Esfahan is a great place to visit for a free trip to Iran

Friends ask how is Iran? I thought for two seconds and replied 'urbanized'. Apart from the attractions, it could be any city in the country. The locals I met were all very friendly, and the most I heard were 'Salam' and 'welcome to Esfahan', and of course, the word 'qin' that comes out when they see an Asian face. The attractions in Esfahan are mainly around Imam Square. On a good weather day, the square's lawn is for children playing football and locals picnicking. To the south is the Imam Mosque, to the east is the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, to the west is the Ali Qapu Palace, to the north leads to the bazaar, the old square, and the Jameh Mosque, and to the northwest is the Chehel Sotoun Palace, all of which can be walked through. The Si-o-se-pol Bridge and Khaju Bridge span the not-so-wide Zayandeh River. At night, it's lively with locals singing and dancing. Unfortunately, the riverbed was dry when I visited, so I couldn't capture the reflection of the bridge arches in the water. The Vank Cathedral in the Armenian district is just a tourist spot, without faith and candles, and the Iranian flag stands outside the dome church. Foreigners pay an entrance fee of 2 million rials Practical information, 🔹Esfahan's Kaveh Bus Terminal 🔸Azadegan Tea House is a very interesting restaurant with reasonable prices and an enthusiastic owner 🔸Shahrzad is an established restaurant with a nice environment, good trout, an additional 10% service charge, but still asks for a tip at checkout 🔸Mollabashi combines accommodation and dining, the courtyard is extremely beautiful, very photogenic, with a small exhibition hall, charges an entrance fee of 2 million rials at checkout, it's uncertain whether locals need to pay, and I'm puzzled by the practice of charging an entrance fee for those who have consumed (afternoon tea) in the shop, and there is no notice upon entry. 🔹Shopping recommendations around the square's bazaar and local designer shops
