Chapter 876 [Slow-Paced Turkey]
Two days later, the Yang family ended their trip to Egypt, and to be honest, Yang Yong had a little regret about the trip to Egypt. Because Yang Yong was more interested in the gold and silver treasures that disappeared from the Pyramid of Khufu, but after playing for so many days and not finding a single clue, it is possible that the Pyramid of Khufu was stolen and excavated thousands of years ago.
All that remains for the present is some illusory dreams, which have been tirelessly searched by historians and archaeologists of Egypt. I couldn't find any clues, let alone alone, so Yang Yong had no choice but to leave Egypt with his family. If it is delayed any longer, Yang Yong will have no reason to convince the people in the family, after leaving Egypt.
Yang Yong took his family straight to the Mediterranean Sea and came to Cyprus, the pearl of the Mediterranean, for the second phase of the trip. Cyprus is a very interesting country located on the Mediterranean Sea, close to Turkey, and is a jewel in the middle of the Mediterranean. In particular, the climate in Cyprus is one of the most comfortable, neither hot nor cold, with white sandy beaches, green forests, and even snow-capped peaks.
Of course, you can't see summer anymore, and Cyprus is also an ancient civilization, and in ancient times it was the transportation point of the Mediterranean. In ancient times, the economy was also relatively developed, but the area of the country was too small, and almost the entire island country formed a strong fortress.
Cyprus is also quite controversial now, why do you say that? because of the population of Cyprus. Half of them were Greeks and the other half were Turks, which split the country into two parts, half of the Greeks who believed that Cyprus should be annexed to Greece, and the other half of the Turks who thought that the annexation of Cyprus to Turkey was the wisest option.
Of course, regardless of this, the local population is divided, but Cyprus is the most famous tourist area in the Mediterranean. The facilities are also quite complete, Yang Yong took his family to visit the most famous church in Cyprus, and left traces of the Yang family's happiness on those events, the ancient streets.
As for the best in Cyprus, the sandy beach view of the Yang family is not very cold, and that is because of the Yang family's private island. Chengmu Island is a paradise in the Mediterranean, more beautiful and enchanting than Cyprus. Having such a ready-made view is the private property of your family, but one of the most important reasons to visit the beaches of Cyprus is to taste the food.
Because Cyprus is at the crossroads, where East meets West, Cyprus has been a gastronomic capital since ancient times. Here you can taste recipes left over from ancient Europe, as well as delicacies from Asia that will make you want to linger.
Even if you stay in Cyprus for half a year, you will enjoy a wide variety of cuisines, and of course Cyprus is an island country. In 10 days, you can see all the famous sights of Cyprus, and then take a boat to Turkey for the third stage of the tour.
Turkey is an interesting country, both world wars, Turkey was drawn into it. Turkey was also the center of the Ottoman Empire, which at the dawn of the country swept across the Mediterranean.
It also became a well-deserved hegemon in the Mediterranean, but as its rule became firm, the country became weaker and more corrupt. But the nation was very belligerent, and waged a century-long war with the Russian Empire, the hegemon of Europe at that time.
The Russian-Turkish war was fought many times, Turkey lost more than it won, and its land was robbed of wave after wave, and every time the war was lost, it was a land reparation. And it is still a repeated defeat, until now Turkey is still not so cold to Russia, Turkey is also one of the largest countries in Asia to join NATO, highly Westernized.
There are so many places to visit in Turkey, and one Istanbul, formerly Constantine, was enough for you to visit for a month. Of course, it is impossible for the Yang family to travel all the borders of Turkey, and it will take a month to focus on some landscapes, so after coming to Turkey. The Yang family completely relaxed and entered the slow life of Turkish society, and everything became very slow.
In the morning, both adults and children sleep until 9 o'clock and wake up and enjoy a Turkish breakfast. At 11 o'clock, I hung up my camera and video recorder and went out to visit the scenic spots of Istanbul under the protection of many bodyguards, and only found a century-old shop at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Enjoy a Turkish meal, then continue the tour in the afternoon and return to the hotel until just after 8 p.m. for dinner.
After dinner, enjoy the world's most famous Turkish bath, especially when Yang Yong and his children are under the protection of James and Smith. Playing in the pool is called a crazy thing, because of being with the twins for so long, the father of Yang Yong, who has gradually been recognized by the two children. With Yang Yong's tireless efforts, the two children finally corrected the accuracy of their father's pronunciation, and finally drew an equal sign with poop.
This made Yang Yong quite proud, and he was arrogant in front of Anna, but he didn't expect Anna to just open her arms and slap your face. The names of the two children, the two little traitors rebelled on the spot, threw Yang Yong, a butterfly, aside and came to his mother's arms, and saw the three people who were in deep love with mother and son, which made Yang Yong envious and jealous.
It can only turn loss into appetite, coupled with the fact that Turkey has a suitable climate, it is the main fruit supply land in Europe, and the fruit is called an abundance. The quality is also quite passable, 1/3 of the Yang family's diet is composed of fruits, and it is not allowed to eat with an open belly in the main production area of fruits. Figs can be as big as a fist, sweet and soft, and the seeds inside crunch when you bite them, which makes people feel very happy.
In addition, what made Yang Yong feel very pleasantly surprised was that he not only traveled in Turkey, but also bought a lot of good things. Half of the surviving Yuan Qinghua is in the hands of collectors in Turkey, and Yang Yong will not be able to buy Yuan Qinghua no matter how much he spends on history. But knowing that the blue and white porcelain of the Qing Dynasty had been purchased a lot, Yang Yong felt that it was worth the trip.
Start in Istanbul, the eastern side of Turkey, cross the Istanbul Strait, board the train and arrive in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. Then head east to Lake Van Lake, Turkey's most famous tourist destination, and enjoy the beautiful lakeside scenery, stopping and enjoying the food and local customs.
Yang Yong also proposed that the Yang family give up living in star-rated hotels, and live in family hotels during the process of traveling in Turkey. Take the whole family hotel box, and then play for a few days to check out and leave, and feel the customs of Turkey from west to east in detail. Feeling how the people of Turkey live, what impressed the Yang family the most was that the Turks were very warm and hospitable, and very friendly to people.
