One the major attraction near blue mosque is this Basilica Cistern. Entry fee is a cheap at TR20 and it's worth visiting as we learn how the structure stands.

This is the largest of several hundred ancient cisterns that lie beneath the city of Istanbul. I went to this place last year.

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.

After buying a ticket, I went down the stairs and felt grand and cool. Walking on the plank road, water dripping from time to time, but the water is very shallow. The red light is separated inside. The light is bright and beautiful. When you don't play the light, you can also enjoy its real appearance. Seeing the head of Medusa, bigger than expected, and the tear column, it is really beautiful. The pillars inside are all moved from all over, so many are different. Some modern artworks are mixed.
