Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, is actually a little crude.

There are no high-rise buildings here. Most of them are wooden houses painted with various colors. If Greenland's per capita GDP is not low, it is more than 40000 US dollars, but why is the capital like this?

Greg asked the question and Jack soon gave the answer. "First of all, the character of the people here is like this. We don't like the tension of the metropolis, and the construction of some high-rise buildings will cause that tension in the city." Jack's explanation is a little unacceptable, but from his expression, it seems to be so.

"People here fight with the sea every year, especially when we go out to catch crabs in winter. Every year, many people are disabled or even lose their lives forever because of carelessness. Therefore, people here are full of awe of the sea. Every time we come back from the sea, we need a warm and comfortable place without any trouble The stressful environment can relieve our tension. If we go home and there are high-rise buildings everywhere, it will make us collapse, "jack further explained.

It's just that neither Yang Jing nor Ge Ge can understand. What's the ghost reason? Is there any direct relationship between comfortable mood and high-rise buildings?

But Chris and lindane can show an understanding expression.

Obviously, perhaps this is the difference in culture and consciousness.

Jack obviously saw their confusion, smiled, showed his big white teeth, and then gave a reason that everyone could accept - in fact, we don't build high-rise buildings here, which also has a lot to do with the geological environment here. Most of us here are slate and shale. It is very difficult and dangerous to build high-rise buildings.

Well, this Inuit really has a good eloquence. Why doesn't this guy go to MLM?

However, Jack's eloquence also makes the atmosphere better. This guy will make a little joke from time to time, and he has handy legends about some scenic spots in nuke city.

"This is the most important cultural place from gotkhobne to Greenland - katuyak cultural center. Since it was opened on February 15, 1997, it has gradually become a symbol of our new Greenland nationalism, imagination and potential. Our goal is to build this place into a window connecting our own culture and the external world." Jack said proudly, pointing to a building with brownish yellow outer walls and wavy shapes.

The building is not small. It is a big building for the whole Nuuk.

Yang Jing asked curiously, "why is it called katuyak here? Does this name have any special meaning here?"

"Yes, the name in our Greenland language means' drumstick ', the drumstick used to sound the war drum." Jack smiled and made a drum beat, "Since the completion of this cultural center, theatrical performances, performances and exhibitions will be held here every year. Movies and Hollywood movies will be shown every day. You know, at the same time, it will attract more than 100000 tourists every year. Would you like to go in and have a look? It's very good."

Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge looked at each other. Ge Ge Ge shook his head and said, "forget it today. We won't go tomorrow. If we have time, we may take time to visit this great building tomorrow."

Greg's words made Jack very satisfied, as if praising him here was praising him.

Along the not very wide road, Yang Jing and Ge Ge saw many colorful houses along the way. Some houses were simply painted with a lot of strange but attractive oil paintings on the walls.

Just like the oil painting on the wall of a house in front of us, it shows an Inuit with firm eyes staring into the distance. If it is only a figure, this painting can only be said to be very general, but what if a creeping polar bear with staring eyes is added under the Inuit's left hand?

This painting will immediately become extremely shocking!

If it's a house or two, people may think it's the graffiti of some art lovers, but it's really amazing that you can see such oil paintings almost not far away along the way.

These oil paintings in different forms, coupled with the colorful house colors here, really make the whole Nuuk look more like a huge oil painting.

It seemed that he saw gege's shock at the painting. Jack asked, "I've seen many such paintings all the way. What's your feeling?"

Greg nodded and said, "it's beautiful and shocking. Just like this painting, it's real and shocking. Jack, is this painting real? Or did those artists imagine it out of thin air?"

Jack shook his head and said, "no, this painting is a real thing. This is a painting created by an artist named van helten a few years ago. It is said that this painting is based on an old photo taken in 1906. This painting tells about a local hunter who settled in gothob under the arrangement of the government."

After a pause, Jack continued: "In fact, along the way, you can see that there are many such murals here, and the colors of our houses are also colorful. In fact, this is a project about promoting the image of the city, called 'colorful NUK', which is very popular among our residents. If you have the opportunity to visit my home, Then you will see the mural completed by my little daughter and my son... "

Do not see do not know, this real tour, Yang Jing they really realized that this can be said to be the world's smallest capital city, which contains the kind of charming charm.

"Have you seen? This building with red walls, white doors and grey spires is the most famous building in gothob. Outsiders call this cathedral Nuuk Cathedral, but our locals call it 'our Savior Church'."

The cathedral in front of us is a wooden building, which is far from comparable to those in Europe in terms of height and majesty. In European and American developed countries, such a church is at most the level of a township or community church.

The church has an obvious Luddite style. The walls are painted with bright red paint. The doors and steps are white. There is a bell tower above and a gray spire above the bell tower.

"Is this church very new? In fact, we renovate it almost every year. This is a real old guy. It was built in 1849 and is the oldest building in gothob. There will be large-scale gatherings on April 16 every year, which is very lively. Oh, it's like the Forbidden City Square in your Chinese capital."

The exterior walls of this ancient church are intertwined with red, white and gray. The contrast is particularly strong, but it is full of a feeling that people will feel very comfortable at first sight. It seems that this ancient building with a history of 169 years is like this.

Of course, this distinctive color style just confirms the "colorful nuke" that Jack just said. Even this ancient church has regained its new vitality under such color decoration. What about the whole city?

Very energetic!

"Great color, great church! And it's very dynamic!" at this time, Yang Jing naturally won't spare her praise.

Gege pointed to the statue standing at the top of a small hill not far away and asked, "Jack, whose statue is that?"

Jack looked up and said, "this is the famous statue of Hans eggard. This statue was built in memory of Hans eggard, an important missionary in Greenland history. It is the most prominent public sculpture of gothob."

"Hans eggard? The Danish missionary who established the whole Greenland colony?" Yang Jing asked.

Jack nodded first, then shook his head, "Sir, you are not right to say that. In fact, Greenland was controlled by the Norwegians as early as 986 A.D. and became a Norwegian colony. Even the name Greenland was given by the Norwegians. The Danes divided Greenland with the Norwegians later. Hans egde was only the first Danish missionary to establish a missionary site in gothob. When However, in 1721, Hans eggard established the first Lutheran Missionary Society in gothob. At the same time, he also established a trading company, which is regarded by later generations as the starting point for Denmark to officially colonize Greenland. Therefore, Hans eggard was publicized by the Danes as the first person to colonize Greenland. In fact, the original owners of the whole Greenland are our Inuit. "

Hearing this explanation, Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge only smiled bitterly. This problem involving colonization and aborigines has always been a big problem that can never be solved. Yang Jing and Ge Ge don't want to worry about this kind of thing. They are here to travel, not to explore the history of Greenland and nuke.

Seeing that Yang Jing and Ge Ge are unwilling to care more about this matter, Jack is very knowledgeable, so he doesn't go on, but leads the people to move forward.

The residential houses in front have begun to sparse, which means that the edge of the city has arrived. However, there are buses here. After consulting Yang Jing and Ge Ge, Jack took the people on a bus that waved and stopped.

After wandering on the bus for four or five minutes, Jack got off the bus with the people.

There are several rare six or seven story buildings across the road.

However, when Jack saw these buildings, his face showed a proud expression. "This is the highest University in Greenland, the University of Greenland! I graduated here."

If Jack didn't say it himself, it's really hard for Yang Jing and Ge Ge to believe that this is a university and the highest University in Greenland.

It's too small and shabby here. I'm afraid any middle school in China's domestic cities is larger than this university

However, Jack didn't seem embarrassed by the poverty of the University. "Yes, although the university is a little small, and there are only more than 800 students at present, this is the most desirable school for young people in Greenland. It carries the hope of Greenland's future, and we all like it!"
