From Azerbaijan you can reach the Georgian border town of Sighnaghi, where the air is fresh, the scenery is pure and picturesque, there are not many tourists, but the enthusiasm of the locals is indispensable. Georgia is a tourist country worth visiting.

Sighnaghi

Drive 220km round trip from Tbilisi to Sighnaghi in Georgia. It is called the love town and fairytale town, but it is actually the birthplace of European wine. (Georgians are really good at driving!)

The small town of Sighnaghi in Georgia is the hometown of the famous Georgian painter Nikopirosmanishvili. The famous Russian novel &quot;A Million Roses&quot; was written based on the experience of this painter! And the background is here, a literary town full of flowers.

Signaji, Georgia, has the reputation of a love town, is very quiet, when it arrives, the fog is gradually scattered, the rain is shining, and there is a sense of paradise. Signaj is also known as the Royal Town because it became the seat of Georgia&#39;s royal family in the second century BC. The town is built on a mountain, the road is not flat, and the slopes are switched up and down. Because the town&#39;s marriage registry is open 24 hours, which can meet the requirements of new people from all over the world to register for marriage, the reputation of the love town has spread. The idyllic scenery of the town is very beautiful, the cross road for a long time, and many original old buildings have been well preserved to date, giving the town a unique historical charm. Walking on the street can smell the romantic atmosphere in the air. Signaj is the hiding place for many European couples on their honeymoon. The town is very small. I estimate that it is very interesting to take a circle of the market in more than half an hour. It seems that it is not like doing business. Sitting there, pulling home, chatting, the specialty is the kind of stick wrapped in nuts. The appearance is beautiful, but the taste is really not flattering. The whole town is a mountain road. Bend, the terrain is undulating, the buildings are built on the mountain, scattered, you can experience a different style, like a paradise.

The center of the town is the low point of the town, and the north is the high point. The town of Signaji is built on the rolling slopes of such a highland, and the road ground of the town is covered with cobblestones. Entering this mountain town of tourists, the stone road is mostly surrounded by hotels and bars. Visitors from all over the world make the town a bit crowded, and many Chinese compatriots can be seen here. It is a little aimless to walk into the town, only to know that it is going in the direction of the ancient castle. There is an observation deck behind the Signaji Museum. We are &quot;shocked&quot; by the beauty of the view. The red-topped houses on the mountain beams are hidden in the green trees, and the vast plains in the distance make the mountain beams look so abrupt. Look carefully and see the ancient city with towers and city walls above the slope of the mountain beams. A small town with a long history and architectural characteristics left us with the first good impression. I don&#39;t know why, there doesn&#39;t seem to be much content on Google Maps about the town, but Map.me maps show more. So follow the map to the castle location, because the town is built on the mountainous hilly area, so the road level changes a lot, and the map plane effect does not reflect this level change. The result twice led us to go the wrong way.

Bodbe Monastery in Georgia was built to commemorate St. Nino, who converted the entire country to Christianity under King Mirian III of the Iberian Dynasty. There are exquisite murals and St. Nino's tomb inside the church, but photography is not allowed inside.

As the most important monastery of the Orthodox Church in Georgia, the tomb of St. Nino is in the monastery. St. Nino was the first person to spread the Orthodox Church to Georgia, so this monastery is of great significance!

The Bodbe Monastery of Saint Nino was built by the King of Kakheti for Saint Nino, a nun who converted Georgians to Christianity. She died in the Bodbe area in 340 AD. Many kings of the Kingdom of Kakheti were also crowned here. It is an important pilgrimage site in Georgia.

Entering this monastery, which already has many tourists, is a very beautiful monastery for repair and care, and the towering trees in the courtyard seem to imply that the monastery has a long history and the lawn is lush and flowery. It is a monastery built in honor of the Christian saint Nino of Han, Georgia, and is said to be in the monastery. Built in the 9th century AD and undergoing a massive renovation in the 17th century, the monastery is one of the main pilgrimages in Georgia. The monastery has an ancient chapel, said to be an Orthodox church. Incense is strong, and in addition to the pictures of the Father and the Son, there are a large number of story murals on the wall about San Nino. Next to the chapel is a tall bell tower, surrounded by ancient trees. There is also a tall new church in the courtyard, which is currently under repair and is not open. There are also large green lawns in the monastery, which are built on the slopes and have a very open outlook. There is also a cemetery under the hillside of the monastery, with many tombstones, not knowing that one belongs to the famous San Nino. Let us be the simplest one with a cross. Standing in the monastery, you can see the plains under the mountain, because the clouds have not completely dissipated, so visibility is still relatively limited. But such a beautiful and large area of monastery is not rare. Because it is a convent, all the real nuns are seen here.

The abbey is 2 kilometers away from the ancient city. The walking lane is narrow and unsafe. After a while, I decided to drive back. The old courtyard is very tasteful, the interior is simple and elegant; the new courtyard is gorgeous but dignified. Seeing nuns doing gardens and cleaning. The surrounding environment is beautiful.
