The yellow snack was delicious too. The small cup on the lower right was Turkish black tea. Zhou Xiken saw Yun Luo getting a hot drink and quickly told her that she should add half hot water to the tea and then sugar. This is the Turkish way of eating. During these days in Turkey, the food in Saffron City was the most delicious.
In the morning, during breakfast at Saffron City, Yunluo's friend Zhuzhu said to Yunluo with regret that she got up late and moved slowly, and she hadn't gone shopping yet. While everyone was still eating, Yunluo and the photographer quickly pulled her down the mountain. At this time, the car carrying Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's luggage was already waiting below.
Starting from the alley of the hotel in Safranbolu City, it rained heavily. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi went to visit several major places with umbrellas. When they returned, the rain had stopped and the sky cleared up, leaving this photo of the Koprulu Mehmed Pasha Mosque in the sun. Traveling depends entirely on luck, and good weather means good photos.
If it weren't for the phone call urging Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi, they would really like to take a few more photos. Mosque in the Sun Near this square next to the Mohammed Pasha Mosque in Safranbolu City, there is a Junji Hotel, which was built in 1645 and has a history of more than 360 years. It is the largest building in the city.
The price of this hotel is above average, but the room space and decoration are relatively limited. I mentioned it because the travel book only recommends three ancient buildings: Koprulu Mehmed Pasha Mosque, Junji Hotel and Junji Turkish Bath. Friends who are interested can go and have a look.
Triangular Square Safranbolu Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi came to the observation deck of Shidler Hill. Shidler Hill Observation Deck Safranbolu City From here, it is a great location to see Safranbolu City. Ottoman houses are scattered in the valley, with uniform white walls and red tiles, which is very spectacular. It is said that the architecture of Safranbolu City influenced the urban development of a large area of the Ottoman Empire.
Valley in the morning light Safranbolu Valley in the morning light Valley in the morning light Safranbolu How many minarets can you see in this photo (the tall pillars next to the mosque)? You can try to count them. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi counted a total of 15 minarets within their visual range.
The small city of Safranbolu has so many mosques to meet the needs of citizens for prayer. Mosque in the valley Safranbolu Valley in the morning light Safranbolu This is the first group photo of Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi. Are there too many ladies and too few men? The men in the family are not as active as the ladies.
Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's team Saffron City Zhou Xiken has been enthusiastic about taking photos for everyone, and there is no rigid stay time. Seeing that everyone likes the scenery on the top of the mountain, he is very happy. Zhou Xiken serving his teammates Happy sisters Saffron City Zhou Xiken took a photo with Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi Saffron City Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi will leave Saffron City soon.
Everyone was reluctant to leave. This was not because of the glorious history of Safranbolu during the Ottoman Empire, but because of the isolated atmosphere of Safranbolu. The streets where Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi could stroll freely, and the unique Ottoman houses that could be seen everywhere. One day of contact.
Yunluo and Nalanshiqi were already familiar with Zhou Xiken. On the way back to Ankara, everyone started to tease Zhou Xiken's name. The sisters said that the name was not nice and difficult to pronounce, so it would be better to change it to Zhou Xigen. Zhou Xiken said that this name was given by his teacher when he was studying at Peking University based on the homophony of his foreign name.
The sisters said that was not okay, so they tried to change his name, but he smiled honestly. It was not until Yunluo asked his girlfriend to give him a Chinese name that they gave up. Zhou Xi's girlfriend was a girl from Fengyang, Anhui, China, and she was going to Turkey to marry him this year. Turkey lacked people who knew Chinese, so she could go there to be a Chinese teacher.
Later, he turned on his phone and asked his girlfriend to greet everyone. Zhou Xiken likes China very much and has traveled to many places in China with his girlfriend. Zhou Xiken used to lead French and Russian tour groups because he knows five languages. There are only more than 20 Chinese tour guides in Turkey. Recently, he was asked to lead a Chinese tour group again.
Everyone says that you are the son-in-law of China. Naturally, you will be very nice to Chinese tourists. Lead this group well this time. When Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's relatives and friends come to Turkey for tourism in the future, they will still appoint you as the tour guide. Zhou Xiken smiled and said, "Good! Good!" This is Zhou Xiken's masterpiece, a monograph about the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.
There are many pictures in it, and there are introductions to the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, etc. He is only 28 years old this year. It is already very good to have such an achievement. He only studied Chinese for 5 months at Peking University, but he can communicate fluently with Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi in Chinese. He is very smart. Zhou Xiken's work.
The Anatolian Civilization History Museum - Founder's Memorial Hall - Stay in Cappadocia Today, the attractions to visit in Ankara are the Anatolian Museum and the Founder's Memorial Hall. The Anatolian Museum is for visiting unearthed cultural relics from various historical periods in Turkey, while the Founder's Tomb is to commemorate Kemal, the founder of the Republic of Turkey.
The two reflect the development of Turkey from different perspectives. Today, we are tracing the past and looking forward to the present. The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations is located on a small hill in the city of Ankara. When the tourist bus went up the hill, Yunluo and Nalanshiqi saw this ancient castle. Zhou Xiken told Yunluo and Nalanshiqi that this was a big castle.
In 622, Ankara was occupied by the Persians and in 838 by the Arabs. The defending army could only build a defensive castle on a high ground. The entire castle has two walls, the outer wall was built in the 9th century during the Byzantine Emperor Michael III, and the inner wall can be traced back to the 7th century.
The building materials used to build the fortress were mostly taken from the wall stones left over from the Roman era. The castle that Yunluo and Nalanshiqi saw today was rebuilt in the Seljuk and Ottoman eras. Ankara Castle Ankara Castle Along the outer wall of the castle, Yunluo and Nalanshiqi climbed up the hill.
Arrived at the gate of the Anatolian Museum. The gate of the Anatolian Civilizations Museum Ankara An old Turkish man sat at the gate with a cute kitten. He did not leave until Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi came out of the visit. The old man and the cat Ankara Who are you?
Ankara is too lazy to care about you. The gate of Ankara Museum is located halfway up the mountain, and you can see the cityscape of Ankara. Overlooking the city of Ankara Overlooking the city of Ankara Turkey has a long history, a vast territory, and rich cultural history. It is located on the Anatolian Plateau in Asia Minor. Since ancient times, it has been a transportation hub for Asia, Europe, and Africa.
This ancient civilization that combines Eastern and Western characteristics was created. The Anatolian Museum is second only to the Istanbul Archaeological Museum in Turkey. Most of the collections in the museum are ancient artifacts from Anatolia. Unearthed artifacts are placed everywhere in the museum.
This is the exhibition hall of the Anatolian Museum. The building itself is a 15th-century covered bazaar with a total of 10 light blue domes on the roof. The exhibits are roughly from the Paleolithic period, the Neolithic period, stone and bronze and stone tools.
Bronze and stone artifacts, Assyrian Empire period, Phrygian period, Urartu period, Lydian period. They are arranged in counterclockwise order. Among them, the artifacts from the Hittite Empire period, which once played an extremely important role in Anatolian history, occupy the main space in the center of the exhibition hall.
Anatolian Civilizations Museum Ankara Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi only visited the Greco-Roman exhibition hall on the underground floor. The earthen jars outside the exhibition hall of the Anatolian Civilizations Museum Ankara are also unearthed cultural relics. It seems that the Turks have liked to use earthen jars since ancient times.
Anatolian Civilizations Museum Ankara Zhou Xiken is smiling and explaining this history to Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi. Turkish tour guide Zhou Xiken Anatolian Civilizations Museum This exhibition hall displays unearthed cultural relics from the Greek and Roman period (334 BC-129 BC). The exhibits are roughly divided into sculptures, pottery, gold ornaments, and ancient coins.
The sculptures are the most numerous.

In 129 AD, the Roman Empire established a province in Turkey with Ephesus as its capital. It also became a bridge connecting Europe on the Silk Road. These unearthed cultural relics reflect the social life at that time. Greek and Roman Exhibition Hall Ankara Greek and Roman Exhibition Hall Ankara Greek and Roman Exhibition Hall Ankara There are many ancient coins.
It is said that the heads on it are mostly prominent figures such as kings and queens. Ancient Coins Anatolian Museum This is coin No. 36, and the characters are very beautiful. Did you notice the nose? Zhou Xiken's nose is as high as that. Turkey connects Europe and Asia, and borders Syria and Iraq in the southeast.
It borders Greece and Bulgaria to the west and Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran to the east. Frequent wars in ancient times, the division and expansion of the territory, led to the integration of multiple ethnic groups. Zhou Xiken's ancestors were Greeks, and he has some European characteristics.
However, it is said that Turkish people like short noses and single eyelids, and think that is beauty. Therefore, some people have cosmetic surgery to make their noses shorter and their double eyelids become single eyelids. This is exactly the opposite of China. This is really a vicious circle of "siege". Ancient Coins Anatolian Museum This is a gold ornament in the exhibition hall.
Anatolian Gold Jewelry Museum The Greek and Roman exhibition hall of the Anatolian Gold Jewelry Museum is not big. After visiting it, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi came to the gift shop. Everyone liked the hot air balloon because the hot air balloon trip had entered Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's plan. Gift Shop Anatolian Museum Antalya Museum Ankara Exit the museum.
Turn right and you will see a small souvenir shop on the way to the restaurant. This is the owner. Tourist souvenir shop Ankara This is the blue eye, also known as the "devil's eye". Legend has it that it can ward off evil spirits. There are many styles and the price is cheap. The sisters began to buy small gifts. Prepare some first, just in case.
Tourist Souvenir Shop Ankara Tourist Souvenir Shop Ankara Arrived at the top of the mountain. Yunluo and Nalanshiqi saw the Great Castle again. Great Castle Ankara This is another gate of the Great Castle. You can see the ancient narrow streets inside. The ancient castle contrasts with the modern Ankara. There is nothing special about the castle architecture.
It is just because of the high terrain that the entire Ankara city center can be overlooked from the commanding heights of the castle. Great Castle Ankara Great Castle Ankara passes by a dried fruit market, where the price is about 5 times higher than in China. The restaurant where Yunluo and Nalan Seqi dine is outside the wall of the Great Castle. The wall of the Great Castle is at the lower left corner behind the house.
It seems that they are lucky. The terrain here is high. Yunluo and Nalanshiqi can see the scenery of Ankara city center from here. It was raining in Ankara just now. The sun is not strong at the moment, so let's make do with it. In fact, Zhou Xiken has arranged the dining place in such a place more than once, which is convenient for dining.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After lunch, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi came to the Tomb of the Father of the Nation. The Tomb of the Father of the Nation is a simple translation of Huaguo Travel Agency. Its full name is Ataturk Mausoleum, and "Ataturk" means "Father of Turkey".
Ataturk's Mausoleum also has a Turkish name - Anitkabir, which is too long and difficult to remember. It is called the Tomb of the Founding Father of the Republic of Turkey. The Tomb of the Founding Father is the resting place of Kemal, the founder of the Republic of Turkey, and is also a must-see for foreign tourists to Ankara. In 1288, the Turkic group was led by the leader Osman.
The Ottoman Empire was established near Bursa, and its power grew day by day. The Ottoman Empire ruled Turkey for 8 centuries and was almost synonymous with Turkey. Its rise and fall, honor and disgrace were tied to the hearts of every Turk. When the First World War broke out, the Ottoman Empire joined the Allies and declared war on Britain and France.
Later, the Allies were defeated and the victorious powers attempted to divide Turkey. Kemal led the Turks to resist foreign humiliation, defeated the Greek army, abolished the unequal treaties, and announced the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. Kemal died in Istanbul. In order to commemorate this great
Turkey planned to build this magnificent mausoleum and buried his remains underground in the mausoleum. The mausoleum is located on a small hill in the western suburbs of Ankara. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi entered the mausoleum from the west gate. Everyone had to go through the security checkpoint, but Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's luggage was in the car, and after the security check, they took a car to the steps of the mausoleum.
This security check is unscientific and has no effect. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were lucky. It happened that the guards of the mausoleum were changing shifts, which gave them another attraction. The guards of the Mausoleum of the Founding Father of the Nation Ankara The entire mausoleum covers a vast area, including parks, squares, mausoleums, two towers and Kemal's relics museum. These are the two towers.
One is the "Independence Tower". It displays various information pictures of the construction of the mausoleum and photos of Kemal's funeral; the other tower is the "Freedom Tower", which has a distribution map and detailed introduction of the mausoleum area. There are three male and three female statues in front of the twin towers, representing Turks from all walks of life.
The guards of the Tomb of the Founding Fathers of the Nation are composed of three branches of the army, navy and air force. The troops march in an orderly and majestic manner, and tourists follow them closely. The Guards of the Tomb of the Founding Fathers of the Nation are located in Ankara. After the twin towers, there is a long avenue of stone lions. 24 stone lion statues from the Hittite Empire are located on both sides of the avenue. In the Hittite era,
Lions symbolize power and strength. A group of happy Turkish children in Ankara visited the Mausoleum of the Founding Fathers under the guidance of their teachers. It seems that this is the patriotism education base of Turkey. The visiting children walked along the Stone Lion Avenue and entered the main body of the mausoleum. The mausoleum is very grand, a bit like Chairman Mao's Memorial Hall.
The difference is that dozens of steps raise the main building "Hall of Glory" to overlook the square. The four columnar corridor-style buildings in the southeast, northwest and northeast of the National Father's Tomb in Ankara surround the square into a large square. The National Father's Tomb Square Ankara Square Ankara National Father's Tomb This group of happy high school students are taking graduation photos, and they are wearing the same clothes.
It is said that this kind of clothing is worn by high school and college graduates. Yunluo and Nalanshiqi graduated at the Tomb of the Father of the Nation in Ankara. Yunluo and Nalanshiqi passed by and were invited to take a photo. The teacher was very happy. Here, Yunluo and Nalanshiqi are "foreigners". Congratulations to you. The children who finished taking graduation photos at the Tomb of the Father of the Nation in Ankara threw their hats into the sky.
Happy children! Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi graduated. There are guards guarding the tomb on both sides of the Stone Lion Avenue and at the entrance of the Hall of Glory. Each of them exudes a heroic spirit. Majestic guards. Corridor outside the Hall of Glory of the Ankara National Father's Tomb. This is the Hall of Glory, which is the tomb of the founding father Kemal.
Visitors must take off their hats when entering the hall. At the north end of the hall is Kemal's sarcophagus. The sarcophagus is made of a whole piece of special colored marble, but Kemal's body is not placed in the sarcophagus, but buried underground. The Tomb of the Founding Father of Ankara in the Hall of Glory can also overlook the city of Ankara outside the Hall of Glory.
Looking out over Ankara, the houses around Ankara Square and the Hall of Honor are all the Kemal Relics Museum, which displays Kemal's portraits, official documents, uniforms, books, cars and other relics. Kemal Statue Ankara National Father Tomb Kemal Portrait Ankara National Father Tomb Museum has only a few rooms.
You can't take photos in other places. Zhou Xiken stood in front of a map and explained to Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi the history of resisting foreign humiliation under Kemal's leadership. It can be seen that he respects Kemal. Exhibition Hall Ankara National Father Tomb This is the park part of the mausoleum area, where many local residents relax. (To be continued...)
