readx; Vaguely remembering that the price in the guide was not so much, Yunluo said subconsciously, and didn't report much, hoping to really give it a discount. After www.biquge.info didn't want the staff to think about it seriously, they told Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi that they could sell two tickets to Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi for 110 lira, which was 30 lira cheaper and 100 yuan smaller.

The bus traffic in Turkey is still very safe, not to mention the good roads, and the management is also scientific. Every 2 hours or so, there will be a stop at the rest stop for 10-20 minutes, and the driver will go to smoke a cigarette and drink a cup of tea; The ticket clerk not only has to deliver water to the small understand, but also has a list of passengers, who is responsible for reminding the place to get off the train.

This company's cars have wifi all the time. The ticket clerk of this train has a serious affection for Natasha and cares for her, not only taking her off at each rest stop to facilitate activities, but also vacating the last row of the car and finding cushions, Natasha is lying all the way to Saffron City.

Itinerary: The old town is great for aimless stop-and-go. Mosques, museums, Hidirhkpark should be a must-see, the park is built on a hill and offers a panoramic view of the town. But the most important thing is to find time to visit the 300-year-old hammam and feel the authentic traditional hammam.

Cost: 12 lira by taxi from the bus company's office outside the ancient city to the hotel, 34 lira per person in the Turkish bath to Otogar in Safranbolu It is 7 o'clock in the morning, the temperature is very low, and the clouds fall not only with leather clothes, but also with a thick shawl brought from Moscow to surround themselves tightly.

Still don't feel warm. Safranbolu's Otogar is still some distance from the ancient town, and Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi first made a free shuttlebus from the passenger transport company to arrive at the passenger transport company's business hall. After entering the city, Yunluo was quite surprised, the scale of the city is not small, the road is also very wide, although the houses on both sides of the road are not high.

But it's intensive. Business is not bustling, but it is also convenient. What's more, everything here is not significantly different from other cities, it has the feeling of a small town in the mountains, quiet but without character. In the small city in the deep mountains of Xiangxi, China, it is probably the same, and the small disappointment and loss rise in Yunluo's heart.

The business hall is not large, but Kamilkoc and Metro have counters. The departure time and destination of each day are similar. The staff of the passenger transport company called Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to call a taxi. The taxi quickly left the city, and soon a small mountain village in the valley with smoke appeared: the city of saffron flowers.

It is also the appearance of Yunluo's imagination. The soft sunlight shone on the old wooden door, and the kind hostess smiled. When you enter the door, you have to take off your shoes, because of the ubiquitous Turkish carpet in the building. As with all traditional stone houses, the entrance and passage are not very well lit. The small building has three floors, and the structure of each floor is not the same.

When you first enter the building, you feel like you've been in a labyrinth. The décor of the inn is very traditional. The ceiling of the small building and the copper vase in the hallway are two of Yunluo's favorite decorations, and when I checked in, two backpackers from the United States were leaving. Here is a brief introduction to the local highlights.

The proprietress gave Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi a map of the ancient town, the exterior of the inn is full of greenery, and there is a well under the big tree to sit in the car overnight, Yunluo wants to put down the luggage and go to wash, but Natasha thinks that you can watch the scenery first during the day, and then go to the bath after dark, anyway, the bathroom will be open until 10 o'clock at night.

Yunluo felt that there was some truth in her statement, but because of the structure of the hammam, there were several small transparent holes in the dome. You can see the changes in the sky during the day, but you can't experience it at night. The result of the negotiation is to turn first. Go to the bath in the afternoon. As soon as I left the inn, I saw this local returning home with a bag of bread.

It is quite lively, and the sun is reflected in the renovated old house, which is very beautiful, and it is said to be a 300-year-old hammam. On the right is the mosque. The small square in front becomes a transportation hub, and there are many buses and taxis that are the first street you see after entering the ancient town, and there are souvenir shops and banks along the way.

It is believed that many people have entered the travelogue mosque like a character from an Iranian movie who turned around the old bathhouse and got onto the road, and the more he walked, the more deserted he became. The meaning of going out of the ancient town. So he turned around and walked back to the small square in front of the mosque. Thinking of seeing the panoramic view of the town, he blindly walked to a high place and walked to a yellow building.

It's a height that can't be climbed any further. Looking at the introduction, it is a museum in the town, and there are introductions to the bell towers of various cities in Turkey outside, and Natasha is very attentive to find the Kunak clock tower in Izmir. It can be regarded as making up for the regret of not seeing the real thing. The ancient town in front of the museum is gradually waking up in the morning light, but unfortunately it is intact.

But due to the light, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi couldn't take good photos in a completely backlit environment. Although the light on the other side of the museum is good, the scale and form of the building complex cannot be compared with the ancient town, passing through the streets and alleys of the ancient town, such stone roads, such old houses, such door panels, and such creepers.

And this kind of sunshine, and the tailor shops, metal repair shops, handmade lamp shops, and handmade textile shops on this street that have not been seen for many years, there is really a feeling of returning to a distant life. Is there any news about the vicissitudes of the streets, some crooked houses and these metal utensils in front of the houses? A shopkeeper preparing to open while picking out a scarf at a shawl shop.

I found that the leg of the sunglasses had fallen off inexplicably, and the small screw that connected it had fallen off somewhere. Thinking of the strong sunshine in Turkey, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi are outdoors for a long time, and it is quite inconvenient to have no sunglasses. So Yunluo asked the shopkeeper for help, and wanted to find a temporary replacement for a pin or something, and use it first.

Wait until you get home. Not wanting the shopkeeper to take Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to a clock repair shop in the depths of the town, the apprentice searched for a long time in the tool box, and actually found a screw of the right size, and Yunluo's glasses were intact. This rare shop reminds Yunluo of the watch repair shop in the movie "Walter Defends Sarajevo".

In fact, some parts of this town seem to have some of the Bosnia-Herzegovina flavors of the movie, maybe they are all secular Islam. Remembering a local businessman in Selcuk who claimed to have been to China, he deliberately emphasized to Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi that the Turks are Islamic, Muslim, but not Arab.

Yunluo thought that what he didn't emphasize was peaceful, not radical. Compared with the coastal cities that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi had just walked, the crocus was obviously conservative. How tempting freshly baked bread is 1, 2 lira a. Fragrant. Can't believe in temptation, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi want to spend 2 lira to buy a big one.

The owner thought that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi couldn't eat it, so he recommended 1 lira. It's delicious. In the safranbolu-Siddlelik hills, the beauty of slow life in that remote mountain village, saffron is finally seen, and its roots are soaked in the water, perhaps more appropriately called seeds. The stamens of saffron have two colors: red and yellow.

After drying, it is the so-called tonic that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi often buy, which is also called saffron in China. 20--30 lira/g, red is better than yellow. There are certainly a lot of tourists and purchases from Treasure Island and South Korea, and there are many advertisements in Korean and traditional Chinese characters here, and there is a special emphasis on the popularity of Treasure Island people.

When buying crocus, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi also tried to bargain with the store, but the store refused to give a little discount, but kept introducing Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to the difference between different prices. Thinking of being better to themselves, Yunluo and Natasha both bought a few boxes of more expensive crocus.

The store was happy for a while. gave Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi 2 boxes of hand cream. Wander among the small shops, try the gummies of this house, try the dried fruits of that house, see the various souvenirs made of tin, and watch the handmade gourd lanterns. I casually greeted the many backpackers on this street, thinking that it would be a forever passing.

I don't want to turn a corner and meet on another street. Like old friends, they show each other that a Japanese boy with long hair has been staying here for two nights. Say you love the smiles of the locals the most. Yunluo didn't have such a high level as him, and just wanted to find a place where he could see the entire town.

The boy pointed to Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi in the direction of the hills. There is a park on the hills of Hiddlelik. 2 lira/person, watching the light and shooting the ancient town in the morning should be the best location. However, when Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi arrived, there was no one at the entrance, and they saved a few lira.

The yellow building in the distance is the museum where Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi went in the morning. If the sky was bluer and there were white clouds, what a beautiful picture it would be. Yunluo greedily thinks that this kind of traditional architecture can be found in other parts of Turkey, but the saffron stands out because the architecture of the whole ancient town is uniform, well-preserved, and diverse.

Mosques, baths, bell towers, and thousands of dwellings, as well as the alleys that connect them. Also known as the Living Fossil of the Ottoman Empire, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. Nice locals, a western face of water.

There is a semi-open-air restaurant on the top of the hill of Siddlelik, with wooden tables and chairs, wooden fences, and wooden roofs, the restaurant not only has a good view, but the proprietors are also kind, whether they consume or not, they can sit and watch the scenery, and their headscarves are very good-looking. Coming down from Hiddlelik Hill, I was thinking about going for money.

When I arrived at the bank, I found that Yunluo's passport was missing. This surprise is not trivial, Yunluo carefully recalled all the details after check-in, the only possibility is that he did not collect his passport after checking in, and stayed at the owner of the homestay. Natasha didn't think that was a possibility, as she had taken the passport from her boss.

After taking a look, it was given to Yunluo, and Yunluo should have been put away. This detail fell into agreement, but then there was no impression. With a hint of luck and a frustration, he returned to his residence. When I saw the proprietress take out Yunluo's passport from the drawer, it was really a stone and fell to the ground, steady and relaxed.

The proprietress said that Yunluo put her passport on the table in the living room, and a guest found it and handed it to her. The joy and relaxation of getting the passport made Yunluo refreshed and energetic. I want to walk outside the ancient town to see the wall where the World Heritage Site is written, and I want to climb the hill next to the mosque and wait for the sunset.

Natasha, who was already very tired, heard that Yunluo still had so many plans, and immediately collapsed, lazy in the fluffy cushions and refused to get up again. Yunluo first walked out of the ancient town and saw locals at the entrance of the town who were releasing water to wash the streets. I walked a short distance, turned a few corners, and didn't see the wall.

Afraid that he would get lost, he returned to the ancient town. Although the hillside of the mosque is not high, there are no steps, and the latter section is a very narrow dirt road, and there are no people, so it is difficult to climb. The top of the mountain is not high enough, and the view is not very good, so I took a few photos and came down. On the way down, I met two Westerners who expressed considerable interest in the summit.

But after looking at the photos taken by Yunluo, he retreated. Yunluo this harmful photography technology, the ancient bathroom, I don't know why. This shot reminds Yunluo of "Walter Defends Sarajevo", which is clearly two places with completely different styles and atmospheres. Maybe it's the pigeons in the square that are constantly flying.

Let's get close to the scene when Shedd died. There are so many glass bottles on the top of the bathroom, I wonder if it is for ventilation? The scarves of local women are mostly colorful, more like a decoration. Yunluo also learned to tie silk scarves, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like a place where farmers who went to Inner Mongolia to plant trees planted Turkish flags.

It is the place where the clouds have just climbed up, and the memorial is aggravated with the clouds. It seems that the sunset can't wait. Calling Natasha, going to the hammam "horse killing chicken" and waiting for Natasha's casual pedestrian Turkish bath, including a massage of 34 lira / person, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi also have no ability to bargain.

The whole bathroom was washed by Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi. The marble in the middle is hot and comfortable to lie on. The aunt who washed it was also careful, but the warm water that came down from the basin and the massage techniques were a little rough. When I got out of the bathroom, it was completely dark. I went to the shopping street and found a restaurant.

asked for a can of roast beef, the beef is wrapped in grape leaves, slightly sour, I can't say it's good or bad; Roasted eggplant with tomatoes is quite delicious. I also tasted the vegetable sauce that the shopkeeper ate himself, and then later, under this minaret, an open-air coffee, asked for two cups of apple tea. Natasha, who was "full of wine and food", suddenly offered to take a night train to Istanbul.

This saves a lot of time. Yunluo was inspired by her spirit, and it seemed that the Turkish bath could really relieve her fatigue. But it's still a little tiring to think about the night train for two nights in a row. Moreover, it is impossible to return the hotel, and this traditional house Yunluo has not lived in the real sense. Thinking about these realities, Natasha no longer insisted.

While sitting at coffee, I met many students who had come from Central Asia to study, Kazakh, Turkmenistan, etc., and Natasha's invincible Russian played a role. There is a tourist school near Saffron, where competitions are often held. As a reward, the winners will be able to come here for further study and study, mainly in the Central Asian region.

These students were very happy, chatting with Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi, and asked Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi for Chinese coins as souvenirs. Also to express their affection for Turkey. It seems that Turkey is still very influential in these stans. Directions: Take a bus from Safranbolu (Saffron City) to Istanbul.

Taxi to the hotel in the old town. Walk to Eminonu Pier with Galata Bridge. I planned to see Istanbul day and night in Galata Tower, but because of the delay on the road and the large number of people queuing up to climb the tower, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi only saw the night, which was beautiful. The Eminonu Pier and Galata Bridge are the places that Yunluo believes best showcase Istanbul's diverse flair.

The cost of family hotel to Safranbolu Otogar taxi 16 lira, Safranbolu to Istanbul Otogar 50 lira/person, Istanbul otogar to taxi 70 lira, Galata Tower ticket 185 lira/person and a full table of food.

After Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi sat down, the hostess was still on the eggs and fruits. Traditional living room with a feel to traditional kitchen. When Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were eating, the male owner walked downstairs in a suit and leather shoes, and breakfast was already set on the kitchen table. I went out after a hurried meal, and it seemed that I was an office worker.

The inn is completely run by the hostess. American backpackers, who love to travel, travel for three months every few years to several different countries. His last stop was Mongolia, and after leaving Turkey, he was going to Romania. As he introduced, he showed the photos he took along the road, in addition to the scenery, there was a Mongolian huntress who was deeply impressed.

He also introduced that his son is now working in Beijing, and he himself has been to Huaguo many times. Compared with his experience, Yunluo pays more attention to his appearance. Before he introduced himself, Yunluo had thought he was a local. After he identified himself as a tourist, Yunluo thought he was Iranian.

Hehe, maybe just like Westerners can't tell who is who when they see Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi look the same when they look at Westerners. However, Yunluo still felt that with his appearance, especially his obvious beard, if he was wrapped in a white robe, who would be able to tell if he was "bin Laden".

While Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were chatting, the hostess had been listening quietly. When I left the inn, I found that the crocs were raining lightly, and the wet streets and alleys were indescribably quiet when I went out of town, and finally saw this iconic wall, but this was in Turkish, and English was maybe on the other side, but it was raining.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi didn't bother to go down any further, this was taken at the window of the taxi, and the angle was not good. Got on the bus at 9 o'clock, the old town gradually drifted away in the drizzle, and took the metro bus for the first time, the internal conditions were better than those of other companies, and the seats were relatively spacious and comfortable.
