The most fortunate participants will be rewarded with a free trip to Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia.

At first glance, Tallinn seems more like a dollhouse built in the Middle-Ages. And it's no wonder; the city has also inspired some of the world's most fascinating fairytales.

A key event celebrating Estonia Pavilion Day is the official release of the Chinese version of "Estonian Fairytale."

So what can visitors expect to read from the fairytales?

Gao Jingyi, interpreter of "Estonian Fairtale", said, "Told in unsophisticated language, Estonian fairytales usually extol the bright side of humanity such as virtuousness and tolerance. At the end of the story, good people are always blessed by God while the greedy or lazy ones would end up with nothing."

Containing 17 pieces, "Estonian Fairytale" is the first Estonian book to be translated into Chinese. We can bet there will be more to follow.
