Yunluo will introduce it in detail later. Let's take a look at the prices. They are still acceptable. They are beautiful and delicious. The toy store above the big shopping mall illum has Lego and various teddy bears. There are also boss black, red and orange brands and Armani, as well as rimowa trolley cases. This mall is one of the main malls in Copenhagen. You can come and have a look.
There is a restaurant on the top floor of the big shopping mall illum. Please note that the malls here basically close at 20:00 in the evening, and even earlier on weekends. Students who want to know some brand information can check the mall's official website. I walked around the pedestrian street quickly, and before I had time to go into LV to check the prices, I found that it was already 11:30.
There was still half an hour before the 12:00 Amalienborg Palace guard change ceremony, so I rode my bike towards Amalienborg Palace without hesitation. The colors of European buildings are bright and colorful. I passed by the bronze statue in front of Christiansborg Palace. Christiansborg Palace was first built between 1773 and 1775.
In order to enjoy himself, King Christian VI razed the old palace (Copenhagen Palace) to the ground and built a new palace that was magnificent, gorgeous and comfortable. Since this palace was the bedroom of King Christian VI, it was named Christiansborg Palace. Christiansborg Palace has the European 18th century Rococo architectural style.
Christiansborg Palace has been used as a parliament since 1849. Today, Christiansborg Palace is the seat of the Danish Parliament, and is therefore also known as the Parliament Building. The National Assembly, Folketinget, is the legislative body of Denmark, with a total of 179 seats, 175 from mainland Denmark, 2 from Greenland, and 2 from the Faroe Islands.
I passed by the Copenhagen Stock Exchange by bike. CSE is one of the exchanges under the Swedish OMX Group OMX. It is located on the same island as the Parliament Building. The exchange is a Renaissance building built in 1624 and is the oldest stock exchange in the world that is still in use.
It is also the most distinctive building in Copenhagen, with a bronze spire with four dragons coiled around it. This place looks like it is 400 years old, the walls are like this. I stopped to take pictures and was very interested in this building. Later I found out that it was the stock exchange.
With nearly 400 years of history, the walls of this stock exchange are covered with vicissitudes, but how many money legends have been created here? There are many special bicycles here, the kind with riders at the back and carts at the front, which are very similar to some obsolete bicycles in big cities in China. After passing the stock exchange, I found that I had ridden past it, so I quickly turned back. The sea water on the roadside is also sparkling.
We are getting closer and closer to Amalienborg Palace. We can even see the spire of the church. This seems to be a bridal shop. Tour of Copenhagen, on the way to Amalienborg Palace. The camera in the basket is about to fall apart. Danish National Opera Copenhagen Passing by the Royal Danish Opera, two weeks after the publication of A Doll's House by Norwegian playwright Ibsen.
It was first performed here. I will talk about it later. The opera house is across the harbor, and behind Yunluo is the Amalienborg Palace. The royal guards in black hats and blue pants are patrolling. The red single-person sentry box is really interesting. The palace is a gray-brown Gothic building. The exterior is simple, and the four buildings are respectively the current Queen Margrethe II, the king's husband, and the crown prince.
The residence of the second prince and his guests. The royal guards in the distance are already walking towards the square. The professor still has a corner. The entire square is not large, and the four buildings are really identical. I wonder how Her Majesty the Queen can distinguish them. The square is full of tourists waiting to watch the handover ceremony. The bronze statue of King Frederick V on horseback made by the French sculptor Saly.
Frederik V. King of Denmark and Norway. In 1754, he founded the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In the same year, he purchased the Danish West Indies. His first wife was Louisa, daughter of King George II of England. He lived with her for 14 years and had five children. She died while pregnant with her sixth child.
His second wife was the daughter of the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, and their son, Crown Prince Frederick, was the father of the later King Christian VIII. When Christian VII suffered from schizophrenia, she and her son, Crown Prince Frederick, served as regents. Frederick V also had five illegitimate children.
During his reign, he often drank heavily. His government relied on several wise ministers, which made Denmark remain neutral even during the Seven Years' War and not involved in any war. He reigned for 20 years and died at the age of 43. His last words were: "I have never offended anyone. I didn't have a drop of blood on my hands, and I felt very comforted at the last moment."
He was buried next to Queen Louisa's tomb in Roskilde Cathedral. The Royal Guard came to change the guards surrounded by police and tourists. There were police and police equipment all around, and it was very quiet. The whole ceremony was very long. After the formation, the guards began to patrol the field and replace every sentry on duty.
The royal style is so formal and grand. If it is a festival or a grand event, the clothes will be changed into red. The dome building in the distance in the square is Frederick's Church, also known as Frederikskirke. Commonly known as Marmorkirken, it is a church in Copenhagen, Denmark, located in Frederiksborg District, north of Amalienborg Palace.
Frederick Church and the entire Fredericksburg district were designed by architect nicolaieigtved in 1740 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Oldenburg dynasty ascending the Danish throne. Frederick Church has the largest church dome in Scandinavia, with a span of 31 meters, but there are three domes in Europe that are larger than it.
The inspiration may have come from St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, now St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Frederick V laid the foundation stone for the church, but budget cuts and Eigtved's death in 1754 forced construction to halt and it lay abandoned for 150 years. The original plan to build it almost entirely in marble had to be abandoned, and limestone was used instead.
The current church was designed by Ferdinand Meldahl and opened on August 19, 1894. The inscription above the pillars reads: "But the word of the Lord endures forever." (1 Peter 1:25) Surrounding the church are a series of sculptures of outstanding theologians and church figures, including the Danish philosopher Thorn Oberkohl Kegaard.
Look, the person missing from the middle of the last row is the one who just started work. In the middle of the 18th century, the royal palace was located in Christiansborg. When planning the city where Amalienborg Palace is located, King Frederick V decided to build a new center here. For this purpose, he donated this piece of land to the four great nobles of Denmark.
They were required to build a palace with the same appearance. The palace was designed by the most famous architect Nicolai Igtved, and a bronze statue on horseback was to be built for the king. After intensive construction, the four palaces were built one after another between 1754 and 1760. According to the design, an octagonal square was formed in front of the four palaces.
Seven years later, Frederick V passed away. Three years later, in 1768, a bronze statue of Frederick V on horseback, made by French sculptor Salisbury, was placed in the center of the square. At that time, the company used the money earned from trade with China to build a fence for the statue. Later, the four palaces changed hands several times, but they were always inhabited by nobles.
In 1794, Christiansborg was destroyed by fire, and the royal family decided to move to the Amalienborg Palace. Since then, it has been the residence of the royal family. Now, whenever Queen Margrethe II stays at the palace, the Danish flag is raised on the building where she lives. In the afternoon. After taking a panoramic photo of the square, I took another photo with the guards.
I got on my bike and continued to move forward like the Little Mermaid. Italian Embassy? The church next to the Gefion Fountain. I rode towards the Little Mermaid and actually passed by the Gefion Fountain, thinking that I would come back in a few days. But I didn't come to take a closer look after four days.
But then again, this fountain is really not very eye-catching. Gefion Fountain Gefion Fountain, called Gefion Fountain in English, is located in the northeast of Copenhagen city center. It consists of a group of bronze sculptures including the goddess Gefion, four oxen and a plow. According to records, Gefion Fountain was cast by Danish sculptor Anders Bungaard.
The original idea was to place the Gefion Fountain in the Copenhagen City Hall Square. Later, because there was already a bronze dragon sculpture in the square, the location was changed to the current Long Causeway Park. The entire bronze sculpture took about ten years to complete. It was completed and unveiled in 1908. Gefion is a goddess in Norse mythology. According to legend, there was a king named Gylfe in ancient Sweden.
The goddess Gefion promised to dig out a piece of land from the Swedish land, but the time limit was one day and one night, and she would get what she dug. So the goddess Gefion turned her four sons into four oxen, and used a plow to dig out a large piece of land from the Swedish land and moved it to the sea. From then on, Lake Vanern was left on the Swedish land.
The land dug out is now Zealand, where Copenhagen is located. From the map, the coastline of Zealand is very similar to the shape of Lake Vänern. This is the origin of Zealand in the legend. The goddess Gefion in the myth was unmarried all her life, but she gave birth to four sons with Hercules. People cast the Gefion Fountain based on this myth.
The goddess Gefion holds the plow with her left hand and the whip with her right hand. She drives four bronze bulls to plow the field with all her strength. The four bronze bulls bend their bodies and push their horns to pull the plow with all their strength. They are in different shapes and lifelike. The nostrils of the bronze bulls spray water, condensing into mist. The fountain behind the plow surges like a waterfall. The base is surrounded by a pool of water with granite extending along the slope of the road, and all the spring water gathers in the pool.
There is a bronze python coiled on each side of the pool, and two fountains on the left and right pour directly into the bronze bull. The whole structure is majestic and the scenery is spectacular, attracting thousands of tourists every year. In 1959, when Guo Moruo visited Denmark and wrote a poem praising Copenhagen, the two lines "Talking about oxen plowing on Silang Island (i.e. Zealand Island)" and "Springs spraying clouds and seas level" are mentioned.
The description is of the Gefion Fountain. Denengelskekirke St. Alban's Church is an Anglican church in Copenhagen, Denmark. The church was built between 1885 and 1887, when the number of British people in Copenhagen gradually increased. The exterior of the church is in the traditional English Gothic Revival style.
The church is part of the Anglican European Diocese and is dedicated to Saint Alban. I accidentally stumbled upon the beach, waiting for the professor and his wife to go to the toilet. I took a lot of photos and selfies on the beach. My family even sent me a WeChat message to tell me not to fall into the sea. Smoke is coming out of their chimneys. How come the sky is still blue? There are many windmills on the sea in the distance, generating electricity.
This restaurant is not open, but the design in front of the door is really nice. The Thinker made of all parts reminds Yunluo of the Terminator... Haibin's creative art. It's all gears, really creative. The chocolate looks delicious, I thought about buying some when I come back. But I forgot. Delicious potato chips, the packaging looks like melon seeds.
Entering through the small gate of Long Causeway Park facing the sea, you will finally reach the Little Mermaid statue, which is a world-famous bronze statue. From a distance, this mermaid with a body of a fish tail is sitting on a huge granite stone, quiet and elegant, leisurely and contented; approaching this statue, you will see a girl with a melancholy expression, deep in thought.
The bronze statue is about 1.5 meters high and the foundation stone is about 1.8 meters in diameter. It was cast by Danish sculptor Edvarderiksen based on Andersen's fairy tale "The Little Mermaid". The story of the Little Mermaid is well known, and the life story of this bronze statue also has a sad and beautiful love story legend.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The statue was built by Carl Jacobsen, the founder of New Carlsberg Brewery. One day, Carl Jacobsen was deeply moved after watching the premiere of the ballet "The Little Mermaid" at the Royal Theatre, and came up with the idea of making a bronze statue for the mermaid.
He felt that Andersen's fairy tales were already in the form of ballet, music and oil painting in art. The only thing missing was a statue. So Carl Jacobson discussed with the sculptor Erickson, hoping that Erickson would use sculpture art to represent the mermaid. Jacobson also invited Erickson to watch the ballet "The Little Mermaid".
Erickson got inspiration from the ballet and conceived the shape of the bronze statue. At first, the ballet's heroine Ellen Price was the model for Erickson's sculpture of the mermaid. But soon after, Erickson fell in love with Paris, and Paris also had Erickson's flesh and blood. Erickson's fiancée Eileen was very angry when she found out.
Paris had to marry someone else with her child, but Irene told Paris' husband about her relationship with Erickson, and Paris was abused by her husband and eventually died of schizophrenia. Later, Erickson used his wife as a model to cast this bronze mermaid statue.
However, although Erickson changed the model, he always had another model in his mind. Only the Paris family knew that the woman who always stayed by the sea was the incarnation of Paris from her expression to her temperament. After that, every evening, a white-haired old man would appear on the Baltic Sea. He and the beauty.
The Little Mermaid Statue was built in Langelinie Park in 1913 and has a history of nearly 100 years. It has attracted countless tourists. People say that if you don't see the Little Mermaid, you haven't been to Copenhagen. The Little Mermaid Statue has become a symbol of Copenhagen.
But the mermaid was beheaded and had her arms cut off three times in 1964, 1984 and 1998. Her head was found again soon after being cut off. The mermaid statue first crossed the ocean to Sihai City, China during the World Expo. It is said that every year on the mermaid's birthday, 100 girls jump into the sea in Copenhagen to swim in celebration.
On the way back to the hotel, we returned the car and had dinner at the Italian restaurant opposite. The fat guy in the restaurant was very helpful. Now I think back, I don’t know if he is Italian. Yunluo didn’t respond when he said ciao. 1morebeer4thenewyear But the food was still delicious and the price was not expensive. I ordered a glass of Danish Carlsberg for lunch, which was perfect.
A group photo of five people. Live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, it should be 22:00 Beijing time, and in a few hours it will be an unforgettable night. Should I use an iPad? I paid 50dkk to the waiter who was busy and helped take photos, and then went to the hotel opposite to pick up the luggage and head to the pier. The cruise ticket I booked in dfds has been booked, and the deck seats for 5 people.
The total price was 600 Euros including buffet dinner, which was a good deal considering the 900 km journey to Oslo. At 16:00 in the afternoon, I gave the host a 50DKK tip and started heading to the port at around 3:00. I entered the boarding hall of the cruise ship. I thought everything was self-check-in, but I still met a staff member who checked my passport and ticket.
But the boarding process was still very fast. It was a very large cruise ship. The draft in the sea submerged the word Seaways. The Pearl Cruise has a total of 11 floors, and the decks are probably 5-11. There is also a two-story large parking lot below. Standing on the top deck of the ship, looking back at Copenhagen. The Danish flag is at the stern and the Norwegian flag is at the bow.
The huge engine room. It was drizzling in Copenhagen. There was a tour group from China on the ship, and there were also many local patients with Down syndrome. I was amazed at the comprehensive care they gave to special people. The scenery was very beautiful. The building by the sea should be a hotel, otherwise this place would not be very convenient.
The huge ship is about to go out to sea. I don't know why the front of the deck is closed and the bow is inaccessible. Are they afraid that someone will try the classic action of Titanic? The Norwegian flag has not been raised yet. This is the sky bar on the 11th floor. You should be able to enter it freely if you have a luxury cabin ticket. Because it was raining, I didn't check it out. (To be continued...)
