The entire harem is veneered with exquisite tiles, rich in colors, dazzling gold carvings, and exquisite everywhere.

Concubine dormitories, rooms with high floors and good views are usually for the concubines.

Exquisite tiles and panes, so old and still so bright, in addition to daily maintenance, can not but admire the level of handicraft in ancient times.

After a whole day of shopping, everyone was tired, and a girl in the team was shouting to find a beautiful sea-view restaurant to eat, Zhang Feng and they walked aimlessly in the square between Topka Palace and the Blue Green Temple, and accidentally looked up and found a restaurant on a high roof, and immediately touched it in the direction, it was really a super invincible sea-view restaurant, the Bosphorus, the Blue Green Temple, and the Old Palace, with a panoramic view.

Zhang Feng ordered half a fish (the whole one is very expensive, 300TL), a steak, a salad, a total of 300TL, the most expensive meal in the whole trip, but the grilled fish is delicious!

Before leaving Zhang Feng to take pictures, the doorman brother said: The puppets are famous, and the puppets are Seven Hills!

Zhang Feng: They picked it up crookedly.

Seven Hills Restaurant

After eating, Zhang Feng and the others went back to the hotel to rest satisfied, and bought the ticket for the last trip on the way, everything was OK, everything was so smooth!

In the evening, Zhang Feng also wrote a small strategy.

Topaca Palace

1. Tickets 25TL, harem 15TL, can be bought together at the door, can also be bought separately, there is a separate ticket office at the entrance of the harem, you can rent a Chinese interpreter on the right hand side of the gate, separate palace explanation 15TL, palace + harem 25TL, interpreter can be used by two people.

2. The harem is closed earlier than the palace, many of the guides are written at 5:30, and when we went to the museum was closed at 6 o'clock, I almost gave up at that time, but fortunately I went to see it, I don't know if it is related to the season, if the time is tight, it is still necessary to understand in advance.

……

I wrote something casually, and after checking it, there was nothing wrong, so Zhang Feng sent it out and went to sleep, and the next day, the weather was not bad.

Zhang Feng: Their goal today is Hagia Sofya Cathedral = (Aya Sofya Muzesi) - Bosphorus Cruise (Bosphorus Cruise) - Spice-Bazaar - "Kadikoy" food pedestrian area in the Asian area.

In the past few days in Istanbul, waking up every morning to the sound of Ilan's chanting, the melodious chanting transmitted through the loudspeaker and echoing in the air can make people's hearts so calm and serene, and later, chanting four times a day has become an expectation for Zhang Feng and them.

Zhang Feng enjoyed his hearty breakfast as usual, and set off to see the supreme masterpiece of Byzantine architecture, the Saint Sophia Church = Church.

Visiting Sophia Dajiao = Hall needs to have a long queue reputation, this day Zhang Feng and they deliberately set off at half past 8, never thought that although the line was long, but it only took 5 minutes to queue up to buy tickets and enter.

As soon as you enter the church, you will be attracted by a magical religious atmosphere and the shock of the whole building. The 31-meter-diameter dome above the church has been unfailing for thousands of years, carrying the wisdom and sweat of ancient skilled craftsmen;

Several huge discs under the dome bear the names of Allah = Lord and Prophet Mu = Khan = Mu = De, which is the largest Arabic word in the world today.

The mosaic above the roof is a mosaic of "Saint = Mother and Child", the young Christ in the arms of Saint = Mother, and the clothes are covered with gold leaf.

Under the icon, the golden one is the Mecca pilgrimage = worship = shrine, and the Sophia Church = church changed from God = church to green = temple, and the biggest change is also here, once again marveling at the coexistence of paganism.

The corridor leading to the second floor has a stone slab that has been worn down to a mirror-like surface for thousands of years, and it looks like a time tunnel.

One of the great attractions of the Sophian = church: the gold mosaic of the god Christ in a dark blue robe (a custom of Byzantine art) that sits in the center of a golden background, with the words "IC" and "XC" written on either side of his head, meaning "Yahweh = Suki = Doge". Constantine IX and Empress Zoe, dressed in ceremonial robes, are on the left and right sides of Jesus=Jesus, respectively. Constantine IX presents a purse to symbolize his devotion to the church, and Empress Zoe holds a scroll to symbolize her devotion. Their original heads had been scraped off, and the current three were replaced later. Another theory is that the mosaic was originally depicted with an earlier emperor and empress, and was later replaced with this version. The exquisite mosaic setting is breathtaking.

Zhang Feng They traveled in the solemn Sophia Cathedral for more than an hour, and immediately felt hungry after coming out, the girl and the little demon clamored to eat rotating barbecue, and they didn't go far before they met the barbecue restaurant, and the eyes of the foodies were green, this is just two lumps of meat, okay?

On this day Zhang Feng their focus: Bosphorus cruise

A 32-kilometre-long deep-water strait connecting the east and west, the world's most important strategic body of water, separates Asia from Europe, and also connects the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.

A cruise on the Bosphorus is a must-do when you come to Istanbul, just like the Great Wall is a must-do when you come to China.

Along the way, you'll see the new Royal Palace of Dolmabahce, the façade of Ottoman Baroque buildings, and a variety of Turkish houses. The traditional state-run cruise lasts nearly a day, which is very good for Zhang Feng and their free tourists, and the price of the cruise ship peddled on the blue Qingsi Square is high (15 euros/person), it is really unnecessary, Zhang Feng They chose the local ferry company, which lasted an hour and a half, without stopping in the middle, the line contains the most essential part and two Bosphorus bridges, which are turned back by Rumeli Castle, the ticket price is only 12TL / person, there are not many tourists, the price is good, and the whole trip feels perfect.

The grilled fish boat on the side of the dock was rarely crowded at this time, and they didn't know that it was selling grilled fish at that time, and when it was evening, Zhang Feng and they were frightened by the size of the diners.

After sailing the boat, immerse yourself in the 1TL cup of tea served on the ship (so cheap that Zhang Feng thought he heard it wrong, and asked several times).

"Wow, we actually missed the new palace in Dolmabahce, is this the Kempinski Hotel below?" asked the girl who was traveling with us.

Zhang Feng looked confused and did not answer.

……

The spice market and the Bosphorus belong to the same route, the spice market is only an underground passage away from the cruise ship dock, and Zhang Feng was scared when he entered the passage, because Zhang Feng was mysterious, and he didn't know whether this was the passage or the vegetable market in front of him.
