Which country is Stockholm?

Stockholm is located on the east coast of Sweden, near the Baltic Sea, where Lake Meralen flows into the sea. This is a famous tourist attraction with beautiful scenery. The urban area is distributed on 14 islands and a peninsula, and more than 70 bridges connect these islands, so it enjoys the reputation of "Venice in the North". The downtown area of Stockholm is a part of Greater Stockholm.

Stockholm means "wooden island" in English. The city was built in the middle of13rd century. At that time, local residents were often harassed by pirates, so people built a castle with huge wood on an island at the entrance of Lake Meralen and erected stakes in the water to resist pirates, so the island was named "Mudao".

There is a local legend about the name Stockholm, that is, a huge wood floated on Lake Meralen in ancient times, which led the first immigrants from Gatina to come here and founded the city.

There is also a legend: in the past, it was desolate, and the wreckage of wrecked ships washed away by the waves piled up on the beach, so local residents fished out these broken logs and built a simple hut. Because these pieces of wood are not fragments, but pieces of wood-like waste, the built house is rickety.
