, and it even broke a world record: people sit on chairs connected by chains and rise to 8o meters in a spin of 7o kilometers per hour. In this process, it is as if people are really flying in the sky.
Although she was afraid, Lydia was still eager to pull Li Han to line up on the swivel chair, screaming from the beginning to the stop, Li Han couldn't help but start worrying that her throat would be unbearable, and she considered whether to find a way to cook her some throat medicine after returning to the hotel. Just after getting out of the chair, Lydia said with a smile on her face: "Let's go and line up and do it again, it's so exciting!" ”
Li Han could only ......
This stimulation is nothing to Li Han, just listening to the screams of other tourists who have barely stopped, and looking at Lydia's excited expression, he can only secretly sigh in his heart: women are really difficult creatures.
Half an hour before closing, the park is dotted with 1.15 million light bulbs, the park becomes a fairyland-like world, with fireworks in the air, colorful lasers, and 10,000 lights reflected in the lake. The lights on the branches of the trees are complete in size, with different light and shade, setting off the shadows of the trees and the winding paths; The lighting at the water's edge, with different patterns and colors, coupled with ingenious arrangements and artistic intersperses, is reflected on all kinds of different water surfaces, with a sense of mirrors and clouds, and psychedelic and hazy.
According to the staff of Tivoli, the famous fairy tale master Hans Christian Andersen came to Tivoli and was infected by the brilliant lights of the night here, and conceived the prototype of the fairy tale "The Nightingale".
After spending two days in the fairytale world of Copenhagen, they took a boat to a place called Samso Island. Samso is an agricultural island, but it is famous for its wind turbines. These wind turbines are publicly owned by the community, and the electricity they produce is still surplus for the entire island to use, achieving 100% green or renewable energy use, so that the extra electricity is sold to the state, and an energy school is opened, so that each family can make a profit of 2o million euros a year.
As the island's representative building, the design of the School of Energy fulfills a set of ecological building principles. Large floor-to-ceiling windows absorb sunlight and heat, large rooms can be better ventilated naturally, toilets are flushed using rainwater, and walls and windows are also specially insulated, and heating comes from nearby straw heating equipment...... The entire power of the building is supplemented by a series of PV panels supplemented by wind power, all appliances are Class 1 energy-efficient equipment, and the lighting system is also designed to be low-energy.
According to the islanders, the secret of their success lies in their ability to trust each other and do their best. This made Li Han silently feel a little ashamed, the Huangguo people are notoriously not good at cooperation, so the Huangguo people are still working hard to dig coal, work hard to extract oil, and export rare metals and other precious resources cheaply.
In addition to wind power, Samso Island is another "green" point, which comes from the heating system that covers the entire island. In Northern Europe, where the winter is long, the island's heat supply is mainly provided by one wood chip and three straw-burning thermal plants. In addition, there is a solar water heating system as an auxiliary heat source. On the island, 6o% of households have district heating and 4o% have separate household heating. Since the start of the New Energy Island project, the island's residents have been exposed to the role of energy consultants. Counselors are available for free to provide advice on how to improve energy efficiency.
The sea is blue, the beach is white, the air is mild, and the dream life of "red bricks, green trees, blue sea, and blue sky" is perfectly presented here. Li Han took Lydia to live in a hotel named Samus, although it is a hotel, it is actually a family hotel, and on this island with a population of only more than 4,000, there are only such conditions. But they don't care, because they are here to experience the local customs, and staying in a hotel is far behind.
Chef Samus was a kind man with the surname Card, who looked to be no more than forty years old, and had a good hand at cooking. It's not yet the peak tourist season in Denmark, and there aren't many tourists on the island, so Kader invites them to a neighbor's birthday party. Fortunately, Li Han was also a little prepared just in case, some small things with strong ethnic styles of the Huangguo people are still very popular with Westerners, and the face scarf brought by Li Han just came in handy.
The theme of the feast was a barbecue, and the meat was freshly killed sheep, an ancient breed of sheep that was said to have been brought to the island by the Vikings. The Vikings were the Vikings who invaded the coast of Europe and the British islands from the 8th to the 11th centuries AD, covering a vast territory from the Great 6 to the Arctic, a period known as the "Viking Age".
The sheep are black, their horns are almost 36o degrees, and half of their hair is draped around their necks, like the mane of a lion. Fresh lamb is skinned and looks firm in color like venison, with no excess fat or fat.
Card divides the sheep into four portions, each of which looks like a whole leg of lamb. The leg of lamb is slashed with knives to absorb the flavor, and then chopped herbs and small onion chopped into the meat. He doesn't like to marinate the meat with condiments for a while, as he likes to marinate for a while, but he roasts the meat directly on the oven, and the aroma of herbs and small onion flowers quickly spreads and is very tempting.
While the meat was still grilling, Kad made a salad with some local edible flowers, and the salad dressing was replaced with smoked cheese, which looked sweet and delicious. These flowers were all picked by Kad from the neighbors' vegetable patches temporarily, including pumpkin flowers, comfrey flowers, onion flowers, dill flowers, etc., many of which Li Han did not recognize.
"This is nasturtium," said Card, pointing to a red flower, which was very red, not pink at all, "and orange and purple, but this is the only one grown by the Garners." Garner is the neighbor who has just been "plundered" by him, and today their family was also invited, but Li Han didn't know which one it was.
When the meat is done, Gard cuts them into large slices and tosses them with red currant sauce and lemon verbena to taste, which is a reddish sauce. The meat slices are laid out on wooden plates, topped with red sauce, chopped raw strawberries, and sprinkled with white green onions.
There is also a small potato that is only two circles larger than a pea, I don't know what seasoning it was mixed with, it turned completely green, and when it was first served, Li Han thought it was a big bean.
The happy hour ended quickly, just as Li Han pulled Lydia to prepare to go to Norway, his mobile phone suddenly rang, it was a call from assistant Anthony: "Boss, Mr. Harrison has asked you for help and wants to invite you to Thailand." ”
Li Han originally wanted to ask who Harrison was, but when he heard the latter sentence, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it the patient who was hit by the head drop?" (To be continued......)
