Section 129 Bamboo Horse
The Bosphorus Bridge is also the first pass for countries along the Black Sea coast to go out of the sea.@With the development of human civilization, trade and various exchanges between countries in Europe and Asia continue to increase, and the geographical location of the Bosphorus Strait is of particular strategic significance. Looking back at the panoramic view of the European bridge Istanbul European coastal scenery, given the important strategic position of the Bosphorus Strait.
In order to defend Constantinople (now Istanbul) across the southern end of the strait, the Byzantine emperors and the Ottoman sultans built many castles along the two sides of the strait, the most famous of which are the Fort Rumery built on the European coast and the Fort Anatolian Fortress built on the Asian coast.
Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's cruise ships had already sailed to the Rumelli Fortress. The fortress consisted of three large towers and a small tower and a defensive wall connecting them. During the Ottoman Empire, the Rumelli Fortress became a customs checkpoint, controlling ships passing through the straits. In the 17th century, it was changed to a prison, mainly detaining foreign prisoners of war.
Since 1960, the Rumelli Fortress has been opened to the public as a museum, and in summer it serves as an amphitheater, holding various concerts. The towering castle and the natural scenery of the Bosphorus Strait constitute another beautiful picture. The Rumelli Fortress and the Eurasian Second Bridge Istanbul. The Bosphorus Fortress is the Eurasian Second Bridge.
In 1988, the Bosphorus Bridge (abbreviated as the Second Eurasian Bridge) was built 8 kilometers away from the Eurasian Bridge. It further facilitates the interaction between the people of Eurasian and Asia. Yun Luo and Nalan Shuqi's Baidu Flag are crossing the Eurasian Continental Bridge, leaving an unforgettable memory.
Xiao Qi's current through the Eurasian continental bridge, the Bosphorus Strait of Istanbul also shows two layers of water in different directions. The upper water flows from the Black Sea to the Marmara Sea. The lower water flows from the Marmara Sea to the Black Sea. Fishes flow seasonally with the water, making the fishery resources in this area very rich.
The second bridge of Eurasia Istanbul crossed the second bridge of Eurasia, and the cruise ship turned around and returned. In order to take a last look at the second bridge of Eurasia, Yun Luo came to the stern and met this very friendly family. They kept asking Yun Luo to take photos in their seats.
The cute little girl has been slapping Yun Luo's arms, hoping to communicate with Yun Luo. She is so cute. The Happy Istanbul cruise ship has also taken cruise ships everywhere before, but it is not as rich and colorful as the Bosphorus Strait: the special geographical location, the busy Eurasian continental bridge, historical monuments, the undulating mountains along the coast, and various palaces built along the mountains.
The villa, the trees are green and the sea is blue, the scenery of the Bosphorus is so beautiful. The whole team is fascinated by this beautiful scenery. Everyone took a lot of photos, which made Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi's trip to Turkey reach a high level. In the end, except for some people, everyone's camera memory was used up and there was no electricity.
At this time, the cruise ship was approaching the Asian coast. Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi could no longer take a picture of the beautiful scenery of the Asian coast, so they had to take out their mobile phones and leave a souvenir. Some people said that travel was looking for happiness, and Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi found it today. The scenery of different Asian coasts Istanbul Asian coasts Istanbul Asian coasts Istanbul Asian coasts.
Istanbul Asian coast scenery The building in the picture below is the Belebey Palace. When doing a travel guide, I ignored it. After returning, I found that it is one of the top ten palaces in the world. The top ten palaces in the world include: the Forbidden City and the Potala Palace in China, the Versailles and the Louvre in France, the Kremlin in Russia, and the White House in the United States.
Buckingham Palace and Lenim Palace in the UK, Topkapi Palace and Bellbey Palace in Turkey. Yunluo has already visited 7 of these ten palaces (the White House is just the appearance, Topkapi Palace is during this trip). Because you haven't traveled to the UK yet, Buckingham Palace and Lenim Palace still have a chance. And Bellbey Palace is just the appearance.
It can be seen that Yunluo’s guide was not detailed, so he passed by Belebey Palace. It’s a pity! However, Yunluo was puzzled. Since it is one of the top ten palaces in the world, why not promote it and do not organize tourists to visit it? Leave this question to friends who go to Turkey in the future. Belebey Palace was built in the 19th century and was built with white marble.
It is said that its pavilions are integrated with mosques, and there are many strange flowers and trees from all over the world in the courtyard. Among them, the most majestic and elegant "Xialei" is a place for the sultans to entertain, full of magnolia flowers and dreams, which is extremely luxurious. The Belebei Palace was once a summer villa in the Sultan and a guesthouse for foreign guests.
The scenery of the Asian coast of Istanbul, Istanbul, the scenery of the Asian coast of Istanbul and the European coast is very similar. It is also rolling mountains, towering palaces, villas among green trees, and leisure places by the sea. The scenery of the Asian coast of Istanbul, the scenery of the Asian coast of Istanbul, leaving the Bosphorus.
Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi went to the Old Palace. The traffic in Istanbul was always congested. On the way from Galatai Bridge to the Old Palace, we encountered traffic jams again. It was exactly 18:02 when we arrived at the door of the Old Palace. The Old Palace was originally closed at 19 o'clock, but according to Zhou Xiken's calculation, it should be just right, but people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Today, the Palace will receive VIP guests and close at 18 o'clock in advance.
Zhou Xiken said with regret: "It would be great if I visited the Old Palace first and then went to the Bosphorus Strait." Yun Luo comforted him: "It's okay, there is still time tomorrow." In fact, there are no other attractions tomorrow except shopping. Yun Luo originally did not plan to shop, and hoped to focus on visiting the attractions.
Zhou Xiken immediately led Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to the underground water palace. 5, the underground water palace at the scenic spot outside the itinerary. The full name of the underground water palace is Yerebatan Ground Water Palace, with a ticket of 10 lira. Zhou Xiken gave Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi free explanations and accompanied him as usual. In Istanbul, there are many underground palaces, but the Yerebatan Ground Water Palace is the largest among them.
The underground water palace was built in the era of Justinian Emperor (reigned from 527 to 565). On the one hand, the purpose of the construction was to ensure the supply of water for the palace, and on the other hand, it was to prevent the enemy from siege and be prepared for any eventuality. The water palace stored as much as 100,000 tons. If it was full of water, the water was pumped to the ground and sent to various places through a nearly 20-kilometer-long water diversion canal, which could be used for people in the city to drink for one month.
However, it was closed for some reason. For a long time, residents of the old town of Istanbul could always hear the sound of gurgling water underground at night. No one knew the reason. It was not until the 1650s that French archaeologists discovered this underground water palace near Hagia Sophia Cathedral, and finally unveiled the veil of this mysterious phenomenon.
Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi went down the 52-story steps to the underground palace and were immediately shocked by the huge scale. The entire water palace is 143 meters long and 65 meters wide, with a total of 336 large Collins-style stone pillars supporting the ceiling. The underground water palace Istanbul these large stone pillars are neatly arranged in 12 rows, like a forest of pillars.
In terms of architectural functions, if there were no such many stone pillars and semicircular arches, it might not be able to withstand the weight of the top of the water palace and the pressure of water. The Hollywood movies "007 in Istanbul" and Jackie Chan's "The Mysterious City of the Secret City" were both filmed here. The stone pillars of the Istanbul Groundwater Palace are of various materials.
It is mainly taken from some abandoned old buildings of the Roman Empire, most of which are marble and granite. The water in the water palace is clear and transparent, and the fish wander freely. I don’t know that “it only been in the cave for a few days, and the world has been a thousand years.” The groundwater palace Istanbul is a mysterious tear pillar in the groundwater palace.
The column of the tear pillar has tree patterns and peacock eyes, which looks like tears. Have you seen that person's hand? There is a round hole at the index finger. It is said that if you insert your finger into it and rotate it 360°, you will be lucky. Therefore, it attracted everyone to make wishes here.
There are always some unsatisfactory things in life, hoping to get through the difficulties. Yunluo spins three times in a row for a wish, and Dingding Cat smiles Yunluo too many wishes. In fact, Yunluo only has one wish: I hope LG is healthy! The reason why the water palace is full of mystery is because the evil god imprisoned here - the snake-haired banshee Medusa.
In Greek mythology, as long as a mortal looks at her, it will turn into a stone statue. On one side of the water palace, two huge stone pillars press the banshee's avatar underneath. One is facing down and the other is facing down. Why is it placed like this? It is unknown why it is placed in this way. The snake-haired banshee Dumesha Istanbul Groundwater Palace Snake-haired banshee Dumesha Istanbul Groundwater.
6. An unexpected surprise walk in the old city. After coming out of the underground water palace, I don’t know why the driver didn’t come to pick up Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi. Zhou Xiken led Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi to start traveling. Many self-guided friends described the fun of walking in the old city in the guide. There was no such item in Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi’s itinerary, and I thought I had missed it.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiken gave Yun Luo and Nalan Seqi another surprise. The tram in Istanbul is an important means of transportation, and it is no exception. There are several carriages, and it seems that there are many passengers. The tram was photographed near the Groundwater Palace and is said to run through the main attractions throughout.
Street View of the Old Town Istanbul Passed by an old post office. Meimei wanted to send postcards, but time was not allowed. Yunluo and Nalanshuqi had two other attractions that have not been completed. The Old Town Post Office is a variety of shops, restaurants, barbecue shops, and fruit shops on the roadside of the Old Town Istanbul Old Town, one by one. It is a good place to experience the life of civilians in Istanbul, so there are many tourists.
At this time, Dingdingmao walked behind Yunluo and said with great concern: "You won't be angry if you let you go so many ways, right?" Yunluo said: "Why are you angry? Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi walk, this is not on the itinerary, Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi make money." Dingdingmao smiled and said: "You are really an alternative tour group."
In fact, the guide recommends that the attractions are concentrated, so it is best to travel on foot. There is a walking route, about from Sultan Ahmed Park to Grand Bazaar. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi are walking from Sultan Ahmed Square toward Golden Horn Bay today, which is also a roaming in the old city.
Street View of Old Town Istanbul Street Restaurant Istanbul Old Town Istanbul Old Town Istanbul Zhou Xiken took his minions to walk in front. At the end of the road was the spice market, but now it is already past 7 pm and the market is closed. Bypassing the spice market is the new mosque.
While waiting for the car in front of the new mosque in the old town street scene, Zhou Xiken said with concern, "It won't be a big deal for you to walk so many ways, right?" Yun Luo still smiled and said, "No, Yun Luo and Nalan Shiqi have made money, it's too late to be happy." At this time, Yun Luo found that Zhou Xiken was worried, and he kept saying, "There are still a few attractions that have not been to go to, and you will have any opinions."
Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi comforted him and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't go to the attractions, I won't blame you." Zhou Xiken is always so loyal. In order to fulfill his promise, despite the tight time, Zhou Xiken still arranged Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to have dinner at a Chinese restaurant far away from the new mosque. This is the only authentic Chinese meal that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi have in Türkiye these days.
Everyone was very satisfied. Zhou Xiken is always so kind. The Chinese restaurant Istanbul is like Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi who are not used to Turkish food. Zhou Xiken and the driver are not used to Chinese food. They went to another Turkish restaurant next to them. Because there were two attractions, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi left in a hurry and forgot to leave the name of the restaurant.
Yunluo initially thought that only Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi had not completed the tour. They had to work overtime at night. As a result, they saw a tourist bus larger than Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi on the road, full of European and American tourists. They parked at a scenic spot. The whole car laughed: It turned out that it was still late.
Later, I went to Chamilika Mountain and saw 6 or 7 tourist buses on the mountain. Only then did I realize that the team who wanted to see the night view was deliberately arranged at night. Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi were in a mishap. The driver Mohammed did not know the road and walked around in the middle. He actually drove Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi to a dead end, and after many twists and turns, he drove to the Suleiman Mosque.
Night tour of the Suleiman Mosque. The Suleiman Mosque is located on the west bank of Golden Horn Bay and is the most orthodox Ottoman building. The mosque was built in the mid-16th century, during the reign of the Ottoman Empire, the most powerful Suleiman Great. It was designed and built by the greatest architect of the Ottoman Empire, Sinan.
The Suleiman Mosque is not as famous as the Blue Mosque, but it is the most popular architectural masterpiece of Istanbul locals. The Suleiman Mosque is composed of a square hall and a courtyard in front, and is large in scale. It is surrounded by more than 20 public buildings such as hospitals, schools, and baths.
The Suleiman Mosque has only four minarets, and the minarets under the night are even more mysterious. Although it is also night, there are still believers here who pray. The mosques usually close at 9 o'clock in the evening, so Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi usually visit the mosque at night. The chandeliers here are also hung very low like the Blue Mosque.
Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi asked Zhou Xiken what the reason was. Zhou Xiken said that this was to allow people who prayed to clearly see the direction of Mecca. The architectural style of the Suleiman Mosque in Istanbul is very different from that of the Blue Mosque, which creates a solemn and noble feeling in a large space.
But he does not pursue gorgeousness, but adheres to the traditional Ottoman architectural style. The Suleiman Mosque Istanbul Hall designed 128 stained glass windows, which were made by the best-skilled glass craftsmen at that time. The various spaces inside are closely combined, and the combination of various shapes of glass windows and red and white brick arches is correspondingly shining.
The walls, altars, pulpits and other seats are all made of exquisitely carved marble. At the bottom of the dome, there is a second-floor balcony leading to various places. The railings are decorated very delicately and are also a decorative element that attracts the eyes. The Quran disc hanging on the wall is a work by a famous Turkish calligrapher.
The artistic value is very high. The large dome in the Istanbul Temple of Suleiman Mosque is 26.5 meters in diameter and is supported by four huge pillars with a height of 53 meters. This dome is the largest dome after Hagia Sophia Cathedral. In order to avoid the boredom of the same size, more small semicircular domes are connected to all four sides of the large dome.
These small domes are built on the four corners of the main hall, creating an excellent visual effect. The Suleiman Mosque Istanbul is worth mentioning that the Suleiman Mosque carpets are made of neatly arranged arches, each of which can accommodate one person. If a large-scale event is held, the believers should be spectacular.
Suleiman Mosque Yunluo came out of the temple, Dingding Cat caught up with Yunluo and told Yunluo that something happened. Because Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi did not go to Cheng Laohuang Palace in the afternoon, Zhou Xiken's boss was angry and threatened to fire Zhou Xiken on the grounds that he had not completed the itinerary. Yunluo said that he could go to the Laohuang Palace tomorrow, and there was still half a day left.
Yunluo wanted to ask Zhou Xiken what was going on. Dingdingmao was worried about hurting Zhou Xiken's self-esteem and did not allow Yunluo to go. He thought that a 28-year-old man could solve this problem. Yunluo hoped to find Zhou Xiken's boss to report: Zhou Xiken is good, and he won't blame him for the afternoon. However, Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi can't speak Turkish, and I don't know how to find his boss.
Ding Dingmao believes that this is a capitalist society, a private enterprise, and the method of China is useless. Yun Luo, who is helpless, is in a very heavy mood. Ding Dingmao prevents Yun Luo from making a sound, worried that he will hurt Zhou Xiken's face. He is angry. When he sees Zhou Xiken, he doesn't know what to say, and asks Zhou Xiken without saying anything. He heard that you can see the night view of Jinjiao Bay here, where is it?
The loyal Zhou Xiken endured the pain in his heart and immediately took Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to the back of the mosque. The Suleiman Mosque under the night sky of Istanbul was majestic and spectacular. The Suleiman Mosque Istanbul is in a corner of the courtyard. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi clearly saw the night view of Golden Horn Bay. The red bridge in the distance is the Eurasian Bridge.
