The railway transportation in Finland is really too slow. Chinese people who are used to high-speed trains are really not used to the speed of this old-fashioned night train. China's railway transportation speed is the world's first is not blown.

And it's night, so you don't even want to see the scenery from the car window.

Just wandering around all night like this, almost shaking people to pieces. Finally at 7:30 in the morning, the team arrived at the capital of Lapland - the hometown of Santa Claus!

There is nothing to do at leisure, Chen Ergou turned on a drone camera, and the surprise broadcast began——

It was already 11:30 in the morning in China, and it was time to eat lunch, but many water friends suddenly received the notice of the start of the live broadcast room, and immediately began to call for friends and come here.

The water friends who got the reminder clicked into the live broadcast room, and the first thing they saw was the darkness of the night.

"Good morning everyone... Oh no, it should be good afternoon."

Chen Ergou grudgingly raised his spirits to greet his water friends, and said, "We are now in Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland, Finland. The time is 7:30... Everyone has seen it, and it's not yet dawn here!"

"Good morning, Mr. Dog."

"Mom from the dog's pot~"

"Look at the beauties and beauties, we want to see the goddesses, the photographer quickly change the lens..." The audience is the uncle, Chen Ergou quickly pointed the camera at Xiaomi and Yun'er, and now the nerds are at peace.

"My Cao, what did I see, Rengar, J-20... Why didn't I see them two yesterday. Haha, this is interesting. I'm just a little worried about them. Can African animals adapt to the North Pole?"

"Wow, Lord Dog, where are you guys? Why is it still dark?"

Indeed, on a clear morning, it was still as dark as the night.

Obviously when I came here from China, it was still at the tail end of summer, but there was already a heavy snowfall here. All the people were terribly frozen, leaning against the starlight street lamps in the cold and darkness, waiting for the car prepared by the program team.

At this time, everyone was exhausted and the jet lag hadn't completely reversed. They just wanted to sleep soundly.

Not in the mood to interact with water friends.

Let's warm it up.

The official program hasn't started yet.

When the sky was still dark, the convoy finally arrived, and everyone went to the first stop - the reindeer farm.

Rovaniemi is known as the hometown of Santa Claus. The world-famous Santa Claus Village is located on the Arctic Circle on the edge of the suburb, 8 kilometers north of Rovaniemi. Passing through the entrance of the high archway, one can see a thick white line lying on the ground, which reads "66 degrees 33 minutes north latitude".

"Look, everyone, that's the dividing line of the Arctic Circle!"

Chen Ergou reminded the drowsy people in the car.

Everyone cheered up and looked at the scenery outside the car.

It turns out that this line is the dividing line of the Arctic Circle, and the places north of this line belong to the range of the Arctic.

Huang Jiaozhu was surprised: "So, we have entered the Arctic Circle?!"

"Huh, what are they doing?"

"Going in and out of the Arctic Circle repeatedly? City people really know how to play."

Chen Ergou said with a smile: "We have to go there too. When you come here, you must get a certificate of reaching the Arctic Circle issued by the Arctic Line at 66 degrees 33 minutes north latitude, which can be regarded as proof that you have been to the North Pole!"

The convoy stopped, and there were two or two private cars parked there, probably European family tourists, and many people jumped on the line.

Getting in and out of the North Pole is fun.

Everyone also got out of the car one after another to experience it. The bouncing and bouncing dispelled a little fatigue.

The live broadcast room is also full of excitement——

"666, this is the Arctic Circle?!"

"The scenery of the world of ice and snow makes me feel that I don't need to turn on the air conditioner at home."

"The city knows how to play, and repeatedly enters and exits the North Pole, 2333, fortunately they want to get it."

"Hurry up and get the certificate, let's see what the certificate looks like?"

The water friends urged, Chen Ergou and others naturally would not forget.

The certificate is actually very simple, just take a photo and print it, and pay the production cost.

"Hey, this is the certificate that proves that we have come to the Arctic Circle!"

This is just a means of attracting tourists to tourist attractions, and it is often used in China. But for tourists, this is what they need. Everyone held their own certificates and continued to embark on the journey with satisfaction.

Pass by Santa Claus Village, which is a group of wooden buildings, including the spire with the main entrance, restaurant, flower garden, Santa Claus office, residence, post office, shopping mall, deer park, etc.

Every year, a steady stream of tourists flock here from all over the world to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus. In the gift shop at Santa's Village. Visitors can buy beautifully designed Finnish gifts for friends and family, and of course certificates for crossing the Arctic Circle.

There are not too many tourists now, they, together with the crew and the camera, are the largest and most special group of tourists.

Although it is still far away from Christmas, it is rare to come to the birthplace of Santa Claus, and it is natural to feel the real Christmas atmosphere of the Northland.

A first snowfall also seems to give the place a festive atmosphere in advance, and Christmas-related settings and buildings can be seen everywhere.

Chen Ergou saw a drone camera that was taking pictures of his face, and pushed away speechlessly, "Did you take pictures like this?"

It was Chen Xiaohu who operated the camera.

He shrugged and said, "Say something, and introduce it to the water friends.... Arranged by the director!"

The water friends snickered, "Master Tiger, don't be cowardly, just do it!"

Chen Ergou paused, and really started to take out the dry goods, saying: "Actually, the dispute over the hometown of Santa Claus has been entangled for many years. But at the 40th World Santa Claus Convention, the conclusion has actually been reached All the Santa Clauses voted through, thinking that Greenland is the former home of Santa Claus. The reason is that it is red and purple: they think that Greenland has the most reindeer in the world..."

"Ah? Isn't this the hometown of Santa Claus?" Xiaomi next to him asked in surprise.

Peng Yuyan asked curiously, "Where is Greenland?"

Chen Ergou shook his head and explained: "Greenland is very remote and too far away. It is far less lively than here. But the result of the vote is not recognized by Finland. Finns don't participate in this conference at all, let alone participate in voting .”

"Now, on the coast of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, there is the largest mailbox in the world, specially set up for Santa Claus. Although the excitement here is far less than that in Finland, it still receives nearly 100,000 letters from all over the world every year.  … …It’s the same as the red wooden house mailbox there.” He pointed and showed everyone the iconic red wooden house in the Finnish Christmas Village.

"That's the visitor center and Santa's office."

Everyone nodded one after another. It turned out that there was such a saying.

Every year only when Christmas is approaching, the Christmas Village in Rovaniemi will start to be busy, and now it is off-season.

Another important factor that attracts tourists here is that it just crosses the Arctic Circle. Seeing the polar circle line beneath your feet in summer and the line above your head in winter into the North Pole appeals to many adults, let alone children.

And there is Santa Claus here to take a group photo, how can you not visit the camp gate.

Although it is the off-season, Christmas Village is still too lively for the "Justice League". This is not the place where they want to experience "Survival in the Wild".

Continue to walk north, because the snow is too deep, it is not suitable for cars to go deeper.

The team changed to another means of transportation - snowmobiles.

This was exciting, the strong wind blew straight at the skin, and everyone hurriedly wrapped their buckskin hats tightly in the cold. Sitting behind Chen Ergou, Xiaomi wished he could put his head into his arms to hide from the wind.

Fortunately, Rengar and J-22 were not afraid of the cold at all. One stood on its shoulder, braving its might against the cold wind, occasionally spreading its wings slightly to maintain balance. One continued to occupy the position on his chest, that was its chassis.

Chen Ergou said loudly to the camera: "My friends, I must introduce you to the customs and folk customs here!"

“Some people in the area prefer winter to summer, especially the reindeer herders.”

"Finnish Lapland is huge. It's bigger than Portugal, but the concept of Lapland is bigger and bigger. Many tourists think they have reached Lapland, but they have only traveled halfway. Go further north , the more you can understand the true meaning of Lapland.”

"We are now walking north along the 'arm' of northwestern Finland. The coniferous forests on the horizon have been completely covered by sudden snowfall, and the birch trees have shrunk to a height of one meter; meanwhile, the moorland rises around you. Since then, you have also fallen into a quietness that is hard to find in the world. There, even if you can see far away, all you can hear is your own breathing and the crunch of your boots in the snow. Once you visit Kiel in Enontekiö Visit the small village of Lake Peace and you can see why so many tourists return year after year."

"Okay, not much to say. The wind has fed me... Today's live broadcast is almost here. We will officially start the second phase of the wilderness survival journey at 15:00 Yanjing time tomorrow, the Finnish Arctic Circle with difficulty A+ .See you there then!"

Although the short live broadcast ended before they were addicted to watching, the audience knew that they were in trouble, and there was a good show to watch tomorrow.

I can't help but become more and more interested in this trip to Finland.
