Section 193 That is beautiful
Almost all of them are free activities, and the rental interpreters are available in various languages, and even Japanese, but there is no Chinese. Don’t they know how many Chinese audiences are? The worldview is so narrow...
Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo were amazed by these precious collections and exquisite various buildings along the way, but they could only rely on the brief English to recognize the exhibitions and finally knew some of their origins.
Thetopkappa Palace in Istanbul, Turkey is located on the promontory of a peninsula full of historical sites in Istanbul, overlooking the Marmara Sea and the Bosphorus Strait. The walls surrounding the entire palace, the gates near the land side and some of the original buildings were from 1451 to 1481.
Muhammad II (built during the reign of the Conquerors. In addition to some of the above buildings, the current overall layout of the palace also includes some new complexes added in the subsequent centuries.
Thetopkap?palace has been the bedroom and office space of Ottoman Sultans since 1856. In addition, its Enderan part has become a school and still has an important position.
The gate of the palace is covered with Arabic. The Arabic is written in a series of ways, similar to paintings. It not only has connotations, but also has a decorative effect.
The tickets to the old palace look familiar, similar to the design of the tickets to the Hagia Sophia Cathedral, and still look like a key to open up ancient civilizations.
There are many remains of remains piled up in the porch of the palace. From these exquisite carvings, you can still feel their former glory. How arrogant the powerful Turkish Empire was back then.
The domes of the Sultan's bedroom and the chamber have exquisite gold-covered patterns and murals, which are very Islamic. There is an incense burner-shaped pendant in the middle, which is extremely exquisite. It is clearly stated that photography is not allowed in many rooms in the palace, but Yun Luo couldn't help but take a lot of photos outside the treasure room, and always wanted to keep these beautiful things back in the camera.
The prosperity of the Ottoman Turkish Empire directly led to the decline of the Silk Road, but the integration of Eastern and Western cultures never stopped. In this palace built for the powerful Sultan at that time, different architectural styles abound. Perhaps the rulers' ambitions have already covered the entire Eurasian world, integrating the advantages of the East and the West, and always have a blurry illusion when they are in Istanbul.
The warm autumn sun shines on Nalan Seqi and Yunluo, and spends a leisurely afternoon, tourists from all directions stroll in the old palace.
This place is more like a university, attracting students from all over the world to study and study with their precious treasures and ancient civilizations. Unfortunately, they didn't do their homework before. There was a lot of knowledge that they couldn't learn about on-site, so they could only take more photos and leave them to read them after they flipped through the book.
Leaving Topkapa Palace, entering the last major itinerary, visiting and shopping at the Istanbul market. The Istanbul market originated from the market in the Byzantine era. After repeated reconstruction and expansion, it now covers an area of more than 20 hectares and has more than 4,000 shops of various types.
The core of the Istanbul Grand Market is the mall with two roofs built in the second half of the 15th century with domes with displays. Since then, the two shopping malls have gradually been connected by vaulted streets and gradually formed a network, developing into the scale of today's large market. Although the Istanbul Grand Market is an open plan.
The shapes of each part are repeated many times. However, due to the clear division of areas, the internal layout is orderly. This feature is also reflected in the architectural structure: the vault on the upper part of the road is on the arch of the shops on both sides to allow lighting with high side windows; the vault on the shops is uniform in height, perpendicular to the arch on the top of the road.
Although this seems to be a shopping spot, after all, it is a market, but after arriving, it is also a beautiful attraction. All the places are carefully crafted, whether it is a commodity or a building, they are all in a specific color and form a single grid. The paintings hanging on the dome seem to be an exhibition of works, all with extremely rich colors.
The wide range of goods attracted everyone's attention. The handicrafts with national characteristics and unique arrangements made people easily urge to take them home. After walking around, although they tried their best to restrain themselves, they still brought back a lot of exquisite gadgets.
Turkey's carpets should be a familiar specialty. The vendors in the big market are very enthusiastic and will use various East-West languages to promote their products. This brother also enthusiastically asked Yunluo to take a photo with his shop. He likes the feeling of carpets in the room, which can be used and decorated, full of the mysterious style of the Western Regions.
I like this uncle very much. I always smile. When I come here, you will not feel strange. Everything is so familiar and friendly, which is due to the hospitality of the locals. Due to religious reasons, most of the girls here stay at home, and the young men come out to work.
When you enter the big market, you are surrounded by handsome men greeting you. The feeling is absolutely fascinating and unforgettable. The handsome men in Turkey have left a very deep impression on Yun Luo...
As the sun sets, Nalan Seqi and Yunluo are about to bid farewell to Istanbul, where the tide of cars is crowded, and set out on their way home. It seems that they are already familiar with the Marmara Sea and various ancient buildings beside them, as well as the enthusiastic locals who greet Nalan Seqi and Yunluo through the car window. Everything is so reluctant to leave, like a dream.
Istanbul is a magical place with a long history and profound cultural heritage, as well as beautiful and unique scenery and very enthusiastic people.
Turkey is not outstanding among outbound travel routes, but it is definitely a very special route. Unlike Europe, where there are few oriental people here, there are all "foreigners" in the impression of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, which is quite exotic. At Yunluo, at the airport, I heard other teams of tourists praising their trip to Turkey, although it was unpopular.
But I will never regret it when I come. I look forward to the opportunity to visit Türkiye again in the future, visit the essence of this country, and experience their different enthusiasm again.
How spectacular is the Khufu pyramid? In Yunluo's view, only by touching and judging can we feel the shock of the miracle that stood here thousands of years ago to Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. This building, once the tallest building in the world for thousands of years, is still awe-inspiring today.
Standing at the foot of the pyramid, the spire that Nalan Seqi and Yunluo saw was not that sharp. In fact, the Khufu Pyramid sacrificed the magnificent building today after the failure to build a steeper pyramid.
It is very difficult and dangerous to climb the pyramid. The vendors around the pyramid are also very difficult and shameless. These vendors often use various excuses to chat with you, and then ask you for money in broken English with the word "touching ney". The best way is to ignore them and not touch them. The better way is to never speak a word of English in front of them.
The Pyramid of Hailaf is said to have been inlaid with gold inlaids. Of course, it is just a legend now. It is really unknown what kind of grand occasion it was in that year. There are obviously fewer hawkers nearby, but they still flock to sell them when they see tourists.
In the high ground further away, you can see the pyramid group of Giza from afar, including 3 large pyramids and 3 small pyramids. From this perspective, you will mistakenly think that the pyramid of Hailaf is higher. In fact, it is just that the pyramid of Khufu is shorter. In Egypt, the sky is clear and white clouds like cotton float, which makes people feel relaxed. Of course, if it is not exposed to the sun, it will be even more pleasant.
After visiting the pyramid, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo took a car to go back to the Sphinx. This building, which was once rumored to be Napoleon's nose, is still amazing. Yunluo tried to make a visual illusion picture that hit its nose. Unfortunately, Nalan Shiqi didn't understand Yunluo's intention and kept letting Yunluo's fist aim at its mouth. Oh, that's it... In addition, many people took visual illusion photos with Sphinx kiss. Yunluo thought the best shooting location was a high platform, but for people like Yunluo who are afraid of heights... forget it! There are many vendors in the Sphinx "get a white wolf out of nothing", just to teach you how to put on a poop and then ask you for tips. Faced with such a lack of technical work, Yunluo actually saw a Japanese girl giving people $2 directly. It's really rich!
Lunch was eaten in a Chinese restaurant in Cairo. The restaurant was called "Wangfu Hotel". It sounded very domineering, and when you went in, it felt like a very ordinary small restaurant. The food was just said to be well cooked, but everyone ate it all! Because I was so hungry!
In Egypt, there are breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The lunch is worthy of its reputation, because they usually eat from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m., 1:00 to 2:00, 8:00 to 9:00 p.m., and 8:00 to 9:00. Their civil servants work from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., 6 hours a day. So there is traffic jam every day after 2:00 p.m.... It is an enviable working time.
The Egyptian Museum is amazing. It is really unclear how many cultural relics there are. Unfortunately, photography is not allowed in the museum, so you can only take pictures of the exterior. The relief on the exterior wall of the museum is an Egyptian god, but she is dressed in ancient Greek costumes.
Only one cultural relics in the Egyptian Museum are fakes, and the others, including the stone sculptures in the garden outside the museum, are all genuine works. In the ancient Egyptian myth of chasing rebirth, resurrection is an eternal theme, and it is constantly mentioned by the tour guide when visiting the museum.
