Aerial Views: ‘Copenhagen’ In Denmark’ (Video)
Denmark is a Scandinavian country comprising the Jutland Peninsula and numerous islands. It’s linked to nearby Sweden via the Öresund bridge. Copenhagen, its capital, is home to royal palaces and colorful Nyhavn harbor, plus the Tivoli amusement park and the iconic “Little Mermaid” statue. Odense is writer Hans Christian Andersen’s hometown, with a medieval core of cobbled streets and half-timbered houses.
Copenhagen, Denmark – Famed for Vikings and fairytales, Denmark’s capital city is starting to draw the crowds for entirely new and modern reasons. Copenhagen’s contemporary architecture, fluid, innovative design and Michelin-starred restaurants make this Scandinavian city a favourite with the European jet-set. International events like climate change conferences and cycling tours have placed this Danish city firmly on the global map.
Sights – One of the oldest amusement parks in the world, Tivoli Gardens comes into its own after the sun goes down and the fairy lights switch on. This rambling park offers flower gardens, boat rides, beer gardens, dreamy architecture, carnival rides and nightly firework displays. The park is a little bit kitsch, but a whole lot of fun, especially for travelers with children.
Explore the twisting, cobble-stoned medieval streets of Old Copenhagen and marvel at the architecture. If you want to know how the other half lives, take a tour of examples from royal Danish culture, including the Crown Jewels, at Rosenborg Slot, a17th century Renaissance castle located in the centre of the city. The castle was built by King Christian lV, and is surrounded by blooming gardens in the summer time.
For a dose of an alternative way of life, visit Christiania, Copenhagen’s commune of like-minded individuals who have their own law and lifestyle. Christiania is a sanctuary for pensioners, immigrants, artists, the homeless, the unemployed, students, intellectuals and musicians. Christiana is not governed by Copenhagen’s municipality, and there exists a liberal and progressive mindset within its borders. Christiana is relatively safe — there are rules within the community that forbid stealing, violence and firearms — but you should still go with a friend during the day.

Travel Video: ‘Taiwan’
Taiwan, officially the Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. Neighbouring countries include the People’s Republic of China to the northwest, Japan to the northeast, and the Philippines to the south.
Taiwan’s Economy Taiwan was one of the most prominent trading hubs in Asia. International trade contributed to its economy growing tremendously in the 1G00s and late 1800s. However, it suffered during World War II. Its state was so bad, many economists thought it would not recover fully due to its shortage of capital and natural resources, as well as its bad governance. The economy started to bounce back in the 1960s. It continued to thrive despite the financial crisis in 1997. Although there was a recession at the beginning of the 21st century, Taiwan features one of the strongest economies in Asia.
Diversity in Taiwan There are four ethnic groups in Taiwan. These include aboriginal people, the Hakka, which only make up 2 percent of the country’s population, the Fukien Taiwanese, and the Chinese immigrants who migrated to the country in the 19405. Chinese immigrants comprise 25 percent of Taiwan’s population. The people in Taiwan also follow different religions – a true testament to its diversity. Some of the most common religions in the country were brought by the Chinese, which included Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. Additionally, Protestant Christianity, Roman Catholicism, and Shinto were also brought by the Butch, Spanish, and Japanese.SHOW LESS
