The Bosphorus Bridge is also the first gateway for the Black Sea littoral countries to the sea. With the development www.biquge.info of human civilization and the increasing trade and various exchanges between countries in Europe and Asia, the geographical location of the Bosphorus Strait is of particularly important strategic significance. Looking back at the panoramic view of the European coast of Istanbul at the European Bridge, given the strategic importance of the Bosphorus.

In order to defend Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) at the southern end of the strait, the Byzantine emperors and Ottoman sultans built a number of castles along the strait, the most famous of which were the Rumeli Fort on the European coast and the Anatolian fortress on the Asian coast.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's boat had already sailed to the Rumeli Fortress. The fortress consisted of three large towers and a small one, as well as the defensive walls that connected them. During the Ottoman period, the Rumeli fortress became a customs checkpoint that controlled ships passing through the strait. In the 17th century, it was converted into a prison and mainly housed foreign prisoners of war.

Since 1960, the fortress has been open to the public as a museum, and in the summer as an amphitheater with various concerts. The majestic castle and the natural scenery of the Bosphorus make up another beautiful picture: Rumeli Fortress and Eurasian Second Bridge, Istanbul Bosphorus Strait crosses Rumeli Fortress is the Eurasian Second Bridge.

In 1988, 8 kilometers from the Eurasian Bridge, the Bosphorus Bridge (referred to as the Eurasian Bridge II) was built. It has made it easier for people from Europe and Asia to come into contact. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's Baidu flag is crossing the Eurasian land bridge, leaving an unforgettable memory.

The current of Xiaoqi crossing the Bosphorus in Istanbul on the Eurasian Land Bridge is also a two-layer current in different directions, with the upper water flowing from the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara. The lower water flows from the Sea of Marmara to the Black Sea, and schools of fish flow seasonally between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, making the area rich in fisheries.

The Second Eurasian Bridge crossed the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul, and the cruise ship turned around and returned home. Second Eurasian Bridge Istanbul Bosphorus In order to take one last look at the Second Eurasian Bridge, Yunluo came to the stern of the boat and met this very friendly family, who kept letting Yunluo take pictures in their seats.

The cute little girl kept patting Yunluo's arm, hoping to communicate with Yunluo. It's so cute. Happy Family Istanbul Cruises have been on cruises in various places before, but none of them are as colorful as the Bosphorus: the strait with its special location, the busy Eurasian land bridge, the historical monuments, the rolling hills along the coast, and the various palaces built along the mountains.

Villa. The scenery of the green trees and the blue water of the Bosphorus is so beautiful that the whole team is fascinated by this beautiful scenery, and everyone shoots wildly, so that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's trip to Turkey is **. Final Result. Except for a few people, everyone's camera memory has run out, and the electricity is gone.

At this time, the cruise ship was already close to the Asian coast, and Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were unable to take pictures of the beautiful scenery of the Asian coast, so they had to take out their mobile phones to keep a souvenir. Some people say that tourism is to find happiness, and Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi have found it today. Iso-Asian Coastal Scenery Istanbul Asian Coastal Scenery Istanbul Asian Coastal Scenery.

Istanbul Asian Coastal Scenery Istanbul The building in the picture below is Beylerbeyi Palace. When doing travel tips, ignore it. When I came back, I found out that it was one of the top ten palaces in the world. The top ten palaces in the world are: the Forbidden City and the Potala Palace in China, the Palace of Versailles and the Louvre in France, the Kremlin in Russia, and the White House in the United States.

Buckingham Palace and Lenium Palace in the UK, Topkapi Palace and Beylerbeyi Palace in Turkey. Of the top ten palaces, Yunluo has already visited 7 (the White House is just the exterior, and Topkapi Palace is on this tour). Because they haven't traveled to the UK yet, Buckingham Palace and Lyneem Palace still have a chance, while Bellebey Palace is just a façade.

It can be seen that Yunluo's strategy is not meticulous, so that he rubs shoulders with Bellebeyi Palace. What a pity! However, Yunluo wondered, since it is one of the top ten palaces in the world, why not publicize it and organize tourists to visit? I'll leave this question to my friends who will go to Turkey in the future. Beylerbeyi Palace was built in the 19th century. Built in white marble.

It is said that the pavilion is one with the mosque, and the courtyard is full of exotic flowers and trees from all over the world, the most majestic and elegant of which is the "Xia Lei", which is a place for the sultans to entertain, covered with magnolia flowers, full of dreams. It's extravagant. Belbeyi Palace was once a summer villa for the Sultan and a guest house for foreign dignitaries.

Bellebeyi Palace, Bosphorus Asian Coast, Istanbul The Asian coast is very similar to the European coast, with rolling hills, majestic palaces, villas among greenery, and seaside retreats. Asian Coastal Scenery IstanbulAsian Coastal Scenery Istanbul Departure Bosphorus.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi go to the Old Palace. The traffic in Istanbul is always congested, and there is a traffic jam on the road from the Galatia bridgehead to the Old Palace, and it is exactly 18:02 at the gate of the Old Palace. The old palace was originally closed at 19 o'clock, according to Zhou Xiken's calculations, it should be just right, but people are not as good as the sky, today the palace will receive VIPs, and it will close at 18 o'clock in advance.

Zhou Xiken said with great regret: "It would be good if we visited the Old Palace first and then went to the Bosphorus." Yunluo comforted him: "It's okay, there is still time tomorrow." "Actually, tomorrow there will be no other attractions except shopping. Yunluo didn't plan to shop, hoping to focus on visiting the attractions.

Zhou Xiken immediately led Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to the underground water tank. 5. The underground water cistern of the scenic spot outside the itinerary. The full name of the Basilica Cistern is Yelaibatan Basilica Cistern, the ticket is 10 lira, and Zhou Xiken explains to Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi for free, and accompanies the whole process as usual. There are many underground palaces in the city of Istanbul, but the Yalebatan Basilica Cistern is the largest of them.

The Basilica Cistern was built during the reign of Justinian the Great (reigned 527 --- 565) to ensure the supply of water to the court and to prevent enemy sieges. The water palace has a storage capacity of 100,000 tons, and if it is full, the water is pumped to the ground and sent to various places through a nearly 20-kilometer-long aqueduct, which can be drunk by the whole city for a month.

However, it was later closed for some unknown reason. For a long time, residents of Istanbul's Old City could hear the sound of water running underground at night, but no one knew why. It was not until the 50s of the 16th century that French archaeologists discovered this underground cistern near the Hagia Sophia, finally unveiling this mysterious phenomenon.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi descended the 52 steps to the dungeon and were immediately shocked by the sheer scale. The entire water palace is 143 meters long and 65 meters wide. A total of 336 large Collinthian stone columns support the ceiling. The Basilica Cistern Istanbul is lined up in 12 rows, like a forest of columns.

In terms of building function, without so many stone columns and semi-circular arches, it may not be able to withstand the weight of the top of the water palace and the pressure of the water. The Hollywood movie "007 in Istanbul" and Jackie Chan's "Secret Service" were filmed here. The stone pillars of the Basilica Cistern Istanbul are made of a variety of materials.

It is mainly taken from some abandoned old buildings of the Roman Empire. Most of it is marble and granite. The water of the water palace is clear and transparent, and the fish roam freely and freely, not knowing that "it is only a few days in the cave, and there are thousands of years in the world". Basilica Cistern Istanbul This is the mysterious column of tears in the Basilica Cistern.

The column of tears has tree patterns and peacock eye lines, which look like tears. Do you see the man's hand, there is a round hole in the index finger? It is said that if you stick your finger in it, you can rotate it 360° and you will be lucky. Therefore, it attracted everyone to make a wish here.

There are always some unsatisfactory things in life, hoping to get through the difficulties, Yunluo rotated three times in a row for a wish, and Ding Ding Cat laughed at Yunluo's wishes too much. In fact, Yunluo has only one wish: I hope LG is healthy! The reason why the water palace is full of mystery is also because of the evil god imprisoned here, the gorgon Medusa.

In Greek mythology, mortals would turn into stone statues if they looked at her. On the side of the Water Palace. Beneath the two massive stone pillars are the heads of the banshees. One faces down, and the other faces downwards. Exactly why it was placed in this way is unknown. Gorgons Dumeisha Istanbul Basilica Cistern Gorgons Dumeisha Istanbul Groundwater.

6 Unexpected Surprises Old Town Walk. Coming out of the underground water tank, I don't know why the driver didn't come to pick up Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi, Zhou Xiken led Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to start crossing. Many friends of the self-guided tour have described the fun of strolling in the old city in the guide, and Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi did not have this item in the itinerary, so they thought they had missed it.

Who knew that Zhou Xiken gave Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi another surprise. Trams in Istanbul are an important means of transportation, and in Istanbul they are no exception, with several carriages and a lot of passengers. The tram was photographed near the Basilica Cistern. It is said to run through the main attraction throughout.

Old City Street View Istanbul Passing by an old post office, Mei Mei wanted to send a postcard, but time did not allow, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi still had two attractions to complete. The Old City Post Office, Istanbul, the Old City side streets, all kinds of shops, restaurants, rotisserie, fruit shops, one after another. It is a great place to experience the life of the common people in Istanbul, so there are many tourists.

At this time, Ding Ding Cat walked behind the clouds and said very worriedly, "You won't be angry if you are allowed to walk so much, right?" Yunluo said, "Why are you angry? Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi strolled, which was not in the itinerary. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi earned it. Ding Ding Cat smiled: "You are really an alternative tour group." ”

In fact, it is recommended in the guide, the attractions are concentrated, and it is best to play on foot. There is a walking route, which is approximately from Sultanahmet Park to the Grand Bazaar. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi are walking from Sultanahmet Square in the direction of the Golden Horn today, which can be regarded as roaming in the old city.

Old Town Street View Istanbul Street Restaurants Istanbul Old Town Street View Istanbul Old Town Street View Istanbul Zhou Xiken has been walking in front with his Minions, and at the end of the path is the spice market, but it is now past 7 pm and the market is closed. Bypassing the spice souk is the new mosque.

Old City Street View When waiting for the bus in front of the new mosque in Istanbul, Zhou Xiken also said worriedly, "It's not strange to let you walk so much, right?" Yunluo still smiled: "No, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi have earned, it's too late to be happy." At this time, Yunluo found that Zhou Xiken was worried, and he said vigorously: "There are still a few attractions that I haven't gotten to, and you will have opinions." ”

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi comforted him and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't go to the attractions, I won't blame you." "Zhou Xiken is always so loyal. In order to fulfill his promise, despite the tight schedule, Zhou Xiken still arranged for Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to have dinner at a Chinese restaurant far away from the new mosque, which was the only more authentic Chinese food Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi had eaten in Turkey these days.

Everyone is very satisfied. Zhou Xiken is always so kind. The Chinese restaurant Istanbul is like Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi are not used to Turkish food, and Zhou Xiken and the driver are also not used to Chinese food, so they went to another Turkish restaurant next door. Because there were still two attractions, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi hurriedly left. Forgot to leave the name of this restaurant.

Yunluo began to think that only Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi had not completed the tour and had to "work overtime" at night. As a result, on the road, I saw a tourist bus larger than Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi, full of European and American tourists. Stopping at a scenic spot, the whole car sisters laughed: it turned out that there was still a night.

Later, I went to Chamilica Mountain and saw 6 or 7 tour buses on the mountain, and then I realized that the team who wanted to see the night view deliberately arranged it at night. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi are crooked. The driver, Mohammed, did not know the road, so he made a detour in the middle and drove Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to a dead end, and after several twists and turns, he drove to the Suleymaniye Mosque.

Take a night tour of the Suleymaniye Mosque. Located on the western shore of the Golden Horn, the Suleymaniye Mosque is the most orthodox Ottoman building. The mosque was built in the mid-16th century, during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, the most powerful Ottoman Empire, and was designed by Sinan, the greatest architect of the Ottoman Empire.

The Suleymaniye Mosque is not as well-known as the Blue Mosque, but it is a favorite architectural masterpiece among Istanbul locals. The Suleymaniye Mosque consists of a square hall and a courtyard in front of it, and is surrounded by more than 20 public buildings such as hospitals, schools, baths, etc.

The Suleymaniye Mosque has only four minarets, which are even more mysterious at night. Even though it's also night. There are still prayerful believers here. Mosques usually don't close until 9 p.m., so Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's visit to the mosque is usually scheduled in the evening. The chandeliers here are very low, like the Blue Mosque.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi asked Zhou Xiken what the reason was, and Zhou Xiken said that it was so that the people who were praying could clearly see the direction of Mecca. Suleymaniye Mosque Istanbul Suleymaniye Mosque is architecturally very different from the Blue Mosque, and it creates a sense of majesty and sublime within its massive space.

But it does not pursue ornateness, but adheres to the traditional Ottoman architectural style. The Istanbul Hall of Suleymaniye Mosque was lit with 128 stained glass windows and was made by the most skilled glassmakers of the time. The various spaces inside it are tightly integrated, with various shapes of glass windows and red and white brick arches complementing each other.

Its walls, altar, pulpit, and other seats are all built of finest marble with intricately carved ceilings. At the base of the dome there are second-floor balconies that open to various places, and their balustrades are delicately treated and are an eye-catching decorative element. The Quran disc hanging on the wall is the work of a famous Turkish calligrapher.

The artistic value is high. The large dome inside the Suleymaniye Mosque Istanbul Temple is 265 meters in diameter. Supported by 4 huge pillars 53 meters high, this dome is the largest after Hagia Sophia. In order to avoid the tedium of domes of the same size, the large dome is connected on all sides with more semi-circular small domes.

These small domes are built on the four corners of the main hall and produce excellent visual effects. Suleymaniye Mosque Istanbul is worth mentioning for the carpet of Suleymaniye Mosque. It is in the shape of neatly arranged arches, each of which can accommodate just one person, and it should be spectacular if there is a large event in which the devotees sit in turn.

Suleymaniye Mosque Istanbul Yunluo came out of the temple and the dinging cat chased after Yunluo. Tell Yunluo that something is wrong. Because Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi didn't go to the old palace in the afternoon, Zhou Xiken's boss got angry and threatened to fire Zhou Xiken on the grounds that he didn't complete the itinerary. Yunluo said. I can go to the old palace tomorrow, and I still have half a day.

Yunluo wanted to ask Zhou Xiken what was going on, Ding Ding Cat was worried about hurting Zhou Xiken's self-esteem and didn't let Yunluo go, he thought that a 28-year-old man could solve this problem. Yunluo hopes to find Zhou Xiken's boss to reflect: Zhou Xiken is very good, and he is not to blame for the afternoon's incident. However, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi don't speak Turkish and don't know how to find his boss.

Ding Ding Mao believes that this is a capitalist society, private enterprises, and the Chinese method is useless. The helpless clouds fell, and the mood was extremely heavy. Ding Ding Cat didn't let Yunluo make a noise, worried about hurting Zhou Xiken's face. There was a fire in my heart, and I didn't know what to say when I saw Zhou Xiken, so I asked Zhou Xiken without words, I heard that you can see the night view of the Golden Horn here, where is it?

The loyal Zhou Xiken endured the pain in his heart and immediately took Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to the back of the mosque. Suleymaniye Mosque Istanbul at night is majestic. Suleymaniye Mosque Istanbul is in a corner of the courtyard, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi clearly see the night view of the Golden Horn, and the red bridge in the distance is the Eurasian Bridge.

The colourful bridge nearby is the Galata Bridge. The group members exclaimed: It's so beautiful! Ding Ding Cat asked Yunluo while taking pictures: "Do you even know this?" Yunluo said: "I looked it up on the Internet, and I want to thank the friends who wrote here." Ding Ding Cat said happily: "After I went back, I was a teacher in the company, and none of them came."
