Supreme Sacred Ring, Carefree Tycoon!
In the 80s, a good-quality old Hainan Huanghuali round-backed armchair from the Qing Dynasty could be yours for just twenty yuan. Now, two million yuan o...
Clark McKenzie said with a smile: "I reminded him to wear the blindfold when he got off the ship last night, but he forgot..."
Gege was also happy after knowing this. Everyone in the room was happy except Lin Dan who was frowning.
After breakfast, everyone agreed to go out and explore this beautiful town. After all, they would stay here for two days, so they could relax.
Nuuk is still very beautiful in summer. The snow that has covered the area for eight months has disappeared, but you can still see snow on the nearby mountains. Some coniferous trees become lush and green at this time, and flowers bloom in this rare warm season.
Standing at the door of the hotel waiting for the arrival of the local tour guide arranged by the hotel. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, it is really hard to believe that this small town surrounded by greenery is actually a city on the edge of the Arctic Circle.
Because everyone here speaks Danish or Greenlandic, and few speak English, Yang Jing and Gege and their group had to find a tour guide who knew English. After waiting at the hotel entrance for more than ten minutes, an Inuit drove a Ford pickup truck and stopped in front of everyone.
Inuit are what we call Eskimos, but in North America, you'd better not say Eskimos, otherwise they will get angry. If you call someone Eskimo, it's like the Chinese people calling outsiders "little red guys". It would be strange if they don't get angry with you.
Although this guy is a genuine Inuit, he has a very Western name. "Hey, everyone, I'm Jack Atemuk. You can call me Jack. I'm your tour guide today."
This Jack is not the Jack played by Leonardo DiCaprio in "Titanic". This guy is over 1.9 meters tall, has a full beard, and is very tough, comparable to Clark McCann.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yang Jing and Gege, led by Jack, began to tour the city on foot.
Nuuk is too small. Although the city governs an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers, the urban area is too small. Even from the southwestern end of the city to the airport at the northeastern end, the straight-line distance is only five kilometers, and the width is only about two kilometers. It takes less than half a day to walk around the city.
In fact, as the capital of Greenland, Nuuk still receives many tourists from all over the world every year, which has also spawned many local tour guides. However, the best season to come to Nuuk is in winter. Only in that season can you truly experience the polar customs.
Jack was obviously a very qualified tour guide. Along the way, he introduced many famous local buildings and scenery to Yang Jing and Gege, although there was nothing very good to see in this city...
"Do you see that mountain?" Jack pointed to the high mountain in the northeast. The top of the mountain still wore a "white cap" - unmelted snow. "That is the most famous Sadler Mountain in our Gothab. It is located on Sermiziak Island, which is a small island in the Nup Kangrua Fjord in the north. Sadler Mountain is 1,210 meters above sea level and is the highest mountain near Gothab. This mountain often appears as a background in our Gothab panorama and can be seen from most places in the city. It is considered to be the most famous natural scenery in our Gothab."
As Jack spoke, he pulled out a travel brochure like a magician, and on the cover of the brochure was indeed the mountain.
As for Godthob, which Jack mentioned, it is another name for Nuuk. Nuuk is the English name for the capital of Greenland by Westerners, but among the locals, they are more accustomed to calling the city Godthob, because in Greenlandic, Godthob represents good hope.
"Can we go and have a look at that mountain?" asked Gege, whose English was also quite fluent.
Jack smiled and nodded. "Of course, but don't be fooled by the fact that this mountain seems to be very close. In fact, it is 20 kilometers away from us in a straight line, and you need to take a boat to get there. If you are sure you want to go over and appreciate Sadele up close, I can arrange a boat for you."
When Gege heard that they had to take a boat again, she hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head, "Forget it, since we have to take a boat, then let's not go. I've been taking boats these past few days, and I'm getting tired of it."
Jack smiled and didn't take it as an offense.
