Many people want to immigrate to Finland. Finland’s vast lakes and coastline, with an average of 4.2 hectares per capita, are not suitable for Chinese people who like liveliness. At the same time, the temperature in Finland is very cold. In China, which has four distinct seasons, the temperature is generally much higher. Finally, prices are relatively high. However, Finland is known as one of the countries with the best welfare in the world, claiming to be "all-inclusive from birth to grave", which is also the main reason that attracts people to immigrate.
