Ammel Castle is located on the right side of the third courtyard of Amber Castle, opposite the Garden of Mirrors, which was once a place for the Mahal Princes and their courtiers to play in the summer.
There are grooves on the ground that direct flowing water around to cool down. Ammel Castle Joy PalaceFemale students visiting Amber Castle resting on the steps in front of Joy Palace. Ammel Castle Indian female tourist. Ammer Castle, an Indian male tourist, praised the camera of Snow Fall. The Indian man at Ammel Castle makes a cool gesture at the camera of the snow falling, and then floats by.
Ammel Castle for Indian tourists. Dad and daughter. The little girl is very well-behaved. After looking at the third courtyard of Ammel Castle, follow the stairs in the corridor to the fourth courtyard. This is the harem of Amber Fort, and the houses of the princesses are scattered around this large open field. Interestingly, there are twelve rooms, each with a princess, separated by partitions.
There are 12 separate staircases leading to each princess's room, so the other concubines do not know which concubine's room the king of the earth has visited, so as not to be jealous of each other. Here, there was a staff man, dressed in such a way that the snow fell as he entered a dimly lit staircase and up to the roof.
The mysterious seemed to want to introduce some special scenery to Xueluo, at that time, there was only one person in the vicinity, and the friends were all elsewhere, a little worried about safety, so they quickly got rid of him and left quickly. He might just be an ordinary castle worker, just trying to show you some of the features and ask for a little tip.
There is a square pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, which used to be a place for the concubines to show off their talents, sing and dance to please the king of the earth. Ammer Castle has a roofed terrace in the courtyard on the fourth floor, and the promenade on this terrace leads back north to this beautifully decorated pavilion. This pavilion is actually the roof of the entrance to the courtyard on the third floor of the Elephant Head Gate.
Standing in this pavilion, through the openwork windows and the small openings on the windows, you can overlook the courtyard on the first floor of the Amber Castle. At Ammel Castle, the princesses who stayed behind in the palace stood behind this flowered window, peeking at the scene where the Tuvassal King led his army back to the court and entered the courtyard below from the Sun Gate.
As mentioned earlier in the introduction of the First Courtyard, the princesses rejoiced and wept with joy when they saw the victory of the army, waiting to share the results of the battle, and if they saw the remnants of the defeated army, it would certainly be an atmosphere of depression and sorrow. There is a small courtyard on the right side of this pavilion, and in the center there is a square pond more than one meter square and more than one meter deep.
It was the bath of the concubines. After seeing the courtyard on the fourth floor of Ammel Castle, the Amber Fort is basically finished, and from here you can go down the stairs to see two cauldrons placed in a long courtyard, and from the doorway in front of the cauldron is the exit of the Amber Palace. At the very back of the palace, there is a large elephant house, which is a resting place for the elephants.
Ammel Castle is home to two large iron pots, which seem to tell visitors how much food the people who lived in Amber Castle used to eat. This large iron pot is not poured and molded at one time, but welded with many pieces of iron sheet. Ammel Castle is full of harvest and walks out of Amber Castle.
Located on the hill behind the Amber Fort, it is said to have never been breached, and it is said that it was a fortress that guarded the city of Ammer. Built by Jay Singh I, it was the royal palace before the construction of Amber Fort. The castle is home to what is said to be "the world's largest wheeled cannon".
Xueluo has seen a statue in the Moscow Kremlin that claims to be "the world's largest wheeled cannon", but because Jaygar Xueluo did not go up, I don't know which one deserves the title of "largest". Looking back at Fort Jaygar out of Fort Amber, you can clearly see that there is another castle at the bottom right of Fort Amber, and that is Fort Jaygar.
There is a mountain road next to the Amber Fort that can go up to the Jeygard Fort, and the Amber Fort ticket is free to visit, but the main thing to take pictures of the cannon is to pay 50. This tall watchtower is the landmark of Fort Jaygar, rising from the ground and being seen from afar, as a watchtower to monitor the enemy.
The Amber Fort is located underneath it, which can be monitored from all angles and ensure the safety of the royal palace. The watchtower can also be seen clearly from Tiger Fort, a few kilometers away. The tall walls are imposing, and the observation pavilion above offers a panoramic view of the Amber Fort below.
The bell tower that extends along the city wall guards the mountain pass, and the bell can be sounded to warn the enemy when attacking. The city wall around Amber City, which looks like the Great Wall of Snow Falling Country, has a history of about 400 years. Of course, this wall is at best a few dozen miles to the Tiger Fort, which extends 8 kilometers away, and the battlements are not as beautiful as the Great Wall of Snow Fall and Liu Jingshu.
The history is not as good as the Ming Great Wall in the snowfall country. Judging from the outer walls of Amber City, it seems that this former royal city of the earth lord included two castles, namely Amber Fort, Jaygarh Fort, and the Tiger Fort Nahagar, which has already been visited. Geographically, Xueluo thought that the role of these three castles should be arranged as follows.
The largest and most luxurious of Amber Fort should be the royal palace of 1, which is commonly used in normal times, Jegar Fort is high and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the best place to retreat to the enemy when attacking Amber City, and Tiger Fort is located at the end of the hill, which can overlook the city of Jaipur with high winds, and is a good place to escape the heat in summer. Jaipur stepped well after leaving Amber Fort.
Return to the tuk-tuk waiting at the gate and head back to the city. From Amber Castle, go left into a small town and walk about 2 km to a beautiful stepwell. I've seen the photos taken by others, and the shape of the step well is very distinctive, with many intersecting zigzag steps zigzag leading to the bottom of the well, and the lines are very beautiful. It's a pity that because of time, I didn't go to see it.
Jaipur Water PalaceWater PalaceA palace built at the end of the 18th century by the Maharajai Tur Domain to escape the heat in the summer. Located in the northern outskirts of Jaipur, Mansagar Lake, it is not connected by land to the shore, as if it is floating on the water, and can only be reached by boat. Just on the right hand side on the way from Jaipur to Amber Fort.
The palace itself is not open to the public, but you can watch it from the lake.

It must be very pleasant to enjoy the scenery from the moonlight swaying on the lake on the rooftop. The driver of the water palace of the water palace tuk-tuk in Jaipur left Xueluo and Liu Jingshu on the side of the road.

At around 3 p.m., a chartered tuk tuk drove Xue Luo and Liu Jingshu from the Water Palace to the next planned attraction ā the City Palace in the heart of Jaipur's old city district. Leaving Jaipur for Jaiselmer in the evening, be sure to take the time to see all four of the planned attractions this year.
There's also a palace of the winds to see in the back. Jaipur City Palaces City Palaces are located in the middle of the old city of Jaipur. It was built in 1729 by King Jay Singh II, more than 130 years later than Amber Fort, and the scale and style of the building are far less than the Amber Palace.
It is currently one of the attractions in Jaipur, only part of it is open, and some of it is still inhabited by descendants of the princes. It is said that the descendants of these princes used the money earned by the open part to maintain the entire palace and their lives. It was a means for the vassal kings of India to maintain their daily lives after being stripped of power by the central government.
Many of the old royal palaces of the feudal lords adopted this business model. In other words, the former royal palace of the Tuvassal King still exists and has become an important source of livelihood for his descendants, but the power is no longer there. After the reduction of power, the lord of the vassal was called the "prince". Rajasthani was a warlike Rajput and the Mughals ruled northern India as an invading people.
After countless heroic battles and struggles, but finally conquered and ruled by him, Jay Singh II, the vassal of the Kachiwaha Kingdom, out of desperation, was forced to marry one of his royal daughters to the Mughal emperor as a concubine, in exchange for the protection of the Mughal dynasty, there was no need for conquest, and it was located in the northern mountain fortress.
The amber fort, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, lost its geographical value, so Jai Singh II moved the royal palace to Jaipur, which is the city palace of Jaipur today. The old city of Jaipur was built and developed around this new palace.
How to get there: If you live inside the old town, you can walk there, and if you live outside the old town, you need to take a tuk-tuk to get there. The Jaipur Scenic Pass is applicable. Compared to the 200 tickets at Amber Fort, 400 is too expensive and not worth it, for a palace that is only partially open and has very limited things to see.
The east entrance of Jaipur City Palace City Palace, where Snow Fall and Liu Jingshu walk in. The arched doorway and the plain floral motifs on the walls indicate that the building is typical of Islamic architecture, indirectly indicating that it was under the pressure of the Mughal dynasty at that time.
As an important force in Rajput, the leader of the Jaipur vassal state was helplessly obedient and pandered to the foreign forces of Islam. The recessed walls on both sides of the gates of the city palace are decorated with portraits of the princes of the earth domain. The portrait depicts the appearance, demeanor, and clothing of the Tsuto King, who holds a long scepter in his hand.
Although he has lost his power, he still envy the power he once had. Jaipur City PalaceThe first courtyard after the city palace entered the palace district, the main building was the museum. The exhibits include some things used or collected by the feudal kings, such as clothing, accessories, weapons, classic cars, etc. In the photo above, you can see two or three hundred years ago.

The courtyard of the Jaipur City Palace City Palace is large and square, and the surrounding buildings are all pink walls, and there is a square whitewashed hall in the middle, and there are many white marble columns in the hall, which are more ornately decorated. This hall was called the "Private Hall", and it used to be a place where the feudal lords and their officials held meetings.
Nowadays, it is often rented to hold some activities such as weddings, balls, banquets, etc. When Xueluo and Liu Jingshu went to visit, they saw some people decorating the event site, and they didn't know who had taken over the venue. Jaipur City Palaces City Palaces have two large glass cabinets under the porch of the private hall, each of which displays a large silver jar.
Each is 16 metres tall and weighs 345 kilograms, claiming to be "the world's largest piece of sterling silver", which was used to hold the holy water of the Ganges River when the Maharaja traveled to England to attend the coronation of the British Emperor at the beginning of the last century. The maharaja was a devout Hindu who believed in the divine power of the Ganges water. An event site is being set up in the "Private Chamber" of the City Palace of Jaipur City Palace.
From here, you can see the arches of the hall made of marble columns, the upper part of which is painted in pink tones, and the crystal glass chandeliers hanging in the middle.
