tra.cra49Santa Claus Village is a must-visit for those looking to immerse themselves in a winter wonderland and enjoy an authentic Christmas experience. However, it’s also a very touristy spot, and it can be expensive, so it may not be for everyone.

DONG C RThe Snow Castle is a large-scale snow and ice art project in Kemi, Finland. It is also the world's largest fortress-shaped building made of snow and ice. The Snow Castle was first built in 1996 and immediately attracted 300,000 tourists. Since then, the Snow Castle has been built every winter in Kemi, and it has become one of the most famous winter tourist attractions in Finland. The Snow Castle is set with a different theme every year, with a total construction area of about 13,000 to 20,000 square meters. The raw materials of the Snow Castle are taken from the frozen seawater on the Kemi Bay.

33K世界环游记Kemi Icebreaker. Icebreaker trip on the Arctic Circle The Sampu icebreaker, founded in 1960, is no longer used by scientific expedition teams, but is now used by tourists for sightseeing. The experience of an icebreaker moving on the Arctic Circle is truly unforgettable. If you come to Rovaniemi, you must come to Kemi to experience the icebreaker. The whole trip takes about 4 hours. It is best to join in the morning. If you join in the afternoon, it may be darker when you return. You must feel the moment when the ice breaks at the bow.

壹笛WangComing to the Christmas Village to take a photo with Santa Claus was supposed to be a meaningful game, but ended up spending most of the day waiting in line (too many people, December 25th). From getting a number to queuing up to enter the venue, I waited for more than three hours in the (outdoor) snowy and (indoor) crowded space... In the end, I missed the last bus back to the city (closed at 17:18), so I had to take a taxi 🚕 It took half an hour to wait for the bus and 30 euros to get back to the hotel (Note: The distance from the Christmas Village to the hotel is less than 6 kilometers)
