Chapter 313: Gentle Departure
By the way, there is usually a cemetery next to the mosque in Tuguo, and the tombstones are in front and behind the curtain, and depending on the identity of the person buried, the top of the stone monument will be carved with hats of different shapes to commemorate it, including literati, politicians, and soldiers who have lived their lives. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In front of the open space overlooking the entire Golden Horn and the strait.
The view is so beautiful. Maybe it's because it's a big city, and the air isn't so airy, but it's still refreshing to see seagulls flying in the sky so far away. Watch out for the locals selling books to you in the vicinity of Suleiman, keep your wallets!, and come to the inside of the mosque.
The old woman, who sat in the corner of the minaret, sat there from the time Snow Falling and Liu Jingshu entered the mosque until they left. There are free Quran verses in the mosque to read. The largest and quietest, it is not as famous as the Blue Mosque.
But it's so cozy to stay inside, quiet, less crowded, quietly admiring the interior decoration and watching the locals come here to pray. The dome is also very beautiful. Everything was pleasant, except that it was a little cold which was true. Well, Xueluo is a girl in distress, and this time she really looks like a refugee.
The highest university in Turkey, equivalent to Peking University or Tsinghua University, is not closed inside, and you can see some colleges, and most of the people who come and go on the road are students. Walking and chatting with Liu Jingshu all the way.
I came to the main gate of Ida. I was taking pictures, and I was caught by a student at the door for an interview. Two women and one man, the male classmate was in charge of the video, and the girl asked Xueluo and Liu Jingshu some prepared questions, such as why they came to Turkey, what they liked to eat, where they went, and whether they would travel to Turkey.
I feel that the English level of the students of the University is not as high as expected, maybe they are more nervous than Xueluo and Liu Jingshu? Invite them to take a group photo as a souvenir, this is the third time to take a photo with the Turkish girl. After leaving the university, the next destination was the more remote Kola Church.
It was also when she was about to take the bus that Liu Jingshu found that the money in her wallet was missing (she was taken away when she was buying books), a big loss! Once again, I would like to remind you to pay attention to the safety of your belongings when you are away from home! No way, find an ATM to withdraw money, and take the tram to Kola Church.
Speaking of the Kola Church, it is so far away! But as a representative church of Byzantine mosaic art, Xueluo wants to say that it is worth it to go so far! Xueluo and Liu Jingshu have not studied how to get there by bus, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu took the tram and then walked over, and they can also see the ancient city wall by the way! There is a station when you walk out of the university.
Tram1 to Aksaray transfer to METRO1 to Topkapi-Ulubatli, walk a few hundred meters out of the station to change to M6 line, take a stop to Vatan to Edirnekapi, after getting off the bus Google walked for more than ten minutes to arrive, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu are curves to save the country to go, because I really don't understand the bus lines of the country, there is no stop sign and no line to see.
I didn't ask any passers-by, so I just looked at the tram track map and decided to go. When you transfer to M6, you can see the ancient city wall and beacon castle, which are also the monuments of the year, because I have watched the Turkish movie "Conquest", so I am interested in this, and I don't know if it is really this section, a very long ancient city wall.
The walls have been renovated, so the male compatriots are probably more interested. THE PICTURE BELOW IS THE VATAN STATION, ALTHOUGH IT IS ONLY ONE STOP AWAY FROM EDIRNEKAPI, BUT THIS STATION IS FAR AWAY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WALK, REMEMBER TO TAKE THE TRAIN. Arrived at the station, get off the bus and walk, look at the station name on the photo wall, Liu Jingshu is still looking for something hot to eat.
It's a pity that there aren't any hot restaurants other than snacks. Crossing the road with the Tuguo girl, the sun is very good, the temperature is not high, and on the way to the Kola Church, all the way is downhill. Most of the surrounding areas are residential, so you can feel the different atmosphere away from the tourist areas. You can't go wrong with following Google and coming to the Church of Kora.
Museum passes are available. Although the inner main hall is under repair and is not open, the exterior is already shocking enough. It is one of the few examples of Byzantine mosaic art other than Hagia Sophia. And compared to Hagia Sophia's high ceilings and dilapidated frescoes, the Kola Church is not only close, but also more complete and visible.
It's really beautiful to put a small picture! Old Jesus, who introduced him, said that he had a look of pity. I didn't see it. The top of the ceiling of the church of Cora features the Virgin Mary and Jesus as a child. There are also images of the Virgin Mary (I forgot her name) giving birth to the Virgin Mary, and the Blessed Virgin Mary giving birth to Jesus.
and various other portraits of stories. Unfortunately, there is no Chinese guide, and part of the information is learned through the English introduction outside the church, Liu Jingshu's English is excellent! These murals in the Kola Church have gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes, and some have peeled off. Before coming to Turkey, the Kola Church once watched a video about the Byzantine mosaic making process at Station B.
These mosaics are made by crushing pieces of colored glass after the furnace has been fired. In particular, the golden mosaics need to be painted with gold leaf and then cooled, and the workers will stick them on the walls one by one according to the color and pattern requirements. From the gradient of color, the three-dimensional silhouette and folds of the clothes are reflected.
It's enough to see how labor-intensive. A lot of the mosaics in the church of Kola have peeled off. It's old, I don't know if it's because of natural weathering or because of looting or destruction by later generations. Golden Madonna of the Church of Kora. The luxury of being drunk on gold. Statue of Jesus in the church of Kora, below which is the Virgin and Jesus. The church is not big, if not very small.
And partially closed for repairs. But Xueluo thought that if there was a book for Xueluo to slowly look at (maybe there is ?) on the LP), or there was a Chinese tour guide to explain, to understand the stories in the portrait, the harvest would be even greater. After visiting the Kola Church, I saw that the map was not very far from the Golden Horn, and I didn't want to continue walking back to the Tram.
It was decided to walk to the pier of the Golden Horn. While waiting for Liu Jingshu's convenience, he casually walked to a small road, and saw such a large green belt outside, and there were residential buildings in the distance. A cosy scene of local life. There are also cats who take the initiative to drill out to show goodwill, rolling and begging for touch. Yukiki would like to introduce this small shop!
The owner is an old man and an artist, quite kind, and does not refuse to take pictures of his works by Xueluo. All the works in the store are painted by the grandfather himself, the first floor is the sales area and studio, and the second floor is the living room. The works are all Turkish-style cultural and architectural landscapes, in addition to paintings, there are also commemorative T-shirts.
Small commodities, etc., Xueluo and Liu Jingshu like it very much. It's next to the Kola Church, and it's ten meters to the right of the church, and I was attracted by the flowers at the door when I found this small shop. The entrance is full of works by old people. On top hangs a Turkish whirling dance figurin.
At that time, there happened to be a couple of tourists from Spain shopping inside. It's full of old people's paintings. The brick-red stairwell, up is the old man's living room, and there is no further up. The works are large and small, and the small ones such as this palm-sized picture frame painting are all landmarks of the country.
The old man's desk, the paintings on the wall are not completely square, but this slight skew is full of life. The old man's studio, behind which is a small garden. Life is very quiet and the creative environment is great. Istan art emphasizes meticulous brushstrokes, and many details of the pattern are outlined little by little with a magnifying glass.
Turkish whirling dance, a few strokes to outline the agility of the dervish ah, of course, the price of the works in the store is not cheap, the price is between dozens to hundreds, interested do not miss, when Xueluo and Liu Jingshu praised his works, the old man modestly said that he is still a student, in fact, in terms of the fruits of labor, decades of artistic accumulation.
The work is already very good, so these paintings are actually not expensive. I said goodbye to the old man's shop, I was hungry, and I walked all the way, so I randomly found a small shop to eat. There is a picture in the first part of the previous article, which is more characteristic of slate barbecue. The small details outside the shop, it's almost half past two and I haven't eaten lunch yet. The decoration of the small shop, the twirling dancing figures.
It looks like the name of the store is on the disk? Fill your stomach and continue to walk towards the Golden Horn Pier, taking a few photos on the way. A SMALL SHOP THAT SELLS LARGE BREAD, A LOAF OF BREAD IS ESTIMATED TO LAST A DAY, AND FOLLOW GOOGLE TO SHUTTLE BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS, XUELUO LIKES THIS KIND OF COLORFUL HOUSE.
The old-fashioned car was parked next to the street, and Xueluo seriously doubted that such a car could still run on the road, and was sure that it would not drop parts while running, and that it would be possible to see the sea when it passed through the residential area! Xueluo loved the sea, and it was a little troublesome to cross the road, and the two stupid people waited for a green light on the sidewalk for a long time and still didn't, only to find out later that they had to cross the road.
You need to press the button on the lamppost to have a green light. Here I met a shoe shiner who dropped the shoe brush, you should pay attention, don't pick it up, and refuse him to give you a shoe shine to avoid being pitted. The wind in the Golden Horn is so strong that it freezes like a dog, but it's super beautiful! A large number of seagulls, and the snow is reluctant to leave!
Looking at the fluttering amplitude of the Turkish flag and the ripples of the sea level, you can see how strong the wind is. Cold and miserable. Golden Horn Golden Horn is smooth in the afternoon, the light is just right, but it is too cold, so I took a few photos in a hurry. Xueluo thought that there were big boats to sit on at this pier, but he didn't expect it to be just a few small speedboats. Although there are also routes displayed on Google.
Slightly disappointed, fortunately, the scenery is great, or happy. There's no way to take a boat tour of the Golden Horn in the Golden Horn, so go to Eminonu Pier early and wait for the Strait Sightseeing Ferry. Just crossing the road and passing by a bus stop, I saw that there was a bus stop, and the LED screen on the front of the car showed that the terminal was Eminonu Pier, so I walked back to take the bus decisively!
When waiting for the traffic light, the manhole cover is square, and the name of the city will be stamped on it. Walk back to the bus stop from here and wait for the bus, this small road has many cars, and the speed is also very fast, you have to press the green light demand button according to the rules, and wait for the car to stop and then cross the road. After standing at the station for a while, a bus came, and I didn't pay attention to how many roads.
As soon as I saw the name of the pier, I asked the driver if I could get there when I parked, and the driver nodded, what are you waiting for, and Ma Yoer got into the car. After the subway and tram, finally experience the bus. The bus crossed the bridge over the Golden Horn, circled most of the new city in Europe, and then drove across the Galatai Bridge.
Arrived at the terminal Eminonu Pier. It's good that I got a quick tour of the city on the bus again, after all, I'm going back home tomorrow. When I arrived at the pier, it was close to 4 o'clock, I got off the weather APP, checked the sunset time, and the sunset was around 5:15, and I was struggling to sit on a cruise ship at 4 or 5 o'clock, and I didn't want to wait.
Let's go right away and get on the 4 o'clock ferry. Europe on the left, Asia on the right, after waiting for the ferry for so long, the snow is falling on the Bosbruss! The Yeni Mosque is repairing the roof, and the trip has not had time to see the vespers, including the flock of pigeons that can be fed at the door. The pompous sightseeing boat is probably used to solicit business.
Won't drive a boat. The Galata Tower and the clouds on the other side are a scene that looks like something out of a comic. Galata Tower is moving, and the heart of Snow Fall is excited at this moment. I have seen so many strategies, and what I am most looking forward to is taking the ferry. Ever since the snow fell, I couldn't sit still.
The whole way up and down the stairs and bounced on the boat, the scenery is so beautiful! Yesterday I saw the interior of the new palace, and today I can see it in its entirety on the sea. Bosbrus Bridge, unfortunately the bow of the ship was stopped and could not reach the very front. It's time to cross the bottom of the bridge!
In the off-season, there are not many tourists on the whole ship, and it is not long before the boat starts, and before the sunset, everyone is afraid of the cold and hides in the inner cabin. The entire second floor is covered with snow, hahaha! The white dots are full of seagulls. The strait is connected to the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara.
The convection of the two seas brings an abundance of fish and jellyfish, and it also serves as the best hunting ground for seagulls. In the inner cabin of the cruise ship, the radio broadcasts the introduction of coastal attractions, the snow falls basically I don't understand, the inner cabin is warm, but it is dark, and I still like the sea outside. Liu Jingshu was not highly motivated, drank a cup of black tea, and fell asleep warmly.
He said that shaking was very comfortable, but he was very sleepy. In fact, the whole boat seems to be only the snow falling so bloody, jumping up and down all over the boat, drinking tea, caught a little brother, behind is the light reflected from the water surface, the little brother has its own appearance lights, haha! Liu Jingshu said that he may be a magical little brother from India. All the way to the direction of the Black Sea, the scenery on both sides is really beautiful.
