The ancient city of Stavanger, this European ancient city, is undoubtedly a pearl of Norway. As the historical heart of Stavanger, Norway's fourth largest city, the ancient city presents a quiet and quaint picture for tourists with its well-preserved wooden houses and stone-paved alleys. Walking in the alleys of the ancient city, the white-walled and red-top wooden houses on both sides seem to tell the story of the millennium. The stone road is extremely comfortable, and every step seems to be in dialogue with history. In the ancient city, the famous canned museum is not to be missed, it witness the glorious history of Stavanger from the canned sardines processing base to the oil and gas field maintenance base. In addition, the life atmosphere of the ancient city is also intoxicating. Lazy cats snort in the sun, smiling grandmothers embroider flowers in front of the window, everything seems so peaceful and leisurely. If you are tired, you may wish to find a cafe, taste a cup of fragrant coffee, enjoy this rare quiet time.

The Norwegian Oil Museum, located in the picturesque town of Stavanger, is a great place to learn about the glorious history and status of the Norwegian oil industry. With its unique architectural design, the museum seems to move the real sea platform above the land, so that people can feel the strong oil industry atmosphere at the moment they step into the museum. The exhibition in the museum shows the whole process of oil from geological origin, exploration and discovery to mining and transportation in detail, and combines modern display methods to make science popularization vivid and interesting. Here you can gain insight into the significant impact of oil on the Norwegian economy and the global energy landscape, experience simulated drilling operations, and view precious historical images and physical exhibits. It is particularly worth mentioning that the interactive exhibition area in the museum is suitable for the whole family to participate together, children can learn scientific knowledge in the game, and adults can deeply understand the balance between scientific and technological progress and environmental protection. Overall, the Norwegian Oil Museum is not only a journey of scientific exploration, but also a smart conversation connecting the past with the future.

Stavanger Cathedral

微凉的夏日沅湘
Stavanger Cathedral, an ancient building with more than 800 years of history, is undoubtedly a gem in the history of Norwegian architecture. The only medieval cathedral in Norway still retains its original appearance, combining Roman and Gothic architectural styles and showing unique artistic charm. The cathedral's stone walls are solid and solemn, and the interior is sacred and luxurious. The bishop's seating, ornate crystal lamps and carvings of Jesus and the Virgin are exquisite religious artworks that are breathtaking. Benches and decorations in the church belong to the 16th century Christian Reformation, while the altar and the oratorium are part of the same products of the late 17th century, these historical relics are made to feel the precipitation of the years and the cultural heritage. In addition to the building itself, the Stavanger Cathedral also carries important historical significance. It witness the moment of change in Norwegian history, and symbolizes the budding Christianity in Norway and the end of polytheism. Standing in front of the cathedral, it seems that you can hear the echo of history and feel the solemnity and sacredness. In short, Stavanger Cathedral is a must-see resort, whether it is for tourists who like history and culture, or for travelers who pursue spirituality, it is a place worth a pilgrimage.

Very leisurely bay, very quiet seaside, you can see the swords standing in the three stones on the seaside from a distance, super spectacular. The bustling tourists came to take pictures, but still felt that the whole environment was very comfortable and not crowded.

The Norwegian Canned Museum, a unique museum in the heart of Stavanger, is undoubtedly the best place to learn about the culture and history of canned Norwegian. The museum, which was formerly a sardine cannery, has now transformed itself into a cultural treasure trove of fun and knowledge. The museum’s interior shows the development process from the 1879 canned sardines to the mid-1950s, and visitors can see for themselves the whole process from fishing sardines to exporting, including the development and evolution of production tools. In addition, the museum also has a large collection of old-fashioned sardine canned packaging and production line equipment, which makes it feel like returning to the industrial era. In addition to the rich exhibits, the museum's architectural design is also quite distinctive. The old factory charm is preserved and modern elements are integrated, making the whole museum both historical and fashionable. In short, the Norwegian Canned Museum is a museum worth visiting. It not only gives an insight into the canned culture and history of Norway, but also brings a unique experience. It is definitely a great place to visit for visitors who love history and culture and explore industrial heritage.

The Pulpit Rock is indeed a scenic spot worth visiting. There is no built road on the way to the Pulpit Rock, but a primitive mountain road with ups and downs and uneven terrain. You have to be very careful when walking on it. People often fall accidentally. In addition to the stone road, there are also flowing grass along the way, which is full of primitive flavor. Walking along this road will make you feel awe for nature.

Stavanger Maritime Museum

Stavanger Maritime Museum, located in the city of Stavanger on the west coast of Norway, is a marine theme museum integrating history, culture and technology. Its unique "Z" type bridge design not only constitutes an important visual feature outside the museum, but also cleverly connects the promenade to the Kalongburg Palace, providing visitors with a shortcut to the world heritage. The museum’s interior is rich and varied, with the exhibition area connected by a slow slope of 2%, making it seem like you are in a huge sea boat, exploring the mysteries of the ocean from the top to the bottom of the dock. There are not only a variety of ship models and marine life displays, but also a historical story about Stavanger's marine career, allowing people to enjoy the exhibits while also feeling the city and the deep origin of the ocean. It is especially worth mentioning that the bridge space in the museum is not only a transparent public space, but also a multi-functional area integrating research libraries, exhibition halls, auditoriums and cafes, providing visitors with a rich leisure and learning experience. Overall, the Stavanger Maritime Museum, with its unique architectural design and rich exhibition content, has become a great place to explore the mysteries of the sea and learn about Stavanger's history and culture.
