The 1177th Festival Sunset
Hundreds of stone cones ranging from tens of meters to more than 100 meters are arranged in close arrangement, gathering together as if they were to take group photos. People were surprised by this amazing and magnificent scene, which was vividly called "fairy chimneys". The unique local rock formations are the reason for the formation of chimneys, with a thin and hard basalt on the surface.
The white and soft tuff below protects the erosion of wind and rain, and over time, it has formed its current form. The rock cone is weathered from top to bottom, but it looks like a stone forest, piercing the sky. The goremeopen-airmuseum, if you come to Cappadocia, you can only go to one attraction.
That must be the Goreme Open-air Museum. This is a world cultural heritage of Turkey. It is a complex of buildings built on the basis of natural landforms, including grotto churches, chapels and monasteries. The open-air museum is located in a steep valley, condensing Cappadocia's nature, history and humanities, and bringing together more than 30 grotto churches of different characteristics of different characteristics.
These churches were originally built by Christians who moved to Cappadocia from evading political persecution. To cover up, they built churches with mottled murals inside, which were wonderful. The more famous churches include the apple church (elmali) church and the Santa Barbara Chapel barachurch.
Snake church snake (yilanli) church, dark church darkchurch (karanlikkilise), tokali church buckle (tokali) church, fierce eye church elnazarchurch, slipper church carrikli (sandalrch, hidden church saklichurch, etc. I want to take all these scenery into my eyes.
It took about two hours. I got up at 3:30 in the morning. At 4 o'clock, the hot air balloon car had already arrived at the door waiting for Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo. The hot air balloon that Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo decided was kingflight from royalballon. When I arrived at the hot air balloon company, I had breakfast first.
Breakfast is a buffet and there are a wide variety. After breakfast, everyone was looking forward to the hot air balloon trip. They walked outside and waited for the departure! The hot air balloon cars lined up to wait for the departure. A very unfortunate thing happened. After waiting for about half an hour, the staff called everyone together.
After hearing him say the first word unfortunately, Yunluo knew that the hot air balloon trip between Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo could only be a regret. The reason for the cancellation of the hot air balloon is because of the weather problems, which looks good. However, the wind is very strong, which affects the flight safety of the hot air balloon.
This is a very regrettable thing, but when Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo returned to the hotel, the Chinese tourists on the same bus told their experiences. They came here three days ago. However, due to weather, the hot air balloons were cancelled two days ago. They modified their itinerary to take the hot air balloon and waited here. On the third day, yesterday, they finally flew.
However, there were too many tourists in the past two days, and they had to meet the tourists who were booked on that day first, so it was not their turn. Today, it was cancelled due to weather problems, which was simply a mess! Listening to their experience, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo suddenly felt that they were much better than them, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had once sat on hot air balloons on the Gold Coast of Australia.
So my expectations for hot air balloons are not that strong. Although I didn’t sit well this time, I saved 500 euros (4,200 yuan, priced in June 2014), and this regret also indicates that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo will come to Turkey again. Hot air balloon tips: Hot air balloons rely very high on the weather.
Moreover, the weather is not easy to predict in advance, so if you have to take a hot air balloon, please arrange more time in Cappadocia. Or make backup plans. Some people may just go to some places once in their lifetime, but this trip to Turkey has left many regrets for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo due to holidays, language and weather.
So Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo felt that they would come back in the future. Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo returned to the hotel to take a break. They slept until 8 o'clock and had another breakfast in the hotel (no food, no food), and then waited for the Red Line tour group in the hotel to accept Lan Shuqi and Yunluo. The green line of the previous day Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo had a good time, and I look forward to the same company today.
But after the car arrived, Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo saw that the Red Line was another travel agency. The people who were traveling with Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo were 4 Americans, 3 Indians, 1 Japanese and two other Chinese. The first stop of Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo was still the first stop of the Green Line yesterday, the entire area of Goreme.
This time, Yun Luo looked at the land from another angle. Next, Nalan Shiqi and Yun Luo came to Pashabe. Here are the most beautiful and cute fairy chimneys in the entire Cappadocia region. There is a low-high mountain here, you can climb up from the side, so that you can see the fairy chimneys in a higher place.
The surrounding landforms are spectacular. All kinds of strange rocks. It seems that it is raining there. Immortal chimneys. This is the hill that is viewing. You must come up to take a look. Immortal chimneys of various shapes. In addition to these Immortal chimneys, there are many large caves here. However, due to the group, I started to spend a long time on the mountain.
So in the end, Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo didn't have enough time to see them all. If you come by yourself, you can stay here for more time. Seeing a big dandelion, it's really big! Next Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo came to Dave Rant Canyon. Look, there was a camel there.
Daveland Canyon has the best-shaped volcanic cones and is also the most densely populated volcanic cones in Cappadocia. Admiring these volcanic cones is like children watching the clouds. Here are seals, dolphins, Napoleon's hats, kissing birds, Virgin Mary and various reptiles. If you have a wealth of time, you can walk up and take a look.
Most of the volcanic cones are topped by dark hard rocks on the platform, which will protect the volcanic cones from weathering, while the circle at the lower part will first fall apart. This process is called differential erosion. At noon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo came to Avanos, a small town with many pottery shops.
Since Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo are tour groups, they usually get off the car and walk to a pottery shop, and then get on the car and leave. However, if you come here by yourself, you can walk around this town. On both sides of the alley are gradually dilapidated Greek-style houses. Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo came to a pottery shop, and the clerk showed Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo how to sit on pottery.
It is said that this elder who is making pottery has been engaged in pottery for more than 50 years. But from an aesthetic point of view, all kinds of pottery here are very beautiful. But as tourist attractions, you know, let you shop, so the prices are expensive, just take a look. Yunluo saw the book that there is a shop in this small town called chezgalip, which has a hair museum.
It has collected 160,000 samples of female hair, which is very strange, but Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are not available to this store. After lunch, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo came to the most important attraction today - the Goreme Open-air Museum. This is also the most famous museum in the entire Cappadocia region. It is a must-visit attraction. It takes about 2 hours to visit.
The Goreme Open-air Museum is one of Turkey's world cultural heritage sites. It was originally an important Byzantine monastery settlement. It once lived about 20 monks. From the 17th century, it became a pilgrimage site. The entire grotto church, chapel and monastery complex is located on a mountain 1 km away from Goreme.
Another unfortunate thing here is that when Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo visited this most important attraction, it rained and it was very heavy. Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo did not bring an umbrella, which caused him to hide in the cave for a long time, and many places were evacuated without visiting, which was very regrettable.
However, compared to the cancellation of the hot air balloon, this is nothing, because Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo thought that they would definitely come in the future. Visiting tips: Must visit attractions in Caladocia, please plan at least 2 hours of visit. Yunluo will list what Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo saw.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see theo, which is also the most famous building in this museum. Next, you should visit the Chapel of St. Basel and the Chapel of Apple in order. In order to commemorate one of the most important saints in Cappadocia, the Chapel of St. Basel is hung on the left side of the main hall and the cross of the Malta on the right side.
Next to it, St. George and St. Theodore are killing a dragon that symbolizes the pagans. There are wet murals of Bible stories in the Apple Church, which are well preserved. However, when Nalan Shiqi and Yun Luo arrived, they were about to catch the peak of the team in the afternoon, so the tour guide took Nalan Shiqi and Yun Luo forward and visited other buildings.
However, it was raining heavily later, so I didn't go to these two places. Keep it next time to see it. This is the Dark Church. If you enter, you have to pay another 10 lira (30 RMB) ticket. The Dark Church is very small, but the church is full of exquisite wet murals, which is worth spending time to visit. The visit requires additional payment because it supports the huge repair costs of the church.
At the same time, it is also to reduce the number of tourists and better protect the wet frescoes. The Dark Church is one of the best preserved churches in Turkey. Because there were only a few windows, it was named Dark Church. Photos cannot be taken in the Dark Church. From this church, the rain has begun. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo hurriedly walked through other caves and kept sheltering from the rain. (To be continued.) r1052
