From Smoky Lamb to Skyr Delights: A Nordic Journey in Beijing 🧊🌌
Imagine biting into tender smoked lamb from the Faroe Islands while hearing folktales of Greenland’s northern lights—all in the heart of Beijing! 🏙️ The 2025 West Nordic Day celebration, hosted by the Embassy of Iceland, transformed the Chinese capital into a vibrant hub of Arctic culture and culinary magic on April 10.
Teaming up with Greenland and the Faroe Islands’ representatives, the event served up more than just food: Think interactive VR tours of Iceland’s glaciers 🏔️, traditional Inuit throat singing performances, and workshops on sustainable fishing practices. Foodies buzzed about artisanal cheeses, cloudberry jams, and playful skyr-based desserts inspired by TikTok trends.
“This is about sharing stories,” said Iceland’s ambassador, grinning beside a display of geothermal-heated bread. “From Arctic sustainability to Viking sagas, we’re bridging cultures one plate—and pixel—at a time.” ✨
Tourism boards teased upcoming adventures: think ice cave treks in Greenland and puffin-spotting boat trips off Faroese coasts. For Beijing’s Gen-Z crowd, it was a tantalizing taste of #ArcticWanderlust. ❄️
