Salmon, trout, and silverfish can be caught and eaten immediately, sashimied, smoked, and all are delicious. There is also a fish similar to small mackerel, which also tastes great. If you don't want to fish, you can also choose to do outdoor activities in the quiet forest, or read a book quietly by the lake, waiting for the "canoe sailor" to hook the delicious fish.
And if you arrive in Finland after July 21, you can also taste Finns’ “favorite” – crayfish. The short period from the end of July to the beginning of August is the season for enjoying crayfish.
Swinging golf under the midnight sun is also a very unique experience. Moreover, there is a golf course in Finland that can reach Sweden in one stroke. Because it spans two time zones, swinging at 7 o'clock and landing at 8 o'clock, the design of the golf course is amazing. This golf course is located in the green areas of Tornio, Finland and Haparanda, Sweden. Eleven holes of the course are in Sweden, while the remaining seven are in Finland.
Finland is not far from Estonia. You can take a 3-hour speedboat ride to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, and visit the castle built by the Danish king in the 13th century, as well as the beautiful Gewilster Church. etc.

Go to Tianheng Island for fun in the new island offshore
Cool Tags
In the summer of Tianheng Island, there are summer rains, no intense heat, and the humid sea breeze will The whole island became extremely cool. Therefore, residents here, even in the hottest summer, will put on a thin quilt at night. Although Tian Heng Island was the island where King Tian Heng of Qi fought against Liu Bang in the late Qin and early Han dynasties and hid after his defeat, the smoke of ancient times has long since dissipated, and the island now has only peace and tranquility.
Refreshing experience
The biggest feeling when setting foot on Tianheng Island is refreshing. A few seagulls circled back and forth above our heads, and the whistles of returning fishing boats in the distance also told us that Tianheng Island had arrived. Except for the sound of seabirds and fishing boat whistles, it is difficult to hear other sounds here, and the entire island seems particularly peaceful.
When I came to the island, I was suddenly not used to the greenery. The unhurried black pine trees on the island were like persistent soldiers, silently guarding the territory of nature. Standing on the seabed rocks, the waves from far to near are splashing and dancing under your feet, and the wet trousers are the mark of her kissing you.
Although the beach is inconvenient for swimming due to the many rocks, it is also fun to count the small crabs crawling all over the beach. You can often see colorful starfish on the beach, which is very beautiful.
Life on the summer island is extremely pleasant, quiet and restful. You and your companions can ride a tandem bicycle and enjoy the cool summer breeze leisurely. It was getting late, and the island was very dark at night, with almost no street lights. I picked up the fireworks that had been prepared, lined them up, lit them, and felt the splendor of the sky.
New residence: Jigong Mountain with frosty weather in June
Cool label
In Jigong Mountain, there is a saying that it is frosty in June, which shows how cool it is in summer. . At the beginning of the last century, a foreign missionary was impressed by the beauty of Jigong Mountain and built the first villa. Subsequently, wealthy foreign businessmen came to Wuhan in droves, and warlords and politicians, not to be outdone, built a large-scale construction project here and built more than 200 villas of different styles, earning Jigong Mountain the name of "Architecture Expo of All Nations". The most famous one is Yi House, American Building, Swedish Building, Marshall Building, Sister Building, etc.
Cool experience
Jigong Mountain is very considerate, and the greenery is still lush under the scorching sun. You can live in a mountain residence for a while, with warm days and cool winds, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and willingly enjoy the lightness of forgetfulness. .
In the mountains, everything is so touching. There is no obvious man-made damage, no unnecessary packaging and repairs, and every stone and tree maintains its original appearance. It was quiet and no one was around. I reached out and touched the mottled stone pillars, and the old and broken shadows seemed to come back again.
The largest and most beautiful summer resort on the mountain is Yilu, because when walking around the mountain, you can always see the yellow pavilion roof sign of this building when you look up. Today the building is open to the public for food and lodging.
The most vicissitudes of life seem to be the Marshall Building. Going up the long stone steps covered with locust flowers, a corner of the villa is exposed in the thick shade of the trees. The lock on the door was rusty, and through the blurry window glass, the room was empty. Outside the fan-shaped corridor, the trees look even greener after the rain. There is a small garden behind the villa. Through the white fence, a large area of white flowers blooms by itself, as if it has the loneliness after many people have left the building.
Jigong Mountain is one of the four major summer resorts in the country. It is known as "Green Separates Chu and Yu" and is the natural dividing line between the north and the south of my country. As early as the beginning of this century, Jigong Mountain was as famous as Beidaihe, Lushan and Mogan Mountain. The ancient poem "The scorching heat of the three days makes people want to die, and the coolness here makes them suspicious of immortality" is a vivid description of the coolness and pleasantness of Jigong Mountain.

But what really wants to be cool and refreshing is to plunge into the blue sea.
Cool experience
Before arriving at the base, I saw dozens of windsurfing boards on the sea from a distance, as light as gulls, flying freely. Riding the wind is so real. The freedom is completely different from standing on the ground. The whole body and mind are flying. This time, I can experience the beauty of windsurfing.
