Located not so far from the city centre, this building attracts your attention with a monumental and untypical view. This is grandiose and exciting.
Azadi tower is the most important monument in Tehran and all of Iran. It is huge and is open 24/7. Visit at night when it lights up too! Amazing overall.

The Chinese call it the Pink Mosque because the morning sun shines into the room through the stained glass windows, casting a beautiful pink hue on the entire mosque. Unfortunately, we went there in the summer, and the mosque opened at 8 a.m. When we entered at 8 a.m., the sun had risen too high, and the angle was wrong, so we could not see the pink color of the entire room, but only the beautiful shadows of the stained glass windows. You can only see pink in spring, autumn, and winter.
The most popular check-in spot on the Internet in Iran, and one of the most popular must-see attractions for Chinese people in Shiraz! The sun shines in when the door opens every morning, which is the most beautiful time to take photos. The colorful stained glass is very suitable for posing

The Golestan Palace is the only world cultural heritage in Tehran. It was built during the Qajar dynasty and has a history of more than 200 years. The founding emperor of the Qajar dynasty was the only eunuch emperor in the world. But he was extremely smart and ruthless, which eventually allowed him to ascend the throne. In the name of the Golestan Palace, "Gre" means flower, and "Stan" means place, so people also call it the Rose Palace. The famous Peacock Throne was originally placed in the palace, but in order to protect it, it has now been moved to the Treasure Museum in Tehran. Now you can still see a marble throne there, which is also very beautiful. The Hall of Mirrors is the most gorgeous place in the entire palace, don't miss it!
Located in the center of Tehran, the capital of Iran, it is a royal palace with a long history and rich decorations. Built in the 16th century, the palace was once the residence and official place of the Persian king and the Iranian emperor. It is also one of the representatives of modern Iranian architecture and art. The interior of the palace is beautifully decorated, with many magnificent halls, courtyards and gardens, showing the essence of ancient Iranian culture and architecture.

It is known as the second largest city square in the world. Except for two mosques and a building, it is surrounded by bazaars. Usually, this is a good place for people to rest, exercise and relax. There are also horse-drawn carriages in the square, which are classical European style carriages.
I love Isfahan, and I love Khoresh mast (The most delicious dessert)

Although the National Museum of Iran is not as good as the Louvre, it is the essence of Persian civilization and a microcosm of Iran's ancient and civilized history. It plays an important role in helping people understand Iran's glorious past and the rise and fall of various dynasties. The building is in the architectural style of the famous palace of Disphoris, the capital of the Sassanid Dynasty. The bricks are dark red, which is also an architectural feature of the Sassanid Dynasty.
I'm not particularly fond of museums, but this one has a great collection of exhibits from the early and late Persian era. If you're in Tehran, you can spend a few hours here. We stopped here to see many antique artifacts that reminded us of the places we visited. In fact, many of the national treasures here are in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, the Louvre in Paris, or the British Museum in London, but some are still here.

The Thirty-Three Arch Bridge was built between 1599 and 1602. It is one of the 11 bridges in Isfahan, Iran. It is highly regarded as one of the most famous representatives of Safavid bridge design. It is a double-layer structure with 33 arches, hence the name Thirty-Three Arch Bridge. It is a very beautiful stone arch bridge and a multifunctional building, which is both a bridge and a dam.
Oh! It's very comfortable here during the day and at night. You must take more photos. It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it. The attractions are very lively, but beautiful and pleasing to the eye. There are many locals here. Asian women traveling alone should be careful. I'm dressed very conservatively. When kids see Asian faces, they will deliberately bump their shoulders with you or get very close to you. Just scold them loudly and passers-by will help you. It's a beautiful place, but there are many low-class kids here.

Awesome place. With Fontanes and lots of light, it's beautiful during the day and at night. There are some activities starting at 5pm, such as zip lines, bridges, escape rooms, virtual reality, etc. There is also a dolphinarium nearby, but you need to walk a bit to get there. The tower is very high and there are some museums inside. The ticket includes the use of telescopes.
Merde Tower is the tallest TV tower in Tehran. You can see the scenery here from many places in the city. The structure of Merde Tower is also very grand, with a very thin waist. It is also a landmark building that is easy to find.
[Scenery] The surrounding landscape is unobstructed
