One of the world's most beautiful towns, Turkey's Göreme town.
Göreme is located in eastern Turkey, the westernmost point of the Asian continent, with unique landforms in the Cappadocia region, specifically in the province of Nevşehir in central Anatolia. Around the 14th century BC, the Hittite people lived here by carving caves, and the Hittite kingdom was once the most powerful country in western Asia.
Göreme is a small town running north and south. It takes only half an hour to walk back and forth in the bustling area at the center of the town. Various small shops are scattered along the road, selling everything from cushion covers, felt hats, old doorbells, fridge magnets, postcards, to spinning begging bowls of monks. Whatever souvenir you want, you can find it here. The volcanic ash in Greyme has been weathered and eroded by rainwater for millions of years, forming countless strange rock formations that resemble both needle mushrooms and skinny chimneys, known as "fairy chimneys". In these seemingly barren cliffs, there are countless rock-cut churches, cave dwellings, and underground city ruins hidden.
/Göreme's open-air museum is located in a valley, condensed with the characteristics and scenery of Cappadocia. It was once a gathering place for Christians after the 9th century. Many Christians took refuge in these caves, leaving murals on the walls and decorating the caves into churches. The walls of the caves still retain the images of characters from the Bible to this day, faintly discernible.
/Attention! Introduce the super popular internet-famous carpet store, also the largest one in the town. It's very close to "Meihua Chinese Restaurant". From afar, you can see all kinds of beautiful carpets hanging at their door. It's even more amazing inside the store.
This is the nearest, most convenient, the nearest place to contact the stone pillars, there are many tourists here, a rock pillar with the same shape as a hat, very like a small mushroom, free area.
The erosion of each rock formation creates the unique landscape. I once heard my colleague joke about tourists, but he didn't clarify it. "I laughed and I was distressed by the tourists. Wonders of the world.
The next stop from the Goreme Open Air Museum is the elf chimney, not to see just some unremarkable stones, but all long weathered and formed. Especially fun! You can climb to a high hole, and of course it is probably not coming down.
These fairy chimneys of Graeme are totally natural. Of course, they can also be said to be masterpieces made by the gods of fire, wind, rain and the old man of time. The lava city formed by volcanic eruption has undergone millions of years of wind and rain, and the weathering ability of the softer rock layers under the hardest top rock rain is different, thus forming such a unique and peculiar landform and landscape.
Fairy Chimney - is the most representative landscape of Kapadochia karst landform, which resembles the lunar landform. The rock shape here is like a large chimney. With the change of sunlight, the rock tone varies from light red, ochre or brown to gray, yellowish or milky white. It is like fairyland, so it is called Fairy Chimney.
The classic landscapes of Cappadocia. The description of "Fairy Chimney" is really vivid, and it feels like entering a fantastic world where there may be elves. It is estimated that if you eat, you may call the landscape mushroom head.
Graeme's fairy chimney is one of the most amazing volcanic rock landscapes in Cappadochia. After the eruption of volcanic rocks, the natural wind, rain and time work together to form these natural landscapes like mushrooms, umbrella tips and hats. It's amazing.
It is a mysterious place in Cappadocia, a world heritage site in Turkey, where mushroom-like rocks protrude.
