Best Things to Do

且兰老飞老侯

Built 1500 years ago, the Hagia Sophia Cathedral in Istanbul, Turkey, is famous for its huge dome and is a Byzantine model of &quot;changing architectural history&quot;. It was included in the World Heritage Site in 1985. Although we purchased tickets on Trip.com in advance, we still waited more than half an hour to enter the team (the entrance visit requires women to cover their heads). April is not the peak season for Turkish travel, and many tourists are reminiscent of the pomp of queuing in front of the Forbidden City noon. The Forbidden City was actually built more than 870 years later than the Hagia Sophia Cathedral... The buildings that have been preserved in China for 1500 years seem to only have hanging temples... Ancient Chinese buildings use a lot of wood, which is not easy to save, and the problem is out of the question. ​ In a word, the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul is really amazing and worth a visit

The sunset view of the Bosphorus is very beautiful. It is recommended to go to Emin&ouml;n&uuml; Pier to take a cruise of Turyol Company. You must buy the ticket for the sunset time 2 hours before sunset, and then go to the nearby restaurant to enjoy the food and wait. The most basic pure tour is about 90 minutes, the fare is 150 lira (about &yen;30), you get on the boat by yourself, there is no performance, no explanation, no food and drinks, the boat is average. In fact, the most important thing is to take pictures and enjoy the sunset. There are many places of interest along the coast, and you must not miss the Suleymaniye Mosque and Dolmabah&ccedil;e Palace.
