Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
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.

世界三大蓝城,希腊圣托里尼,摩洛哥舍夫沙万,今天来到的是印度的蓝城焦特布尔,目光所及,皆为蓝色。据说当时把房屋涂成蓝色是为了防蚊驱虫,另一个说法是蓝色在当时是彰显身份的方式之一,后来种姓制度废除后,人们都纷纷将自己的房子涂成了蓝色。街两边的房子不论大小、贫富,一律粉刷成蓝色,映着头顶天空的湛蓝,房子也呈现出不同浅蓝、天蓝、水蓝、深蓝、靛蓝。
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.
