romance
Akureyri is the largest city in northern Iceland. Although the area is not large, the scenery is not very beautiful, but it is a place of super love. The red light here is the look of love, so love design, people feel that crossing the road and other red lights is a super romantic thing! When the sky slowly darkens, love becomes more and more obvious. I stand quietly at one end of the zebra crossing and wait for one red light after another. Sometimes there will be some cars watching me wait for so long, kindly let me go first, misunderstanding is not, I am just waiting to see the red light. Come to Akureyri, in addition to watching the red light of love, another thing you can't miss is eating ice cream! I have already recited the ice cream shop called Brynja. Unlike the traditional creamy ice cream, this restaurant has a refreshing taste and is not greasy. An ice cream makes people feel that the whole world is getting better. There is also a creative PS on the wall, the boss directly squeezed the ice cream from the cow, the imagination is super rich.

Akureyri is backed by snow-capped mountains and faces Bihu with beautiful scenery. It is called "Athens" in northern Iceland. The night sun in Akureyri is a big wonder in the local area. Every year in June and July, the sun is almost everywhere. But it is not so much a city, it is more like a small town, and there are only about 20,000 residents. Akureyri is surrounded by mountains and seas. It is always accompanied by beautiful scenery all year round. It is small and lovely, and there are many cultural activities. Akureyri is an important trading center in northern Iceland. The nearby sea is rich in sardines and other fish. The city has the largest fish processing plant in the country. It is also an important distribution center for Icelandic agricultural products and livestock products. The Akureyri Museum of Natural History exhibits specimens of various birds, sea animals, seaweeds and terrestrial plants in Iceland. It is also a research center for Icelandic fungi and other lower organisms.

Akureyri is the most famous city in Iceland except Reykjavik and is known as the capital of the north. Since leaving Reykjavik, all the sights are endless mountains and wilderness, and the wind and the grass of the cattle and sheep, even people can not see a few. In Akureyi, I saw a long-lost high-rise and crowd, and there was a sense of intimacy. Akureyri is also a famous city of love. Watching the traffic lights here will reveal a lovely love. This stems from the 2008 financial crisis in Iceland. Akureyri hopes that the city people will not lose their hope for life because of the financial crisis, and launched a "smile with heart" activity, leaving love in shops, traffic lights, doors and windows. Now that the financial crisis has passed, Icelands economy has gradually recovered, but this lovely tradition has indeed been passed down.

Akureyri is also known as the "City of Love" because the red lights in the whole city are beautiful love. The origin of the love traffic lights was due to the economic crisis of 2008, when Icelands bankruptcy fell into the most difficult period, and people all over the country were trying to climb out of the trough, so the government replaced the traffic lights with love, expressing: hard work, hard work Can spend. The government is too warm.
