On the way back to Reykjavik, Chen Xing also visited Skógafoss. This waterfall is the largest in Iceland. It is about 25 meters wide and 60 meters high. This scale is not suitable for Chen Xing.
For someone who has never seen any large waterfalls, this is enough to shock him.
The main thing below this waterfall is a relatively flat gravel beach. Visitors can go directly to the bottom of the waterfall and listen to the rumbling sound of the waterfall at close range. Even though there is not much water under your feet, you are still on the shore, but when you finish taking the photo
If you walk back, you will find that your body is already soaked.
Because there is too much water vapor, it feels like a fairy when you look at it, but if you are in such an environment for about a minute, your body will be covered with water droplets. It will be uncomfortable to wet your clothes in such a winter...
…But that didn’t stop some tourists from standing underneath and taking pictures.
Because the pictures taken this way are so beautiful.
The background is a waterfall that is so wide that you can’t see how big it is. Countless water splashes rise when it falls. The land in the lower right corner is a gravel beach. But if it is taken just like this, it is actually relatively ordinary. The picture is monotonous and seems to be missing something.
.
However, as long as there is a person standing on the gravel beach in the lower right corner, or a dog, cat, or any other creature, there will be a sense of vast nature and the insignificance of the person. This feeling will make the photo complete in one go.
.
Therefore, there are many people taking pictures like this. If you come to Skogafoss during the peak tourist season, you will probably have to queue up like at domestic attractions.
A successful and meaningful internet celebrity check-in point.
There were few people in this place today and the venue was empty. Chen Xing hurried over and took a few photos.
There is a very steep ladder next to the waterfall that can go up, but the temperature is too low and the ladder up is frozen and dangerous, so even if you can see a better view when you get to the top, no one is willing to go up. If you really fall,
Falling is no joke.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to Reykjavik after visiting this route, which was about the same time as Chen Xing expected.
Deng Jun first drove the car to the car rental shop to return it. Worried that Chen Xing didn't know the way, he sent Chen Xing back to the hotel first.
In fact, Chen Xing kind of wants to be with a girl, even Sister Jiaqian.
Even though Sister Jiaqian is married now and is much older than Chen Xing, she is very interesting to chat with. She has the feeling of being the heroine of an idol drama in the early years. No matter what, she is better than a man.
Chen Xing sighed.
The sky is a little bright now, and the street lamp shines on the snow on the ground, making the white snow turn as pale yellow as the color of the lamp, like a thick carpet spread on the ground.
If you walk fast, it will make a rustling sound, like a rhythmic shaking of a maracas. If you walk slower, it will make a squeaking sound like two pieces of inferior new leather shoes rubbing together.
Interesting.
But if you want to find this kind of fun, you have to find places where few people walk. The snow in the most popular places on the street has been trampled down and turned into old snow, mixed with dust, dark and slippery. This kind of ground makes you want to walk on it.
No distractions are allowed, and you never know when you will fall.
Now that he could see the hotel, Chen Xing said to Deng Jun: "Thank you for sending me back."
"Hey, it's okay. We are all Chinese, so that's what we should do, so I'll go back first. By the way, there's one more thing. We have a party in the school tonight, and the people here are all international students. Among the Chinese
Can you come?"
"No, I want to walk around by myself."
If it was an event that the whole school did together, Chen Xing would still go and see it, but today is Halloween, who would want to go to an indoor party?
"Okay then, goodbye."
Chen Xing watched Deng Jun leave before continuing to walk towards the hotel. When passing by a square, there were more hot food sellers here. The whole square was filled with a layer of white mist. At this time, Chen Xing also felt a little hungry.
, went in and had something to eat.
The serious food in Iceland is the same as that in Norway. The taste is average. The key is that the presentation here is not as good as in Norway.
But there are more varieties of snacks than in Norway. At least in this square, Chen Xing saw snacks from many countries, and even Chinese steamed buns. The steamer was made of bamboo and looked very authentic, but the boss was Icelandic. When leaving the square, Chen Xing was holding a piece of hot dog.
Hot dogs are also something Chen Xing likes to eat in Europe. You can add any food to the bread. In Iceland, they even put a piece of pickled fish directly into it. The one Chen Xing ate was more ordinary, with ham wrapped in it.
ham sausage.
Ham and ham sausage are not the same thing. Wrapped together with lettuce and meat sauce, the taste is no worse than a steak worth tens of euros a piece.
After leaving this steaming food court, there was a gym across the street. At this time, a young girl who had just worked out also walked out. She was wearing a yoga suit and a long down jacket. She looked like she had been out of body.
, the white gas comes out of the body in waves, which is very interesting to watch.
Chen Xing hurriedly took out his camera and prepared to take a picture, and finally captured her in front of a colorful spire house.
Not bad, a pretty good-looking sports photo.
Photos of sports-style works are not just those of people in motion, such as those preparing before exercise, those walking and resting after exercise, and those sitting on chairs drinking water after playing basketball. All these can be classified as sports-style works. The photo taken by Chen Xing is particularly interesting. The white air on his body can only be seen in this cold winter.
Keep moving forward.
Parked on the side of the road was a car covered in snow. It was hard to tell what color it was. Looking at it covered in snow, it had not moved for at least three or four days. There was someone in the rearview mirror of the car.
There is a very small snowman piled on it, which is lifelike and it can be seen that the workmanship is good.
There were unpacked seats outside the coffee shop, and there was also a layer of snow, which was covered in white. At the entrance of an unknown store, a Christmas tree prepared in advance fell down, and the position where it was pressed triggered a pumpkin-headed tree.
As a result, the hollow eyes of this pumpkin head glowed brightly, and he kept smiling arrogantly.
It was this thing that kept Chen Xing awake all night.
The two people were working hard to straighten the Christmas tree that had fallen down for some reason. They worked very hard, and passers-by took one look at it and left.
Instead, Chen Xing put down the camera and went over to lend a hand.
One of the people said thank you, and Chen Xing nodded without replying. He cooperated with the two people to help the Christmas tree stand up, and then checked the large flower pot in which the tree was placed. It seemed that there was no damage, except for a slight scratch.
It should have no impact.
"Thank you, friend, you must be a guest staying in this hotel, right?" the shopkeeper asked Chen Xing with a smile.
He had seen Chen Xing coming in and out of the hotel next door several times in the past two days, so he recognized him immediately.
"Sorry, my Icelandic is a bit poor. What did you say?"
The boss just repeated it once.
People who live in the Nordic capital countries have very good quality education. Local people have to learn bilingual and even multilingual studies from an early age. People from other places will not be allowed to live in the capital if they do not have great abilities.<
/p>
Therefore, even if a person does not know Icelandic or Swedish, as long as he does not wander around when he arrives in the capital of this country, there is no problem in communicating with them in English.
After a casual chat, Chen Xing returned to the hotel.
It’s been a long time since I wrote a travel note on Honeycomb. The scenery I saw today was very nice, and some of the things I encountered were also suitable for writing, so I posted a travel note with rare code words.
His cooperation with Honeycomb mainly focuses on columns. There are no rigid requirements for travel notes, as long as they are not published on other Internet cultural and tourism websites, so Chen Xing has always been very Buddhist when it comes to updating travel notes.
However, as a master of both writing and photography, Chen Xing also has many loyal fans in the honeycomb, with hundreds of viewers arriving in a short period of time.
There is no way, the flow rate of the honeycomb is so low.
None of the websites Chen Xing currently uses has high traffic, and even Bizhan is not considered a mainstream video website.
If his videos are more streamlined, or divided into videos of about one minute, and posted in many segments on Douyin, then Chen Xing’s Douyin followers must now exceed 10 to 20 million. And his following on Bizhan is now
Just over two million.
Compared with Bizhan’s traffic, Honeybee’s traffic is even lower, and his fans only have tens of thousands so far.
This phenomenon is actually related to the planning of this website.
Anyone who often reads columns on this app should know that the columns and travel notes on this website are not the product of a single system.
The travelers in the column are all invited one by one by the honeycomb. They may only publish columns and never write travel notes, so you can often see familiar column bosses who may only have a few dozen followers or go online.
Hundreds.
Even these column bosses don’t even have a honeycomb account, so they can’t find their home if they want to follow them.
As soon as the travel notes were published, people immediately read them. In one day, there would be more than 10,000 or even 20,000 views. This is already considered a top traveler in Honeycomb, and this is because Chen Xing's updates are relatively random.
.
While Chen Xing was writing the travelogue, there were sounds coming from downstairs, but he still insisted on finishing it and publishing it before looking over to read it.
The downstairs was originally a bar street. Every night at night, Icelanders hang out in one bar after another, which is very lively. But today is even more lively. Today is Friday. Those who go to work have the day off tomorrow, and even some companies that are not so tiring at work have three days of work.
Rest every day.
So today’s Icelanders are really free.
The bar opened very early today, and some of the early guests had already gone in for a round of drinks. Now they heard the bustle on the street outside and rushed out with wine glasses to watch the fun.
The streets are a procession.
Foreigners really like to parade. They parade when they encounter good things, and they also parade when they encounter bad things. Nowadays, most of the parades on the streets are cosplay monster characters. When Chen Xing opened the window to watch the excitement, he saw a
Spiders two or three stories high are walking slowly.
Chen Xing lived on the third floor, and he could just see one of the spider's feet crossing the window, which startled him.
Looking from below, you can see that this spider is being carried by a car. The legs are just pretending, but from Chen Xing's position, you can't see the car below, so it looks a bit scary... He hates this.
kind of creature.
There is also the sound of the band.
The music got louder and louder, and finally I saw a band wearing traditional Icelandic clothes playing in a pickup truck that was driving very slowly.
Looking into the distance, the queue is still very long, and you can’t even see the end of it upstairs.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xing hurriedly got dressed and prepared to go downstairs to take a look. The camera was hung around his neck. However, the main focus of shooting today may not be Chen Xing's precious camera, but his mobile phone, because his camera cannot record video normally. p>
After going downstairs, the noise on the street was even noisier than upstairs. When he just picked up his phone and wanted to start recording, Chen Xing saw Chen Jiaqian calling him.
As soon as I picked it up, I heard someone shouting: "Chen Xing! You are so popular!"
"Ah?"
He thought that he had done nothing, he had not participated in any awards recently, and the book had not been published yet, so why did it become so popular? Is it the travelogue that was just sent out?
That's impossible. How can a honeycomb have the ability to hold a person on fire?
"Ah, what, did you set off the Kongming lanterns on the black beach this afternoon? You were the first trending topic in Iceland, and now the whole country is talking about you! You are really popular, at least in Iceland!" p>
"Hot search?" Chen Xing asked in surprise.
Is this hot search the same hot search he knows?
Still first?
"Yes, Iceland's hot search today should have been a hot search for the parade and the surprises prepared by various places for this Halloween, but usually such hot searches can only tell who will win at night. You are taking advantage of it by putting up the Kongming Lantern.
Put it aside, you are number one now anyway! You are popular in Iceland!"
Chen Xing answered the phone and looked around.
Am I on fire?
Why don't you feel anything?
In the first half of the year, Chen Xing also became popular in China, which even triggered the tourism craze that still exists today. He was even involved in a special forces tour, which made Chen Xing unable to go to those well-known scenic spots even if he wanted to travel in Danji.
.
But this is the number one hot search topic in Iceland, wow, I really don’t feel it.
Chen Jiaqian should also be watching the excitement outdoors. There was a lot of noise in the earphones. The two quickly hung up the phone, and Chen Jiaqian sent a link to his WeChat account.
After clicking in, you will see the Google interface.
But the hot searches on the right are all about things that happened in Iceland. Except for Chen Xing, who placed a Kongming Lantern on the hot search, the second place is a vendor selling snacks on the roadside because he keeps singing while selling things.
On the hot search list.
The third place is not in Reykjavik, but in the north of Iceland. This person painted a white ghost face and went out to scare people. In fact, the material used was his father's ashes.
The fourth one is equally weird. After the dog was neutered, he ran to the door of the hospital and barked every day. The doctor shouted that he was wronged and was willing to refund the surgery fee...
