To be honest, the capital of Nuuk Greenland is a bit simple.

There are no tall buildings here, and most of them are painted wooden houses of various colors. Greenland's per capita GDP is not low, it has exceeded 40,000 US dollars, but why is the capital like this?

Princess asked this question, and Jack quickly gave the answer. "First of all, the people here are like this. We don't like the tension of a metropolis, and building some high-rise buildings will cause such tension to the city." Jack's reason explained is a bit unacceptable, but judging from his expression, it seems that this is true.

"People here fight with the sea every year, especially when we go out to catch crabs in winter, which is an extremely dangerous job. Every year, many people are disabled or even lose their lives forever due to inattention. Therefore, the people here are full of awe of the sea. Every time we come back from the sea, we need a warm and comfortable environment without any pressure to relieve our tension. If there are high-rise buildings everywhere after returning home, this will make us collapse." Jack further explained.

But neither Yang Jing nor Princess can understand. What is the reason for this? Does the good mood have any direct relationship with the skyscrapers?

However, Chris and Lin Dan can show an expression of understanding.

Obviously, perhaps this is the difference between culture and consciousness.

Jack obviously also saw the confusion between the two, smiled, showed his big white teeth, and then gave a reason that everyone could accept - in fact, if we don't build high-rise buildings here, it has a lot to do with the geological environment here. Most of us are slate and shale here, so it is very difficult to build high-rise buildings and it is also very dangerous.

Well, this Inuit really has a good eloquence, why doesn’t this guy do pyramid schemes?

However, Jack's eloquence also made the atmosphere better. This guy would make a joke from time to time and could also easily learn about some of the legends of some scenic spots in Nuuk City.

"This is the most important cultural venue in Gothob and even Greenland, the Katuak Cultural Center. Since its opening on February 15, 1997, it has gradually become a symbol of our New Greenland nationalism, imagination and potential. Our goal is to build it into a window connecting our own culture and the outside world." Jack said proudly at a building with a brown-yellow exterior wall and a wavy shape.

This building is not small, and it is considered a big building in the entire Nuuk.

Yang Jing asked curiously: "Why is it called Katuak here? Does this name have any special meaning for you?"

"Yes, this name means 'drumstick' in our Greenland language, the kind of drumstick used to beat the war drums." Jack smiled and made a drumbeat action. "Since this cultural center was built, there were theater performances, performances and exhibitions here every year, and movies were screened every day, Hollywood movies, you know, and at the same time, it attracts more than 100,000 tourists every year. Do you want to go in and take a look? It's very good inside."

Yang Jing and the princess looked at each other, and the princess shook her head and said, "Forget it today, we won't leave tomorrow. If we have time, we might take time to visit this great building tomorrow."

Princess' words made Jack very satisfied, and it seemed that complimenting him here was just like praising him.

Continue walking along the not-so-wide road. Along the way, Yang Jing and Ge Ge saw many colorful houses, and some of the houses simply painted many strange but attractive oil paintings on the walls.

Just like the oil painting in front of me on the wall of a house, the painting is an Inuit man with a firm eye staring into the distance. If it is just a character, the painting can only be said to be very ordinary, but what if a crawling polar bear staring at the left hand of the Inuit man?

This painting will immediately become extremely shocking!

If it is one or two houses, it may make people think that this is a casual graffiti of some art lovers, but along the way, you can see such oil paintings almost a short distance away, which is really amazing.

These oil paintings of different shapes and the colorful house colors here really make Nuke look more like a huge oil painting.

As if seeing the shock of the princess at the painting, Jack asked, "I have seen many such paintings along the way. Do you have any feelings?"

The princess nodded and said, "It's very beautiful and shocking. Just like this painting, it's very real, and it's shocking. Jack, is this painting real? Or did it imagine it out of thin air?"

Jack shook his head and said, "No, this painting is a real thing. This is the painting created by an artist named Van Helten in the past few years. It is said that the painting was taken from an old photo taken in 1906. This painting tells the story of local hunters at the Gotthobuen house under the arrangement of the government."

After a pause, Jack continued, "Actually, you have seen it along the way. We have many such murals here, and the colors of our houses here are colorful. In fact, this is a project that we Gotthob is promoting the image of the city, called 'Colorful Nuuk'. The residents here all like this project. If you have the opportunity to go to my house, you will see the mural completed by my little daughter and my son..."

It’s not clear that Yang Jing and the others can truly realize the charming charm contained in this real tour, which can be said to be the smallest capital in the world.

"Have you seen it? This building with red walls, white doors, gray spire is the most famous building in our Gothob. Outsiders call this cathedral Nuuk Cathedral, but locals call this cathedral 'Our Savior'."

The cathedral in front of you is a wooden building, which is far from comparable to those cathedrals in Europe in terms of height or majesty. In developed countries in Europe and the United States, such a church is at most a township or community church.

The church has a distinct Lutheran style, with bright red paint on the walls, the doors and steps all white, with a bell tower above, and a gray spire above the bell tower.

"Does this church look very new? In fact, we repair it almost every year. This is a real old guy. It was built in 1849 and is the oldest building in our entire Gothobu. Every April 16, there will be large-scale gatherings here, which is very lively. Oh, just like the Forbidden City Square in your capital of China."

The exterior walls of this ancient church are intertwined with red, white and gray, with a particularly strong contrast, but they are full of a feeling that makes people feel comfortable at a glance. It seems that this ancient building, which has a history of 169 years, looks like this.

Of course, this distinctive style also confirms the "colorful Nuuk" statement that Jack just mentioned. Even this ancient church has revitalized new vitality under such color decoration. What about the whole city?

Very energetic!

"Very great colors, great churches! And, it is very energetic!" At this time, Yang Jing naturally would not be stingy with his own praise.

Princess pointed to the statue standing at the top of a small hill not far away and asked, "Jack, whose statue is that?"

Jack looked up and said, "This is the famous Hans Egged statue. This statue was built to commemorate Hans Egged, an important missionary in Greenland history. It is the most conspicuous public sculpture of Gotthob."

"Hans Egged? The Danish missionary who established the entire Greenland colony?" Yang Jing asked.

Jack nodded first, then shook his head, "Sir, you are right. In fact, as early as 986 AD, Greenland was controlled by the Norwegians and became a colony of the Norwegians. Even the name Greenland was given by the Norwegians. The Danes later divided Greenland with the Norwegians. Hans Egged was just the first Danish missionary to establish a missionary site in Gotthob. Of course, Hans Egged established the first Xinyi Missionary Society in Gotthob in 1721, and also established a trading company. Later generations believed that Denmark had officially begun to colonize Greenland. Therefore, Hans Egged was promoted by the Danes to become the first person to colonize Greenland. In fact, the original owner of the entire Greenland was us Inuit."

Hearing this explanation, Yang Jing and Princess could only smile helplessly. This kind of problem involving colonization and indigenous people has always been a big problem that can never be solved. Yang Jing and Princess don’t want to worry too much about such things. They are here for travel, not to explore the history of Greenland and Nuuk.

Seeing that Yang Jing and Princess were unwilling to continue to care about this matter, Jack was very sensible and did not continue to talk, but led everyone forward.

The residential houses in front have begun to become sparse, which means that the edge of the city has arrived. However, there are buses here. After soliciting Yang Jing and Gege's advice, Jack took everyone on a bus that was parked with a wave.

After wandering on the bus for four or five minutes, Jack got out of the bus with everyone.

There are several rare six or seven-story buildings opposite the road when you get off the bus.

However, when Jack saw these buildings, he showed a proud expression on his face. "This is our highest institution of Greenland, the University of Greenland! I graduated here."

If it weren't for Jack's personal words, Yang Jing and Princess would really be hard to believe that this place was actually a university, and it was the highest institution of learning in Greenland.

This place is too small and shabby. Any middle school in China's domestic cities is probably larger than this university...
