About 40 kilometers north of Stockholm, Sweden, there is the oldest and most beautiful small town "Sigtuna", which was built in the 10 century. Here, the first Swedish king was sworn in and the first Swedish coin was engraved. As the first town and the first capital in history, kings, businessmen, politicians, tourists, people riding horses or taking boats have been coming in an endless stream for more than a thousand years. Sigtuna was built in the late Viking era and the early Middle Ages. At that time, the king wanted to be in M & amp； Build a city; Auml established a fortress in the Lalun Lake area, and Sigtuna was the chosen place. The town at that time was along the M & amp； Auml Laren Lake bank strip area was established, distributed on both sides of Storagan, the main street parallel to the lake bank.

Beautiful mergers and acquisitions; Auml Laren Lake is as flat as a mirror, with many yachts, mandarin ducks playing in the water and wild ducks foraging. The engraved rune stone records the information of the ancestors with a long history and has been passed down from generation to generation. The smallest city hall in northern Europe, built in16th century, has become a museum and the most popular wedding venue. The remains of various churches have increased people's enthusiasm for faith. On both sides of the intersecting paths, wooden houses and wonderful gardens in the18th century can be seen everywhere.

Children practice their first golf swing on the grass, old people fish or stroll on yachts, and young people ride bicycles energetically. In Sweden, people advocate loving nature and are proud of having hobbies close to nature, such as golf, water skiing and tennis. In the 20th century, Sigtuna was once again chosen as one of the best places to live.

The design of meilan lake Nordic New Town was inspired by Sweden, and SWECO Group, the largest international construction engineering group in Europe, was responsible for the overall planning and design. Sigtuna is actually very small, and the important scenic spots are on both sides of Storagan Street, which is also the soul of Sigtuna. Since its completion in 980, all the development has been carried out on Storagan Street, and it still retains the medieval style.

The easternmost part of Storagan Street is Market Square and City Hall, which is a building of16th century. This wooden town hall is the smallest in northern Europe and has now become a museum.

Houses on both sides of Storagan Street have become shops or restaurants. In the middle of the street is the location of the palace at the beginning of the city.

1050, Sigtuna became the patriarch parish, the king's manor was moved nearby, and the original place was converted into the patriarch church. 1080, the original wooden church was converted into a stone church, which is the first stone church in this area. Then in a short time, five or six stone churches were built in this town, all private churches built by the most powerful family at that time, all outside Storagan Street.

Meilan lake almost copied Sigtuna, a famous town in northern Europe, taking science and technology, music, painting and sculpture as city symbols, forming a building with outstanding ecological characteristics and unique charm; The water network is vertical and horizontal, and the urban and rural areas blend together, realizing the coordinated development of people, people and nature, and people and ecology.

The 6.8-square-kilometer "meilan lake Nordic New City" is therefore famous. Whenever winter is coming to an end, people here will celebrate the traditional festival "Fire Sacrifice" handed down from the pirate period. "At the Viking Fire Festival, thousands of people will dress up as Viking soldiers and stand on the float of Viking warships to receive people's blessings. Under the leadership of Captain Viking, the "warship" carrying "soldiers" marched to the seaside in a mighty way. As night fell, amid cheers, the Viking Warriors threw all their torches at warships. At this moment, the flames are soaring, and the warship burns into a huge fireball. Legend has it that the sacrificed Viking warrior and his warship will gain eternal life in the fire and drift to the Varhala Hall where Odin, the mythical Norse god, receives the gods.

The corresponding festival in meilan lake: Luodian Colorful Dragon Boat Festival (held in meilan lake and coastal areas every May).

There are more than 200 music festivals in Norway, with different styles, different scales and wide choices, including indoor music festivals, pop rock music festivals and large-scale ethnic music festivals. Some festivals are held in charming exotic backgrounds, such as the midnight sun, the long polar nights or spectacular natural scenery. The two most popular rock music festivals are Quart Music Festival held in kristiansand in early July and Eya Music Festival held near Oslo in early August.

Meilan lake's corresponding festival activities: meilan lake Music Festival (held in meilan lake International Convention Center around September every year).

For Scandinavians, Christmas is the most important festival of the year. Near the end of June 1 1, people began to decorate Christmas trees and bake gingerbread to prepare for Christmas. Four weeks before Christmas, Advent began. In the meantime, every household should insert four candles. A candle is lit every week, and people begin to count how many days before Christmas. On the huge Christmas tree in the town, colored lights began to flash, and the Christmas market began to sell all kinds of Christmas food and supplies. The warmth of Christmas can be seen everywhere in this country. On Christmas Day, relatives who are far away from home will rush home and the family will enjoy the Christmas dinner quietly.

Meilan lake's corresponding holiday activities: meilan lake Christmas Fashion Show (held in various squares in meilan lake around 65438+February every year). meilan lake has become the largest and most beautiful wedding location shooting base in Shanghai. From the moment you enter the town, you will be involuntarily attracted by the beautiful and dreamy exotic customs. In meilan lake, people can fully experience the most wonderful Nordic scenery. If we compare her to a picture scroll, the picture scroll will stretch out, just like a western painting "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival": the courtyard full of flowers sets off the exotic bell tower spire; The castle in the twilight is the most beautiful, like a lady on the outskirts of Gothenburg, elegant and elegant; Meilan lake is like a diamond necklace that a lady takes out of a treasure chest and wears on her chest, surrounded by charming green and blue; This intoxicating scenery seems to be prepared for the most famous love story in the world. It is not difficult to imagine that the most classic romance in the future will be staged here, and it is bound to be interpreted as a series of unforgettable cultural legends, such as the West Lake in Xu Xian and the White Maiden, or the Madison Bridge that witnessed the love between Robert and Francesca in the Hollywood movie The Bridges of Madison.

In the year of 10, it is not difficult to imagine how touching the cultural gap between the charm of Jiangnan water town accumulated by water lanes, river ports, arch bridges, arcades, Langfang and markets for more than a thousand years and the Nordic customs composed of castles, bell towers, churches, foreign brands, outlets, "Gothenburg" and "pirate ships" will be.

Now meilan lake is forming a one-stop wedding service industry integrating wedding photography, weddings, wedding banquets and wedding rooms. I believe that happy couples can experience more sweetness and affection here. The shape of meilan lake is beautiful in the lake, with unique architecture and strong artistic atmosphere. Nordic style, yellow walls and red tiles, spire hut, quiet path, street sculpture. Every sculpture sketch embodies a strong artistic style. Body art works organically combine western culture and oriental legends, creating a deeper cultural connotation, symbolizing the harmony between man and nature in meilan lake, and the theme of love can be seen everywhere.

In retrospect, this is not a distant Nordic street scene. Andersen should have written fairy tales in this environment.
