The Freedom Monument, also known as Azadi Tower, was built in 1971 by the Pahlavi dynasty to celebrate the creation of the Persian Empire in 2,500 years, designed by Iranian architects, and made of 2,500 marble from the local Iranian area. Originally the tower was open to traffic, now not open to traffic, only as a attraction open. You can buy tickets to climb the tower, I don't have enough time to go up. It is the sign of Tehran!

Once the most powerful city in The World. These days it is mostly just ruins with a handful of intact structures and carvings....but enough to give you an idea of what it once was. Definitely a "must-visit" if you are in Shiraz.

The Blue Mosque was built in 1465 and is the same name as the Blue Mosque in Turkey, but on a much smaller scale. The mosque was damaged twice by the earthquake, and although it was repaired many times, it was still relatively broken, with only a small amount of blue mosaics left on the exterior wall. The blue colours of the quaint buildings and walls narrate the glory of the mosque at the time.

It turned out that I wanted to go to Hafez's tomb to see the night scene. But who expected that the day I went, it suddenly closed at 7 pm, and it was not allowed to enter at 6:30 (the scenic spot was open until 10 pm), and I could only choose to come the next day during the day. You can hear the horn playing Hafez's poems constantly in the door, although it is read in Persian, I can't understand it at all, but just listen to the charm of this poem, it feels particularly good, let my heart calm down. Hafez, the most famous poet in Iran in the 14th century, heard that every Iranian family will have a Koran and a collection of Hafez poems. I came to his tomb to learn that so many Iranians came to worship him, and he was indeed popular! Shop with Hafez's Chinese poetry collection for $23

The Qur'an gate was a decorative gate built a thousand years ago in the north of Shiraz. Karim Khan had placed a "Qur'an" in the small room on the top of the gate for blessings. Under the influence of this "Koran", this city gatekeeper blesses the safe return of all who have not been pulled.

Desert Rose
an interesting place in Yazd. Zoroastrian fire temple!The fire that burns inside this fire temple has been lit for more than 1500 years. This fire is from the fire of Karian fire temple in Larestan, Fars province,which was brought to Aqda in Yazd and kept there for nearly 700 years. Then, in 522 AH (1174 AD), it was taken from Aqda to Ardakan (Turkabad village) it was in Turkabad for 300 years and in 852 AH (1474 AD) it was taken from Turkabad to Yazd and kept.

天边的海999
The Persian word for Dakhma is located on the southern outskirts of Yazd, consisting of two masonry buildings on a small mountaintop that look like two short and thick chimneys. Climb up the chimney, the top is actually solid, there is a small hole in the middle, throw a stone down, the time of the fall indicates its depth. You may not think that this is actually the site of the Zoroazeids used to perform celestial burials, where the leftover bones of vultures are dumped by the celestial burial master into the small hole in the middle. But don't be afraid, the two lonely towers have been in use since the 1960s, and the heavenly burial in Iran has almost disappeared. There is a cemetery at the foot of the mountain, which preserves the traditional funeral customs of Zoroazds except for celestial burials, and if you pay a certain fee, the cemeterykeeper will be happy to let you visit to learn about their culture.

The garden of the Forty Columns Palace in Isfahan is a remarkable example of Persian gardens and is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The palace was rebuilt after a soup fire in 1706, and many paintings, pocket paintings, and pottery reflect the luxury of the palace at that time.

The hotel is very close to the Grand Bazaar. This is also the largest market in the local area. There is no clear price. It is necessary to bargain by your mouth. There are many Chinese merchants. If you want to buy some souvenirs, you can come over. Remember to bargain and counter-offer.

Paradise Garden is a Persian garden that is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, known for its tall trees. The garden has a history of more than 900 years. Although it was built in the Suga period, it has integrated the scenery elements of the earlier Seljuk period. The paradise garden is mainly seen with flowers and plants, but there is also a small palace building that is not open, and there is a small pool outside. Connect to a long fountain.
