①For the fourth year in a row, Finland(芬兰）came in first in World Happiness Report.This may be surprising to you as Finland is famous for its cold winters and short daylight. Then learn about the people's life there and you may find the answer.
②In Finland, people's life is comfortable. Many people grow up with the library. "The library is a main part of life for the people here," Halsas, a tour guide in Finland, said. "They might do schoolwork there or just read. It's a safe environment. " Perhaps the best example of this in practice is the Oodi Helsinki Central Library, which opened in 2018. The bright, open space has different areas. It was built to be not only a work space, but also a living room for the people.
③Finns love their saunas (桑拿浴)，and almost every home or apartment has one. Finland has a population of about 5.5 million, and there are over 2 million saunas in the country. "There are more saunas than cars here. In the summertime, I go every day, "Halsas said. Taking saunas is quite good for physical health , such as improving heart health and more. But the best reason to go? It is relaxing.
④People also love exploring the outdoors, from their 40 national parks to different islands. So the life of Finland is healthy. It's no wonder the population loves to go hiking or biking--the landscape(风景) is fantastic. "There is a lot of nature to enjoy and even private lands are open to everyone," Halsas said. In winter, life doesn't change too much from summertime because Finns get used to the cold and still get around on bicycles. To them, winter just means more activities, such as ice skating, cross-country skiing and dog sledding(雪橇).
