Section 1289 Landscape

This time I went to the Mexican Independence Square. I was lucky enough to see the demonstration. It was crowded with people, as if I had returned to 24 years ago. I could see this when I walked with a tour group! It would be better to travel freely, and surprises were everywhere! The Mexican Arc de Triomphe Mexican Independence Monument The establishment of the Mexican Anthropology Museum began with the discovery and preservation of the "Solar Stone".

"Solar Calendar" is a worship object of the Aztecs. In 1520, when the Spanish ravaged the Aztec capital, they buried this worship object underground. Until 1790, the solar Calendar was discovered again. People dug it out of the underground and preserved and studied it as a precious historical and cultural heritage. The activities of the Mexican Museum began.

All the cultural relics here are treasures, and many familiar cultural relics are finally seen. At night, take a plane to the Mexican town of Merida.

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when I arrived in Merida at night. After a night of sleep, I started to visit the city. The largest city in the Yucatan Peninsula in southeastern Mexico, the capital of Yucatan State. It is located at the northern end of the limestone plains of the peninsula, with an altitude of 9 meters. The population is 344,000 (1980). It is mainly Indian Mayans. The original site of the city of Tio, which was built in 1542 in the ancient Maya.

One of the centers of the world's largest sisal production areas is surrounded by large sisal plantations. The industry is mainly made of cables and sacks, and it has food, cement, furniture and other departments. The handicraft industry is developed. It exports agricultural and animal husbandry products through its northern outer port Progreso and transport hub. There are many nearby Mayan monuments and is a tourist base. Merida (Mérida) is located at 20 degrees 58 minutes and 12 seconds north latitude.

Longitude of 89 degrees W is the capital of Yucatan, Mexico. It is located in the northwest of the state, about 35 kilometers (22 miles) from the Gulf of Mexico. In 2003, the city's population was about 793,000, ranking 11th in Mexico. Usmar is located in the northern part of Yucatan and is a key place for business and politics.

Its main area covers an area of ​​600 meters from east to west and 1,000 meters from north to south. From the 8th to the 10th century AD, the Mayan culture reached its peak. The buildings among them are one of the masterpieces of this culture. Most of the ancient Mayans built highly civilized temple cities in the dense forests. The Usmar complex is one of the ruins built on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico during the heyday of the Mayan Empire.

This place is surrounded by dense tropical rainforest. It had a population of 25,000 before the 11th century. The 38-meter-high "Magic Pyramid" stands in the center of the ruins. Legend has it that the witch used her magic to hatch a villain with an egg. The villain built the pyramid overnight, which was named "Magic Pyramid".

The stairs on the west side of the tower are aimed at the setting sun on the summer solstice every year, reflecting the astronomical knowledge level of the Indians at that time. In addition, on the 15-meter-high mound, there is a magnificent "Governor's Mansion" that is 100 meters long, 8 meters high and 12 meters wide. It is known as the most outstanding architectural work in ancient America, and its exterior walls still have mosaic decorations.

However, according to research, the Governor has never lived here. The Witch Pyramid is very interesting. You can hear birds singing with your hands, but the tickets are not cheap. At night, I had a very special restaurant in Merida but it was very expensive.

Chichen Itza, Mexico, one of the seven wonders of the world, drives from Merida to Cancun. There is a must-visit attraction along the way, which is undoubtedly Chichen Itza. This building is known as one of the seven wonders of the new world and is as famous as the Great Wall of Yunluoguo. The chairman and his wife visited here in the middle of the year.

Yunluo also came here along the footsteps of the Chairman Chichen Itza is an ancient Mayan city ruins, located in the southern part of Yucatan State, Mexico. It is 3 kilometers long from north to south and 2 kilometers wide from east to west. It has hundreds of buildings, which is the ruins of ancient Mayan culture and Toltec culture. "Qichen" means "wellhead". Natural wells are the basis for building the city.

The existing highway divides it into two halves. The old Chichen Itza on the south side was built from the 7th to the 10th century AD. It has Mayan cultural characteristics, including pyramid temples, pillar halls, courts, markets and astronomical observatorys, mainly decorated with stone carvings; the new Chichen Itza on the north side is a gray building with Toltec cultural characteristics, including the Kukulkan pyramids, Warriors Temple, etc.

It is mainly decorated with simple line and stucco plaster carvings of the Feathered Snake God. Palenque is a ruin that reflects Mayan architectural art. It is located on a slope among the mountains and ridges in Chiapa, Mexico, reflecting the characteristics of the Mayans who chose Canglin Mountains when they built cities and settled. According to the Mayan monument engraved with the chronological dates found here.

The history of this city can be traced back to 642 AD. Among the buildings in Palenque, the most eye-catching thing is the "Inscription Temple" built on the pyramid. The pyramid is a square with ten floors, which are reduced upwards. The lowest floor has nine steps, and the rest have seven steps, totaling seven levels.

The "Inscription Temple" is built on the platform of the pyramid top. It has five doors on the flat roof, and there are murals and reliefs on the corridor. The four walls of the temple are carved inscriptions. Unfortunately, these Mayan hieroglyphs have not been deciphered until the beginning of the 21st century, and no one knows the true meaning of these inscriptions.

Almost all buildings here are flat roofs or platforms. The steps of the pyramid symbolize the stairs leading to the universe, which is a typical feature of Mayan architecture. Although the pyramids in Mexico are similar in shape and are different, they are found. Most of the Mexican pyramids that have been discovered are altars for various tribes of ancient Indians to worship gods.

Instead of a tomb. However, the pyramid of Palenque is an extra-column. It is the tomb of Palenque ruler Baccar in the seventh century BC. It is said that this pyramid was built shortly after Baccar was born. It took decades and was built with huge stones and was only built when Baccar died at the age of 76.

Therefore, people are quite interested in this. When entering this tomb, they must climb up the pyramid, enter the temple of inscriptions, and then follow the spiral stone steps to go down to the tomb. According to archaeologists' analysis, this tomb may have a main entrance, but because the pyramid is made of huge stones, they did not want to damage the pyramid during excavation, so they gave up searching.

The flat top of the tomb chamber is made of fake arches, made of stone strips, seven meters high, nine meters long, and four meters wide. A niche is chiseled in the middle of the back wall of the tomb, and there is a relief statue of a warrior inside. There is three relief statues of a warrior on both sides of the left and right walls. There is a stone coffin at the center of the front end of the tomb chamber, about 1.1 meters high, about 2.8 meters long, about 2 meters wide, and there are relief patterns on all sides of the inner wall of the coffin.

The coffin lid is 27 cm thick and weighs 5 tons. The surface of the coffin lid and around it are also carved. A stone hole is chiseled downward in the center of the sarcophagus. Its front end is oval and the hole is painted red. Bakar lies on his back in the stone hole, wearing a green jade mask on his head. Jade necklaces, beads, rings and small balls are worn on the neck, chest, hands, wrists, feet, etc.

In front of the left foot, there is a palace in front of the pyramid. There is a large courtyard in the middle of the palace, which seems to be the place where the royal family watched competitions or performances at that time. There are various paintings and reliefs on the corridor walls. After more than 1,000 years, the color is dim but still recognizable, and the green is particularly clear. There is a steam room in the northeast corner of the rear corridor.

First, burn a huge rock with fire, then pour water on the stone to emit steam for the royal family to bathe. In front of the palace, there is a square tower with five floors. On four sides of the palace and the tower, there are buildings similar to palaces. In front of the pyramid is a huge square, which is an important activity center for the city-state.

Chichen Itza is an extraordinary stone city built in Yucatan, Mexico. Some of the oldest buildings and pyramids date back to 1500 years ago and were built by the Toltec and Maya. Chichen Itza is composed of stone buildings, temples and courtyards. A huge "people sacrifice court" is located at one end of the city.

(The "Man Sacrifice Game" is a very special game, where both teams need to try to kick the ball over the iron rings at both ends of the field. After that, the captain of the winning team will be beheaded as a sacrifice to God.) Although the city has been destroyed by time and raiders in history, there are still many beautiful stone statues remaining.

In the middle of the city stands the magnificent pyramid of Kukurcan, which the Spanish call "castle". It was built in the 13th century. It covers an area of ​​about 180 square feet and is as high as 78 feet. According to Mayan convention, Kukurcan was built on a more ancient and slightly smaller pyramid.

Until the 13th century, Chichen Itza was a prosperous city. Since then, rebellions and civil wars broke out in the Maya, which led to the rapid decline of the city and never recovered. By the time the Spanish conquered Yucatan in the 16th century, the city center had been largely abandoned and turned into ruins.

Cancun Tulum, Mexico's most beautiful sea, drive from Merida, pass by Chichen Itza, and continue on the road after visiting the seven wonders, heading straight to the coastal city of Cancun. It was already evening when we arrived in Cancun. We couldn't wait to run to the beach early in the morning. The clouds in the Caribbean Sea are falling!

In the afternoon, I drove to the Tulum ruins and closed at 4:30 and was knocked out by the security guard before I even visited. It was so angry that I was in trouble. Tulum (Yucatan: tuluum) The Mayan city of the pre-Columbus era was the main port leading to the important town of Coba.

The site is located on a 39-foot (12-meter) cliff on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Quintana Roo, Mexico, near the Caribbean Sea. Tulum reached its peak between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries and was fortunately present until seventy years after Mexico was conquered by the Spanish (about the beginning of the seventeenth century), but eventually died.

The disease brought by Spanish colonists from the Old World seemed to be the only reason for Tulum's death. A lobster meal for lunch.

It was possible that I had entered Cuba without stamping, but Yunluo asked the customs staff to stamp Yunluo as a souvenir. The Cuban customs posted a big seal on Yunluo with a snap. Later, I don’t know if it was related to this seal. When Yunluo returned to the United States, the cigar was confiscated, and the unstamped hikers were intact.

After leaving the customs, Xiao Cai, an international student, welcomed Yunluo and An. If you are traveling to Cuba, you can add Yunluo. Yunluo will help you contact Xiao Cai. Because Cuba is a Spanish-speaking country and its English is very closed, it is still necessary to hire an international student as a tour guide. The price is Havana, Varadero 80u a day, and other Cuban areas are 100u a day.

Since we talked about u Yunluo, we will tell you what u is. u is a special currency in Cuba. Cuba is divided into two currencies: up and u. One is used by local people, and u is used by foreigners. It is equivalent to the foreign exchange volume of Yunluo’s past. Up is commonly known as the land currency, and u is commonly known as the red currency.

The emergence of u is due to their "good neighbor". The US sanctions have made Cuba difficult. The Cuban society has caused the restrictions on the US dollar to be poor, with a per capita wage of only 25u. The exchange rate between US dollars and u is around 1:0.7, and u is higher than that of the US dollar. It is more appropriate to exchange euros and Canadian dollars for u.

It is a great loss to exchange it for US dollars! The entry order of Cuba Airlines’ Hero Street View Cuba Customs under the street view lights of the street view Cuba Customs early the next morning, Yun Luo and An Chuzhi went to the old Havana area. It feels like the general itinerary of time and space travel here is: Havana Grand Theater, Central Park, Cathedral Square, and a five-cent tavern (the tavern that Hemingway often goes to).

Armas Square, Governor's Palace, Chocolate Museum, Old Plaza. Dark Camera, San Francisco Square, Revolution Square, University of Havana. Revolution Square Camelo Cekvara Revolutionary Monument Hotel Revolution Square Hotel National Hotel stands another towering castle - Molo Castle on the cliff at the entrance to the port of Havana.

The castle was built in 1579 and later built a lighthouse in 1844, becoming a guiding light on the Caribbean Sea.

After coming out of Havana and heading towards Varadero, Xiao Cai said that he would eat some fresh crocodile meat today! If he is lucky, he can also eat turtles, North American giant rats and other foods. However, Yunluo and Anchu were unlucky and did not eat them. The crocodile meat that can be eaten in China is only the crocodile meat has a rough skin and thick flesh, not very delicious, and it tastes a bit similar to chicken.

There is a place not far away to feed the fish and then arrive in Varadero. The sea here is slightly better than Cancun. First, Yun Luo will introduce Chekvara: In fact, Yun Luo and An Chuyu are not unfamiliar with him.

Guevara participated in Castro's leadership in 1959 and overthrew the pro-American dictatorship of Batista. After the new Cuban government held some important positions, Guevara left Cuba in 1965 and continued to launch a communist revolution in other countries. First, Congo and then Bolivia.

In Bolivia, he was arrested during a military operation planned by the US CIA. In October 1967, Yunluo and An Chu met with Varadero for more than three hours to drive from Varadero to Santa Clara. After a short 10-minute stop, he felt the scenery along the way.

Isnaga was the founder of the strong family and eventually settled in Trinidad. His descendants fought for Cuba's independence and were annexed by the United States from 1820 to 1900. This was one of the best preserved cities in the Caribbean. At that time, sugar trade was the main economic pillar of the region. Sugar factory. Legend has it that the two brothers were comparing who was taller, and one brother's tower arrived.

The winning tower has been held to this day. On the 22nd day, the back garden of the United States, Nassau, Nassau, arrived in Nassau, Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. It is located on the north shore of New Providence Island.

It is only 290 kilometers away from Miami City, the United States. Nassau was a British settlement in the 1730s. It developed into a larger town in 1660. It was called "Charlestown" at that time. It was named after Prince of England in 1690. It was officially established in 1729 and remains the name of "Nassau". In fact, Nassau is not at all sexy.

It is a very beautiful place, and many cruise ships stop here. The small Governor's Mansion is 100,800 miles apart from the head of state's residence. The entire island belongs to Atlantis. This famous hotel is located on this island. It feels very pleasant to travel through the shark pond while swimming. There is also the aquarium in Atlantis.

I felt another world. It was finally time to dive. The diving ears hurt, and it was not bad. Hehe the next morning, Yun Luo got up early. Before the young man got up, he put on his camera and went out for a walk to find beautiful scenery. This town is surrounded by mountains and is a typical mountain town. The mountains here are really colorful.

Compared to the plateau mountain city Mada Mountain where Yunluo lived in Nanyang in his childhood, it has a different flavor. Moreover, the town is purely a tourist town, with no factory pollution, unique shapes and beautiful colors. It is a place for people to settle down in the mortal world and have a dream.

Go to Johnston Canyon to enjoy the scenery. Take the cable car up the mountain, then climb the high place along the sightseeing wooden plank road, but you can see the magnificent scenery of thousands of peaks and valleys; the bow river flows silently, winding around the town of Banfu. Yunshan Qinghu is also charming on this day on August 7th, and the attractions you will visit are frequent.

After leaving Johnston Canyon and heading to the main viewing target, you will first arrive at Johnston Canyon to see the scenic spot, and then go to see a small plate of Double Jack Lake 11 kilometers away from Banfu Town. As the lakeside near the roadside, you will feel the water is misty and the atmosphere is quiet. The misty distant mountain in the south of the lakeside background is the misty mountain in the south.

The clouds block the smoke lock, and the pipa was half-covered. It was impossible to see its true face for a while. I didn't want to spend more time on the small lake, but in order to look at it and take pictures of the beauty of the mountain, I could only wait patiently. In the fresh air in the morning, I wandered around the lakeside while vomiting the old and accepting the new, which made me feel happy.
Chapter completed!
