    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 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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
