Svalbard - Longyearbyen

That day, I finally arrived at 78°N, the world's northernmost city, Longyearbyen. Because the Qing government signed the Svalbard Treaty more than 100 years ago, the island is visa-free for Chinese passport holders. There are more than 2,000 people living in the city, 60% of whom are Norwegians, and the remaining 40% are from all over the world. There are more than 5,000 polar bears living around the city, so you must carry a gun when entering or leaving the city. Longyearbyen is also the only place in Norway where guns can be legally used. The weather here is very cold, but it is also a place where world cultures blend. People are very friendly and enthusiastic, which contrasts with the cold weather. During my days in Longyearbyen, I also experienced many things I had never experienced before, and had all kinds of special experiences. If one day you also go to Svalbard, you will also discover the wonders and beauty of the world.
