However, with such a house as a bare wall, it looks uncomfortable with a bed that looks like it is not comfortable, and I just think that it is actually a pity to live like this every day... This is another room, commonly known as the Fruit Palace. The Sultan's favorite concubines have their own courtyards, and the favorite concubines here are all intrigues, and whoever has a prince will win.

Therefore, various bloody plots have been staged repeatedly. The courtyard, which seemed quiet and peaceful, was full of blood and blood. The Gemini, next to the courtyard of the beloved concubine, is the prince's bedroom, and the structure of the bird cage seems to be really a bird cage. Looking back at my photos now, it seems that it is even more interesting than the feeling I was there at that time.

This is indeed not any imperial palace that Yun Luo imagined. Its majesty is no better than that of the Forbidden City and its nobleness is no better than most European imperial palaces, but the Ottoman should be like this, which is different from both the east and west. He went out from Topkapa Palace to find food, and by the way he visited the Blue Mosque, the second of the four villains.

It was free here, so I went there several times, and I wrote them all here together. This was originally the location of the Constantinople Palace, and building such a large mosque also has the significance of being powerful. The domineering Ottomans planned to build this place into six minarets like the Forbidden Temple in Mecca.

Mecca seriously declared that it was disrespectful to them, but the final solution was that Sultan paid for a bonus to Mecca. The official name here was actually Sultan Ahmed Mosque, but because the blue tiles used everywhere in the temple were too eye-catching, the name of "Blue Mosque" became even louder.

The rules for entering a mosque are probably the same everywhere. Take off shoes, long-sleeved trousers, and women have to wrap their hair, not praying time. The only thing is that the temples of Islam are empty and there are no statues. Only the sunlight through windows of all sizes spreads over the temple, like stars.

From top to bottom, the entire mosque is filled with all kinds of dazzling patterns. It is really hard to tell whether it is prosperous or simple. As a national mosque, the rules here are more strict. Non-believers can only enter through the side door, but they can leave through the main door. In a sense, Islam really lacks the courage to tolerate everyone.

It was originally an artificial thing, so why should I force myself to use the will of God to set all kinds of self-righteous rules? It was almost time to come out of the Blue Mosque. I originally decided to go to the Sophia Cathedral opposite and look at the Chinese-style queue. I decided to go to the Archaeology Museum first to avoid the peak. Unexpectedly, after a turn, it closed until 5:30 in the afternoon.

This kind of place where cultures are constantly conflicting is indeed a treasure. The collection here is basically filled with three and a half floors until the Roman period. However, as a defeated country in World War I, Turkey has been plundered a lot, and it is often seen "the original objects are hidden in the British Museum" on the exhibition introduction.

"The other two of this set are now hidden in Berlin" and other words. First, there are the stone lions in front of the Tomb of the King of Morsoras. Only a few carvings of the Seven Wonders of the World in the past are now passed down. The statue of Alexander and the greatest occupier in Asia Minor are of course not uncommon in major museums in the United States.

One of the characteristics here is the beautiful sarcophagus. The two most famous ones, one is named after the Alexander sarcophagus, but only describe the scene of Alexander's war, not the sarcophagus buried by Alexander. The other one is called the crying woman, one is masculine and one is feminine, one is bold and one is sad.

There are many other sarcophagus, each worthy of praise. Other collections worthy of stunning include huge mosaics. Compared to the Renaissance era decorated with gold and silver, the classical period that devotes itself to creating every detail on simple materials is more heart-warming. I wish I could never be as good as the past!

After walking for nearly 5 hours, most of the places where I can go were closed, so the last stop of the day was the third of the four major vulgar places - the underground water palace. The purpose of construction was originally just a simple reservoir. A Roman emperor with a strong sense of crisis added a shelter to him. Although he himself seemed to be useless.

Later, when the Ottoman invaded, many Christians really hid here and listened to the sound of horse hooves above their heads to escape. We should also thank the Roman emperor for his prediction of the unknown. The structure of the underground palace is very simple and monotonous, but the effect is shocking, which is simply a reappearance of the underground secret passage under the theater in "Pantomoftheopera".

After watching, I went to Youthhostel to take care of it. I happened to see an advertisement for dervishwhirling at the front desk. I thought it was a gorgeous thing like belly dance. I saw that 25tl was not expensive, so I happily bought a ticket for half an hour. I realized that this was a sacred religious ceremony and a sin.

Fortunately, it seems that it is also a very famous performance. It is not a waste of time. First, it is a large piece of folk music playing, with a semitone five-tone tone style, and then four imams appear, with a black robe and a tall hat, meaning a grave. When they take off the black robe, they are another white long skirt, meaning death.

Then the performance began. The whole performance was actually very simple. It kept turning, with your left hand facing the sky and your right hand facing the ground. After a few minutes, you retreated back to both sides and listened to sing a passage of the Quran silently, and then started turning again. The formation had basically not changed. It is said that during this rotation, the soul could ascend and be able to approach Allah's bathing in the Godly Grace, which was probably only passed down in Turkey.

If the road to God is so easy, wouldn’t it be a lifetime envy? The left hand is Europe and the right hand is Istanbul, Asia: Cordialhousehostel Türkiye is quite destined to the sea, the Black Sea, the Marmara Sea, the Mediterranean, and the Aegean Sea.

He embraces the earth in different styles. The winding strait also divides Istanbul into three pieces, with the Bosphorus as the boundary between the east and the Golden Horn Bay, and the east side is divided into the old city in the south and the new city in the north. The first time I saw the Bosphorus was in yesterday's old palace, with Europe in the left hand and Asia in the right hand.

Although it is just a man-made division, it is still worth excitement. Thousands of years ago, Zeus transformed into a bull and took Europa across this strait, achieving the future glory of Europe. So the blue and deep strait became tender from then on. I thought the weather was already gloomy enough, but I didn't expect it to be the best day of the three days when the clouds fell in Istanbul.

The next day, I arrived at the ferry on the edge of Jinjiao Bay early in the morning. There were public ferries connecting the sides of Eurasia. Because it was too affordable, tourists flocked in, and it had completely turned into a tourist cruise. Before driving, I wandered around the ferry, and the sides of Jinjiao Bay were full of fishing crowds. When I returned to the ferry, it was already covered with clouds and turbid waves.

The opposite was Istanbul and it was even more foggy after boarding the boat. After a while, it started to rain lightly, but even though the sky was gloomy, it was still hard to hide the green water. The boat journey lasted for more than an hour, but the scenery was still continuous. The ancient mosques and the rare tall buildings in Istanbul were silent on the edge of the older strait.

The completely Europeanized new palace, the dream stacked with white marble, is closer to Yunluo's European image. There are also various luxury houses on the shore. Istanbul claims to have the third most billionaires in the world. Although it is not easy to see how rich the whole house is, the rows of sea view villas still expose their luxurious nature.

The boat reached the narrowest point of the Bosporus Strait, only 700 meters between the two sides, and the sound of waves hitting the boat seemed to be louder. The rumelicastle appeared on the coastline on the European side. The Ottoman Empire finally occupied Constantinople, and the stronghold located at the throat of Bosporus was indelible.

Therefore, even if it was abandoned shortly after its completion, it has been carefully repaired by the Turks and has been preserved to this day. Behind the castle is the longest bridge in Europe that year, and the ferry will slowly sail to the end. Take the bus and walk back along the coastline, and turn halfway into the new palace I just saw. 20tl, the international student ID card only costs 2tl, which really gives students face.

Compared with the old palaces where more than twenty sultans lived, the new palace that cost 35 tons of gold was built, but only six sultans lived were hurriedly abandoned. Fortunately, the fall of the Ottoman Empire did not destroy this giant maze that stretched for hundreds of meters, and the founder of the Turkish Republic continued to choose to live here.

Now the tight security of the new palace makes people suspect that there are still high-ranking officials and nobles living here. The white journey starts from the bell tower at the entrance. From the two gates, it makes people feel that it is obviously more like a palace. A small garden near the sea has an equally delicate fountain, followed by a lot of temples spread along the coastline. The wind blows through the Bosphorus Strait. It hits the body with cold raindrops and tiny waves. It trembles.

The palace must be traveling with the guide, waiting for the next round of time, then wandering around the garden to pass the time, and looking into the strait. There is a house that faces the sea, but it is not in spring. In theory, it is impossible to take photos in the palace, but Yunluo is definitely not the only one who tries to take photos at all times.

There are also a large number of collections inside. But the biggest treasure lies in the building itself. The wonder starts from the Ambassador Hall, the ceiling is covered with gold leaves. Then there is the stairwell, and the pillars supporting the railings are made of crystal. Finally, at the end, the grand ballroom, the grand momentum of heaven, makes people feel insignificant. It is so luxurious that it is simply too much.

It should not be an exaggeration to say that it is the most spectacular palace in Europe. The whole carpet of more than 100 square meters, eight-story columns, and the largest crystal chandeliers in the world, are filled with murals and decorations in any corner. What makes people feel is no longer the solemnity of the palace, but the sacredness of the church.

The New Palace also has its own harem, but after seeing the big banquet hall, I suddenly felt that the harem was too simple. Although the interior is still magnificent as usual, it is difficult to drive Yunluo to take risks and take photos. From the New Palace to the center, it seems that it can be reached quickly on the map, but in fact, it is not easy to go all the way uphill.

Looking at the winding stone roads on both sides of the road that are not wide, winding and disappearing under the eaves, it feels like walking in Chongqing. The city center is Taksim Square, which has nothing else to do except the Republic Monument. From the square downwards, there is a bustling commercial pedestrian street that every big city will probably have, extending straight in the direction.

On the way back, I passed the galatatower along the way, and the most wonderful climbing place in the city. After walking along the medieval times, I was first used as a watchtower and then an arsenal. The heavy appearance was full of war. It was a very pleasant thing to look around Istanbul from the top of the tower, especially the night view of Yunluo, which not only allowed you to see the prosperity of the city, but also avoid the hustle and bustle of the crowd.

There are not many cities that meet the sea everywhere, and there are shining mosques reflected in it, which is even rare to see elsewhere. This is the old and heavy Istanbul and the lively Istanbul. Istanbul is a legend, and the Sophia Cathedral must be on its top.

Its grandeur and sacredness can not only shock all living beings like you, but also impress the pagan rulers. With a little modification, it transforms from the world's largest church into a mosque and continues to be worshipped by another group of people. This is a miracle in itself. Sophia has now lost its name as a religion and has become a pure museum. But the building itself has almost been completely preserved.

So we can still see how two religions with great contrasts are mixed into such a great incongruous one. The three gates at the entrance, without Gothic flame doors and rose windows, do not look like churches. From the front hall, this spectacle that occupies the position of the world's largest cathedral for 1,000 years shows its royal spirit.

Even now, Sophia's Church is still extremely spectacular. The sky light shines through the huge dome, reflecting countless layers of magnificence. Sophia means wisdom. In terms of the "Trinity", it symbolizes Jesus. Under the great wisdom of God, the sound of people is just a whisper.

Looking up at the dome is like looking up at heaven, although it is dazzling but attractive to gaze for a long time. Like other wonders in Istanbul, Sophia Cathedral is also unambiguous in details like stigmas. It is said to be a museum, but in fact it is the famous Byzantine mosaics inside. Thanks to the transformation of the Ottomans back then, a thick layer of plaster was applied to the mosaic.

So the mosaics that are reappeared in the world today are as dazzling as ever. A hundred meters away from Sophia Cathedral, it is a racecourse in the Constantinople period, with no trace at all. There are only three pillars in the center, from Greece, Egypt and Rome, respectively, and boast about Byzantium, which was once a gathering place for world culture.

There is an Islamic Art Museum next to the racecourse. Although it is said that it is impossible to take photos, everyone is actually taking photos. Although it only records a small part of Turkey's history, its collection is already a grand sight. The most are various fabrics, mostly circulated from the 15th and 6th century. After explaining the complicated process, the tour guide did not forget to add a sentence because there were many processes.

Real Turkish fabrics are not cheap but durable. They are incomparable to the Chinese imitations circulating on the market today, making people laugh and cry. There is also the Koran, which is a thousand years old. It was made of pure gold. I thought that only Chinese could use calligraphy as an art (Japanese? OK), but it turned out that Arabic characters could also be combined into pleasing patterns.

There is also a diversion channel remaining in the Byzantine era, which stands in the middle of the busy streets, overlooking the modern city. There are still several small places worth mentioning. The Suleiman Mosque, and Istanbul, where mosques are everywhere, can also be regarded as a grand mosque that stands out from the crowd.

The red tone inside makes Yunluo feel warm and lingering in the cold morning. The cemetery passed by on the way to Sophia. There are many sultan's coffins. The Constantine memorial column commemorating Byzantine was renamed New Rome. It is said that there are various holy objects in the column, and later it was robbed by the Crusaders and the Ottomans.

With the test of earthquakes and fires, I can’t see anything now. Finally, there is the Grand Bazaar, in other words, the market. I always think that this kind of place has become a scenic spot. Please imagine a group of tourist groups going to visit the zoo or the lotus pond in Chengdu. But at least it has a history of more than 500 years, and it looks quite worthy of tourists.

Although I didn't buy anything except orders, many stalls were still very interesting to see. The first one is said to be a Turkish specialty, Evil Eye, which can help you absorb evil energy, but it is said that if you absorb too much, it will explode. Look at it, Chinese people are smart, and don't need such a dangerous way to protect themselves. Just bounce back with a mirror, haha.

The rest is just a few other things. The translation of the sunahotelsafranbolu is a very romantic name, which is just used as a title. Like many countries, Turkey also has several small cities that were stagnant in the past and unwilling to move forward. The Saffron City is the most famous of them.

Although there are only 30,000 to 40,000 people, there are more than a thousand houses with red tiles and white walls in the city. The undulating mountains have moved the judges of the United Nations and joined the World Heritage List in 1994. The night train from Istanbul arrived at Crocus City at 5 a.m., and changed into a minibus in the dark to get to the so-called.

I found that it was still some distance from the real old town. After buying the ticket for the evening, I roughly figured out the direction in English and the more useful illustrations, and then plunged into the night again. I went down a large slope from the mountain, and the World Heritage Site welcomed you to the front of me. (This was taken on the way back later) I thought it was here.

After looking at the map for a long time, I realized that the gate is probably the same as Hengshan Mountain and the real mountain gate are still far from the gate. Fortunately, there is a road ahead. After walking for more than 20 minutes, I finally saw the iconic cincihamam in the city center (which was also after dawn) this hammam has been in operation since the 17th century.

It attracts countless tourists and is also a favorite of locals. The bathroom is paved with marble, which is quite luxurious. Unfortunately, Yun Luo didn’t even take the camera in. The windows of the whole bathroom are extremely small, and you can’t even feel it dark outside. What’s interesting is that there are many small glass covers on the roof, allowing water vapor to flow back and condense back into the bathroom.
