It’s Christmas, so let’s write about Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi.
Rovaniemi is the officially recognized hometown of Santa Claus , who is of course the city's most famous resident. Santa Claus Village, located on the Arctic Circle, is open year-round and attracts more than 500,000 tourists from all over the world every year.

This is the officially certified Santa Claus Village, located right on the Arctic Circle line.
The Arctic Circle line outside is covered with snow, and there is also a line drawn indoors, standing on the Arctic Circle line.
You can also buy an Arctic Circle certificate here for 4.5 euros each.
It is 6680KM away from Beijing.
Real giant snow-covered Christmas tree, so beautiful!
Santa Claus Office, where you can take photos and purchase photos or videos with the real "certified" Santa Claus. Because I don’t like taking pictures, I didn’t go in.
Santa is here!
This row of lights is the Arctic Circle line.
Come take a ride on Santa's flying army - the reindeer sleigh. 400 meters 18 euros per person.
It was my first time to see a real reindeer!
Looks good!
The reindeer walked slowly and steadily, and the feeling of lying in the sleigh through the snow-covered primeval forest really felt like walking into a fairy tale.
I just turned around and saw one.
I was just about to say that its tail was twirling so cutely, but suddenly I realized that it was actually pooping while walking, hahahahahaha, and I was instantly brought back to reality.
I walked slowly for about 10 minutes for 400 meters. It was hard work.
Then come to Santa Claus’ official post office to send a postcard with an Arctic Circle postmark! You can choose to receive it at Christmas time.
After I finished posting, I found that it was a little dark and the lights were on. Just walking around and taking pictures felt so dreamy and beautiful.
(dbq suddenly wanted to rush to work on Christmas and wrote it so casually... I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
