Not all Norwegians love Oslo, but every Norwegian loves Bergen.

It could also be asking, what does Bergen have? When the plane has not yet landed, outside the portholeFairyland-like mountains, forests, lakes and seas, as wellA neatly lined fairy tale hut on the mountain, seems to have already answered this question. But Bergen is clearly not an empty place, and it's still interesting – ask what other city in the world would be willing to put such a huge label on its façade (more than 5 meters high, 25 tons of weight)?

Bergen, the cold kiss of the mountains and the sea.
"When you find your way to the mountains and fjords, you get a taste of the true beauty of the country. ”So said Ibsen, Norway's greatest dramatist. Bergen has both. Each one is steep but each with its own styleFjord, spelling out Norway's long and winding west coast. That isThe only landform that China is missing。Glaciers from tens of thousands of years ago carved the cliffs here, and when the glaciers melted, the water poured into the valleys, adding a touch of tenderness to the scene.

If the fjords are a love letter to the sea and the mountains, and the Norwegians are the children of the fjords, the Bergenians must be the most beloved of them all. GentleHardangerfjord, and full of pristine charm, known as the "king of the fjord".Sognefjord, one south and one north, embracing it like a mother. Even the turbulent currents of the Atlantic Ocean entering Bergen's port have to "spring wind and rain".

Under the action of ocean currents, Bergen becameNorway's "warmest city".It has also become the famous "rain capital" of Norway. The average temperature of the local area can reach 10 throughout the yearIt rains 270 days a yearThere are only a handful of days when you can see the sun. It is said that there is a bad joke in Bergen: a tourist asks a local boy when the rain in Bergen will stop.

On the other side of the sea are mountains. Before the name change to Bergen, Bergen used to be called BJ R**IN, where BJ RG is a mountain and VIN is a pasture and meadow. In other words,The whole city is a green meadow surrounded by mountains。If you want to go into the mountains of Norway, you have to go with it firstMountain DemonCome face to face. Legend has it that these old-looking elves are the natives of Norway, who have been in charge of Norway's night and day together with the Vikings, and have been guarding the harmonious coexistence of man and nature in this land for generations. 
Giant Mountain Demon. To the south of Bergen, across the Hardangerfjord, there is oneA strange stone called "Tongue of the Mountain Demon".: On the steep mountain, "a" flat, slender rock protrudes from the image, and under the stone, it is completely suspended in the air. Visitors cautiously walk to the rockIt is 700 meters away from the lake at your feet。The mountain demons here guard the scenery that only a few brave people can see.

In comparison, Bergen's territory is obviously much cuter. The deeper you go into the mountains, the more casual the vegetation becomes. Moss crawled all over the stones and tree trunks, brightly coloredWild berriesTrying to hide in the low, fried-up bushes, the tall pines cut the sky into interesting shapes. In the cold air, creatures at different altitudes have their own wonders.

Pedestrians also muted themselves, letting the pure air wash their eyes and hearts, and each could only hear each other's footsteps. Not far away, a group of children with red faces were lining up to go down the mountain. Norwegians' belief in nature and fresh air is cultivated from an early age. As infants, they often sleep outdoors in strollers, and 80% of the time in kindergarten is spent outside the classroom. Mina, the youngest winner of the Norwegian Wilderness Award, completed a 57-day hike with her father in the winter when she was 2 years old. By the time she was 5 years old, Mina had slept in a tent for more than 300 days.

The Norwegians will be like this"In the open air, away from everyday dwellings, for physical and mental well-being".The way of life, summed up by the word "friluftsliv". They even amended the law specifically for this purpose to guarantee that everyone has the right to enjoy nature and roam freely. There are also many cities in Norway like Bergen that are surrounded by greenery and offer everyone an environment that can be "hidden in the wilderness" at any time. Cultivating from a young age to become an "outdoor special forces" is a kind of friluftsliv; At university, obtaining an outdoor-related degree is also a kind of friluftsliv; Even a morning dog walk, an afternoon picnic, and a weekend bike ride with a beer are the simplest friluftslivs.
All human beings are born with the right to enjoy nature.

Science** states that spending as little as two hours a week in a natural environment, such as a park or green space, can improve well-being. This may be the reason for the high level of happiness of Norwegians。They are always in a way of "going out", embracing the wind and rain, adapting to the unpredictable natural environment, and having fun. There's also an old Norwegian saying that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes.
Small city, but hidden.
Enough surprises.
A few years ago, the authoritative lifestyle magazine Monocle selected Bergen as:The best small city in the world。The review reads: The city is surrounded by picturesque mountains and is the gateway to the fjords of Western Norway. In addition to hiking, other recreational options include diving into saltwater pools in the summer, train tours in the winter, and skiing in Vos and Gero. The humid weather can be a bit annoying, but it's what gives the city a bustling and beautiful indoor nightlife. The city offers a rich culture, diverse careers, and advanced planning, while also having plenty of room to breathe ......

Bergen's goodness is not a monocle's claim. Other than that, it isRecognized as the cultural capital of Europe, as wellOfficially recognized by the United Nations as a City of Gastronomy。Around the 14th century, German merchants were the first to take a fancy to Bergen's fish resources and geographical advantages. They are along withBryggen PierA row of compact wooden houses with steeples was built and used as the Nordic headquarters of the commercial organization "Hanseatic League", for a timeMonopolized the goods of the whole of Northern Europe**

German merchants would trade grain, salt, wine, and honey with the British for natural and high-quality dried cod, butter, and animal skins, which were then shipped across Norway. Nowadays, Norwegian salmon is sold all over the world, but most Bergen people are more accustomed to itIt is called "white**".Cod。Most of them come from the deep sea, and they have cultivated tenacity and wildness in more complex water environments, and they are the most homely delicacy when simply boiled in cream. If you want to rejuvenate quickly after countless cold days, sometimes you just need a bite of fish soup.

Over the centuries, the wooden houses at the Brügen Pier have undergone numerous fires and reconstructions, and the baroque style of German architecture has gradually been replaced by a large area of bright colors such as red, yellow, blue and white, like a fairy tale cottage painted with candy. In 1979, UNESCO included BrügenworldCircle Heritage ListThe story of Brügen has since opened a new chapter – the warehouse on the ground floor and the dwelling on the second floor have been transformed into museums, handicraft shops and restaurants with a wide range of European flavours. Today, visitors can still walk through narrow passages, step onto creaky wooden floors, buy ore from old grandfathers from all over Norway, or spot a mountain demon ...... hiding on a roofMany surprises are still hidden here.

The fish market, across the harbour from Brüggen, is responsible for establishing Bergen's reputation as the "City of Gastronomy". It's called a fish market, but it's also a small one"Oceanographic Museum".Finish. Every morning, as the fresh catch is landed, stall owners who are proficient in multilingual greeting are also on time to provide "professional guides" to customers from all over the world. You can soak up a satisfying amount of protein and flavor knowledge with a sliced and plated seafood collection, or you can take a "ocean surrounder" with you before leavingCanned caviar
Kode Museum of Art.
There are also many real museums in Bergen. In previous years, the Kode** Society acquired several art galleries located on the shores of Lake Lillelungergardsvannet in the city centre, renumbered and composed themThe largest museum cluster in all of Northern Europe。Each pavilion has a permanent exhibition. In Hall 3, you can walk into Munch's memories of the city and experience the diversity of human creative methods from landscape oil paintings to modern installation art. Or just chill out in front of a large window, and you'll be captivated by the geometric trail of wild birds flying outside, making for the most memorable afternoon. Encounters in Bergen are often more surprising than the permanent exhibitions. The city seems to "randomly drop" all sorts on a daily basisArts festivals, film festivals, jazz festivals……What used to be a sardine canning factory can be transformed into an industrial-style performance scene; The old ** exchange building, which is used to create a neo-Renaissance style restaurant, could not be better; Outdoor seating and blankets outside the café and hot shop are open to residents, tourists, rock stars, Norwegian forest cats.

Isn't a city a gathering of people? The opening ceremony of the Bergen International Festival, which took place in the rain in the rain, was named after it. It's true that it's full of great places where art happens, but Grieg has one of the most enviable secrets. After visiting Grieg's house nestled in the mountains, a winding path leads the wayLake Norda。At the end of the road is Grieg's hut for himself.
Grieg Cottage.
The people of Bergen played classical music and symphonies at an early age. It is said that in the same year that Beethoven's Second Symphony was released, the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra held its own performanceIt is 78 years earlier than the world-famous Berlin Philharmonic。In the rich atmosphere of the Philharmonic, Grieg is the focus of attention for a long time. Therefore, when it is time to compose, he will choose to go to the mountains and rivers alone, so that the beauty of the northern morning or the poetry in the cold fog will naturally flow into his musical score. NowadaysGrieg Museum (troldsalen).The ** hall has been carefully designed, and the stage background wall has been replaced with a transparent glass curtain wall. As the audience sits and enjoys the performances of contemporary artists, they are also facing Grieg's cottage and the scenery that once accompanied him day and night.

This is reminiscent of Jon Fosse's Nobel Prize-winning speech in literature, in which he quotes the Norwegian poet Olaf HHauge (ol** h.).Hauge), who likens the act of writing to a child building a hut out of leaves in the forest, then climbing into the hut, lighting a candle, sitting in a dark autumn night and feeling safe.
Fosse Literary Corner. In becoming.
Before winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, he was also a rock guitarist.
So why do we hear literary sex in Grieg's ** and see **sex in Jon Fosse's plays? Why, after the discovery of oil resources, did the Norwegians not pile up tall buildings on the land, but continued to carefully guard those wooden houses? Why do Norwegians still stubbornly live in the mountains and forests, on the banks of seashores and rivers, and on icy islands in the face of global urbanization? “bergen？One of these problems is one of the solutions.
