Introduction
Solvang is a small town located in Santa Barbara County in central California, USA. Its name comes from the Danish word for "a sunny and idyllic countryside". According to legend, three Danish-Americans bought the land in 1903, and in 1911, a group of Danish immigrants who missed their homeland began to settle here, gradually creating a typical Nordic town with a pure and charming charm. Solvang is the perfect blend of California elements and Danish charm, and is known by Danes as "a village more Danish than Denmark". In the early years, the town mainly sold horses and agricultural products, but now it has become a tourist destination with over 5,000 residents, most of whom work in tourism-related industries. It is worth mentioning that when the Danish king visited the United States, he specifically came to Solvang to visit. Today, the town boasts picturesque Danish-style architecture, windmills, cuisine, and crafts, making it a beautiful place to visit. Transportation Self-driving.
