Excited, happy, and excited, they squeezed in front of the camera in groups of three or five. Those bright smiles were the beauty that only children of that age could have. The children greeted Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo with limited English words, so innocent. The teachers in the school also cast their eyes on Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.

Apparently, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had affected the activities they were holding. All the children's attention was on Nalan Shiqi, Yunluo and a few other Asians, but no one stepped forward to drive them away. The only English teacher in the school told Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo that it was Turkish Children's Day.

Yes, yes, yes, Yunluo had known about this before. There will be a large celebration at their school tomorrow, and the children will dress up to attend. They are rehearsing now. The English teacher sincerely invited Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to come and watch tomorrow. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo really wanted to come, but unfortunately they had to rush to Fuqia today.

It is unlikely that we can come back to watch the show tomorrow. With full of regret, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo continued to set off for the next stop. They arrived at Foça at 15:00 in the afternoon. They chose Foça because of a sentence on lonelypla: "If you think Chandarle is a bit too quiet and Kusadasi is too noisy.

Then come to Foça. Foça embraces a pair of twin bays and a small harbor. The coastline is lined with graceful old Ottoman-Greek houses and is crowded with fishing boats. What’s more, the islands off Foça’s coast are said to be one of the few remaining homelands in the world for the endangered Mediterranean monk seal.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were looking forward to having a chance to see it. Fuqia was Yunluo's favorite place on this trip, bar none. The unbeatable sea view, the beautiful homestay, the delicious ice cream, the unparalleled sea experience, and the unprecedented Children's Day celebration the next day, which will be discussed later.

In the Yenifoca area of ​​Nova Foca, I found a very good B&B, Hotel Karacam. In fact, every one of the hotels along the coast is very attractive, and they are very fresh and clean, but the prices that can be booked on Booking are often higher. The price of Hotel Karacam is acceptable, and you can see the sea when you open the window.

The rooms are newly decorated and spacious. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo asked for the two best rooms on the third floor, one with a small balcony full of flowers and a large room with a living room and a refrigerator. It's a pity that you can only stay for one night. The hotel breakfast is good, it's a buffet, and the boiled eggs are covered with a sweater.

Super cute. The lady boss is very nice and helped Nalanshiqi, Yunluo and the boat boss to translate the charter boat trip activities. Super cheap. Next to karacam. There is an ice cream shop dondurmasi, which is known as the famous chewing gum ice cream in Crete, and many foreign tourists are queuing up to buy it.

I guess it's introduced in some travel guide. There's a board on the wall with more than 30 flavors listed. The ones with yellow dots in front mean they're available today. Oh my god! It's all in Turkish. I can't understand the names of capucino and cookies. And those two are out of stock.

Finally, I could only point to the ice creams that the tourists in front of me got and choose the most traditional flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. It seemed to be 1.5 lira per ball. It was not expensive and tasted very good. I originally planned to find a boat to go fishing early the next morning. There were several fishing boats parked in front of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo B&B. The owner of the B&B helped to ask.

He said that a company's team building had chartered a boat the next day, but he could take Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo out to sea now, 100 liras/boat. OK, deal. I thought it was just sea fishing, but the boat captain saw that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were very interested in taking pictures of seagulls, so he took Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to a distant island first.

There were flocks of seagulls and seabirds living on the island. The captain stood up and clapped his hands, and dozens of seagulls spread their wings and flew, which was a spectacular sight. The captain had sharp eyes and actually let Yunluo see a hare running on the island, which was amazing. After circling the island, the captain asked Yunluo if he wanted to see dolphins.

Yunluo thought he was joking with her, because when Yunluo was in Bohol Island in the Philippines, she always went out to sea to watch dolphins at 5 o'clock in the morning, and she also went out to sea to watch whales in Sri Lanka early in the morning. Unexpectedly, the dolphins he let Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo see were really a group of them, leaping towards them from far to near, which was so exciting.

The highlight of the sea trip is naturally sea fishing. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had no experience in sea fishing before. The captain of the boat gave each of them a thin line and hung some bait on the hook. After the fishing line sank to the bottom of the sea, it only took a method similar to hanging a thread to diagnose the pulse to determine whether the fish had taken the bait.

Soon, Nalanshiqi and Yunluo each had a catch. Although the fish was small, they still felt extremely satisfied. The small fish that was caught was thrown back into the sea after taking a photo with Nalanshiqi and Yunluo. Foca-Canakkale When Foca opened the window in the morning, the Aegean Sea mixed with a hint of sea smell hit us in the face.

The seagulls were busy fishing to fill their stomachs, and there were only a few foreigners jogging on the road. After breakfast, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo climbed up the hillside on the other side of the main road, where there was a windmill-shaped monument with a bunker from the previous fortifications. From here, you can overlook the entire New Foqia and the harbor, and you can see that the protruding peninsula should be a military zone.

There were several warships parked at the port. Through the telephoto lens, I saw that a stadium in the town was being set up in a hurry. From time to time, music and broadcasts could be heard. I guessed that the Children's Day celebration in the town must be held here. I hurried down the mountain and got a seat at 10 o'clock, occupying a good seat.

Judging from the staff's attire and the trophy placed in the middle of the venue, there should be a sports meeting here. I heard that all schools are closed today, and parents don't seem to have to go to work. Folks from the town came with their children one after another, and soon the stands were full. Those who came later could only sit on the railings or on the ground.

Some even climbed on trees. The Asian faces of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo attracted everyone's attention again. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo liked those doll-faced children very much. They took pictures without any fun, and they were all very generous and happy to smile in front of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's camera.

I distributed all the small gifts and candies left in my bag to the children. The opening ceremony of the sports meeting did not officially begin until 11 o'clock. The guests attending the celebration turned out to be the local congressman and the head of the garrison navy. Accompanied by the Minister of Education, they reviewed the children's team and shouted slogans every few steps.

Then the children would respond with loud and uniform slogans, such as "Comrades, you have worked hard! Serve the people!" When the Turkish national anthem was played, the whole stadium was filled with loud singing. Not only the children sang seriously, but also the adults in the audience sang from the bottom of their hearts.

The red crescent-star flag was waved everywhere, which really impressed people that patriotism education has been deeply rooted in their hearts. Time was running out. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had to go back to check out at 12 o'clock, and they had to rush to Canakkale in the afternoon. They had no more time to stay, so they could only leave with regret after watching the athletes' entrance ceremony.

The highlight of the afternoon is the ruins of Troy. Tickets are 20 liras. Parking is free (The ruins of Troy are an ancient Turkish city located in the south of Çanakkale, facing the Dardanelles to the north, and at the foot of the gentle Castle Hill. The mountains here are green, the water is gurgling, the mountains are full of citrus trees and olive trees, and the farmhouses with red tiles and white walls are dotted in between.

It is a typical rural scenery in the Aegean region of Turkey. Troy was built by the ancient Greeks around the 16th century BC. It was quite prosperous from the 13th to 12th century BC. The excavation of the ruins of Troy began in the mid-19th century and continued until the 1930s.

Archaeologists have discovered the remains of Troy from 3000 BC to 400 AD in 9 periods in the stratum 30 meters deep, as well as the ruins of the Temple of Athena, the meeting hall, the market and the theater from the Roman Empire in 400 AD. Although these buildings have collapsed.

But judging from the remaining walls and stone pillars, it was quite majestic. There was a castle dating from 2600 to 2300 BC, with a diameter of more than 120 meters. There were palaces and other buildings in the city. In a royal treasury, many gold, silver, jewelry and bronze wares were found, and the pottery was mainly red and brown.

In addition, stone tools, bone tools, pottery spinning wheels, etc. were unearthed. Troy is the site of a burned city. Its stone wall is 5 meters high. There are a large number of simple-shaped painted pottery with geometric patterns and other daily utensils. ) On the way to Troy, I saw a car accident on the roadside, and it seemed that someone was injured.

The stretcher has arrived. Hopefully, nothing serious will happen. Troy is well known to the world because it is the site of the "Trojan Horse" in Greek mythology. In the myth, the Trojans robbed the Greek beauty Helen, which led to a conflict with the Greeks, and a 10-year war broke out between the two.

At the end of the Trojan War, the Greeks came up with a plan: they built a large wooden horse, pretending to dedicate it to the goddess Athena worshipped by the Trojans, and abandoned the horse outside the city. At the same time, the Greeks pretended to leave by boat. The Trojans accepted the wooden horse and dragged it into the city of Troy.

Unexpectedly, there were Greek elite troops hiding in the Trojan Horse. At night, the Greek warriors came out of the Trojan Horse and joined forces with the Greek army that landed quietly to capture Troy in one fell swoop. Later generations called this legendary story "The Trojan Horse". The hotel in Canakkale was booked in advance on booking.com.

Akarpension is a newly renovated economy hotel, very clean and tidy. It is located in a residential area. I didn't choose this hotel because I had a car. Later, I didn't drive because parking in the city center was inconvenient. In fact, it's only about 15 minutes' walk from the pier square. The hotel is jointly opened by two brothers. The people are very nice and can provide various information and help. The breakfast is buffet style. There are not many guests, only Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are eating.

The main reason for going to the square in the evening is to see the giant Trojan horse, which is a real prop in the movie "Troy". In 2004, after the broadcast of "Troy" starring Brad Pitt, this novel-shaped wooden horse remained in Turkey, and Çanakkale has since gained another tourist attraction.

Canakkale is still very lively at night. There are many restaurants near the pier and square, and most of them are full. Canakkale-Istanbul Canakkale

Eceabat-Galatian Bridge-Yeni Mosque. I asked the hotel front desk to help check the ferry time and arrived at the dock at 8:30. The ferry to Eceabat on the other side of the Sea of ​​Marmara costs 29 liras for cars and passengers. The fee is collected when entering the dock. After entering, there will be staff to direct the cars to line up. Different routes have different queues.

The 99th anniversary of the victory of the "Battle of Gallipoli" was celebrated in Canakkale. Many military vehicles with stars were seen on the dock. (The Battle of Gallipoli (English: Battle of Gallipoli), also known as the Dardanelles Campaign.

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

The Gallipoli Campaign was a campaign fought in the Gallipoli Peninsula of Turkey during World War I. It began as a naval operation by a British-French alliance to force the Dardanelles and capture Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire. In Turkey, the campaign is known as the Battle of Çanakkale (Turkish: ?anakkalesava?lari).

In this landing battle, 500,000 Allied soldiers crossed the ocean to the Gallipoli Peninsula. After nearly eleven months of fighting, about 131,000 were killed and 262,000 were injured.) The ferry between Çanakkale and Eceabat is basically full. Most tourists choose to stand on the deck.

Locals usually prepare some bread to feed the seagulls. Hundreds of seagulls circled around the ferry and followed the route of the ferry from beginning to end. When they were tired, they rested on the sea for a while before continuing to fly. Just for that piece of bread. They were really persistent. Arriving in Eceabat was actually arriving in Europe.

In order to return the car to the airport before 14:00 in the afternoon, I just rushed all the way. I didn't deliberately arrange the attractions. I just saw two lakes on the navigation and stopped for a while. I used the car for a full 11 days. I was still struggling whether to wash it before returning it to the airport. I didn't expect it to rain heavily afterwards. OK. Save money.

I was successfully connected with the rental company at the domestic departure point. There were a lot of vehicles coming and going there. I couldn't stay for a long time, so I didn't inspect the car carefully and completed the return procedure. I asked if there was an electronic ticket, and if so, the payment would be deducted from the credit card within one month at the latest. I dragged my luggage to take the subway.

We took the escalator down to the underground floor and saw the M sign, which was the subway. Photographer Chen brought his own transportation card, and Yunluo bought a ticket at the ticket vending machine. A staff member saw that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were foreigners, so he came over to help. After knowing Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's destination, he took Yunluo's banknotes and went to the counter to get subway tickets for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.

According to the subway map, you need to take the metro for 6 stops and transfer to the tram at Zeytinburnu Station. Get off at Gulhane Station after 17 stops and walk to the hotel that Yunluo booked. Each trip costs 3 liras per person. The staff gave Yunluo 6 round signs in total, one for entering the station and another for transferring.

I was also given a local subway brochure with a detailed route map. I have been looking for a hotel in the center of Istanbul for a long time. The room rates are generally expensive and the rooms are small. I feel like I am catching up. I just want to have convenient transportation and walk to the attractions. yeni?erihouse.

2 bedrooms and 1 living room apartment (4 people), 95 euros/day (breakfast not included), good location, in Istanbul's Sultanahmet, very close to the pier and Hagia Sophia, 5-10 minutes walk. It took a lot of effort to find the hotel on the day, and it happened to be a rainy day, so I had to go up and down the ramp several times and was sweating.

This is a very narrow building. Downstairs is a barbecue restaurant. It is very delicious and not too expensive. The room is really small. There is even a living room. However, it is still a good value for money to live in the center of Istanbul. After putting away the luggage, I found that the rain had stopped, so I walked to the nearby Galata Bridge.

The Galata Bridge connects Istanbul's old and new cities. On clear days, people standing on the bridge can overlook the vast water, which makes their minds suddenly open. In the early morning or evening every day, the fog on the water spreads, and the Emines around the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus are shrouded in it, like a fairyland on earth.

The Galata Bridge across the Golden Horn is a major transportation route to the city. The bus terminal and many ferry stations are also located near the bridge, so the bridge is often crowded with people. To the surprise of tourists, there are many people fishing on the bridge. From morning to night, the bridge is always full of people, all of them are men of all ages.

There are several small boats moored under the Galata Bridge. The freshly grilled fish sandwiches sold on the boats are made of fish. ) When I was strolling on the Galata Bridge, I met tourists from China for the first time. I also heard the local accent from China. I finally realized that I had come to the most prosperous and famous city in Turkey.

In the evening, I had dinner at the fish market on the other side of the bridge. There were fresh grilled fish and fried squid. Although the variety was not as rich as that in Southeast Asia, the taste was good. Back to the Emineni district, I went to the Yeni Mosque (the Yeni Mosque is located at the south end of the Galata Bridge and is the most prominent building in the Emineni district and the Golden Horn.
