Night view of Golden Horn Bay Istanbul Night view of Golden Horn Bay Istanbul Suleiman Mosque The last attraction today is the night view of Chamilika Mountain. The Chamilika Mountain is located. On the way from Suleiman Mosque to Chamilika Mountain, Yunluo has been thinking about Zhou Xiken. He is a foreign place and has no language and has no way to reflect. Yunluo felt deeply saddened for Zhou Xiken.
There are so many accidents and accidents today: if it didn't rain in the morning, Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi would not go to the Military Museum, but went directly to the Old Palace; if the driver did not drive the car to the gate of the New Palace, Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi would go directly to the Old Palace; if today was not Sunday and there were few tourists, Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi would not have to wait for two hours in the New Palace.
If it wasn't already past 12 o'clock, Zhou Xiken was worried that Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi would go hungry, Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi could go directly to the Bosphorus cruise ship to save some time; if they didn't have lunch under the Galata Bridge, everyone wouldn't be strolling on the Galata Bridge.
If everyone moves faster and doesn't get separated when walking on the Galata Bridge, they can save time; if Yunluo doesn't want to chase the sunshine of the Bosphorus, they will also go to the Old Palace; if there is no traffic jam on the road, Yunluo and Nalan Seqi will arrive at the door of the Old Palace before 18 o'clock and enter the Old Palace.
Oh, oh, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this is arranged by God, and everything is together. From Zhou Xiken's perspective: in the morning, if Zhou Xiken doesn't care about the wind and rain, Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi will definitely go to the old palace; if Zhou Xiken disagrees with Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi's addition of the new palace outside the itinerary, it will not delay more than 3 hours, then he will definitely go to the old palace.
If Zhou Xiken is not so kind, he will just find a restaurant near the Old Palace to give lunch, and will not go to the Galata Bridge to eat for more than two hours. He will also go to the Old Palace; if Zhou Xiken does not accommodate everyone's delays, he will also have time to go to the Old Palace; if Zhou Xiken does not meet Yun Luo's request to go to the Bosphorus first, he can also go to the Old Palace.
What I missed was only the sunshine in the Bosphorus Strait, rather than losing Zhou Xiken's job; if I didn't come to VIP today, Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi could have entered the old palace. However, Zhou Xiken was such a loyal and kind person. He thought about Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi everywhere, and the above things would not happen.
Yun Luo suddenly thought of Prometheus in ancient Greek mythology who suffered for all living beings in the world. Prometheus brought many wisdoms to humans for survival, and in the end he stole the heavenly fire and gave it to humans. Zeus was furious and locked Prometheus on the hanging rock cliff of the Caucasus and suffered day after day of suffering. Zeus would not forgive him because of the benefits of human beings.
Zhou Xiken was suffering psychologically for Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi. At this moment, Zhou Xiken was like Prometheus punished by Zeus. He suffered hardships for Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's happy journey.8. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's car drove to Chamilika Mountain under the night.
I met several other groups who visited the Chamilica Mountain at night, although it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening. There were still many tourists on the mountain. It is really good to watch the night view of Istanbul from Chamilica Mountain. The blue bridge in the picture is Eurasian Bridge. Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi have arrived at the other side of Eurasian Bridge. Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi's hotels are not far from the bridgehead.
The green bridge in the Eurasian Bridge in the picture of Camilica Mountain in Istanbul is the Eurasian Bridge. It is far away from the Eurasian Bridge. The scenery of Camilica Mountain is beautiful, but Yun Luo's mood is heavy. Under this vast black sky, Yun Luo seemed to see Prometheus' trapped figure, and people were looking forward to the Greek mythological figure Heschles to save him.
The Eurasian Bridge, Istanbul, Camilika Mountain is a must-see landscape. The couple who took wedding photos and their families were taking photos here, and Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi stopped to watch. Zhou Xiken happened to be walking beside Yunluo. Yunluo couldn't ask directly, so he had to comfort him. Yunluo told him.
Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's sisters believed that he was the best tour guide Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi met in the world. The trip to Turkey was the most pleasant trip for Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi. After returning, Yunluo's relatives and friends came to Turkey for a trip, and Yunluo would still ask him to be a tour guide.
Dingdingmao said that he has the right to name a designated tour guide. At that time, he will designate Zhou Xiken to pick up the group. Zhou Xiken smiled bitterly and said, "Okay." Night wedding photos, there are various shops and vendors on the mountain of Camilika in Istanbul, which are very lively. Unlike the situation in China, on such nights, in such occasions, most of them are lovers or a few young friends.
And here is often a family of three generations, and it is really different in customs. Night vendors, Camilika Mountain, Istanbul, Night vendors, Camilika Mountain, Istanbul, Night vendors, Camilika Mountain, Istanbul, Night vendors, Istanbul, when Yun Luoshi couldn't help but catch up with Zhou Xiken, apologized to him.
"Sorry, this afternoon, if you hadn't asked to go to the Bosphorus first, something would have happened." He said honestly: "It's not your fault, it's mainly because the old palace wants to receive foreign guests." At this time, Zhou Xiken still did not blame the world or Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi. He was really a loyal and kind person.
At about 1 a.m. on the plane, two sisters came to knock on Yunluo's door. One of them knew about Zhou Xiken when he was surfing the Internet in the lobby downstairs. Zhou Xiken told them in person that he had been fired and would no longer lead Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's group today. Yunluo was very surprised. He thought the boss was just threatening him, but he didn't expect to fire him.
Yun Luo was puzzled and wanted to fire such an excellent talent just for the old palace where he had time today? The sister kept muttering: "He hurt him, he hurt him." Everyone was reviewing the free and casual place yesterday, but in the face of this heartbreaking news, she was still helpless.
Almost all night. When I got off the stairs in the morning, the sisters told Yun Luo that a tour guide named Gu came. He was very serious and that today's life would not be better. Director Gu said in the car that she didn't know why she had to change the tour guide, and that she would only know the whole story when she arrived at the company tomorrow. Today, she and her assistant led Yun Luo and Nalan Shuqi's group.
A small group of ten people sent two tour guides, it seems that they have strengthened their management. If there are disobedient people today, you have to be careful. The night before yesterday, Zhou Xiken took Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi down from this road for dinner. This morning, Zhou Xiken was gone. Everyone was not used to it, and they kept walking silently to the old palace at the end of the road.
The road outside the old palace is the old palace of Istanbul on the top of a mountain called "Palace Nose" on the south bank of Golden Horn Bay. The "Palace Nose" extends into the sea like a small peninsula. The vast Marmara Sea is on the front right, and the Bosphorus is on the front left, with beautiful scenery. From a military perspective, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The Old Palace was a palace where 25 sultans lived in the heyday of the Ottoman Empire. It was built in 1478 and served as a palace for 400 years. It is an outstanding example of palace architecture during the Ottoman period. After the founding of the Turkish Republic, in 1924, the palace was converted into a museum and opened to the public.
The Old Palace covers an area of 700,000 square meters and is surrounded by 5 kilometers of palace walls. The Old Palace originally had five courtyards. The fifth courtyard of the former was located on the outermost seaside. There are still multiple small and medium-sized courtyards between the fourth and fifth main courtyards. Due to the construction of the seaside highway, it no longer existed in the 19th century.
The current palace is mainly divided into four courtyards and the main axis from south to north. The first courtyard is at the southern end, and the other courtyards extend northward in turn. This is the Ahmed III Pool outside the gate of the old palace. It was built in 1728. The Ahmed III Pool on the left of Istanbul is Gu Director, and the one on the right is her assistant.
Director Gu was once a street policeman in Urumqi, China. He came to Istanbul 15 years ago because he married a Turk. Her commentary was the conventional one. A few simple introductions made Yunluo and Nalan Seqi enter. Dingding Mao said behind Yunluo: "Regular travel has begun. Alternative travel has ended."
It's so incisive! The gate on the right behind Gudao is the gate of the old palace - the gate of the Empire. The Sultan will enter the palace through the gate of the Empire. Therefore, the gate of the Empire is also called the gate of the Sultan. The gate of the Empire is opposite the Cathedral of Hagia Sophia. Gudao and her assistant Istanbul enter the gate of the Empire, which is the first courtyard, also known as the "Imperial Guard Court".
In the old days, the first courtyard was the easiest to enter, the deepest courtyard (the fourth courtyard) and the most inaccessible, and they were governed by the Sultan. The first courtyard was the largest courtyard, and many royal buildings had disappeared over time. Only the Imperial Mint (built in 1727), the Ilinna Church and some fountains.
The first courtyard The Old Palace of Istanbul The Ottoman Empire did not convert the Ilina Church into a mosque when it captured Constantinople, but it was used as an antique storage room by the Sultan, so it was stored. The itinerary of the Ilina Church, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi, stipulated that they would not visit the Old Palace. In the first courtyard, Yunluo chased the ancient guide.
He told her that Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi wanted to visit the old palace at their own expense, but she refused and said she didn't see it. At this time, there was basically no one in the courtyard, so it was a great time to go. It is said that someone had queued up for 3 hours to enter, and Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi could enter directly now. What a great opportunity, but when they met the ancient director, there was no chance to visit the attractions outside the itinerary.
Everyone sighed: "It would be great if Zhou Xiken was there." This is the most common sentence that everyone talks today. Walking through the tree-lined avenue about 200 meters, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi came to the second gate - the gate of reverence. Crossing this gate, you will truly enter the Sultan's life circle. In the past, the dignitaries had to get off their horses and take off their hats before passing this gate, and salute to the gate to express their respect for the Sultan.
In the past, only the Sultan and the Queen Mother could ride on horseback through this gate, while others had to dismount first to pass. The Gate of Reverence was built by Emperor Suleiman in 1524, and it was also the most beautiful of the three gates of the Old Palace. There was an octagonal tower on both sides of the gate, and the top of the tower was wearing a pointed hat, which was extraordinary.
The black-backed gold letters on the gate of Reverence of the Old Palace of Istanbul are the most important doctrine of the Quran. The shape of the dragon and phoenix dance is very beautiful, while the image text on both sides is the seal of Sultan Muhammad II alias the "Victory Conqueror". The gate of Reverence of the Old Palace of Istanbul is the second courtyard, also known as the Diwan Square.
In the past, this was a park full of peacocks and gazelle, and it was a place where ministers gathered. The second courtyard was built around 1465 and it was only manifested during the reign of Mohammed from 1525 to 1529. The courtyard was surrounded by the congress hall, hospital, imperial kitchen, imperial guard station, stables and other buildings. The ancient director only brought Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to visit the congress hall.
The rest of the places did not tell Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi, nor did they let Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi go. Everyone said that it would be great if Zhou Xiken was there. The building in front of the Old Palace in the Second Courtyard is the Council Hall located in the Second Courtyard. The Old Palace in the Second Courtyard is at the entrance of the Council Hall. Director Gu said a few simple words and announced the time and place of the gathering.
Let Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi look at each other. Her task was completed. No one explained it, and Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi were wandering around. All the texts in this section were information that Yunluo checked after returning to China. Outside the congress hall, multiple columns made of marble and porphyry were designed, with the white wood ceiling painted with gold and the ground paved with marble.
The door of the parliamentary hall has a Rococo architectural style, with a gilded frame coupled with natural light. The columns are the early Ottoman architectural style, while the color and decoration of the walls are influenced by the Rococo architectural style. The exterior of the parliamentary hall, the Old Palace, the Council Hall, was where the imperial ministers held meetings, and the space was small. The furnishings were simple, but there was a hidden mystery.
There is a lattice window on the wall on the right. The Sultan, who did not visit the conference venue in person, listened to politics behind the window. It is said that this was not the style of the Sultan in the earliest days, but because a Sultan was offended by a civilian who broke into the congress hall, he accepted the prime minister's suggestion and changed it to listen to politics through the window. When the Sultan knocked on the window frame and pulled up the Hongwei, the meeting was temporarily.
The Sultan then summoned the ministers to enter the audition hall one by one to listen to their opinions. The interior of the Council Hall of the Council Hall of the Istanbul The Tower of Justice is located between the Imperial Parliament and it is said to be the tallest building in the palace, making it a landmark that can be seen from the Bosphorus.
The Tower of Justice symbolizes the Sultan's determination to oppose injustice. The Tower of Justice Istanbul Old Palace is the gate of happiness entering the third courtyard, also known as the gate of white eunuchs. The Gate of Happiness Istanbul Old Palace of Happiness is an Ottoman Lococo style building converted in the 18th century.
Once you enter this gate, you enter the private space of the Sultan. The Gate of Happiness and the Second Courtyard are used as a special celebration. During religions, celebrations and festivals, and when the new officials take office, the Sultan will sit in front of the Gate of Happiness. The Sultan's funeral will also be held in front of the Gate of Happiness. There is an ancient Ottoman painting depicting the Ottoman period.
The Sultan sat in front of the gate of happiness, and the ministers lined up to congratulate him. There was a guard of honor in the painting, and there might be a military band playing in the distance. There was a hole in front of the gate of happiness. It is said that the seat where the Sultan sat in the painting. The Gate of Happiness is connected to the Gate of Happiness. It was built in the 16th century and was renovated in the 18th century.
The Sultan met with envoys from various countries, important officials, and ordinary people here. The Auditorium Hall was filled with many exhibits in the Auditorium Hall of the Istanbul Old Palace, and I couldn't understand the explanation and didn't know what it was. After coming out, she went to ask the ancient director. She looked confused.
I have no impression of the exhibits in the audition hall, which shows that my business is not good. Everyone said that if Zhou Xiken had explained the whole process, there would be no one who would not know. The exhibition hall exhibits in the third courtyard of the Istanbul Old Palace include treasure collection rooms, clothing display rooms, Islamic holy relics room, detailed painting display rooms, etc.
Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi were lucky, and the treasure room was open. Just behind the bushes in front, beside the hollow trees. In the third courtyard, the ancient director only mentioned the treasure room and told Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi that there was an 86-carat diamond that was the most expensive treasure in the old palace. Then he told Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi that there was a line in the first room of the treasure room and that he would not go.
Just enter the second room, and the exhibits are almost the same. Some sisters didn't really go into the first room after hearing her words, but they were called back by Ding Ding Mao. Ding Mao said that the treasures in the queue must be good. As it turned out, the gems in the first room were the most exquisite. Director Gu just hoped that Yun Luo and Nalan Shuqi would finish reading them early and come out in advance.
If Zhou Xiken were there, such a thing would not have happened. The hollow tree in the old palace, Istanbul treasure room, has a total of four rooms, which display various daily necessities, weapons, chandeliers, paintings and even thrones decorated with diamonds, emeralds, rubies, gold, turquoise, ivory and other jewelry, and are dazzling and precious.
The royal family advocated greatness at that time, especially gold and gems, which were heavier than each other and larger than each, fully demonstrating the power and wealth of the Ottoman Empire. No one explained to Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi, and could not take photos. Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi could only watch the excitement. Dingdingmao said, it would be great if Zhou Xi was there, and someone explained it.
Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi were not so confused. Look, even the leader of the Chinese country said this, it was really "the heroes saw the same thing." Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi were looking for the largest diamond from the first room. They saw a bit similar in the third room, but they were not sure. There was a book stall at the exit of the treasure room, and a book happened to be flipping through the gem.
I asked the boss and it was this 86-carat diamond. I took it quickly. Later, my sisters wanted to take photos, but the boss was not sure. The diamond was called "Spoon Hawker Diamond", and it ranked fifth largest diamond in the world. The diamond weighed 86-carat and was surrounded by 49 small diamonds. It was the treasure of the old palace.
