Jodhpur is a beautiful city in the desert. The houses on both sides of the street, regardless of size, rich or poor, are all painted blue, reflecting the blue sky above. The houses also show different light blue, sky blue, water blue, dark blue, Indigo, walking through it, is intoxicating. When you climb up the great building of Jodhpur - Mehrangarh Fort and look over the whole city, the bright blue color will surely shock you for a long time! Walking into the alleys of Jodhpur, you will find a more colorful Indian life, as colorful as the headscarves of women, blowing towards your face. Jodhpur is overcrowded, traffic jammed, polluted, and very busy. Especially around the clock tower in the old town, and Sadar market at the foot of the clock tower is full of medieval style.

The world's three big blue cities, Greece Santorini, Morocco Shefshavan, today came to India's blue city Jodhpur, eyes can see, all blue. It is said that the house was painted blue to prevent mosquitoes and insects, another saying that blue was one of the ways to show identity at the time, and after the caste system was abolished, people painted their houses blue. The houses on both sides of the street, regardless of size, rich and poor, are painted blue, reflecting the blue of the sky above the head, and the house also presents different light blue, sky blue, water blue, deep blue, and blue.
The blue city of Jotepur, the good luck of the previous day seemed to be used up, the whole city was shrouded in thick haze... The fastest way to know a place is to chat with locals. There are some guides selling their services at the entrances of major attractions in some tourist cities in India. In fact, compared to the domestic tourism industry, the locals in India are still very simple, maybe shopping and the like will be a little more expensive than the locals, but it will not be too outrageous, or maybe I have better luck! A can of coke in the scenic spot is only 3 yuan, a coconut on the side of the road is 3 yuan, and the freshly squeezed sugarcane juice at the market is 2 yuan. The focus is very good. With lime flavor, a glass of ice can't be better in summer! The tour guide service charges dozens of dollars for one or two hours. Although occasionally you will take you to several small shops, it is also what I would like, and the service attitude is very warm. It will help to find the shooting angle, pick things, explain... You can see that they want to make money, but they really don’t resent this kind of sincere money exchange. It's just that occasionally some enthusiastic little vendors can't eat...
Day16 Wonderful India Jotpur Impressions: The glow of Fort Melangal does not seem to mask poverty and backwardness here. Small crowded streets, dilapidated houses, horrifying traffic, shabby markets, begging everywhere, I can't and don't want to record these, just find a corner in my heart to put it in silence. Even so, the people here are still friendly and warm, simple and kind. In Jodhpur, I tried the Indian bus, the lights were a little dark, the space was a little narrow, the number of people was a little more, and everything else was OK. The Indian female teacher sitting next to me accosted me all the way, how they wanted to know the outside world. If the highlight of this "city" is probably the craft workshop scattered around the streets, and handmade leather is the feature of Jodhpur.
