Pamukkale---Anya Suit Otel Actually, this hotel was a bit of a failure. I chose this place because I took the night bus and wanted to rest early, and it was convenient for me to take the bus the next day. It was not because the environment was bad, but because I didn't plan well. Because the hotel is in Denizli, it is 25 kilometers away from Pamukkale, because I have to go to Bodrum the next day.

I thought there was no direct bus from Pamukkale, so I wanted to go back to Denizli after playing in Pamukkale so that it would be more convenient to take the bus the next day. Who knew there was a bus from Pamukkale to Bodrum, but you still have to transfer to Bodrum after getting on the bus in Pamukkale, which was arranged by them. The hotel is next to Denizli Station.

Advantages: Cheap price and Pamukkale --- Anya Suit Otel Actually, this hotel choice was a bit of a failure.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo walked back and came to Topkapi Palace. There were a lot of people here, and there were many tour groups. It is the most famous attraction in the old city of Istanbul. The ticket for the palace is 25 lira (75 RMB). The harem is 15 lira (45 RMB). You need to go through security check to enter. After entering, you can rent an audio guide on the right.

This is the only attraction in Turkey that has a Chinese audio guide. It's not easy, you have to listen carefully. I also hope that as more and more Chinese people travel to Turkey, more attractions will support Chinese audio guides. Tips: Topkapi Palace is currently the only attraction in Turkey that has a Chinese guide, don't miss it!

It costs 15 liras (45 RMB) to rent a voice guide, and you need to put your passport on the table. This is the Gate of Happiness, the entrance to the Third Courtyard (Inner Palace). The boundary of the Outer Palace. The Third Courtyard is mainly the private and residential area of ​​the palace. This is the Bosphorus Strait seen from the palace, and Asia across the way.

Just stand here and look at Asia from Europe. There is also a restaurant in the palace with a great view, but it is very crowded. You have to queue up. Since Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo spent a lot of time in the morning to solve the problem of mobile phone cards, they did not plan to wait for a table here. This side is Europe, and the other side is Asia.

After a short break, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo continued to visit the Topkapi Palace and walked to the innermost fourth courtyard. This is the Circumcision Hall, which is built with rare recycled bricks inside and outside. The main colors on the outside are blue and with flower patterns. Some of the blue and white bricks are influenced by Far Eastern pottery.

The Circumcision Hall is a relatively symmetrical and large hall in Topkapi Palace. Each window corresponds to a small spring. Above the windows are some colored glass plates. Blue patterned tiles. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo returned to the third courtyard. The treasury room was lined up here. The treasury room is a place for collecting handicrafts, jewelry, heirlooms and money.

The treasures are displayed in four connected rooms. The first room houses an armor of Mustafa III, which is an iron mail inlaid with gold and silver jewels, as well as his gilded sword, gilded stirrups and shield. The second room stores a short sword with a hilt decorated with three large emeralds and a scabbard made of enamel and diamonds.

In the third room, the most dazzling gem is a pear-shaped diamond, set in silver and surrounded by two rows of forty-nine diamonds. It is said that the diamond was bought at the market by a vizier who thought it was a worthless crystal.[109] There are two large gold candlesticks, each weighing 48 kilograms and set with 6,666 diamonds.

This was a gift from Sultan Abdulmecid I to the holy city of Mecca, the Kaaba. Soon after, the Ottoman Empire collapsed and lost control of Mecca, and the candlestick was sent back to Istanbul. Because the line was too long and it was very hot at noon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were also tired, so they gave up visiting this place.

This is the Imperial Council Hall, with a small window above, where the king can "rule from behind the curtain". Next, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo come to the harem. The harem is also the home of the Sultan's mother, the Queen Mother, concubines, family members and servants. The harem consists of a series of buildings connected by corridors and courtyards.

Each service team and each class living in the harem divides their living space around a courtyard. This is the entrance. This is a dome hall in the harem, built in the late 16th century, with the largest dome in the palace. After spending about 3 hours touring the Topkapi Palace, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo walked back to the square next to the Hagia Sophia.

There is a sign here that marks the distance from various major cities to here. It is 7063 kilometers away from Beijing. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo found a roadside restaurant to eat. When they arrived in Turkey, of course they had to eat barbecue! Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo found a restaurant that looked popular and ordered lamb and chicken, with sour pickled peppers and tomatoes. It tasted great!

After filling their stomachs and having the energy to go shopping, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo headed to Hagia Sophia. As mentioned earlier, Hagia Sophia is a religious building located in Istanbul, Turkey. It has a long history of nearly 1,500 years and is famous for its huge dome. There was a long queue at the entrance, but if you have a museum pass.

No need to queue up to buy tickets, just check in directly, and you will feel relaxed immediately. There is an audio guide, but no Chinese version, which is good. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo have a lonely planet. Tips: If you have a museum pass, you can walk in fast at the entrance of Hagia Sophia without queuing.

The entrance to the Hagia Sophia. After entering, you can take a look at the roof, which has very delicate patterns. When you come inside, you will be shocked, even though part of the church is under repair. The chandeliers in the church are very beautiful. It is a tall building, and you can visit the second floor later. There are many colored glass.

After visiting the first floor, you can take the stairs next to it to the second floor. There are very few steps upstairs, and most of them are slopes without stairs. The second floor is actually equivalent to the 5th or 6th floor, rather than the second floor. The view here is better, and you can see the interior of the entire church more clearly.

There are several famous mosaics on the second floor, one of which is called the Three Saints Mosaic. The Three Saints Mosaic was probably created in 1261, and it was used to represent the end of 57 years of Roman Catholic rule and the return to the Orthodox faith. The Three Saints Mosaic is widely regarded as the most exquisite mosaic in Hagia Sophia because of its soft faces, kind expressions and style.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The mosaic is similar in style to Italian painters of the late 13th and early 14th centuries, such as Duccio. The faces of the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Baptist are only three-quarters exposed, and they pray to the image of Christ to have mercy on humanity at the Last Judgment. The lower half of the mosaic is badly damaged, probably because it is close to a window and was washed by rain.

This mosaic is considered the beginning of the Renaissance of Byzantine pictorial art. Looking out from the second-floor window, the sky is already very clear. There are two more mosaics here. The Christ statue in the mosaic is wearing a dark blue robe (a habit of Byzantine art). He sits in the center of a golden background, blessing with his right hand while holding a Bible in his left hand.

On both sides of his head are written "ic" and "xc", which means "Jesus Christ" (iēsouskhristos). Constantine IX and Empress Zoe, wearing formal clothes, are on the left and right sides of Jesus respectively. Constantine IX presents a purse, symbolizing his dedication to the church; Empress Zoe holds a scroll, symbolizing her dedication.

The words on the head of Constantine IX read: "Constantine, God Christ the Pious Emperor, Roman Emperor, Mona Machus". The words on the head of Queen Zoe read: "Zoe, the Very Pious Oscuta". Their original heads have been shaved off, and the current three are later replaced. (To be continued...)
