努力的三号:“Odense, the third largest city in Denmark, follows Andersen's footsteps to explore this fairy-tale city. The square is not very lively, but it does gather many buildings and cultural relics, and the overall feeling is very good.”

juki235:“Odense is the birthplace of Andersen. There are two former childhood residences of Andersen. One was when he was a baby, and the other was when he was a teenager. The two former residences were not far apart. They are all very ordinary one-storey houses with relatively simple furnishings, which shows that Andersen's family is not very wealthy.”

灯火通明的**:“The larger museums and manors are here to learn about Danish rural life and customs more than a hundred years ago. The exhibits are in Danish, English and German. The brochure also has Chinese and French. You can get a better understanding of local customs, but it's not very interesting.”

whoisangel:“I strongly recommend that you have the opportunity to experience this cruise, it is a very worthwhile trip. It is a very good choice to feel the charm of Andersen's hometown and listen to Andersen's stories. It is a very relaxing trip of about 2 hours, and you can feel the local cultural atmosphere.”

whoisangel:“Odense Zoo is very well-known in the local area. I strongly recommend that you go there for a trip. You must remember to visit the zoo. It is very unique and you can see many animals that you can't see in China. In addition, the guides are very enthusiastic and detailed in describing the whole situation. I suggest that you should study English well and constantly improve your English skills. If you are good at English, you will be happy when traveling and you can better integrate into the local culture.”

灯火通明的**:“The central church of Odense is located near the Town Hall Square. The bell tower is tall and the colors are simple and elegant, which is very eye-catching. The interior of the church is very simple. Behind it is the Andersen Fairy Tale Park, which has flowers and plants and a statue of Andersen.”

_WB***91:“The restaurant is in a five-hundred-year-old building. It is small and cozy, with elegant decoration and typical European style. Sitting in the courtyard with a high glass roof, surrounded by green creepers, it feels like dining outdoors. The shrimps ordered for the appetizer are very delicious, and the sauce is made by the restaurant itself, which is delicious. The steak may be overcooked and hard because we ordered it 90% rare. According to the introduction on the wall of the restaurant, the queen has eaten at this restaurant. There were quite a lot of locals on the night we dined, and the rooms on the first floor were full. Because the customers paid the bill, I didn't know how much it cost. I saw that there was a set meal on the menu. The three-course set meal was 382 kronor, and the portion was large. I was almost full after eating the appetizer.”
