The world of blue pigment in Chefchaouen, Morocco

💙 Located in the northwest of Morocco in North Africa, the town of Chefchaouen, also known as the 'Blue Diamond' town, means 'looking at the top of the mountains' in Arabic. Paired with Mediterranean-style architecture, it's like being in a fairy tale world. This is also a paradise for cat lovers! 💙 It is said that the initial painting of blue was to prevent mosquitoes, and some say that in Judaism, blue represents the sky and heaven, and blue can keep people highly spiritually aware. It also implies that blue is under God's blessing. 💙 The shades of blue everywhere are not quite the same, azure, light blue, powder blue, lake blue, rich in layers, super out of the picture! 💙 Going up the stairs from the residents' houses, you can take a panoramic view from the top. I didn't take it, but someone in the same group did. Many residents' houses can be entered for viewing and taking pictures, some of which charge a few dollars. 💙 It is recommended to go in the morning or around 4-5 pm in the evening, the light is softer, and you won't take a yin-yang face, and the sun sets around 6:15. 💙 It is recommended to wear simple ethnic style or pure white 💙 Local specialty desserts can be bought in small amounts for tasting, most of them are too sweet, if you are not used to local dishes, you can go to the 'Chengdu Impression' Chinese restaurant 100 meters away from the town exit 💙 Don't take pictures of local women! Because something happened before, a photographer took a picture of a local woman, and then it went viral on the Internet. It was seen by the woman's husband, and then she was divorced. So local women will block their faces with their hands as soon as they see someone pointing a camera at them.
