The entire archipelago is within the Arctic Circle, with a cold climate, picturesque scenery, and sparse population. From a distance, the archipelago looks like a chain that seems to be connected, so the locals call it the "Lofoten Wall". The Lofoten Islands are one of the best-protected fishing village islands in Norway. It is a place full of beautiful scenery. Even if you walk around on the road, you can encounter shocking scenery. It is quiet and peaceful here, but it reveals a beauty with power. Various small fishing villages are located on each island. Rows of fishermen's huts are built along the coast. The red-walled and white-windowed huts are scattered on the coastline, with the blue sea, snow-capped mountains in the distance and green grasslands. Under the reflection of the sun, breathe the fresh air, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the tranquility is beautiful.

Beautiful place characterized by colorful wooden houses along the harbor. A great place to explore.
Bryggen is located on the seashore 3 km west of the center of Bergen. Bryggen means "embankment" in Norwegian. Most of the buildings in the town are old wooden houses, which are famous for their concentration of ancient buildings. These renovated wooden houses have been restored to their past appearance. Most of them are three-story buildings, with narrow windows, steep roofs, and gables made of wooden strips. The houses generally have stone basements. There is also an open-air museum consisting of 35 wooden houses from the 18th and 19th centuries, which showcases the old style of the town.

There is the famous Atlantic Ocean Coast Highway here. It is 8.3 kilometers long and was opened to traffic in 1989. It consists of 8 bridges, spanning between small islands and reefs. You can enjoy the natural landscape of each small island along the way. When I visited in early June last year, the road was closed due to the filming of the latest 007 movie. I missed the most magnificent section of the highway and could only take a walk and take photos nearby!
The Hardangerfjord and the famous Geirangerfjord are known as one of the three major fjords in Norway. There are also magnificent sea canyons here. The sea water in the fjord is very calm. On a clear day, it is like a huge mirror, reflecting the sky and the canyon in it, which is magnificent.

Winding clear and abundant streams, lush forests, white waterfalls hanging high, fresh grass, red houses scattered in between, and characteristic wooden churches, this is a small town called Flem. In September 2013, I traveled to Northern Europe by train from Oslo to Myrdal, and then took a 1-hour scenic train to arrive. Finally, I stayed for 2 nights. It rained that day, and white fog filled the mountainside, like a holy wonderland. The next day, the sun was shining brightly. I rented a car and rode on the road of the green mountains and countryside. There was a train passing through the forest. Except for the birdsong and the gurgling stream, no other sound could be heard. There are apple orchards in front of the beautiful villas of every household. There are 10 routes for cycling and hiking. It is a must-visit stop for the epitome of Norway.
You must go to an island this summer!
A tour along the domestic coastline
This time we chose Dongji Island in Zhejiang
This is the filming location of the movie "See You Tomorrow", a place worth visiting more than the Arctic and Antarctic.
Dongji Island has sunshine, blue sea, islands and reefs, and seafood.

The fish resources here are also very rich. Many professional locals mainly buy big fish. The fish market is also very lively. There are still many people buying fresh fish. You can taste the fish here.
Norwegian salmon is world-famous. The fish market in Bergen really opened my eyes. The black, ferocious-looking fish in the first picture is very delicious, according to the stall owner, and the catch is very small.

A touristy but very fun activity to get to the top of the city and get a bird's eye view of the area.
Bergen is the capital of Hordaland County in Norway and the second largest city in Norway. It is also the largest and most beautiful port city on the west coast of Norway. It was selected as the "European Capital of Culture" by the United Nations in 2000. It has a mild and rainy climate and is known as a "rainy city".

had a great time here with friends! we took the floibanen and it was amazing
On Floyen, near the harbor. If your schedule is too tight, you can spend a day visiting it. The mountain is lush with trees, mostly towering trees. The air is fresh. You can choose a cable car or climb up slowly. There are even locals who bring sheep up the mountain together!

The Nalerfjord in Oslo is also a very beautiful fjord. The spring here is very beautiful. The whole canyon is dressed in green, lush and green, with a strong spring atmosphere, which is incredibly beautiful.
The fjord is a rare and unique landform on the planet, and its name comes from Norway. This place has the narrowest fjord in the world, so you should take some time to see it!

Bergen Cathedral is the most famous church in Norway. The whole church is very old and the structure is very complex. Various domes show the grandeur of the church. The statues in the church are also very lifelike. They have the solemnity of the statues and are also very precious church works of art.
The cathedral has a beautiful exterior and a very Nordic style. Although it is not very grand, it feels very refreshing.
