Bergen is the second largest city in Norway and the most beautiful city in Norway. It is located on a peninsula close to mountains and rivers. It is the end of Oslo Bergen railway line, a beautiful and famous "epitome of Norway". It is also the main starting point for a trip to fjords. It seems that Bergen's glory has never been lost to Oslo, the capital. In many people's eyes, it faces the blue sea and nestles comfortably among the seven peaks. Compared with Oslo, Bergen is more beautiful and delicious. However, due to the climate, almost three-quarters of the year it is rainy or shower weather, is a veritable "Rain City".

Bergen was the capital of Norway in the 12th and 13th centuries, and it was an important port and maritime trade center in the 14th and 15th centuries. Nowadays, Bergen, as the entrance of the pure fjord world, attracts people from all over the world, and the famous salmon in Bergen is fresh and unforgettable.

Bergen has a unique charm, is an old city with a young face. The oldest block in the city is the old port of Bruggen, which is the most amorous and charming place in Bergen. Bruggen's wooden houses have gone through rain, snow, wind and frost, and suffered many fires, but they are finally preserved under the careful protection of Bergen. It is one of the largest and most concentrated wooden houses in Europe and the pride of Bergen people. It was listed on the United Nations World Heritage list in 1979, making Bergen one of the world heritage cities.

Walking down the street, we can see that Bruggen's houses are all wooden structures, generally two to three storey buildings. The roof is tiled and the slope is large, and the walls are long wooden boards. Most of the houses have been reinforced and are being used. Bruggen area is an old wharf in Bergen, and it was an important town of the Hanseatic trade empire from the 14th century to the middle of the 16th century. Today, Bruggen still retains its Medieval port features. Most of the remaining 62 buildings are used as artists' studios.

Only when you go deep into the interior of Bruggen, you will find that the scenery here is unique, the wood structure is mottled, and the ground is stone roads. The dim lights on the street seem to tell the glorious history. The dribbling rain dribbles along the stone road and shuttles through the alleys of wooden houses with umbrellas. It seems that it has gone through history and inadvertently restored the most appropriate history of Bruggen's vicissitudes of hundreds of years.

The row of houses facing the street has now become shops.

The mountain demon doll is a special product of Norway. It's a classic image in Norwegian legends. It's ugly and funny. Although it's "rude" in appearance, combined with various shapes such as boating and fishing, the "mountain demon" doll also looks very chic. In the eyes of Norwegians, although this kind of mountain elf is not beautiful, it's a disgusting little guy, There are many myths and legends about him.

In late autumn, the Nordic people seem to have a leisurely life.

The wooden houses have gone through rain, snow, wind and frost, and suffered many fires, but they are finally preserved under the careful protection of Bergen. Bruggen is one of the largest and most concentrated wooden houses in Europe, which is the pride of Bergen people.

Looking across the bank, the colorful houses on the hillside are dotted in the mountains, just like a paradise without eating people's fireworks.

Wigan wharf is the busiest place in Bergen. From early morning to evening, tourists come in an endless stream, because it not only has Bergen's history and culture, but also has a lively fish market. Bergen's fish market is set up beside the wharf. There is a sign at the entrance of the fish market, on which English, Japanese, Chinese and other languages of more than 20 countries are written in various languages.

It is said that Bergen's fish market began in the 1970s, where traders sell the freshest seafood daily, such as salmon, king crab and Arctic shrimp.

The fish market starts to set up stalls at 5 am. If you come early enough, you can even buy the freshest seafood directly from the fishing boats that come back from fishing in the morning.

Norway deep sea king crab must taste, this is the best delicacy in the world.

Norway's salmon is very famous, but don't think that Norway's salmon is very cheap because of this. In Norway, salmon is also a relatively expensive delicacy, because salmon has its unique growth cycle, so it is impossible for them to catch a large number of salmon. Norway's salmon is very fresh, and the quality of salmon in northern Europe is trustworthy. Norway's salmon, which has the reputation of "king of ice ocean", is favored by chefs and gourmets all over the world.

Bergen's fish market has long been a social occasion for Bergen people. People like to go to the fish market to talk and meet friends. The government also stipulates that vendors must have more than 280 business hours a year.

According to the local people, hiking, first to the fish market, where to buy fresh sweet shrimp and salmon sandwiches, and then go, but also bring some wine, that is the real Bergen way of life.

It is said that all European diners will come here to buy seafood. There is a passenger terminal not far from the fishing market, which sends seafood "fans" from all over the world here every day and returns all day long.

In Bergen's high-end restaurants, it's expensive to taste seafood. People prefer to eat fried and roasted fish and shrimp at the roadside stall beside the fish market, and chat with tourists from all over the world to see the scenery.

On one side of the wall are pictures of scenes from the fish market.

Near Wigan wharf, Fleur, who is in the center of the city, is the most attractive person to overlook the city from the top of the mountain. You can take a small cable car with rails to climb the mountain, and you can reach the top of the mountain in eight minutes. Of course, it's best to walk when the weather is good, so you can slowly enjoy the beautiful scenery of Bergen.

Standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the city, you have to admire its beauty: the fjords, peaks and the city form a colorful landscape painting. The colorful wooden houses embedded in the green forest, like colored paintbrushes, connect the landscape and the city. The buildings extend from the Bank of the fjords to the hillside. The colorful old buildings are hidden in the green plants, The colorful Bruggen is particularly enchanting relying on this 300 meter high hill.

Looking far away, you can see the pale green outline of the mountains in the sky. Only when you climb up can you have such a perspective. Your heart gallops on the boundless hills and gullies, and your sight is close and far away.

Bruggen's night, sky high, cloud light, colorful.
