However, from some of the well-preserved exquisite stone pillars, you can still imagine the grandeur and momentum of those years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoGutber TowerBehind the ruins of the Gutber Tower Mosque is the future Areminar Tower. Under the backlit sunset of the Gutberg Tower, this piece is especially suitable for taking a picture of the back!

After leaving Gutub Tower, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu took a bus and then took a sudden trip to the best shopping mall in Delhi. In a country like India, where the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, such shopping malls are basically occasions for rich people to come and go, and all kinds of big brands are readily available.

Xueluo and Liu Jingshu are here simply because it is one of the few supermarkets in Delhi. Before departure, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu prepared a lot of sunscreen in advance to cope with the hottest season in India, but they hardly prepared anything to deal with the discomfort of eating. In fact, Xueluo is extremely adaptable, so he never brings any domestic food on the road.

No matter where you go, you can get used to it. But no, she couldn't stand the strange spice smell in India at all, let alone all kinds of naan and all kinds of cakes, so she couldn't stand it on the fourth day, so Xueluo and Liu Jingshu wanted to go to the supermarket to see if they could buy some food that they were used to. However, to find a hypermarket in India.

It's a very difficult thing to do. Most Indians shop through the ubiquitous Gilana. This is a kind of "shop" run by individuals, usually not too large, run by the owner himself, with a small number of goods, almost only a few locally produced food items. The scale of Girana is simply too small.

So much so that the wholesalers will not sign a supply agreement with them, so the price is not cheap. However, Indians are still willing to shop through Girana because Girana is reputable and even small orders are delivered to their doorstep. Another reason is that Indians usually don't have any other shops to choose from. As the second most populous country in the world.

The Indian government has been restricting foreign investment in its high-potential retail market to protect its retail sector, and India has not opened up its market for multi-brand supermarket chains such as Walmart, Metro and Carrefour. In early 2011, there was an introduction in the Indian government to gradually open up the market to allow foreigners to set up multi-brand stores in big cities.

This idea was met with a strike by millions of gilana shopkeepers and fierce opposition from their loyal customers, so the government categorically rejected the proposal. This is a screenshot of the official website, you can probably know what kind of mall this is, so India is really not as bad as you think!

The brands in the mall are relatively young, no different from the shopping malls that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu visit in China, and there are many restaurants, dessert shops and movie theaters. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu were delighted to find that there were Thai-style instant noodles sold in the supermarket, which was simply a blessing to the world! The supermarket also sold sausages, bacon and other meat products.

If you want to eat meat, this is a good place to buy it! In addition, there are very delicious ice creams sold in supermarkets! There seems to be no ice cream sold in China, but I personally think that this brand of ice cream is much better than Häagen-Dazs! There is a food court similar to the "big time" on the top floor of the mall. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu found a more popular one.

But when you look at this production, it's really no appetite. Do you know what's in the first photo?!Xueluo said, the is poisonous!It was very late to come out of the mall, there was no public transportation, and the mall was in the suburbs, and the surroundings were very desolate, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu called back to the hotel, because there were few cars around, so the price more than doubled, but fortunately, it was still more convenient!

The next morning, I went from the hotel to the train station, and Xueluo and Liu Jingshu also used it. There are several advantages to using it abroad, one is that you don't have to worry about being detoured by unscrupulous drivers, the second is that you don't have to bargain with the driver for most taxis at a fixed price, and the third is that the price is often cheaper than taking a taxi. So despite having withdrawn from the Dragon Country market.

But Xueluo still keeps this in his phone, and it is definitely a good helper on the go. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu will leave Delhi on a train from India to the next city, and the train station is really a great place to take pictures haha. Delhi is one of the most prosaic cities on the whole trip, it is not as strong as the personality, and it is not as developed and trendy as Mumbai.

It is not as colorful as several cities in Rajasthan. Eight imperial cities have been built on the land of Delhi in successive dynasties, so Delhi is full of ruins, but few of them are truly amazing. Of course, after all, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu only have a short stay of three days, if there is more time.

Searching for the monuments left behind by the kings is perhaps a better way to get around Delhi with the story and follow the map. Speaking of which, many people may ask what it is, but most people may be familiar with the "Taj Mahal", which has three World Heritage Sites from the 16th to the early 18th century.

It has always been the capital of India, but today the Taj Mahal may be the destination for everyone. Not too.

It takes more than 10 minutes to reach the hotel by car from the train station. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu chose the Radisson Blu Hotel because the hotel is close to the east gate of the Taj Mahal, but when they arrived, they found that it was not close, and it took at least twenty or thirty minutes to walk. When Xueluo and Liu Jingshu arrived at the hotel in a taxi, the car needed to undergo a chassis inspection, and the hotel doorman was also loaded with guns.

It felt very guarded. In the impression of snowfall, India should not reach this level of security, but it can also be seen that the hotel is very safe. After entering the courtyard of the hotel, guests and luggage also need to go through a security check, which is very strict. Even when the snow falls, every time you go to the lobby door to smoke a cigarette and then enter the lobby, you have to go through the security gate.

The girl at the front desk has a well-trained smiling face, and she responds to the questions of falling snow in a process-based manner, which is the disadvantage of chain hotels, lacking surprise and freshness. But a chain of star hotels also has the advantage of providing you with a room that you expect in a place like India where you never know what will happen in the next second.

The hotel should be some years old, but the maintenance is not bad. It's hard to imagine that you're in India when you enter the room, and the surroundings seem to be familiar with everyday life. The room area is relatively spacious, the two large beds are put together, no matter how you tumble it will not fall, but the disadvantage is that the bed is a little soft, and you will feel tired after a night's sleep.

The layout of the guest room is what Xueluo and Liu Jingshu usually look like when they see a four-star hotel, and this choice is the safest for friends who are not very accustomed to Indian style. The breakfast at the hotel is mostly Indian style, but there are also some Western dishes. Although the taste is average, being able to eat meat is already a blessing in India.

The next morning, after breakfast in the hotel restaurant, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu finally went to the Taj Mahal! The Taj Mahal "makes love more touching / Just make love more eternal / Even if it turns into nameless smoke / At the end of the story". Listening to Mayday's "Born for Love" Snow Fall began to hammer the text, and the Taj Mahal building is indeed made for love.

The building was built by Shah Jahan, the fifth monarch of the Mughal Empire, in memory of his second deceased wife, Ajmanbano, and the names of these ghosts are really hard to remember. It is rumored that this peerless beauty of Persian descent has skin like clotted fat, pink makeup and jade, blue and blue heart, bright and moving, probably like this, you can feel it at will.

In 1631, Aji Mambano died in childbirth to their fourteenth child, at the age of 39. It is said that Shah Jahan was extremely sad and turned white overnight. Drink the strongest wine, the person you love the most, and since the person you love the most is gone, let's build the coolest tomb!

The Taj Mahal began to be built in the same year, and it took 22 years to complete, with more than 20,000 top architects, mosaics, calligraphers, carvers and craftsmen from India, Persia, Turkey and Baghdad participating in the construction.

Agate from Baghdad and Yemen, gems from Sri Lanka, corals from Arabia, etc. as decorations. It's hard to imagine that you have so much to say, you just need to know it's cool and you can be spicy. Rumor has it that Shah Jahan had wanted to build a mausoleum of black marble like the Taj Mahal on the other side of the river.

However, his son Aurangzeb killed his brother and usurped the throne, and Shah Jahan was imprisoned in an octagonal pavilion not far from the Taj Mahal. After that, Shah Jahan could only look through the small window every day, sadly looking at the reflection of the Taj Mahal floating in the river in the distance, missing his departed beloved wife. When Aurangzeb found out, he brutally stabbed his father in both eyes.

He lost even this only solace. After Shah Jahan's death, his body was transported across the Yamuna River to the Taj Mahal and buried next to his beloved concubine, Ajmanbhanu. When it comes to usurpation of the throne, their family has this tradition! Shah Jahan's father, Jahangir, also usurped the throne of his grandfather Akbar, and after a generation, his son usurped his throne.

It's a game of thrones! History and stories aside, the building is fascinating from a purely appreciative point of view. Although the corrosion of acid rain had mottled the white marble, although the lack of protection had allowed the gems to be pried off the building, even though the stupid British governor had almost demolished the building to sell the marble.

Although I have seen this building countless times in TV, movie travelogue photos, when I actually saw it with my own eyes, the snow still fell in amazement and was indescribable, and all the flowery rhetoric felt unattainable. There is a mosque on the east and west sides, which are addressed in pairs, and the west one is used for Muslims to pray and prostrate.

The east side is mainly due to the symmetrical beauty of the building. Personally, I think the corners of these two mosques are the best angles to photograph the side of the Taj Mahal. If you want to take a photo at the "Diana Chair" in front of the Taj Mahal pool, it can be said that you can squeeze your scalp to shoot out the background and there are still a lot of people, so I turned around and came to the gate of the Taj Mahal for a group of six consecutive shots.

The four surrounding minarets rotate almost all year round, and if you go there, you can see the minaret without scaffolding.

That must be even more beautiful. The Taj Mahal is accessed from the platform of the mausoleum through an intricately designed staircase hidden within a plinth, where you can get an up-close look at the intricate details of the building. As an East Asian face, it is really difficult to be asked by Indians to take photos. Of course, Xueluo also likes to shoot them!

Entering the mausoleum of the Taj Mahal, you can see that there are two sarcophagi in the screen, one large and one small, the one of Shah Jahan and the smaller one of Ajmanbano, and the two of them are actually buried in the catacombs below the sarcophagus. In the lobby of the Taj Mahal, a security guard volunteered to introduce Xueluo, shining a flashlight on the decorative petals surrounding the coffin screen.

As you move the flashlight, you can see the petals of the light brighten one by one, which is very beautiful. Although it was not possible to take pictures indoors, Xueluo still secretly took two photos. Don't despise Xueluo, after all, all the Indians around you are taking pictures as if nothing happened, Xueluo is already very restrained Haha Speaking of Indians, I really envy them.

Do you know how pitiful the Taj Mahal ticket is?!1,000 rupees (about 100 soft girl coins) for foreigners, 20 rupees (about 2 soft girl coins) for locals! However, the beauty of the Taj Mahal is definitely worth the ticket price! As mentioned earlier, Shah Jahan was imprisoned in his later years, and this castle is 2.5 kilometers away from the Taj Mahal.

It was once the seat of the imperial city of the Mughal dynasty. The appearance is very majestic and magnificent, although the palace in the city, although it has gone through a long time, most of them have fallen into disrepair, but you can see the momentum of this castle, it has not reduced the majesty of the year! There may be too many monuments in India.

A small dilapidated building on the side of the street may be hundreds of years old. So the monuments here are not unattainable or unreachable (even the country's most famous Taj Mahal ticket is only 2 yuan), it is a part of people's lives, and you can get closer to it. And in the country of Snow Fall and Liu Jingshu.

Most of the monuments are packaged as expensive attractions, making Xueluo and Liu Jingshu feel far away, even farther away than the history books! I love the light and shadow of this photo. It is obviously a monument from hundreds of years ago, but it reveals a kind of life in your own backyard.

Naturally, there is no sense of disobedience, and Xueluo especially likes this state. The intricate carvings and designs on the walls still faintly preserve the grandeur of the past. It was originally built of red sandstone, but there are many white marble buildings inside the castle.

The buildings were built during the Shah Jahan period, and his preference for white marble is evident. The setting sun shines in front of the Hall of Thousand Pillars, and the layers of door arches are intricate and exquisite. This is the octagonal pavilion where Shah Jahan was imprisoned, imagine the scene where he looked at the Taj Mahal, it is really loveless!

Before sunset, the snow falls to the Moonlight Gardens on the other side of the Yamuna River, where it is rumored that Shah Jahan once wanted to build a black Taj Mahal for himself. Although the last wish is not fulfilled, this place is indeed a great place to see the Taj Mahal. If you want to photograph the reflection of the Taj Mahal, the Moonlight Garden is the best place, but you have to come early in the morning.

Before the sun rises, the calm waters of the Yamuna River resemble a mirror. When the snow falls, I can't get up in the morning, so I can only admire the master's masterpieces. Due to their lazy sleep, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu gave up their trip to another World Heritage Site, Fatahpur Sikri, and when they woke up, Xueluo took a camera and began to wander the streets and alleys at random.
