When I went to Turkey to play the World Championships in August, I went to the hotel I stayed in 🏨, next to the Hagia Sophia ⛪️. Because it is one of the most famous attractions in Istanbul, the queues here are very long every day. There is also a green channel on the spot, which is a fast channel for online booking 🎫. There are also staff 👩💼 next to it to teach tourists how to buy tickets. Considering the inconvenience of operation, We still chose to queue normally. Tickets are 350 lira. I think there are previous strategies that say 10 lira and 20 lira. I don't know if it's here or the price has increased in recent years. As the walking stairs go down, I see this mysterious underground palace. The water palace has a half-football field large, high interior, rows of towering columns supporting the entire building, with arches at the top, adding to the artistic feel of the water palace. The water is not deep, the water is built to watch the lights, the lights change from time to time, so that the whole water palace is full of mystery, can also feel the grandeur of the whole building shock. With the twists and turns of the viewing trail, there are many landscapes worth checking in. It takes about 15~20 minutes to visit the entire water palace. Relatively speaking, the price of the groundwater palace is not cheap. The Russian, Japanese and Korean chess players who are in the same group have given up visiting. I think this is also a landmark attraction in Turkey. If you can accept the fare of about 120 yuan, it is recommended to visit.

Straits/Fjords

The Bosporus Strait, which divides Istanbul in two, is also known as the Strait of Istanbul. It connects the Black Sea in the north to the Marmara and Mediterranean Sea in the south, splitting Turkey into a European side and an Asian side. Both sides are famous historical districts in Istanbul.

We went to the Galata, built in 1348, and after queuing in, the elevator went directly to the 6th floor, and then walked 2 floors to the top floor. Overlooking Istabul, the blue sky and blue sea green trees and red roof are very beautiful. After watching, you can only walk down. Every floor has some to visit, although the visibility is not strong.

Topkapa Palace is one of Turkey's most famous palaces, with Beijing Palace, Paris Versailles, Moscow Kremlin and other known as the world's top ten palaces, located in the heart of Istanbul, just behind the Hagia Sophia. Like the Forbidden City, Topkapa Palace is also very large, and a young man has to spend most of the day if he wants to visit the entire palace in detail. There are palaces and buildings large and small in the palace, and there are many exhibits. The innermost palace can see the Istanbul Strait and the mountain view on the other side of the Strait. In addition to the big, the entire palace is surrounded by flowers and vegetation everywhere, which is very beautiful. Tickets 🎫 are 950 lira, which is more expensive, more expensive than the Forbidden City, but it is worth a visit. At the same time, the Palace also provides audio guides in multiple languages, and you can get them by showing your passport 🪪, which is very convenient.

It's the modern days Royal palace of the late Ottoman Empire and early Republic of Turkiye. Last kings of the Ottoman Empire. And caliph Abdulaziz and the founder of Turkiye Mustafa Kemal Atatürk have been there. The museum is a little bit expensive and it's forbidden to take pictures. The behaviour of security was not professional and friendly. Painting was so special even though there were George Washington's paintings. I definitely suggest you also visit the art gallery.

Turkey's capital is not Istanbul, but Istanbul, located on the border between Asia and Europe, blends Chinese and Western culture, is full of strong European customs, attracting countless tourists, and is lingering.
