    "Without stepping on the Silk Road, your home is the world on the Silk Road, the world is your world in October 2023 to Samarkand's first stop Resgitan Legistan, which means sandy land. Facing Legistan (Figure 1), three magnificent buildings appear in front of you in spectacular and beautiful harmony. According to the construction time, the left-right-middle, the following are introduced: left (pictured) Nguyen Lubo Seminary, the grandson of the wisdom of Timur the Great, Nguyen Lubo, began construction in 1417, when he was the ruler of Samarkand of the Timur Empire. Samarkand was an important node of the Silk Road, with merchants from all countries, economic prosperity, treasury, and academic culture. The seminary opened languages, mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, literature, history and Islamic religion. It is rumored that Nguyen Ruber personally participated in teaching and scientific research, known as the "scholar on the throne". Right (Figure 3, 4) Sher-Dor Madrassa Scherer Door Theological College, the building formerly built in 1424 Khanqah, the Nguyen Ruber "Kush" style monastery, which was converted into Sher-Dor Theological College in 1619. (meaning Tibetan lion), completed in 1636. The two-story building with 52 rooms in the Scher Dole Theological Seminary is a reduced version of the Nelluber Theological Seminary, which looks a little lower. On the concave surface of the main entrance, a gilded lion is chasing a running white deer, There is a face of the sun god behind. Middle (Figure 5, 6, 7) Tilya-Kori Madrasah Gillia Kori Theological Seminary, which started in 1646 and completed in 1660, built a mosque in the seminary, and the mosque's large dome is shining with turquoise green. Tillya-Kori means "golden", as the name is. The surface of the dome ceiling is said to be flat, and the dome effect is achieved through painting. The original site of the Giglia Cory Seminary was built in the same period as the construction of the Nauru Seminary, a huge "Mirzo Hotel", which was used by travelers and merchants at the time. Chinese merchants arriving by the Silk Road also lived here. It was converted into a seminary and mosque in 1646, and the Gillia Cori seminary was the latest of the three seminaries to be completed. Since then, the three seminaries have formed a beautiful Legistan complex. Today's Legistan is perfectly presented to all mankind after the rigorous restoration of the 20th century by the restorers. During the Timur Empire, scientists and scholars from all over the world gathered here and gathered around Nelluber. Nelluber is an astronomer, philosopher, poet, Islam Sufi believers, rulers of the Timur Empire, and the best of the Timur large family who confesses to the lineage of Genghis Khan. It is difficult to see the picture to experience the shock of standing in the center of the square, looking up to watch the minaret covered with shiny mosaics. Go to Central Asia. Go to Samarkand, go to Legistan, enter the world of Arabian Nights!"

    "It's so beautiful! I don't feel like visiting the cemetery at all! Like a beautiful park! Tickets are not expensive. The dozens of steps that just entered were a bit awkward, because it was hot, it was a bit tired to climb up, and it was super comfortable to go up to the arch. Cool, I don't want to leave at all."

    Highlights: Built in the same period as the nearby main mosque (1399-1405), the mausoleum is also named in honor of Timur's original wife, Sarai Mulk Khanum. It is generally believed that the mausoleum was not only the shrine of Sarai Mulk Hanum, but also the burial place of other female members of the royal family. Beneath the pointed dome is a cross-shaped planar structure, which is located within an octahedral structure. The mausoleum's brick walls are decorated with ornate tile patterns.
