The church of Saint Sophia is magnificent in appearance, especially the turquoise and gold tower. The church of Saint Sophia was built in March 1907. It was originally a wooden structure built to meet the spiritual needs of soldiers of the Fourth Infantry Division of Tsar. It is a must-check place in Harbin.

The underground palace, a mysterious place hidden underground, gives a strange first impression. Despite its long history and unique architectural style, the interior space is a little dim, which may be slightly uncomfortable for people who like a bright environment. During the visit, the explanation of the narrator is acceptable, but if more interactive links can be added, it may improve the experience of tourists. Overall, it is a historical attraction worth seeing, but I look forward to more improvement and improvement in the future.

且兰老飞老侯

The Bosphorus Strait is north of the Black Sea, the Marmara Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, separating Turkey into Asia and Europe. Istanbul is located on the two sides of the central and southern section of the Strait. It was built in 1973 to cross the Bosphorus Highway Bridge, which is 1560 meters long. There is a beautiful myth in the Bosphorus. It is said that Zeus, the first of the gods, had a lover named Io, who turned Io into a cow to hide it from his wife Hera. Hera later learned about it. She became a cow fly to harass the cow Io, to avoid the cow fly, Io crossed a water wall. In ancient Greek, &quot;bous&quot; means &quot;cow&quot;, &quot;phoros&quot; means &quot;water wall&quot;, the myth of the water wall is the Bosphorus. ​ We were very lucky to enjoy the sunset on the cruise ship in the Bosphorus Strait, leaving a perfect termination for our three-week trip.

The Blue Mosque

The Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey (also known as Suleiman Mosque) uses Byzantine-style domes combined with Islamic architectural elements, with a diameter of27.5 meters, 4 sub-domes and 30 small domes distributed around, without pillar support. No nails were used when construction, relying on masonry structure alone, after 400 years of earthquakes still standing. The central hall inside is nearly 5,000 square meters, surrounded by 260 small windows and stained glass windows, forming a light and shadow changeable &quot;light dance space&quot;. Designer Kocha Mimar Shinan (April 15, 1489 － April 9, 1588) was Michelangelo from the Ottoman era. Along the way, in addition to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul (Sulaiman Mosque), built in 1550 ～ in 1557, we were very lucky to visit two other masterpieces of the great designer: 1 ️⃣ the Grand Mosque in Sarajevo, capital of BiH (Guz Hussere Berg Mosque), Built in 1531; 2️⃣ Mohammed Pasha Sokorovich Bridge in Visegrad, Bosnia and Herzegovina, built in 1577. ​
