The shock from nature

The following is some information about traveling to the Faroe Islands: Visa and transportation - Visa: You need to apply for a Schengen visa for Denmark, or apply for a separate visa for the Faroe Islands and Greenland. - External transportation: From China, you usually first arrive in Copenhagen, Denmark, and then transfer to Vágar Airport in the Faroe Islands. You can also take a ferry from the port of Hanstholm in Denmark or the port of Seyðisfjørður in Iceland. - Internal transportation: Streymoy, Don Island, Vágar and Borøy are connected by bridges and tunnels, while Kars Island and Mykines Island are connected to Borøy and Vágar by ferries respectively. The public transportation on the island is not well developed, so you can choose to rent a car and drive yourself. Recommended attractions - Gasadalur Waterfall: Located at the westernmost tip of Vega Island, the waterfall cascades down from the top of the cliff into the sea. The surrounding scenery is magnificent, making it a photographer's paradise. - Dharamjar Gate: An iconic check-in point in the Faroe Islands, it is a giant stone arch on the sea. You can choose to take a speedboat or hike to experience the vastness of the North Atlantic and the wonders of nature. - "Golden Circle" ancient villages: mainly refers to the three ancient villages of Tehonovik, Sachsen and Djegv in the north of Öster and Streymoy islands. There are black sand beaches, ancient churches, etc., and you can also enjoy the "Giant and the Witch" sea stacks. - Mykines Island: There are many seabirds on the island, which is a good place to watch birds such as Atlantic puffins, and experience the harmonious coexistence of man and nature up close. Accommodation and Food - Accommodation: If you choose to travel by public transportation, you can stay in cities such as Torshavn or Klaksvik. If you drive yourself, you can choose to stay in remote areas with beautiful scenery, such as Vaggar Island, Stremoy Island or East Island, where there are many unique homestays to choose from. - Food: The restaurant basically offers fixed set menus. You can try local specialties such as salmon and lamb, and you can also buy ingredients and cook them yourself. Travel Season and Precautions - Season: June to September is the best time to visit, as it is polar day with long sunshine hours and relatively good weather. - Notes: The climate is changeable, so be sure to prepare warm clothing such as jackets; when driving by yourself, pay attention to crosswinds, narrow tunnels and one-way roads in the mountains, and be careful of sheep roaming on the roadside; to popular attractions such as Bird Island and 007 Island, ferry tickets must be booked at least 2-3 months in advance.
