    Don't dismiss this historical and beautiful museum. Very interactive art/ architectural gallery and educational. Highly recommend even if you have an hour. They did an amazing job to depict Hans Christian Andersens life.

    In Odense, there are now two Andersen's former residences preserved. One is Andersen's birthplace, which is the Andersen Museum; the other Andersen's former residence is Andersen's childhood home, where he lived from the age of two to 14.

    Odense, the third largest city in Denmark, follows Andersen's footsteps to explore this fairy-tale city. The square is not very lively, but it does gather many buildings and cultural relics, and the overall feeling is very good.

    Odense Zoo is very well-known in the local area. I strongly recommend that you go there for a trip. You must remember to visit the zoo. It is very unique and you can see many animals that you can't see in China. In addition, the guides are very enthusiastic and detailed in describing the whole situation. I suggest that you should study English well and constantly improve your English skills. If you are good at English, you will be happy when traveling and you can better integrate into the local culture.
