Chapter 168: Stockholm Afropathy (2)

There is a saying in Europe that the most handsome boys gather in Italy, while the most beautiful girls come from Sweden. Walking on the street, Li Han was indeed shocked by the Swedish "porcelain dolls" with beautiful faces coming to him, how can the world tolerate such a stunning appearance? Slender legs, crystal clear face, three-dimensional facial features and golden head, beautiful like a fairy. There was a strong suggestion to tax beauties because they always had resources that ordinary people couldn't reach.

If so, then Sweden's "beauty tax", the income should be the highest.

It's a pity that Li Han is also a master now, and for this beautiful woman on the street, he can only watch from a distance and can't play blasphemous. If he had come to Sweden early, where would he have thought about going to dinner? Definitely go straight to a bar, go in and catch a beautiful woman back to the hotel. Bed sheets too.

In Sweden in May, the temperature at night is still very low. Especially when they were about to go back to the hotel after eating, it suddenly started to rain. Luckily, they were all people who were used to spending time in the rainy country of England, and they wore windbreakers with hats that were windproof and waterproof. Therefore, they are not in a hurry to return to the hotel, but hold hands and stroll through the streets against the wind and rain, admiring Stockholm in the rain.

From time to time, a Swedish girl hurried by, dressed heavily and warmly, revealing only a beautiful and flawless face, and the golden silk that was not fully covered by her plush hat fluttered in the cold wind. For a moment, Li Han felt that it was also very sexy to wear a lot, in contrast, to show his chest. The precinct is large. The sexiness of the legs makes people feel vulgar and tiresome.

Lydia also saw her boyfriend's admiring eyes, although she herself was a beautiful woman with golden and blue eyes, she was still jealous and panicked. Originally, they planned to spend at least three days in Sweden, but the next day Lydia directly passed the plan to visit the Old Town and the Royal Institute of Technology, and asked to check out immediately, and leave after seeing the Shipwreck Museum and the Skansen Open Air Museum.

Li Han asked puzzledly: "We have already booked a room for two nights, and the Old Town and Queensisland Palace, as well as the Island of Boats are also worth visiting, as well as other cities in Sweden." Besides, if you just visit the Shipwreck Museum and the Skansen Open Air Museum, it will take a whole day. Where to stay in a hotel in the evening? ”

"We can live on a boat," said Lydia, looking aggrieved, "and we can take a boat to Denmark and experience the Baltic Sea." ”

"Okay, I'm okay," Li Han said helplessly. "Just Lydia darling, can you tell me the reason why you're upset?"

Lydia pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Sweden is rich in beautiful women, I'm afraid you'll regret thinking I'm not good-looking." ”

Li Han was completely stunned, it was the first time he had seen Lydia look so unconfident. The Lydia he remembered had always been beautiful, generous, confident, and elegant, and if it weren't for the fact that Count Reims had no heir, she would have to agonize about getting along with a completely unfamiliar heir in the future, and it would have been almost like a princess.

He hugged his girlfriend in distress and said, "I'm sorry, Lydia, I shouldn't have looked at those women." But you have to know that it is the Swedish beauty that is beautiful. They can't compare to you in my heart, so you don't need to be nervous about this at all. Even if you are not the most beautiful woman in the world, you are my favorite woman in the world. ”

Lydia blushed, for Li Han's rare love words, but also for her own cautious eyes and lack of confidence. She buried her face in Li Han's arms and said sullenly: "I'm sorry, Han, but I still don't want you to stay in Sweden for too long." ”

Li Han patted her back soothingly: "It's okay, Sweden is so small anyway." There aren't many attractions to see, so let's book a ticket first, and then go to see the Shipwreck Museum and the Skansen Open Air Museum, which I actually like. ”

The Skansen Open Air Museum is the world's first open-air museum on Gilkaden Island in Stockholm. Preparations began in 188o and was completed in 1891, which is a pioneering feat in the history of world museums. The museum covers an area of more than 3o hectares. There are 15 shops and workshops that were relocated from the old city of Stockholm, 83 farmhouses from different periods that were relocated from the Swedish Holy Land, and more than 3o buildings such as churches, bell towers, and windmills.

This open-air museum has quite a few rolling hills, and visitors can take an escalator or a mountain train. You can also use the island's ancient horse-drawn carriages to visit the high plateau.

The farmhouse is the main body of the museum, which can basically be divided into two types, the northern and southern regions, and are typical Nordic style wooden houses. In order to truly reflect the architectural appearance of each period, all buildings are restored and displayed in strict accordance with their original state. In addition to the main house, there are storerooms, barns, warehouses, threshing and brewing workshops, and the courtyard is lined with horse-drawn carriages and various agricultural tools. The interior furnishings were also arranged according to the scene of the time, and the staff wearing the traditional national costumes of the time "lived" in this specific environment, creating a strong atmosphere of the times.

In addition to the farmhouse, there is also the lord's mansion, which is not known how many times more luxurious than the farmhouse. It is said to be the only remaining 17th-century square farmhouse in Sweden and Denmark, and the wooden skeleton of the house is very simple. The bedroom, living room, living room, kitchen, and maid's house are exactly as they were 300 years ago.

On the faΓ§ade of the mansion are the main dwellings: on either side are the storeroom, the poultry house, the warehouse, the threshing and the brewery. In the middle there is a spacious courtyard with 17th-century horse-drawn carriages and ancient agricultural implements. Outside the mansion, a huge windmill is slowly turning, surrounded by woods, green water, a tranquil pastoral scene, full of lush life, reminiscent of the 17th century village life.

In addition, there are miners' homes, soldiers' homes, woodcutters' huts, etc., which are found in almost all classes and occupations, and it is simply a miniature town.

The museum also has an amphitheater, dance ground, playground, children's playground, zoo, restaurant and other facilities, coupled with the carefully planned ancient streets, farmlands, pastures and pastoral scenery around it, it has become a natural park with all kinds of people, no wonder it is known as the "Broney Forest of Sweden".

It is a fascinating combination of Swedish folk traditions and arts, as well as a natural combination of Nordic folklore and nature, to give an insight into Swedish life from the 16th century to the present. It can be said that after seeing this open-air museum, there are many places including the Old Town that you can not see, and it blends together the scenery of Sweden.

In the central part of the museum there is an old wooden church, which is more than 300 years old. The exterior of the church is painted in striking ta-red paint, and the interior is covered with snow-white walls. On the low domed ceiling, stories from the Bible are depicted. The altar, organ and old clock in the church all give people a solemn and solemn feeling. In the Middle Ages, the churches of each parish had their own seats for the peasants. This ancient church is well preserved and is still in use today, and it is said that many citizens enjoy worshipping and marriage ceremonies here.

In order to better reflect the life of the city in the past, and to enhance the atmosphere and rendering, the museum has also restored 15 buildings relocated from the old city of Stockholm to the left side of the main entrance, forming an old street with workshops and shops such as glass, pottery, tanning, printing, iron, herbs, bakery, old banks, merchants' residences, and the residence of Hazrius, the founder of the Skansen Open Air Museum.

Visitors can also watch demonstrations of traditional metal crafts, glass blowing, baking, cheese making, book binding, and more. The finished product was sold on the spot, Li Han, a local tyrant, bought almost everything, added a big bag of luggage, and almost had lunch, on the way to travel, the bread coated with cheese was a very good enjoyment, and then went to buy two grilled fragrant pickled herring, which could almost lick off his nose.

Every holiday, there will be theater performances, concerts, customs dances, and various unique folk celebrations here, but unfortunately Li Han and they came at the wrong time, so they can only regrettably miss it.

After visiting the Skansen Open Air Museum until about two o'clock in the afternoon, they suddenly remembered that there was still a Vaasa shipwreck museum to visit, so they could only reluctantly leave here and go straight to the Navia Peninsula.

The Vaasa Shipwreck Museum is one of Sweden's many museums dedicated to the exhibition of a wreck of the Vaasa that was salvaged from the sea. The museum was built near the ruins of the Vasa, the most luxurious warship of its time, which sank in 1628 in a strong wind just two kilometers from the harbor.

Vasa is the name of an ancient warship, which began to be built in 1625 by the will of King Gustav II of Sweden. The ship was originally a single-deck gunboat, but the king learned that Denmark, Sweden's maritime rival at that time, already had double-decker gunboats, so he ordered the gunboat to be converted into a double-decker ship, regardless of the technical conditions of the country at that time.

It is a warship with a total of 5 decks and 64 cannons on it. Under the first mast squatted a huge statue of a golden lion, the keel of the stern is as high as a 6-story ordinary building, divided into 5o floors, and more than 7oo sculptures are carefully carved, which is comparable to the Royal Palace of Sweden. These painted or gilded sculptures range from mighty knights in armor to graceful mermaids, Roman soldiers wielding swords and slashing swords, mythological figures, various coats of arms and Christian "Bibles", and "luonv", a symbol of beauty and purity. At the top of the sculpture are two lions on the gold-leafed coat of arms of the Swedish royal coat of arms.

In appearance, this qiΔ“ is so magnificent, colorful, resplendent, majestic and magnificent, it is truly worthy of being a prominent warship, not only the oldest and best-preserved warship in the world that has been salvaged, but also a huge treasure trove of art, decorated with various exquisite carvings on the ship, showing the Baroque art style popular in Sweden under the influence of the late Renaissance in the 17th century.

It's just that at that time, this battleship could only represent a joke, and if it had been sentient, it would have laughed at the king's stupidity while resenting that it could only travel 2 kilometers, right?
