Sapporo, a city walk in the snow country.

In the romantic snow country of Hokkaido, Sapporo is like a shining pearl, exuding a unique charm. Today, follow my footsteps and embark on an amazing city walk in Sapporo. In the morning, the first stop is Hokkaido University. Stepping into the campus feels like entering a quiet academic forest. Tall trees shade the sky, and European-style buildings are scattered, full of historical weight. Walking around, you can see energetic male college students, either rushing to class or sitting on benches reading, adding a touch of youth to the campus. The beauty of Hokkaido University lies not only in the integration of architecture and nature but also in the strong academic atmosphere that makes people slow down and immerse themselves in it. Near noon, when your stomach starts to growl, head straight to the Central Seafood Market. This place is a paradise for seafood lovers, with a dazzling array of fresh seafood. There is a highly recommended restaurant in the market that you must try. The signature dish is the king crab two ways. Steamed retains the original sweetness of the crab meat, melting in your mouth as if the fresh taste of the sea is dancing on your tongue; charcoal-grilled gives the crab meat a unique charred aroma, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making every bite intoxicating. Order two portions of seafood rice, with plump salmon, sweet tuna, and soft sea urchin... all piled on top of the rice. With one spoonful, various flavors blend in your mouth. Don't forget to have a pot of sake, the slightly tipsy feeling adds to the feast. As for the cost, let's just say, for this ultimate delicacy, it's all worth it. In the afternoon, head to Maruyama Park. In winter, Maruyama Park is covered in snow, like a fairy tale world. In the park, the largest Hokkaido Shrine in Hokkaido is solemn and majestic. Stepping into the shrine, you can feel the intertwining of history and modernity. Here, get a fortune and health amulet for your friends, passing on good wishes. Get a fortune for yourself too, and accept the result calmly, whether good or bad. After all, the meaning of travel lies in enjoying the unknown and surprises. Last night, many friends sent messages to check on me. Here is a unified reply: I am in Hokkaido, very far from Kyushu, where the earthquake occurred, and I am very safe now, so don't worry. Although travel is full of unknowns, as long as you are prepared and stay optimistic, you will gain a lot of beauty. Sapporo's city walk has beautiful scenery, delicious food, and stories, with surprises and touches at every step. Come to Sapporo and start your wonderful journey!
