Hundreds of stone cones ranging in height from tens of meters to more than 100 meters are closely arranged, gathered together as if to take a group photo. People are amazed by this spectacular sight of God's work and vividly call it "fairy chimney". The chimneys are formed by the unique local rock formation, with a thin and hard layer of basalt on the surface.

The white soft tuff below is protected from erosion by wind and rain, and has formed its current shape over time. The rock cone is weathered from top to bottom, but it looks like a stone forest piercing the sky. Goreme Open-Air Museum (goremeopen-airmuseum), if you come to Cappadocia for tourism, you can only visit one attraction.

That must be the Goreme Open Air Museum. It is a world cultural heritage site in Turkey. It is a complex of buildings built on the basis of natural landforms, including cave churches, chapels and monasteries. Located in a steep valley, the open air museum condenses the nature, history and humanities of Cappadocia, and brings together more than 30 cave churches of different sizes and characteristics.

These churches were originally built by Christians who migrated to Cappadocia to escape political persecution. In order to hide their identities, they hollowed out the mountains to build churches, and the interiors were painted with colorful murals, which were extremely beautiful. The more famous churches include the Apple Church (Elmali) Church and the St. Barbara Chapel.

Snake Church (yilanli) Church, Dark Church (karanlikkilise), Buckle Church (tokali) Church, Elnaz Church, Carikli Church (sandals) Church, Saklic Church, etc. I want to take in all these views.

It takes about two hours. [Start of the trip] I got up at 3:30 in the morning. At 4 o'clock, the hot air balloon car was waiting for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo at the door. The hot air balloon that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo ordered was the kingflight of the royalballoon company. When we arrived at the hot air balloon company, we had breakfast first.

Breakfast was a buffet with a wide variety of options. After breakfast, everyone was looking forward to the hot air balloon trip and walked outside to wait for departure! The hot air balloon cars lined up to wait for departure. Unfortunately, after waiting for about half an hour, the staff called everyone together.

After hearing his first word, unfortunately, Yunluo knew that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's hot air balloon trip would be a pity. The reason for the cancellation of the hot air balloon was the weather. It looked good, but the wind was strong, which affected the safety of the hot air balloon flight.

This is a very regrettable thing, but when Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo returned to the hotel, the Chinese tourists in the same car told them about their experience. They came here three days ago, but due to weather reasons, the hot air balloon rides on the first two days were cancelled. They modified their itinerary to take the hot air balloon ride. They waited here, and on the third day, which was yesterday, they finally got to fly.

However, there were too many tourists waiting in the past two days, and they had to satisfy the tourists who had booked that day first, so they didn't get their turn. Today, the trip was cancelled again due to weather problems. It was really frustrating! Listening to their experience, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo suddenly felt that they were much better than them. Moreover, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had taken a hot air balloon ride in the Gold Coast of Australia.

So I didn't have such high expectations for the hot air balloon. Although I didn't take the ride this time, I saved 500 euros (4200 RMB, June 2014 price), and this regret also indicated that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo would come to Turkey again. Hot air balloon tips: Hot air balloons are highly dependent on the weather.

And it is difficult to predict the weather in advance. So if you must take a hot air balloon, please arrange more time in Cappadocia, or make a backup plan. Some people may only visit some places once in their lifetime, but for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, this trip to Turkey was not worth it due to holidays, language and weather.

So Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo thought they would come again in the future. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went back to the hotel to catch up on some sleep, woke up at 8 o'clock and had a hotel breakfast (it would be a waste if they didn't eat it), and then waited in the hotel for the red line tour group to accept Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had a great time on the green line the day before, and they hoped that the red line today would also be with the same company.

But when the bus arrived, Nalanshiqi and Yunluo saw that the red line was from another travel agency, and that the group they were traveling with were 4 Americans, 3 Indians, 1 Japanese, and 2 other Chinese. Nalanshiqi and Yunluo's first stop was still the first stop of the green line yesterday, the entire territory of Goreme.

This time Yunluo looked at the land from another angle. Next, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo came to Pashabe, where there are the most beautiful and lovely fairy chimneys in the entire Cappadocia region. There is a small mountain here, which can be climbed from the side, so that you can see the fairy chimneys from a higher place.

The surrounding landforms are spectacular. Various strange rocks. It seems to be raining over there. Fairy chimneys. This is the viewing hill, you must come up to see it. Fairy chimneys of various shapes. In addition to these fairy chimneys, there are many large caves here. However, because of the group, the time on the mountain was relatively long at the beginning.

So in the end, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo didn't have enough time to see everything. If they came by themselves, they could stay here for a little longer. They saw a big dandelion, it was really big! Then Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo came to the Davlant Canyon. Look, there is a camel there.

Devrant Canyon has the best-shaped volcanic cones and is also the most densely populated volcanic cone attraction in Cappadocia. Admiring these volcanic cones is like a child looking at clouds. There are seals, dolphins, Napoleon's hat, kissing birds, the Virgin Mary and various reptiles. If you have more time, you can go up and see it yourself.

Most of the tops of volcanic cones are made of dark hard rocks, which protect the cones from weathering, while the lower part will fall apart first, a process called differential erosion. At noon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived in Avanos, a small town with many pottery shops.

Since Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were in a tour group, they usually got off the bus and walked to a pottery shop, then got on the bus and left. However, if you come here by yourself, you can walk around this small town. On both sides of the alley are gradually dilapidated Greek-style houses. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo came to a pottery shop, and the clerk showed Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo how to sit on pottery.

It is said that the 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 tourist attractions, you know, let you shop, so the price is not cheap, just look at it. Yunluo saw in the book that there is a store called Chezgalip in this town, which has a hair museum.

The collection of 16,000 samples of female hair is very strange, but Nalanshiqi and Yunluo will not be able to visit this store. After lunch, Nalanshiqi and Yunluo came to the most important attraction of the day - Goreme Open Air Museum, which is also the most famous museum in the entire Cappadocia region. It is a must-see attraction here and 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, where about 20 monks lived. Since the 17th century, it has become a pilgrimage site. The entire complex of cave churches, chapels and monasteries is located on a mountain 1 km away from Goreme.

Another unfortunate thing to mention here is that it rained heavily when Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were visiting this most important scenic spot. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo did not bring an umbrella, so they had to hide from the rain in the cave for a long time. They left without visiting many places, which was very regrettable.

But compared to the cancellation of the hot air balloon, this is nothing, because Nalanshiqi and Yunluo thought that they would definitely come again in the future. Visiting Tips: This is a must-see attraction in Karadosia. Please plan at least 2 hours to visit. Below Yunluo lists what Nalanshiqi and Yunluo saw.

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

As soon as you enter the door, you will see the nunsconvert, which is also the most famous building in this museum. Next, you should visit St. Basil's Chapel and Apple Church in order. St. Basil's Chapel commemorates one of the most important saints in Cappadocia. On the left side of the main hall hangs a portrait of St. Basil and on the right side hangs a Maltese cross.

Next to them, St. George and St. Theodore are beheading a dragon symbolizing pagans. There are frescoes of biblical stories in the Apple Church, which are very well preserved. However, when Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived, it was the peak of the afternoon group, so the tour guide took Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo forward to visit other buildings.

But we didn't go to these two places because it rained heavily later. I'll save it for next time. This is the Dark Church. If you want to enter, you need to pay another 10 lira (30 RMB) for the ticket. The Dark Church is small, but there are beautiful frescoes all over the church. It's worth spending time to visit. You need to pay extra to visit because it supports the huge cost of restoring the church.

At the same time, it is also to reduce the number of tourists and better protect the frescoes. The Dark Church is one of the best-preserved churches in Turkey. It was named the Dark Church because it originally had very few windows. You are not allowed to take pictures inside the Dark Church. When we came out of this church, it started to rain. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo hurriedly walked through other caves, constantly taking shelter from the rain. (To be continued...)
