A complete list of famous tourist cities in Finland
"Xin is a Qianhu Country with many harbors, forest peaks and mountains, and islands like stars." This is a poem left by Guo Moruo when he visited Finland in the 1950s. In the impression of many China, Finland is a distant country. But in fact, she is much closer than expected. Finland and China are only separated by Russia, and it takes only 8 hours to fly from Beijing or Shanghai to Helsinki.
Finland is extremely rich in forest resources. The mountains, hills, and islands here account for 71% of the country's total area, with an average of 5 hectares per person. The first impression you get when you set foot on Finland is that forests are everywhere. In addition to forests, Finland is also known as the "Land of Thousand Islands" and the "Land of Thousands of Lakes": to be precise, there are 187,888 lakes and 179,584 islands across the country.

Lapland enters winter in October every year, and spring does not begin until May of the following year. The entire winter lasts for 8 months. Looking around here, there are almost all forests and rivers, but in winter, they are all covered with white snow, clear as ice and jade, and endless as far as the eye can see, like a fairyland outside the world. Around the winter solstice, people can personally feel the polar night and see the starlight that lasts for 24 hours; around the summer solstice, people can feel the polar day and see the sun that lasts for 24 hours.
It is said that Santa Claus sets out from here every year on a sleigh to send Christmas gifts to children around the world. It seems that this place should only be a fairy tale world. Lapland is known as "the last original reservation in Europe." As long as you go through the winter of Lapland, you will understand why Santa Claus chose this place to settle in the extreme north. There is no modern industrial pollution in Lapland, no trace of dust. Everywhere you go, there are vast forests, frozen lakes and harbors, pure wilderness, and the northern lights hanging from the sky, shining with dazzling and mysterious light. Everything is like a fairy tale, beautiful and peaceful.
