Before leaving for Copenhagen, we spent the morning exploring a few more of Helsinki's highlights, including Oodi Central Library, the Rock Church, and the Old Church.

Of the three, Oodi Central Library impressed us the most. Its sweeping wooden façade resembles a floating ship, while the bright, open third floor is flooded with natural light from expansive glass walls. The gently sloping floor, flowing white ceiling, and rows of bookshelves create an inviting space that encourages people to relax and read. The second floor is unlike any library we have visited. It is filled with creative spaces and workshops equipped with 3D printers, music studios, sewing machines, laser cutters, and other tools. Oodi is much more than a place to borrow books—it is a community center where people can learn through books, computers, technology, and hands-on activities. We couldn't help wishing that our local library offered some of these features.

Finland’s Parliament House stood just across the highway. We also took a leisurely stroll through the nearby park, enjoying the outdoor art exhibits along the way.

The Rock Church, carved directly into solid bedrock and topped with a circular copper dome, was also fascinating. Its simple yet distinctive design creates a peaceful and unique atmosphere.

In the afternoon, we flew to Copenhagen. After checking into our hotel, we set out in search of traditional Danish food. We eventually chose a restaurant serving crispy pork sandwiches, and they turned out to be excellent.

Next, we decided to do a little scouting for the next few days, getting a general feel for Copenhagen’s city center. Along the way, we were surprised by just how many people were riding bicycles—and by the countless bikes parked along the streets.

Before long, we arrived at Nyhavn, one of Copenhagen’s most iconic postcard scenes. With its colorful buildings lining the canal and restaurants everywhere, it was every bit as picturesque as we had imagined. Of course, it was also packed with tourists.

After spending nearly two weeks in Finland, where most of the places we visited had been remarkably quiet except for our last few days in Helsinki, it felt strange to suddenly find ourselves surrounded by so many people again. We had almost forgotten what a busy tourist destination felt like!

Before nightfall, we wandered leisurely through the streets around our hotel, admiring Copenhagen’s elegant architecture and pleasant cityscape. It was a relaxing introduction to the city and left us looking forward to exploring more of Copenhagen over the next few days.

离开赫尔辛基前,我们利用上午的时间参观了几处还未造访的景点,包括 Oodi 中央图书馆、岩石教堂和赫尔辛基老教堂。

三者之中,最令我们印象深刻的是 Oodi 中央图书馆。整栋建筑以木质外墙包覆,外形宛如一艘停泊在城市中的巨轮。三楼宽敞明亮,大片玻璃帷幕将自然光引入室内,缓缓起伏的地板、流线型的白色天花板,以及整齐排列的书架,共同营造出舒适宁静的阅读空间。

二楼则完全颠覆了我们对图书馆的想象。这里设有各种创意工作坊,配备 3D 打印机、音乐录音室、缝纫机、雷射切割机等设备,供市民免费学习和使用。Oodi 不只是借阅书籍的地方,更像是一座开放的学习中心,让人们通过书籍、电脑、先进科技和动手实践不断探索与成长。我们不禁希望,自己家乡的图书馆未来也能拥有这样的功能。

岩石教堂同样令人赞叹。整座教堂直接凿建于天然花岗岩之中,上方覆盖着圆形铜制穹顶。简洁而独特的设计,与岩石浑然一体,营造出宁静祥和的氛围,让人印象深刻。

下午,我们搭机前往丹麦首都哥本哈根。办理完酒店入住手续后,我们便迫不及待地外出寻找传统丹麦美食。最后选了一家供应丹麦脆皮猪肉三明治(Crispy Pork Sandwich)的小餐厅,味道出乎意料地好,也为我们对丹麦美食留下了美好的第一印象。

接下来就是为后面几天的行程先探个路,大概了解一下城中心的情况。路上骑自行车的人以及大量停在路边的自行车让我们有些惊讶。没走多远便来到新港(Nyhavn),是哥本哈根最经典的明信片景色。彩色房屋、运河、餐厅林立,当然游客也非常多。之前在芬兰的半个月,除了最后在赫尔辛基的那几天,其它都是没人的地方。很久没见到这么多的人,感觉都有些不习惯了。夜幕降临前,我们漫步在酒店周围的街道,欣赏这座城市优雅的建筑与宁静的街景。满怀期待地迎接接下来在哥本哈根的旅程。
