【题目】 Some parts of Finland is on the North Pole (北极圈)but Finland isn’t always covered with snow. It is actually covered with forests. There are plenty of reindeer in the forest and they are very beautiful. Together with Father Christmas, they are the symbols of Christmas.

In summer, kids can enjoy long, long days that never end - the nights never really get dark.

The following are some interesting things to do in Helsinki, the capital of Finland.

Market Square

Start your visit at the open-air market at Market Square on the South Harbor. In summer, you can watch people selling fish and potatoes from their boats, eat a bag of fresh strawberries, or a sandwich from the Old Market Hall and sit out on the stone dock (码头)to watch the boats coming and going.

Take a boat ride

From the Market Square, there are four or five possible boat rides. You can take a boat to travel around the islands of Helsinki. Or, you can take a waterbus to Helsinki Zoo.
