Turkey | Falling into a dreamy cotton castle.

Pamukkale, as soon as you hear the name, you feel very gentle. It makes people think of the feeling of clouds. Such a lovely name comes from its appearance like a castle covered with cotton. It is hard limestone terrain. Pamukkale is located in the north of Denizli, Turkey, and it is also one of my wish places. The so-called "cotton" refers to the spring water flowing down from the top of the mountain. Round white natural limestone steps. "Castle" means that it is composed of this hillside, layer by layer, shaped like a castle, hence the name Pamukkale. Pamukkale is a miracle of nature. There are not only thousands of years of natural hot springs and white cliffs, but also cotton-like hills. The water flows down the cliffs, forming cotton-colored stalactites and basins. Uncanny workmanship has created such a wonderful fairyland. The spring water contains high-quality iron. Such an environment is not only a sustenance for emotions but also curative for the body. It is a well-known hot spring resort. Countless trickles flow down from the gaps between the hills and rocks. Under the strong sunlight, it turns into mist, and the terraced fields made of edelweiss seem to be in a faint, illusory fairyland... In fact, the calcium-laden hot spring water cools as it falls from the cliffs, and the deposited calcium forms the distinctive limestone shelves, pools, and stalactite formations that surround the ridge above the town like a clump of edelweiss. ... Tips: 1. Tickets: The ticket price of Pamukkale is 60 Turkish liras, and those who pay for the Turkish bath and sightseeing bus can also choose to buy hot spring tickets; 2. It takes about 4 hours to drive from Fethiye to Pamukkale. It is recommended that the babies set off at seven or eight in the morning after staying in Pamukkale; 3. If you take pictures early or after 5 pm, there will be fewer people and it will be easier to take portraits; 4. There is no pollution here, the sky is clear and blue, the ultraviolet rays are extremely strong, and it is easy to get tanned. It is recommended to wear a hat and sunglasses, not only for concave shape but also for sun protection; 5. Remember to bring a bag for shoes, some places are very slippery, so be careful;
