Chapter 304: The Shadow of the Sun's Light

Airplanes flew through the sky, the city in the sky, the snow falling at dusk under the rain and Liu Jingshu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt the moment the snow falls on the night in a foreign land, feeling you, flickering light and dark. Before going to Turkey, it happened that the music was looping "Castle in the Sky". Turkey, a mysterious realm, a country with a unique humanity formed by the collision of Eastern and Western civilizations.

The only country that straddles the two continents of Europe and Asia attracts the immersive scene of snow falling. Even if it is turbulent now, it can't stop the snow falling yearning. During the 12-day trip, 9 and a half days were in Turkey, and we visited four cities: 、、、 Izmir.

Snow Fall and Liu Jingshu once flew over the Mediterranean, reveled in the blue of the Aegean Sea, lingered in the monuments, and wandered away in the modern city. FINISH is a word that the people of Turkey have re-taught Xueluo to learn, and it covers a variety of meanings, including finish, sold out, closed, none, and end.

THE TRIP TO THE LAND HAS BEEN COMPLETED, BUT THE MEMORY WILL NEVER BE FINISHED. I came back and sorted out nearly 5,000 photos, each of which was like a dream, and the snow fell in the dream to such a beautiful place. BACKGROUND MUSIC: TURKISH SINGER TARKAN-BEKLE SHARES SOME OF THE IMAGES OF TURKEY THROUGH THE EYES OF SNOWFALL.

The first part is full of dry goods, including visas, air tickets, domestic currency, phone cards, dressing guides, itinerary plans, Turkish transportation strategies, etc., sub-catalogs, and the most practical information will be given to you first. The next part is Turkey in the eyes of the snow, the most real record of the experience of this trip, there are many pictures and texts, you can enjoy it if you are interested.

If the shooting is not good, the old mage please laugh it off. If you need to understand the corresponding section, please jump directly from the table of contents. Part 1 - Hold it steady, it's all dry goodsAbout Turkey's security issuesNo matter which travel destination you go to, you must first ensure your own safety. Compared to other countries, Turkey is much more secure.

1. Regarding the explosion, the current situation in Turkey is turbulent, the Kurdish separatist forces in the country have organized a number of bomb attacks, there are also conflicts with Syria and Iraq, and the forces of the Islamic State in the country. After returning home, explosions occurred at the Besiktas Stadium and explosions at Kayseri, both of which were directed at public officials and affected a small number of bystanders.

The Russian ambassador to Turkey was shot dead in Ankara. The security situation in Turkey as a whole is not optimistic, and the best advice is to wait for the situation to stabilize before going, and choose the western coastal cities of Turkey, avoid the volatile areas in the southeast, and if you want to travel in the near future, avoid staying in crowded places and stay away from public officials such as the police.

2. On this trip, the refugees only encountered Syrian refugees cleaning public toilets at the mosque near the station in the small town of Serik, and did not encounter them in other places. In Izmir, I encountered children who were forcibly peddling tissues, and there were women and children begging near the pier, not sure if they were refugees.

It is also advisable to stay away from the southeast of the country, and as for almsgiving, please consider it at your own discretion according to the situation, and pay attention to safety to prevent "giving one to three" to cause trouble. 3. Regarding the Islamic country, which is an Islamic country with more than 90+ + people who are Muslims, there are 5 fixed prayers every day, except for food, no pork, duck meat, etc., and the female part is wrapped in a headscarf.

It is not much different from other countries in daily life. As for the taboos on the color of clothing mentioned in other guides, there is no obvious feeling, and Xueluo does not pay special attention to such issues. Fourth, about thieves and liars, the people of the country are generally hospitable and helpful, but Asian faces are very, very easy targets for thieves and liars!

Be careful not to believe in low-priced goods, don't go to the bars of Istiklal Street at night, don't trust someone to show you the way with great enthusiasm, don't agree to the advice of someone who takes the initiative to talk to you on the road to go to their shop, and don't help pick up shoe brushes that have fallen off near you by a shoe-shiner. It is advisable to keep cash in several places.

Don't leave large amounts of cash out for others to see when paying, these lessons are learned from the lessons of previous people's money. One is that when you visit the old city, there is an old man with cloudy eyes who will take the initiative to explain the history and monuments to you and take you to the local mosque.

At first, I thought it was the hospitality of the local elderly, but at the end of the farewell handshake asked you for 20LT guide fee, please pay attention. The second is in, I met two men peddling travel books, the price is very cheap, it is recommended not to buy, if you want to buy, please pay special attention when paying, and hold on to your wallet.

Put your wallet away and put it in your pocket before you take the books to avoid stealing money from your wallet when the other person pushes you to give you more books. The third is to encounter the "shoe shiner" in the Golden Horn, thanks to the strategy of the predecessors, Liu Jingshu was prevented from falling into the pit in time. Visa Turkey has been exempting from other complicated formalities such as Schengen since the opening of e-visas last year, making it simpler than Southeast Asian visas.

As long as you have a passport, go directly to the Internet, and fill in the information on the Chinese page. Payment (UnionPay is supported) $60, $0.7 handling fee per transaction, and the visa is issued in a few minutes. With the ticket, you can really go and pay attention to the information. Fill in the name, including the name in English (pinyin capitalization), and the date of entry should be earlier than the date of arrival of the plane.

After receiving the mailbox, print it out and bring it with your passport. Although the visa is printed with the requirement to show the hotel, return ticket, and at least 50 US dollars per day in Turkey (the word is too small to pay attention to the snow fall, and no one mentioned the strategy before, it was reminded by the staff when the international flight checked in, and there was only RMB on him at that time.

There is not a dime in the lira, dollars and euros, and I don't care about it), but the actual entry customs did not check these at all, and checked the passport and visa and released it. Print out the visa. Just bring your passport with you. It is understood that there are direct flights or connecting flights to Turkey in other places.

This time, I chose to go to Turkey and departed from the next province, and I chose Aeroflot, which was transferred to Moscow and returned, with 4052RMB/person (including insurance). Ctrip can go anywhere, and various agent APPs can get it. Basically, the transfer of 3000-5000RMB round trip is the current normal range, and Xueluo and Liu Jingshu booked tickets a month in advance.

It is said that Qatar Airways sometimes has a big promotion to get a special price of 3200, and the two girls in Guangcheng who met on this trip are 3200 tickets, and they are envious and crying in Doha, but they are booked three months in advance. For a direct flight, it takes 11 hours, and this transfer takes 19 hours for the outbound flight and 13 hours for the return flight. The advantage of a transit is that it's cheap.

You can also go to the duty-free shop, move your muscles and continue to fly, (Aeroflot can still arrive early in good weather, and Xueluo and Liu Jingshu arrived in Guangcheng 1 hour earlier on the return trip, and there is a feeling of earning); the disadvantage is that you sacrifice a certain amount of travel time, and you have to bear the risk of delay when you choose Aeroflot in winter. Of course, please feel free to fly non-stop local tyrants.

Second, compared with the consumption level of Turkey's domestic flights, Turkey's domestic aircraft is a conscience price! There is a strange place in the country, and there are direct flights back and forth with major cities, but it is more troublesome to go back and forth between major cities.

It is recommended to take a bus. 【Turkish domestic airline】Atlas Jet Airlines. The two trips on this trip: --, Izmir--, are booked on ONURAIR, and they are booked on the official website before going abroad, and they need to pay with a VISA or MasterCard credit card, and they buy a package with checked luggage.

The ticket price is basically 180-300 yuan/person, and it takes about 1 hour to arrive. PS, ONURAIR'S AIRPLANE BURGER IS EXTREMELY UNPALATABLE, WITH A STRANGE SOUR TASTE OF SALTY CHEESE. If the luggage is not heavy, do not choose the 20KG meal package. The currency of the country is a country with a higher level of consumption than the dragon country, and its legal tender is the new lira (TL).

According to the exchange rate during the snowfall in Turkey, 1TL ≈ 2.06 yuan, and a few days after returning home, I found that it had fallen to 1.9. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's trip, including paragliding, all used lira to settle food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the rest was by card.

There is no need to exchange euros in advance, after all, in Turkey, the most direct and cost-effective is to use lira. TIPS: 1. There was a strategy to introduce Huaxia Bank Card before, in fact, as long as the savings card of your local local commercial bank supports global withdrawals for free, there is no limit to the number of transactions, which is more flexible than Huaxia Card only the first free payment per day.

Withdraw money in Turkey to find [Garanti Bank], the bank does not charge machine fees, so there is no handling fee for withdrawing money at its ATM, real-time exchange rate. Some ATMs at other banks in Turkey charge a fee, so avoid them unless you need them urgently. 2. Garanti Bank has a lobby after international arrival at the European airport.

If you go to the right after picking up your luggage, you will see many shops, and you can see various rental car counters, rentacars, phone cards, etc., so it is very easy to find. There is a Chinese page for withdrawals, you can withdraw up to 1000TL at a time, and automatically configure small denominations, like. Garanti Bank, I forgot to take a picture at the airport at the time, and I found a picture on the Internet.

The first money taken from Ataturk Sun Yat-sen International Airport in Turkey. Ataturk Sun Yat-sen International Airport domestic phone card this time to Turkey did not rent mobile WIFI, because it is Unicom, international roaming to 56 yuan / day, not cost-effective, decided to buy a SIM card in Turkey.

TURKCELL, TURKTELECOM, VODAPHONE, TURKTELECOM, TURKTELECOM, ETC., ARE SOLD AFTER THE INTERNATIONAL ARRIVAL, THE SIGNBOARD IS VERY LARGE, THE PRICE OF TURKTELECOM IS 0TL, INCLUDING 6GB TRAFFIC, THOUSANDS OF MINUTES OF TALK TIME, ETC.

The 1GB traffic and 3GB traffic were sold out, and they didn't think they would need so much, so Xueluo and Liu Jingshu didn't buy it. Because the itinerary continued to fly directly, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu bought it in the VODAPHONE business hall diagonally opposite Hadrian's Gate, 3GB of traffic, I don't remember how many minutes of talk time, I didn't make many calls.

In order to be able to use Google Maps, APP, etc. to check routes and guides, the cost is 90TL in total, of which 50TL is the card fee, 38TL is the package fee, and 2TL is the tax. In fact, Xueluo wants to say that you can choose the cheapest 1GB on the line, and if you don't brush your phone much on the road, you basically can't use it up, and it's a waste to buy too much.

TIPS: Passport copy is required; remember not to lose the card sleeve, the PIN code on it must be entered to unlock every time it is turned on (I want to complain about this design), and I can also remember it with a good memory. Friends in need can find snow falling, ultra-low price, can be sent by express. It's good to go there and recharge directly to buy traffic, and it's just more than 20 TL.

It is more cost-effective than buying 90TL in the whole area!The departure time of this trip in early December is 11 end, and in early December, it is the early winter of the country, so the reference is as follows: [dressing] 1. The inland city is relatively cold, and there is heating indoors, and you need a thicker coat or down jacket and gloves for staying outdoors for a long time.

2. Coastal cities are colder in the morning and evening, and a single sweater or even a long-sleeved T-shirt is enough when the sun is warm at noon. 3. Please wear as thick as you can when flying paragliding and taking the ferry to blow the wind. You can take it off when it's hot, but it's really okay when it's cold. At least Xueluo is a southerner, and he is really afraid of the cold. 【Shoes】The country is especially mountainous, and the steep slope is very leg-intensive.

Girls are advised to wear comfortable shoes that are easy to walk in. 【Power supply】The power socket of Turkey is the European standard, the voltage is the same as 220V, and it is suitable for 2-hole round socket. You can buy sockets and plugs in advance to facilitate multiple electrical appliances. 【Toiletries】Dental kits are not provided at the Turkish accommodation, but are sold in local supermarkets such as SOK, A1, etc., and even small shops, so it is recommended to bring your own.

Especially staying in a homestay. 【Medicine】Considering the different diets, it is recommended to bring gastrointestinal medicines, anti-inflammatory drugs, cold and fever reducers, band-aids, etc., to be prepared. The itinerary plan has finished talking about the common things of Turkey, and the following is the itinerary. Itinerary planning is a very subjective thing, and the choice of the city to go to is often different due to the introduction of predecessors or your own preferences.

This is for reference only. Considering the current security situation in Turkey, as well as the time and temperature issues, this trip abandoned Cappadocia hot air balloon and Pamukkale, and only stopped at four cities in the western region of Turkey: , , ,

Knowing the map of Turkey and the location of the city in advance will be very helpful for the whole trip, and a few software are recommended: [Bing Global Travel Map] This map also marks the information and location of tourist attractions in various places, which is very convenient. [Google Maps APP]: Navigation query artifact, accurate positioning and rapid follow-up, the only disadvantage is that public transportation information cannot be found in Turkey.

[Aowei Map APP]: If you can't use Google Maps in China, you can use this in advance. Students who haven't done their homework yet, Xueluo has drawn a brief picture of the entire itinerary of the country, and will take a look. It is a must-visit city for almost all tourists to Turkey, and there should be no one who will not visit it, so it is the last stop for Snow Fall and Liu Jingshu.

Let's put it in front of me first. (For specific traffic strategies, please see the domestic transportation section below.) Same for other cities. [Three-and-a-half-day itinerary]: Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Archaeological Museum, Galatia Bridge, Galatia Tower. Dolmabahce Palace, Besiktas Stadium.
