When friends heard that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were going to Turkey, they immediately said that they should go and see belly dancing. Yesterday morning, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi told Zhou Xiken that they wanted to watch spinning and belly dancing. He felt a little confused about belly dancing and told Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi that.

There is xxxx folk dance (I forgot the name). It seems that the translation in China is different from theirs. The birthplace of the whirling dance is in the Mevlana Museum in Konya. Yunluo and Naranseqi have to pass through Konya, but the place of visit has been changed to Sultan Hamegu Inn. Therefore, the whirling dance is best watched in Cappadocia.

Otherwise, there won't be enough time later. When booking seats yesterday morning, I reminded Zhou Xiken that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi booked their tickets early, so the theater would reserve seats near the front for them.

The dancers will keep spinning to the music. They will raise their right hand with the palm facing up (representing the acceptance of the instructions from the gods) and their left hand with the palm facing down (representing the communication to the people).

It is said that belly dance originated from Egypt and Turkey, and was originally a religious ritual that narrated the endless cycle of nature and human reproduction, celebrated women's childbirth, and sang the secret of life.

This explains why belly dancing is mainly based on waist swinging. And it requires bare feet, which is to maintain the connection with the land. This dance form gradually developed into a folk art and eventually became a unique form of entertainment and performance popular in countries in the Middle East.

At first, Yunluo thought the actress was too fat, but later her performance was really admirable. With the ever-changing fast-paced music, she kept swinging her abdomen and hips, dancing gracefully and in various ways, sometimes elegant, sometimes sensual, showing her unique skills of twisting her waist and dancing her abdomen.

During the performance, they also used Turkish sabers as props to perform difficult performances. Taking pictures does not capture the beautiful dancing postures.

Launching a hot air balloon is a big deal, especially the choice of flight time.

Generally speaking, hot air balloons can only fly in the early morning and when the weather permits. After the sun comes out, the earth absorbs the heat, which causes heat convection and makes it easy for wind to rise. Therefore, taking off too late can easily cause danger. When Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi arrived, the pilot was already lighting the hot air balloon.

There are 5 gas bottles on the hot air balloon. A full bottle of gas is used to fill the hot air balloon before takeoff. Yunluo, Nalan Shiqi and more than a dozen people boarded a hot air balloon. The pilot threw the empty bottle out of the hot air balloon basket before takeoff. The hot air balloon is ready to take off in Cappadocia. The sky in Cappadocia has just turned pale.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi envied the hot air balloons in the picture below. They fly close to the ground, allowing passengers to appreciate the scenery and objects on the ground up close, and the strange stone forests. It is said that the height and direction of the balloons can be precisely controlled by adding gas, raising the fire, and pulling the ropes.

Passengers often feel like they are about to hit the cliff, but experienced pilots can avoid any obstacles without error, allowing passengers to experience the thrill of flying. Skilled pilots can even let you touch those strange rocks when the hot air balloon is close to the cliff.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi thought there was something wrong with the hot air balloon, but the pilot kept adding gas and starting the fire, and the hot air balloon took off again. It seems that it takes a lot of skill for the pilot to control the hot air balloon to stick to the surface of the stone forest accurately.

Zhou Xiken said he wanted to give Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi a surprise, so he added a non-itinerary attraction for them, the Pigeon Valley. When Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi travel to other countries, if they request to add attractions, they usually have to pay a fee, and how much it costs depends on the quality of the tour guide.

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

Today, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi did not make any requests to Zhou Xiken, and they did not know that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were going to pass by Pigeon Valley. Zhou Xiken could have just not told Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi and just driven past. This was Zhou Xiken's loyalty and kindness. He hoped that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi would enjoy more of the beautiful scenery in Turkey and make their trip worthwhile.

The rocks in Pigeon Valley are also gray-white cones and wavy rocks. It seems that Cappadocia has more such scenery than the red and vivid animal rock formations of Camel Rock. No wonder experts highly praise Camel Rock. Pigeon Valley Cappadocia Pigeon Valley has countless pigeon holes on both sides of the canyon.

Pigeons can not only convey information to the cave dwellers in Cappadocia, but pigeon droppings are also a source of agricultural fertilizer. Therefore, there are a large number of pigeon holes in or near the cave communities. However, a pigeon cave valley of this scale is unique in Cappadocia.

Pigeon Valley Cappadocia Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi did not go to the bottom of the valley, but only saw pigeons here. The small shop next to Pigeon Valley Cappadocia Pigeon Valley is very unique.

Uncovering the Underground City At present, people have discovered 36 underground cities in Cappadocia.

The largest one is the Derinku Ancient Underground City, which has 8 floors and goes 70-90 meters underground. There are more than 1,200 rooms with different functions. There are bedrooms, storage rooms, wine cellars, kitchens, churches, tombs, schools, and even places to raise animals. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi did not go to the Derinku Ancient Underground City.

The travel agency arranged an underground city on the way from Cappadocia to Konya. Beside the underground city, you can see Hasan Snow Mountain in the distance. It is covered with snow all year round. If it rains in Cappadocia, it must be snowing on Hasan Snow Mountain.

Entrance to the underground city Entrance to the Cappadocia underground city The Cappadocia underground city has three floors and is much smaller than the Derinku underground city. However, the general layout of the underground city can still be seen.

The most distinctive feature of the Cappadocia underground city is its air circulation system, which is generally built vertically to provide fresh air underground. The entrance between the first and second floors is very small, with a large stone disc, which is a unique safety device in the underground city. If someone attacks, as long as the hidden mechanism is moved, the stone disc will automatically roll out and seal the cave entrance.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi bought a small souvenir at the man's stall, which was considered a small contribution to this place.

During the Seljuk Turkish era, this place became an important trading town due to the gathering of merchants. The Sultan Hamergu Posthouse is a representative architectural work of that glorious historical period. On the way, Zhou Xiken introduced the history of the Sultan Hamergu Posthouse (the Turks called it the Duishanggu Hotel) to Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi.

In the 12th and 13th centuries, many such post houses were built in Cappadocia and even throughout the country to meet the needs of caravans traveling on the Silk Road. Two months ago, I saw a travel agency organizing a special tour of the Silk Road, starting in Xi'an and ending in Istanbul, Turkey. On the way, it passed through several countries, but all by plane.
