The intense work and life have made travel more and more one of the ways for people to relieve stress. Of course, tourism can not only relieve the pressure of people's lives, but also bring people more knowledge, and also make people's horizons more and more broad.
In the past, people could only see the scenery at the "doorstep", but now they can not only go out of the "doorstep", but also go to the world. Of course, the world is so big, there are many places worth seeing. These places can not only bring us new knowledge, but also give us a new understanding of the world. Some places are beautiful, some are wonderful, some are rich in land, and some are full of magic.
Today's article will take you to understand the three "unlucky" towns abroad, I hope you can have a different fresh feeling after listening to the introduction.
The "unlucky" town of "Jukan" in Norway
The first "unlucky" town I'm going to introduce to you today is in Norway, and it's called "Jukan", and it also has a transliterated nickname called "Ryukan".
The small town of Yukan is "hidden" in the mountains, which means that it does not have direct sunlight for half of the year! This has led to a strange phenomenon in the local area, that is, the residents of the town who want to bask in the sun have to go to the top of the mountain.
It is worth mentioning that the town of Yukan is also "keeping pace with the times", in order to solve the problem of residents basking in the sun, the Norwegian government invested in the construction of a large project in 2013 - the installation of three huge mirrors on the top of the mountain, which is said to cost nearly 5 million yuan. However, this is a great thing for the local residents, who do not have to go to the top of the hill to bask in the sun, but only to the square in the center of the town.
"Unlucky" Town: Australia's "Coober Pedy"
The second "unlucky" town in the world that we are going to introduce today is located in the southern region of Australia, and it is called "Coober Pedy". It is also the only "dungeon" in the world.
The town of Coober Pedy is a historic underground city that dates back more than 100 years. The town of Coober Pedy is best known for its opal, which accounts for more than 90% of the world's population. It can be said that the small town of Coober Pedy is wealthy, but it has a "fatal" drawback, that is, the climate is quite bad. Because the surface temperature of the area is very high, usually more than 40 degrees Celsius in summer, which is why it was built as an underground city, because the workers who originally came here to "pan for gold" could not live on the surface anyway. Speaking of which, you can see why Coober Pedy is a dungeon!
Today, the small town of Coober Pedy has become a popular tourist attraction around the world, even though it has been "sleeping" underground for more than a century. In the small town of Coober Pedy, you can not only admire the unique reddish rock decorations of the city houses, but also enjoy the natural coolness underground. It's worth mentioning that the rooms in this dungeon are very spacious! Today, Coober Pedy is a world-famous dungeon, and although it exists underground, both the interiors of the houses and the opulent underground churches are not inferior to the above-ground buildings!
"Unlucky" Town: Mexico's "Cola Town"
When it comes to the third "unlucky" town in the world, it has a joyful name – Coke. The town of Coke is located on the island of San Cristobal in Mexico, why do people give it such a "happy" name?
The residents living in the "Coke" town usually drink Coke as a drinking Xi, and they drink Coke as water. At this point, you may be asking: how can a carbonated drink like cola be drunk as drinking water? It turns out that this is also the helplessness of the residents of the town.
Because the groundwater in the location of the town of "Coke" contains many harmful substances to the human body, people can only settle for the next best thing and choose Coke as drinking water.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, the price of locally produced cola is about the same as drinking water, so people simply choose cola as drinking water. However, such a harmful way of drinking water does bring physical unhealth to the local population. For example, the prevalence of diabetes in small towns is higher and younger. However, this phenomenon has already attracted the attention of the local government, and it is expected to improve in the future.
After listening to the introduction of the above three "unlucky" towns, do my friends also feel "sighing" in their hearts? It can be said that the "unlucky" of these three towns have their own merits, one can only see the sun in half a year, one can only live underground all year round, and the other has no choice but to use coke instead of drinking water. It seems that it is also "unlucky". But. I believe that some friends will like their lifestyle, after all, "what you can't get is always the best"!
