Charming fairy tale land
Denmark
DENMARK
Denmark
On the other side of the mountain, on the other side of the sea, there is a group of happy Danes.
(Hey, why can I send a voice?)
Denmark, known as the fairy tale kingdom, borders the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea to the north, faces Norway and Sweden across the Baltic Sea, and borders Germany to the south. With its two autonomous territories, the Faroe Islands and Greenland, it constitutes the Kingdom of Denmark, which is also the northernmost sovereign country in the world.
As one of the five Nordic countries, Denmark is a slightly contradictory country. On the one hand, due to the geographical location, more than 6 months of long winter can make people more or less depressed. However, in the past five years "the happiest country in the world" ranking, Denmark has never been outside the top three. This is somewhat confusing.
And Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is one of the most charming cities in Northern Europe. Just think about "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" and Lego toys and you will know that it is definitely worth a visit.

The fact that Denmark has high consumption seems to be a matter of course in the eyes of Europeans. Most of the ingredients and daily necessities are imported. Coupled with the local high-income and high-tax policy, as well as the tipping culture, the country has firmly established itself as the top high-consumption camp in Europe. But the most unacceptable thing is the cost of public transportation in Copenhagen, which is almost a complete money grab.
The currency in circulation in Denmark is the Danish Kroner, with the currency code DKK. The denominations of the banknotes are 1000, 500, 200, 100 and 50. Coins are 20, 10, 5, 2, 1, 50 cents (Ore).
Denmark is not in the Eurozone and no one uses the Euro. There is a handling fee of about 3% for credit cards in Denmark. So be sure to exchange it for Danish kroner. Where is it, you ask? Contact us? Sydney Currency Services guarantees sufficient supply with zero handling fee.

dream fairy tale city
Denmark, which gave birth to Hans Christian Andersen, the "father of modern fairy tales", has various symbols of fairy tales everywhere.
Although Disneyland is known as the dream city of children all over the world.
But a few friends know where the design inspiration for the world’s first Disneyland came from?
Yes, you thought it right, right in the heart of Copenhagen.
This amusement park called Tivoli Gardens is not only the most popular amusement park in Northern Europe, but also The inspiration for the design and construction of the world's greatest Disney theme parks.
In order to commemorate Andersen, the creator of the fairy tale world, a 3-meter-high statue was specially placed opposite Tivoli Gardens. The "Father of Fairy Tales" turned his head as if listening to The laughter in the playground, While looking forward to this magical place where fairy tales come true.
Tivoli Paradise was founded more than 170 years ago in 1843 and now covers an area of more than 80,000 square meters. Compared with other new theme parks in the world, Tivoli Gardens is full of traditional meaning from design to construction.
To be honest, Tivoliland can only be ranked second among the oldest amusement park in the world (the first one is also in Denmark, please search for it yourself). But among the most popular local family destinations, Tivoliland tops the list.
Compared to amusement parks of all sizes around the world, the facilities in Tivoli Park are not the best. But that's not the point. The atmosphere here is what attracts tourists the most. Tivoli Land is known as a picturesque place where you can take any photo. From design to color matching, every building and every garden, there are always surprises around every corner.
Denmark Copenhagen Tivoliland
The design of the entire playground is very European, with extensive use of wooden decorations rich in Danish characteristics.
The most famous was the ancient Swedish Malmo-style pure wooden roller coaster built in 1914. Why use "once"? It's because for safety reasons, he died in 2003. Now it is replaced by a tumbling roller coaster named "Demon" with a top speed of 80 kilometers per hour. Every time it runs, the passengers scream. This shows that his name is not in vain.
Another surprising thing is the Chinese elements in the park. More than 100 years ago, Tivoli Gardens was obsessed with Chinese style. Whether it is an antique Chinese stage or a pavilion and pagoda full of oriental charm. Standing on the wooden bridge on the artificially built "Dragon Boat Lake" and looking out, the entire scenery is in sharp contrast with the modern roller coaster beside it, a contradictory beauty.

Demon Rollercoaster
Speaking of the relationship between Denmark and China, the Little Mermaid statue is the most remembered diplomatic ambassador.
During the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, "Sister" went abroad for the first time and crossed the ocean. And "settled" in the Danish Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo in China for half a year. Because the "sister" "ran away from home", the Danish government persuaded her, and finally invited the "sister" out and arranged to "live" in the lake in Tivoli Gardens.
Yes, you read that right, the world-famous Little Mermaid statue also has a "sister". "Sister" and "Sister" were cast at the same time. The only difference is that the younger sister is one size smaller than the older sister.
Little Mermaid "Sister"
The Little Mermaid "Sister"
Now the "ill-fated" "sister" has returned home and is still sitting alone in the port of Copenhagen, watching the sea. But my sister is traveling around the world non-stop.
Look, even the Little Mermaid is "willing" to settle in Tivoli Gardens. Do you guys understand where Denmark's number one internet celebrity check-in place is?
It is said that Tivoli's name pronounced backwards is I love it.
Do you guys think this is a coincidence or intentional?
New Nordic Cuisine
Nordic style has been in the fashion industry for many years. Whether it is clothing or home furnishings, it would be too embarrassing to put it on sale without any "frigid" designs and colors. And what "debuted" together with the Nordic simple style is the Nordic cuisine, which is known as the pioneer of "dark cuisine".
(Learn about the Danish national dish “Devil’s Sun”)
But with the changes in recent years, the main Fresh and organic Nordic food has suddenly become the darling of global food festivals. Even though Michelin stars cannot fully represent the popularity of a restaurant, Copenhagen 15 Michelin-starred restaurants , and a total of 17 stars It can also be seen as a form of recognition.
Denmark's new Nordic cuisine is also being recognized and is catering to the public's taste step by step. But although it is close to the European popular style, it still retains a distinct Nordic imprint. The only thing that remains unchanged is that the belief in food still advocates natural, natural, and pure.
The Danish Food Festival has gradually become a standard feature of annual events across Denmark after the Danes’ foodie talent was gradually discovered. And here, of course, the capital Copenhagen will not be missing.
Every August , Copenhagen holds a ten-day open food festival . Whether it’s experiencing the dining culture of different restaurants in Copenhagen or tasting the many styles of Danish food. Through this stage, Danes show their unique cooking skills and pursuit of the ultimate taste experience to the world, while exporting Denmark's new Nordic food culture.

Butter Cookie
When it comes to Danish food, there are two hurdles that cannot be avoided:
Danish Pastry
Butter Cookie
Danish pastry, the full name is Danish pastry bread. It can be found in almost all hotels, restaurants, snack shops, coffee shops, and even supermarkets around the world.
Delicious dessert made with butter and soft dough, presented in various forms and served with fruits such as cherries or blueberries. Through the attractive presentation, the overlapping layers of pastry, the sweet and sour filling, and the soft and sweet taste, it has long occupied the C position in the output of Danish food culture.
But it is a little pity that Danish puff pastry bread is also related to Austria - it was invented by a Viennese chef in 1840, although the invention was in Denmark.
What does your question have to do with Austria? look here:
Romantic at heart: France
Danish Butter Cookies, fresh butter is mixed into the dough. After baking, the color turns golden and the taste is mellow. If you add a cup of fragrant coffee, an unforgettable afternoon tea is so simple and arbitrary.
The reason why Danish butter cookies are particularly famous in China is because of the endless battle between the two brands Kjeldsens Blue Jar Cookies and Danisa Crown Cookies "Who is the orthodox one?" "'s lawsuit.

Although Kjeldsens is a brand of Danish company Kelsen , it has already been acquired by Campbell’s of the United States. And Danisa is produced by Indonesian company MAYORA and has never had anything to do with Denmark. Although Kelsen has a Danish royal certification, this royal certification is actually nothing special. It only means that the Danish royal family is aware of the brand.
From a profit perspective, both brands are not very interested in the Danish local market, and their sales focus is on the Asian market.
But don't be disappointed, there are indeed Traditional Danish Butter Cookies Among them is a traditional old brand founded in 1870 that is frequented by the Danish royal family. A pastry shop with a long history La Glace Conditoriet .
If you have the chance, remember to sit down and taste a variety of traditional handmade desserts.
The address is Skoubogade 3, 1158 København, Copenhagen.
If you have been attracted by these, then next time you go to Denmark, remember to sit down in a Nordic restaurant, taste Nordic food, enjoy Nordic culture, and experience every detail of Nordic people's life, and record it in your own way.
