This land is said to be the closest place to the moon on earth; second, the dreamy hot air balloon trip; third, staying in a cave hotel, which is a room built by chiseling natural rocks. The cave hotel is very cool in summer and does not need air conditioning at all. The hotel structure is also carefully designed, with a special small door, and a small courtyard inside.
There are bright flowers planted behind the rooms. The head of the bed in the room is also carved out. Small unique items are placed on it. When we arrived at the town of Goreme, the town was in a vast wilderness like the surface of the moon. The hotel that Nalan Shiqi and Yun Luo decided to stay in was called Goreme Home (Gerome Home), and the owner was very welcoming.
Because I saw a bad review of his place by a Chinese on the booking website, I was a little worried at the time, but later I found that the owner was very enthusiastic and thoughtful, and my previous worries were completely unnecessary. As soon as Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo settled in, the handsome guy at the front desk showed Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo with a map and told them that the red line must be taken because it is close and has good scenery.
The green line is also quite common, but you need to join a group or rent a car. He said Yunluo can give you a surprise price of 100 liras per person. Yunluo asked friends who have been there before and they said it was 120 liras. It was really a surprise. And the time is very suitable. After the hot air balloon ride, you can go to the green line.
Then we happily decided to book it. He also wanted to recommend the hot air balloon, but Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had already booked it in China. Yunluo's itinerary guide was not made in vain. Eloping to the magical landforms of the moon, the red line, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo chose to hike by themselves. The so-called red line is a circle of attractions near the town center, mainly including the open-air museum, Rose Valley, Lover's Valley, etc.
The main purpose is to appreciate the numerous cave ruins and the unique landforms of the Kapa area, and it is best to watch the sunset. The hotel owner told Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo could walk to the open-air museum, which is about 3 kilometers, and there are 3 or 4 kilometers between each attraction.
At the beginning, everyone was excited to see everything and started taking photos. Yunluo walked in front, and the three of them followed behind. At this time, two men on motorcycles shouted to Yunluo, "~loveyou~". As expected, Turkish men are very enthusiastic about Asian women. Yunluo felt it on the first day he came and smiled at them to show his courtesy.
The open-air museum is built in various rocky mountains. It is said that it was first built by Christians who were hiding from the persecution of the Roman Empire nearly 2,000 years ago, and it lasted for a thousand years. Various caves are scattered all over the rock peaks. There are churches, bedrooms, kitchens, and even cemeteries. It is really unbearable to play in open-air attractions on such a hot day.
Although the cave is a good place to escape the heat under the scorching sun, I forgive Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo for not having Christian faith. Although they are moved by the long history and the changes in people and things, they do not have the same reverent and nostalgic mood as many Western tourists. The tour guides who led the tour explained in various languages, but I just couldn't understand any of them.
A little regretful. After a quick tour, I was quite disappointed. The two girls didn't sleep well on the plane. With even less energy, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo both had an urge to go back to sleep. But when they saw the strange and majestic landforms on the roadside postcards, they were reluctant to leave.
At this time, a Turkish taxi driver came up and chatted with Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, telling them the route they were going to take. Of course, it would be best if they took his car. He could take Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo around for 20 lira per person (1 lira = 2.91 RMB). This price was within the acceptable range for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.
We decided to go to the most famous Lover's Valley and Rose Valley. Lover's Valley is a mushroom-shaped rock group formed by wind erosion, which is very unique, but the sunlight was too strong at that time, so there was no light and shadow effect. Yunluo lacked a telephoto lens, so he didn't take a good picture (forgive Yunluo for always finding excuses for his bad photos).
Rose Valley is a great place to watch the sunset, and many promotional photos were taken here. But Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived in the afternoon, and it was still a long time to wait for the sunset. They took a few photos in a hurry and went back to the hotel to recuperate. The time difference in Turkey is five hours later than that in China. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were sleepy at five o'clock in the afternoon.
After struggling between being hungry and tired for several times, they finally found a small restaurant in the town and ordered a few special dishes, which tasted pretty good. The boss said that he could use Yunluo's camera to take photos of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. This lovely uncle seemed to be a perfectionist. He was always dissatisfied with the photos he took, constantly looking for angles and lighting, and finally gave them back to Yunluo when he was satisfied.
He looked so funny. He told Yunluo that Goreme had more and more Chinese friends and he liked Chinese friends. After dinner, they found that there were many people standing on the top of the mountain of the hotel. It turned out that everyone was watching the sunset. The warm afterglow illuminated the valley into gold, and the summer heat disappeared. Although they were very tired, the desire to take big pictures still attracted Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to climb up.
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were groping towards the top of the mountain by feeling. At this time, an uncle passing by asked Yunluo where he was going. Yunluo thought he was asking where he was from, so he told him China. He said that Yunluo knew that he was from China, and he should go to the top of the mountain to take pictures. He had to go up from this side, and he would reach the top of the mountain in five minutes. He had to be quick, otherwise he would be too late.
The Turkish uncle was really enthusiastic! (Okay, Yunluo’s hearing was too bad, and there were embarrassing things that happened later when Yunluo didn’t understand what he said.) Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo reached the top of the mountain, and there was only a little bit of sun left. The sunset gradually fell, and the forest-like rock peaks left long shadows on the ground. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo adjusted the aperture and shutter speed, and after taking a few photos, the sun went down.
But I have already seen such a beautiful sunset, what regrets can I have? When going down the mountain, a foreign tourist enthusiastically said to Yunluo in Chinese, "How are you?" Yes, it was Chinese. Yunluo was stunned for a moment before saying, "Okay." This is abroad, Yunluo's language channel is not tuned, Yunluo even forgot how to respond in Chinese, embarrassing.
Show all | Reply to travel expert Shasha Loves Travel Follow Shasha Loves Travel Posted on 2014-08-16 10:17 Elope to the Moon + Elope to the Moon (Day 3) Goreme Elope to the Moon The hottest activity in Cappadocia is still hot air balloons. When the first rays of sunlight in the morning spread over the valley, many fantastic rocks are shining in the golden light.
Casting a long shadow. The colorful hot air balloons slowly rise with you, filling the sky. This magical landscape can only be truly appreciated in the air. In addition to the more than 1,100 RMB in silver, you have to get up early. You have to get up at 3:30, and the hot air balloon company will pick you up at the hotel entrance at 4 o'clock.
Then we registered, divided into groups, and explained the precautions. Breakfast was provided. About half an hour later, after enjoying the simple breakfast provided by the hot air balloon company, the driver signaled Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to get on the car and headed for the take-off point. A very small Japanese girl was responsible for leading Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.
Before Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived, the hot air balloon company had already started preparations for takeoff, unfolding the huge balloon and lighting the fire. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were waiting outside. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were the first to fly. As Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's balloon slowly rose, the sun had just passed over the distant ridge.
In the hillsides and valleys, hundreds of hot air balloons faced the rising sun, gradually filling up with hot air and standing up like giant mushrooms that had just emerged from the ground. The warm light sprinkled on the colorful balloons, making them colorful and bizarre. In the sky, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo also saw a few balloons with advertisements for Huaguo Travel Agency.
As expected, there are more and more Chinese people here. The hot air balloon basket is divided into four small baskets, each with five people. Normally, there are 20 people in a group. In the middle is the coach who controls the firepower and direction. The people in the same basket with Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are a group of sunset tour group from Taipei.
They were very curious about Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, and kept asking them if they had been to Beijing and what they thought of Beijing. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had never been to Beijing, so they could only say that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo wanted to go there and liked the pineapple cakes in Beijing. They excitedly told Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.
There are not only pineapple cakes in Beijing, but also this and that delicious food. Yunluo suddenly remembered that "你造吗" seems to come from Taiwanese. So he asked the uncles to teach Yunluo how to say it. As a result, the uncle said "you are so beautiful". He also told Sedge that you should say it to your wife often. Yunluo was stunned. This is not the way to play. Everyone should play by common sense.
The hot air balloon carried Nalanshiqi and Yunluo through the valley, and then slowly rose into the air. The blue sky was rimmed with gold by the morning glow, and the desert of Cappadocia was in full view. The rock peaks that were difficult to climb yesterday were already under the feet of Nalanshiqi and Yunluo, and the crisscrossing canyons and gullies were like the veins of leaves. Winding into the distance, the Camel Rock and snow-capped mountains in the distance were clearly visible.
Many hot air balloons were rising up and down around you at the same time. Everyone was intoxicated by the morning light, as if they were part of the beautiful scenery. After getting off the hot air balloon, there was a simple celebration. Champagne was opened. Everyone got to know each other and took pictures while drinking cherry red wine. Later, Yunluo told the Japanese leader mm.
Yunluo worked at Toshiba, so she was very excited and kept taking photos for Yunluo. In the end, everyone got a launch certificate with their own name. Unfortunately, Yunluo's name was written wrong, 5555. When the team leader found out, he immediately apologized and asked Yunluo to write the correct one for her, promising to correct it and send it to the hotel immediately.
In half an hour, the front desk called and said someone was looking for Yunluo. It turned out that they were here to give Yunluo a certificate, with a bow tied on it. Nalan Seqi and Yunluo signed up for the green line at the hotel. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the bus went directly to the hotel entrance to pick up Nalan Seqi and Yunluo.
There were 14 tourists in the same car, including a couple from Jordan, a mother and daughter from Kazakhstan, two Iranian girls, four people from Turkey who came to Goreme for vacation, and the remaining four people were Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo from China. The Green Line is really far.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The tour guide was afraid that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo would be bored, so he kept telling them the history and legends of Cappadocia, the formation principles of topography, and the various scenery along the way. It was very professional and humorous, but Yunluo found it difficult to listen and fell asleep. When he woke up, Pacao told Yunluo that the tour guide had just taught him a word.
It can form a beautiful scenery, of course, it is also used to describe the hot girl around you, and you should often tell your wife. Well, what is the situation! The first attraction of Nalan Seqi and Yunluo is very similar to an open-air museum, and it is also the remains of the caves where the original Christians hid. The caves are stacked layer by layer, and there are watchtowers, just like a three-dimensional castle.
The road was even steeper, and there was no room for shoes. We could only climb by stepping on the rocks beside us. The Jordanian couple was older, so they didn't go up. There were many pigeon nests on the cliffs. The guide clapped his hands, and the pigeons flew around the cave. Then Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo took a car to a valley.
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo need to go down to the bottom of the valley and follow the gurgling river to the lunch location. I have read other people's travel notes before, saying that this place is still far behind the mountains and rivers in China. But compared to the scorching sun outside, it is still relatively cool, and it is a place for locals to escape the summer heat and relax.
On the way, I saw a family with a baby. They were so cute that I couldn't help but take a photo of them. We had to cross this canyon to have lunch. Yunluo couldn't walk anymore. The enthusiastic tour guide came over to chat with Yunluo and asked Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, "Are you a couple?" Yunluo said, "Yes." Then he said, "..."
Yunluo thought he was asking how long they had been married. Yunluo said two months. Then he looked surprised, pointed at his eyes and said, "What? You married him two months after you met him? Why didn't you come to Turkey two months ago?" Well, Yunluo misheard again. Sedge said he was asking how long Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had known each other.
Yunluo told him that it had been six years, and he calmed down. The lunch table was in a roadside pavilion, and some were even built on the river, which was very comfortable. The next stop was the underground city, the highlight of the green line. People who have been there said that the highlight of the green line is the underground city. But Yunluo didn't like dark places, and generally the depressing space would always make Yunluo feel uncomfortable.
It is said that the construction of the underground city began three thousand years ago and lasted for thousands of years. It was a refuge for local people when facing foreign invasions. However, as the war subsided in the following years, it was gradually forgotten by people. The underground city was rediscovered in 1963. It is said that a farmer's chicken was lost, so he mobilized the surrounding neighbors to help find the lost chicken.
The chicken was not found, but the underground city was discovered. The tour guide joked that they would see if Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo could find the lost chicken today. The underground city has more than ten floors and is more than 80 meters deep. (To be continued...)
