Latvia has more women than men, women make up 54% of the country's population, the difference in the ratio of men to women is the largest in the world, and the greatest characteristic of the country is that there are more women than men.
This country has two world firsts, one is the world's largest per capita height, and the world's first difference between men and women. It is an ideal place for many men, the ratio of men to women is 18%, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is more serious than "ten women with one husband".
At this point, are you starting to think wildly! But to tell everyone, the men here do not have imperial treatment! Latvia believes in Catholicism and Christianity, and pays attention to "monogamy", which is really a tyrannical thing!
To be sure, Latvia is full of beautiful women on the streets and is a country of modeling. There is a reason for the beauty of beautiful women, first of all the country borders Belarus, more or less influenced by some. Another is related to the history of the country, which has been invaded by Germany, Poland, the Soviet Union and other countries. So Latvia actually has a lot of ethnic integration, most of the people are mixed race, and from the current point of view, the mixed race looks better.
One would ask how is security in Latvia? As the saying goes, "three women in one play". Latvia's national political situation is generally stable, the security situation is good, and the crime cases are mostly non-violent cases, which is a very popular tourist city!
Latvia's main tourist cities and scenic areas are: the ancient city of Riga, the Jūrmala seaside, the Chiguda and Cēsis scenic areas, the open-air folk museum, the Ronda Lie Palace, etc.
Riga was the capital of Latvia, and its trade with Central and Eastern Europe flourished from the 13th to the 15th centuries.

In the 19th century Riga became an important economic center, the suburbs of medieval towns had been built, and the style shifted from classical wooden architecture at the beginning to the "Art Nouveau" style. Riga is regarded as the center of the most exquisite "Art Nouveau" architectural style in Europe.
It is also the largest city among the 3 Baltic States, located on the Baltic coast, at the mouth of the Daugava River. Riga's geographical location is very important, it is located at the intersection of western and eastern Europe, Russia and Scandinavia, and its port is of great strategic importance, known as the "beating heart of the Baltic Sea" and the "Paris of the North". The ancient capital of Riga is divided into the old city and the new city, the old city has the characteristics of the medieval era city, the new city has a strong modern atmosphere, in Riga you can deeply feel the perfect integration of tradition and modernity, let you linger.

From 1816 to 1855, Struve presided over an important earth meridian survey, involving many countries, and is considered by the history of science to be the first accurate measurement of a long distance of the meridian. This measurement played an important normative role in the initial meridian and standard mapping of the standard later established. It is not only an example of the cooperation of scientists from many countries in history, but also an example of the cooperation between monarchs and governments of many countries on scientific matters. The Struvi Survey Site was successfully declared as a transnational heritage site and became a World Heritage Site shared by 10 countries, including Finland, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova. This is the first time in the history of world heritage that more than three countries have jointly declared a project to successfully enter the World Heritage List, and it also conveys the basic spiritual red line that World Heritage affairs have been unremittingly adhered to for more than 30 years in the world.
