The four old buildings are the Palace of Christian VII built in 1754, which is now the reception hall of the royal family, the Palace of Christian VIII, the Palace of Christian IX completed in 1758, and the Philippine residence where Queen Ingrid lived.

The statue of The Little Mermaid is only 1.5 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a teenage child. From a distance, the mermaid with a fish tail is sitting on a huge rock, quiet and elegant, leisurely and contented. If you look closely, the mermaid is a sad girl. Visitors come here to observe the mermaid's facial features. This beautiful statue has been cut off by thieves many times, so the head of the little mermaid I see now is transplanted later, not the original. The local government was worried that the statue would be damaged by too many tourists, so in March 2006, the Little Mermaid statue was relocated to the deep sea. Now, in Changdi Park, you can only stand outside the seaside fence and watch the little mermaid in the sea. Mermaid statue, and took a group photo with it across the fence. It should be noted that there are many tourists outside the fence, so you need to pay attention to safety when taking pictures.Denmark · Copenhagen

Gefion Fountain
Gefion Fountain is a large bronze fountain sculpture on the waterfront of Copenhagen's harbor. The sculpture captures a moment of strenuous plowing: four oxen with heads lowered and backs arched, muscles tense, pull the plow, while Gefion drives them from behind with a whip, their hooves seemingly churning the pool water. Water sprays from the oxen's nostrils and surges from behind the plow and wheels, enveloping the entire bronze group in mist and giving the static sculpture a sense of forward momentum. It is also often treated as a wishing fountain by tourists, and many people toss coins into the pool to make a wish. Winters in Denmark are cold, and the fountain is turned off during this time for frost protection. The sculpture itself is still worth seeing, but if you want to see the full effect of the mist and the oxen appearing to break through the water, it is better to visit during warmer seasons.Denmark · Copenhagen

On the way to see the Little Mermaid, I happened to catch the changing of guards at the gate of Amalienborg. Since we couldn't enter, we just watched the changing of guards for a while. The soldiers marched in unison, and the unique ceremony looked quite interesting, attracting many tourists to stop and watch.

The park is the best part of the castle. It’s stunning with lots of trees and flowers. To enter the castle, you need to buy a ticket stick to time. So it’s best to book online first. It takes about 1h to see inside of the castle.

I visited the Little Mermaid statue in Denmark on a solo trip during winter. The cold breeze from the sea and the quiet atmosphere made the experience feel even more magical. The statue itself is smaller than I expected, but its delicate expression and connection to Andersen’s fairytale give it a unique charm. Since it was off-season, there weren’t many tourists, which allowed me to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It’s a simple yet iconic landmark worth seeing at least once.

It's suitable for young children to play. My favorite part is the microscopic world, which is very shocking! The most amazing thing is that I actually saw the BYD booth. Big manufacturers are really generous.

It was good to see the town from the canal. The sound system expanded so well about the buildings and history of Copenhagen. The inside seat was warm but couldn't see properly because of the clouded window. The outside seat was good to see the seanery but it was very cold.
