On the way back to Reykjavik, Chen Xing also visited Skógafoss. This waterfall is the largest in Iceland. It is about 25 meters wide and 60 meters high. This scale is not suitable for Chen Xing. For anyone who has seen a large waterfall, it is enough to shock him.
The main thing below this waterfall is a relatively flat gravel beach. Visitors can go directly to the bottom of the waterfall and listen to the rumbling sound of the waterfall at close range. And even though there is not much water under your feet, you are still on the shore, but when you finish taking the photo If you walk back, you will find that your body is already soaked.
Because there is too much water vapor, it feels like a fairy when you look at it. However, if you are in such an environment for about a minute, your body will be covered with water droplets. It will be uncomfortable if your clothes get wet in such a winter... …But that didn’t stop some tourists from standing underneath and taking pictures.
Because the pictures taken this way are so beautiful.
The background is a waterfall so wide that you can't tell how big it is, with countless splashes of water rising when it falls. The lower right corner is the land of a gravel beach. But if it’s just shot like this, it’s actually quite average. The picture is monotonous and seems to be missing something.
However, as long as there is a person standing on the gravel beach in the lower right corner, or a dog, cat, or any other creature, there will be a sense of vast nature and the insignificance of the person, which makes the photo complete at once. .
Therefore, there are many people taking pictures like this. If you come to Skogafoss during the peak tourist season, you will probably have to queue up like domestic attractions.
A successful and meaningful internet celebrity check-in point.
There were few people in this place today and the venue was empty. Chen Xing hurried over and took a few photos.
There is a very steep ladder next to the waterfall that can be climbed up, but the temperature is too low and the ladder going up is frozen and dangerous, so even if you can see a better view when you get to the top, no one is willing to go up. If you really fall, Falling is no joke.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to Reykjavik after visiting this route, which was about the same time as Chen Xing expected.
Deng Jun first drove the car to the car rental shop to return it. Worried that Chen Xing didn't know the way, he sent Chen Xing back to the hotel first.
In fact, Chen Xing kind of likes to have a girl next to him, even Sister Jiaqian.
Even though Sister Jiaqian is married now and is much older than Chen Xing, she is very interesting to chat with. She has the feeling of being the heroine of an idol drama in the early years. No matter what, she is better than a man.
Chen Xing sighed.
The sky is a little bright now, and the street lamp shines on the snow on the ground, making the white snow turn light yellow like the color of the lamp, like a thick carpet spread on the ground.
If you walk fast, it will make a rustling sound, like a rhythmic shaking of a maracas. If you walk slower, it will make a squeaking sound like two pieces of inferior new leather shoes rubbing together. interesting.
But if you want to find this kind of fun, you have to find places where few people walk. The snow in the most popular places on the street has been trampled down and turned into old snow, mixed with dust and dark and slippery. This kind of ground is not allowed to be distracted even if you want to walk, and you never know when you will fall.
Now that he could see the hotel, Chen Xing said to Deng Jun: "Thank you for sending me back."
"Hey, it's okay. We are all Chinese, so that's what we should do. Then I'll go back first. By the way, there's one more thing. We have a party in the school tonight, and the guests are all international students. Among the Chinese, Like, can you come?"
"No, I want to walk around by myself."
If it was an event that the whole school did together, Chen Xing would still go and see it, but today is Halloween, who would want to go to an indoor party?
"Okay then, goodbye."
Chen Xing watched Deng Jun leave before continuing to walk towards the hotel. When passing by a square, there were more hot food sellers here. The whole square was filled with a layer of white mist. At this time, Chen Xing also felt a little hungry. , went in and had something to eat.
The serious food in Iceland is the same as that in Norway. The taste is average. The key is that the presentation here is not as good as in Norway.
But there are more varieties of snacks than in Norway. At least in this square, Chen Xing saw snacks from many countries, and even Chinese Xiao Long Bao. The steamer was made of bamboo and looked very authentic, but the boss was Icelandic.
When Chen Xing left the square, he was holding a piece of hot dog.
Hot dogs are also something Chen Xing likes to eat in Europe. You can add any food to the bread. In Iceland, they even put a piece of pickled fish directly into it. The one Chen Xing ate was more ordinary, with ham wrapped in it. ham sausage.
Ham and ham sausage are not the same thing. Wrapped together with lettuce and meat sauce, the taste is no worse than a steak worth tens of euros a piece.
After leaving this steaming food court, there was a gym opposite. At this time, a young girl who had just worked out also walked out. She was wearing yoga clothes and a long down jacket. She looked like she had been out of body. White gas came out of the body in waves, which was particularly interesting to watch.
Chen Xing hurriedly took out his camera and prepared to take a picture, and finally captured her in front of a colorful spire house.
Not bad, a pretty good-looking sports photo.
Photos of sports-style works are not only those of people in motion, but also people preparing before exercise, walking and resting after exercise, and sitting on chairs and drinking water after playing basketball. All these can be classified as sports-style works.
The picture Chen Xing took now is particularly interesting. The white air on his body can only be seen in this cold winter.
Keep going.
There was a car covered in snow parked on the roadside. It was hard to tell what color it was. Looking at it covered in snow, it had not moved its position for at least three or four days. Someone was looking at the car's rearview mirror. There is a very small snowman piled on it, which is lifelike and it can be seen that the workmanship is good.
There were unpacked seats outside the coffee shop, and there was also a layer of snow, which was covered in white. At the entrance of an unknown store, a Christmas tree prepared in advance fell down, and the position where it was pressed triggered a pumpkin-headed tree. As a result, the hollow eyes of this pumpkin head glowed brightly, and he kept smiling arrogantly.
It was this thing that kept Chen Xing awake all night.
The two people were working hard to straighten the Christmas tree that had fallen down for some reason. They worked very hard, and passers-by took one look at it and left.
Instead, Chen Xing put down the camera and went over to lend a hand.
One of the people said thank you, and Chen Xing nodded without replying. He cooperated with the two people to help the Christmas tree up, and then checked the large flower pot that contained the tree. It seemed that there was no damage, except for a slight scratch. It should have no impact.
"Thank you, friend, you must be a guest staying in this hotel, right?" The shopkeeper asked Chen Xing with a smile.
He had seen Chen Xing coming in and out of the hotel next door several times in the past two days, so he recognized him immediately.
"Sorry, my Icelandic is a bit poor. What did you say?"
The boss just repeated it once.
People who live in the Nordic capital countries have very good quality education. Local people are required to learn bilingual and even multilingual studies from an early age. People from other places will not be allowed to live in the capital if they do not have great abilities.
Therefore, even if a person does not know Icelandic or Swedish, as long as he does not wander around when he arrives in the capital of this country, there is no problem in communicating with them in English.
After chatting casually, Chen Xing returned to the hotel.
It’s been a long time since I wrote a travel diary on Honeycomb. The scenery I saw today was very nice, and some of the things I encountered were also suitable for writing, so I posted a travel diary using rare code words.
His cooperation with Honeycomb mainly focuses on columns. There are no rigid requirements for travel notes, as long as they are not published on other Internet cultural and tourism websites, so Chen Xing has always been very Buddhist when it comes to updating travel notes.
However, as a master of both writing and photography, Chen Xing also has many loyal fans in the honeycomb, and hundreds of viewers came in a short period of time.
There is no way, the flow rate of the honeycomb is so low.
None of the websites Chen Xing currently uses has high traffic, and even Bizhan is not a mainstream video website.
If his videos were more streamlined, or divided into videos of about one minute, and posted on Douyin in many segments, then Chen Xing's Douyin followers would definitely exceed 10 to 20 million by now. And his attention on Bizhan is only over 2 million so far.
Compared with Bizhan’s traffic, Honeybee’s traffic is lower, and his fans only have tens of thousands so far.
This phenomenon is actually related to the planning of this website.
If there are people who often go to this APP to read columns, they should know that the columns and travel notes on this website are not the product of a single system.
The travelers in the column are all invited one by one by the honeycomb. They may only publish columns and never write travel notes, so you can often see familiar columnists who may only have a few dozen followers or go online. Hundreds.
Even these column bosses don’t even have a honeycomb account, so they can’t find their home if they want to follow them.
As soon as the travel notes were published, people immediately read them. In one day, there would be more than 10,000 or even 20,000 views. This is already considered a top traveler in Honeycomb, and this is because Chen Xing's updates are relatively random. .
While Chen Xing was writing the travelogue, there were sounds coming from downstairs, but he insisted on finishing it and publishing it before looking over.
The downstairs was originally a bar street. Every night, Icelanders hang out in one bar after another, which is very lively. But today is more lively, today is Friday, those who go to work have a day off tomorrow, and even some companies with less tiring work have a day off for these three days.
So today’s Icelanders are really free.
The bar opened very early today, and some of the early guests had already gone in for a round of drinks. Now they heard the commotion on the street outside and rushed out with wine glasses to watch the excitement.
There is a procession in the streets.
Foreigners really like to parade. They parade when they encounter good things, and they also parade when they encounter bad things. Nowadays, most of the parades on the street are cosplay monster characters. When Chen Xing opened the window to watch the excitement, he saw a Spiders two or three stories high were walking slowly.
Chen Xing lived on the third floor, and he could just see one of the spider's feet crossing the window, which startled him.
Looking from below, you can see that the spider is being carried by a car. The legs are actually just pretending, but from Chen Xing's position, you can't see the car below. It looks a bit scary... He hates this. kind of creature.
There is also the sound of a band.
The music got louder and louder, until finally I saw a band wearing traditional Icelandic clothes playing in a pickup truck that was driving very slowly.
Looking from a distance, the queue is still very long, and it can't be seen from the upper floor.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xing hurriedly got dressed and prepared to go downstairs to take a look. The camera was hung around his neck. However, the main focus of shooting today may not be Chen Xing's precious camera, but his mobile phone, because his camera cannot record video normally.
After going downstairs, the noise on the street was even louder than upstairs. When Chen Xing picked up his phone and wanted to start recording, Chen Xing saw Chen Jiaqian calling him.
As soon as I picked it up, I heard a shout from inside: "Chen Xing! You are so popular!"
"ah?"
He thought that he hadn't done anything, he hadn't participated in any major awards recently, and his book hadn't been published yet, so why was it so popular? Is it the travel note you just sent out?
That's impossible. How can a bee nest have the ability to hold a person on fire?
"Ah, what, did you set off the Kongming lanterns on the black beach this afternoon? You were the first trending topic in Iceland, and now the whole country is talking about you! You are really popular, at least in Iceland!"
"Hot search?" Chen Xing asked in surprise.
Is this hot search the same hot search he knows?
Still first?
"Yes, Iceland's hot search today should have been a hot search for the parade and the surprises prepared by various places for this Halloween, but usually such hot searches can only tell who will win at night. You are taking advantage of it by putting up the Kongming Lantern. Put it aside, you’re number one now anyway! You’re popular in Iceland!”
Chen Xing answered the phone and looked around.
Am I on fire?
Why don't you feel anything?
In the first half of the year, Chen Xing also became popular in China, which even triggered the tourism craze that is still there to this day. He was even involved in a special forces tour, which made Chen Xing unable to go to well-known scenic spots even if he wanted to travel in the off-season.
But this is the number one most searched item in Iceland. Tsk, I really don’t feel it.
Chen Jiaqian should also be watching the excitement outdoors. There was a lot of noise in the earphones. The two quickly hung up the phone, and Chen Jiaqian sent a link to his WeChat.
After clicking in, you will see the Google interface.
But the hot searches on the right are all about things that happened in Iceland. Except for Chen Xing, who placed a Kongming Lantern on the hot search, the second place is a vendor selling snacks on the roadside because he keeps singing while selling things. On the hot search list.
The third place was not in Reykjavik, but in the north of Iceland. This man drew a white ghost face and went out to scare people. In fact, the material used was his father's ashes.
The fourth one is equally weird. After the dog was neutered, he ran to the door of the hospital and barked every day. The doctor shouted that he was wronged and was willing to refund the surgery fee...
"What are these?"
He was confused.
Iceland is so popular...
A little more casual?
