Chapel Hill 1

brief introduction

Church Mountain is located near the town of Judel, glenda, on the Sinai Peninsula. It is also called "Straw Hat Mountain" because it looks like a straw hat.

This mountain is an independent mountain with beautiful and symmetrical appearance, surrounded by vast grasslands and a small waterfall not far away.

It is also a must for popular photographers, who can take beautiful photos from any angle around.

It is also one of the locations of Fire and Ice: Game of Thrones, attracting a large number of tourists to watch!

2. Harper Concert Hall and Convention Center

brief introduction

Harper Concert Hall and Conference Center, located in Reykjavik, Iceland, is the newest and largest comprehensive concert hall and conference center in Iceland. It was jointly designed by design companies in Iceland and Denmark, and was inspired by the mysterious night aurora and the shape of volcanic rocks in Iceland's winter nights.

The glass of the building looks like a huge kaleidoscope. Thousands of glass bricks with irregular geometry reflect thousands of colors, which dwarf the rainbow with the change of sky color and season.

This top modern building is the place where Reykjavik enjoys music and holds important meetings. Here, you can hear the performance of the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra and watch the performances of Icelandic dramas and various music schools.

The largest concert hall here can accommodate 1800 people, and there are also two rehearsal halls, lounges, restaurants, cafes, music record stores and souvenir shops.

Located in the active geothermal Hokadoru Valley, the Grand Geyser is the largest geyser in Iceland and a must-see attraction along the Golden Route.

6. Schoug Falls

brief introduction

Skogafos is located in the south of Iceland, 60 meters high and 25 meters wide. It is one of the largest and most representative waterfalls in Iceland, with extremely convenient terrain. The mountains on both sides of the waterfall are covered with green plants, and the cliffs on both sides enclose the waterfall in the middle. The white waterfall water matches the surrounding green plants just right. This waterfall is also called "forest waterfall" or "forest waterfall".

Skogafos was once the coastline of Iceland. It is located on a cliff near the coastline of Jiahe River in Schoug, but because the coastline here has retreated by 5 kilometers, the highland where the cliff is located has become the dividing line between the low-lying coastal areas of Iceland and the mainland highlands.

There is a path to the right of the waterfall. Climbing to the top, visitors can look back at the entire coastline and witness the spectacular sight of the river flowing down instantly. There is a famous local folk museum at the foot of the mountain, which truly reflects the peasant life of Icelandic people for hundreds of years. Legend has it that the treasure of pirates is buried under the waterfall, and the handle of the box is also displayed in the B&B museum, which makes the waterfall famous.

Double rainbows sometimes appear on sunny days because there is a lot of water mist. Thor 2: Dark Land has some scenes of Huskoga Waterfall.

8. Golden Tourism Circle

brief introduction

The Golden Ring Route in Iceland is a must-see route for the first time to Iceland, including three famous scenic spots in Iceland:

、

and

These scenic spots are scattered on a circular highway, so they are called the golden circle of tourism.

Starting from Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, heading northeast, the first place to arrive is the former parliament site (Highway 36), also known as Sinville National Park. In 930 AD, early Icelandic immigrants held the first National People's Congress here, and established the world's earliest elected parliament and the first Icelandic Constitution. The scenery here is very beautiful. The two plates of Europe, Asia and America moved, forming a fractured valley with a drop of more than ten meters. The ancient volcanic movement tore the ground and shocked every visitor who set foot on it.

Then there is the Grand Geyser (Highway 35), which can reach more than 30 meters when erupting. After the visit, there is a cafeteria in this parking lot, which can solve lunch.

Then drive northeast for 20 minutes, and you will arrive at Golden Waterfall (Highway 35), also known as Yuda Waterfall. The water droplets splashed by the pouring waterfall spread under the sunlight to form a rainbow, as if the whole waterfall was forged with gold, hence the name.

After visiting the waterfall, the trip to the Golden Ring is over. Iceland usually gets dark after 9 o'clock in summer, so you can go back to the city for dinner.
