Hundreds of stone cones, ranging in height from a few tens of meters to more than 100 meters, are closely arranged and gathered together as if to take a group photo. People were amazed at the spectacle of this magnificent www.biquge.info and vividly called it "fairy chimney (y)". The unique rock formations of the area are responsible for the formation of chimneys, a thin and hard layer of basalt on the surface.

The white and soft tuff below was protected from wind and rain, and over time it has formed its current form. The cone is weathered from top to bottom, but it looks like a forest of stones, piercing into the sky. Goreme Open Air Museum (-airmuseum), if you come to Cappadocia you can only visit one attraction.

That must be the Goreme Open Air Museum. Turkey's World Heritage Site is a complex of buildings built on the basis of natural landscapes, including cave churches, chapels and monasteries. Located in a steep valley, the open-air museum encapsulates the nature, history and humanity of Cappadocia, bringing together more than 30 cave churches of different sizes.

These churches were originally built by Christians who had migrated to Cappadocia to escape political persecution. In order to hide people's eyes, they hollowed out the mountain to build a church, and the interior is carved with colorful frescoes, which are beautiful. Some of the more famous churches are Apple Church and St. Barbara Church.

Snake (Yilanli) Church, Dark Church (Karanlikkilise), Tokali Church Buckle (Tokali) Church, Elnazar Church, Slipper Church Carikli (Sandals) Church, Hidden Church Saklichurch, etc. I want to take in all these views.

It will take about two hours. 【Start of the trip】Wake up at 3:30 a.m. At 4 o'clock, the hot air balloon car had already come to the door and was waiting for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. The hot air balloon that Nalan Shiqi and Yun settled was the company's kingflight, and it arrived at the hot air balloon company. Eat breakfast first.

Breakfast was buffet and varied. After breakfast, everyone was very much looking forward to the hot air balloon ride, walking outside and waiting for departure! Hot air balloon cars lined up for departure. Unfortunately, after waiting for about half an hour, the staff called everyone together.

After hearing him say the first word ly (unlucky). Yunluo knew that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's hot air balloon trip could only become a pity. The reason for the cancellation of the hot air balloon was because of weather issues. It looks good, but the wind is very strong, which affects the flight safety of the hot air balloon.

It's a pity, but when Nalan Shiqi and Yun fall back to the hotel. Chinese tourists in the same car told their experience, they came here 3 days ago, but due to the weather the first two days of the hot air balloon were canceled, they modified the itinerary in order to take the hot air balloon, waited here, the third day, that is, yesterday, finally able to fly.

However, there are too many tourists in the first two days, and it is necessary to meet the tourists who book on the day first. So it wasn't their turn, and it was canceled today due to weather problems, which was simply devastating! Listen to their experiences. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo suddenly felt that they were much stronger than them, and besides, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had once ridden in a hot air balloon on the Gold Coast of Australia.

So the expectation of the hot air balloon was not so strong, although this time it was not done, but it saved 500 euros (4200 yuan). June 2014 price), and this regret also indicates that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo will come to Turkey again. Hot Air Balloon Tips: Hot air ballooning is very dependent on the weather.

And it's hard to predict the weather in advance. So if you must take a hot air balloon ride, schedule more time in Cappadocia, or make a backup plan. Some people may just go to some places once in a lifetime, but this trip to Turkey has left more regrets for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo due to holidays, language and weather.

So Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo felt that they would come back in the future. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went back to the hotel to catch up on sleep, slept until 8 o'clock, got up and ate another breakfast in the hotel (no white food), and then waited at the hotel for the red line tour group to accept Lan Shiqi and Yunluo. The green line Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had a good time the day before, and I look forward to today's red line being the same company.

But after the car came, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo saw that the red line was another travel agency, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were accompanied by 4 Americans, 3 Indians, 1 Japanese and 2 other Chinese. The first stop of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo is still the first stop of the Green Line yesterday, the whole territory of Goreme.

This time, Yunluo looked at the land from a different angle. Next, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo come to Pasha Bey, which has the most beautiful and lovely fairy chimneys in the whole of Cappadocia. There is a low hill that can be climbed from the side so that you can see the chimneys of the immortals from a higher vantage point.

The landscape on all sides is spectacular. All sorts of strange rocks. It seems to be raining over there. Chimney of the Immortals. This is the hill with this view, so be sure to come up and see it. Chimneys of various shapes. In addition to these chimneys, there are many large caves. However, due to the group, the time in the mountains was relatively long at the beginning.

So in the end, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo didn't have enough time, they didn't see it all, and if they came by themselves, they could stay here for a little longer. See a big dandelion, it's really big! Next, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo came to Davrant Canyon. Look, there's a camel there.

Davrant Canyon has the best shaped volcanic cone and is also the densest volcanic cone attraction in Cappadocia. Admire these volcanic cones like a child looking at the clouds, with seals, dolphins, Napoleon's hats, kissing birds, the Virgin Mary and various reptile shapes. If you have more time, you can go up and see for yourself.

Most volcanic cones are topped with dark hard stones that protect the cone from weathering, while the lower circles fall apart first, a process known as differential erosion. By noon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived at Avanos, a town with many pottery shops.

Since Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are tour groups, they usually get off the bus and walk to a pottery shop, and then get on the bus and leave. But if you're coming on your own, you can take a walk around the town, and the alleys are lined with dilapidated Greek-style houses. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo go to a pottery shop, and the clerk shows Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo how to sit on pottery.

It is said that the elder who is making pottery has been engaged in pottery for more than 50 years. But aesthetically, the variety of pottery here is beautiful. But tourist attractions, you know, let you shop, so the price is not cheap, just look at it. Yunluo saw that the book said that there was a shop in this town called Chezgalip, and there was a hair museum in it.

It has a collection of 16,000 samples of women's hair, which is very strange, but Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are not in this store. After lunch, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went to one of the most important attractions of the day, the Goreme Open Air Museum, which is also the most famous museum in the entire Cappadocia region, and is a must-see attraction here, which takes about 2 hours to visit.

One of Turkey's World Heritage Sites, the Goreme Open Air Museum was originally an important Byzantine monastic settlement that once housed about 20 monks and was transformed into a pilgrimage site from the 17th century. The entire complex of cave churches, chapels and monasteries is located on a hill 1 km from Goreme.

Here is another unfortunate thing, that is, when Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo visited this most important scenic spot, it was raining, and it was very heavy, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo did not bring umbrellas, which led to a long time in the stone cave to hide from the rain, and many places were withdrawn without visiting, which is a pity.

However, compared to the cancellation of the hot air balloon, this is nothing, because Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo thought that they would definitely come back in the future. Visiting Tips: A must-see attraction in Caladocia, plan your visit for at least 2 hours. Below, Yunluo will list what Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo saw.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see the vert, which is also the most famous building of the museum. The next step should be to visit St. Basel's Chapel and Apple Church in order. The Chapel of St. Basel, which commemorates one of the most important saints of Cappadocia, has a portrait of St. Basel on the left side of the main hall and a Maltese cross on the right.

Nearby, St. George and St. Theodore are slaying down an evil dragon that symbolizes paganism. There are frescoes of Bible stories in the Apple Church, which are very well preserved. However, because when Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived, it was just in time for the peak of the afternoon team, so the tour guide took Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo forward first to visit other buildings.

However, it rained heavily later, so I didn't go to these two places. Save it for next time. This is the Dark Church, and if you enter, you have to pay another 10 lira (30 yuan) for the entrance fee. The Dark Chapel is small, but it is full of beautiful frescoes that are worth the time to visit, and there is an additional fee to visit because it supports the huge cost of restoration of the church.

At the same time, it is also to reduce the number of tourists and better protect the frescoes. The Dark Chapel is one of the best-preserved churches in Turkey, hence the name Dark Chapel because of the few windows that originally existed. You can't take pictures inside the dark church. Coming out of this church, the rain had already begun to fall, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo hurried through the other caves, constantly sheltering from the rain. (To be continued)
