Taste of the sea: Helsinki

Finland, the country with the highest happiness index in the world. Porvoo Old Town is a "city of poets" with a history of 680 years. Located 50 kilometers east of Helsinki, it features rows of red wooden houses, narrow winding streets, and ancient buildings that make visitors feel as if they have traveled back to the Middle Ages. Helsinki Cathedral ⛪️, built in 1852, with white exterior walls and light green domes, the entire building is simple and elegant, a milestone in Finnish architectural history. Walking into the cathedral, one immediately feels relaxed, and the mind becomes quiet, without any restlessness or distractions. Slowly closing one's eyes, feeling the world stop turning in this moment, everything becomes simple and insignificant. Finally, one understands the important position of the cathedral in the hearts of Westerners. Prayer cleanses the soul, while music brings joy to the heart. Feel the Nordic style in the piano music of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.
