Traveling in Iran, Shiraz is a city that will not be missed no matter how the route is designed.
And the first stop I visited in Shiraz was the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, which was also called the Pink Mosque because its glazed exterior was the pinkest pick. Built in 1876, the mosque is well preserved and is a must-see for Shiraz. Entering the temple, the main hall is divided into two buildings, usually going straight to the right side of the building.
Looks outside, it is not conspicuous, but as soon as you walk in, it is amazing, more than ten oblique snake-shaped pillars prop up the entire hall, each pillar has a colorful and complex tile pattern at the top, the sun shines through the color The window was projected, sprinkled on the pillars, and the beautiful Persian rug on the pavilion, the colorful and colorful, like a kaleidoscope, dazzling.
The building is actually small, but this row of colored glass windows creates its soul, and countless travelers and tourists come here.
Because Iran is in the northern hemisphere, the angle of the sun is high in the summer, and it is necessary to go to the winter to see the scene where the ground is full of light and shadow. Moreover, after 8 o'clock in the morning, the tour group will come, too many people, if you want to go, remember to be early!
The Chinese call him the Pink Mosque because the morning sun shines through the window into the room, and the whole mosque is named after beautiful pink. Unfortunately, we went in summer. The mosque opened at 8 o'clock. When we entered at 8 o'clock, the sun had risen too high and the angle was wrong. We could not see the pink of the whole room, but we could only see the beautiful shadow of the flower windows. To see pink is only in spring, autumn and winter.
It is recommended to arrive before 8 am, after 8:30, many people will start, the aunt inside will help you recommend a good place for light and shadow, and will also set up a skirt, only someone can take pictures for you~
Iran's hottest Internet red punching point, in Shiraz the hottest Chinese must go to one of the attractions! Every morning when the sun shines in the door, it is the most beautiful time to take pictures. The colorful stained glass is very suitable for posing.
At first glance, it's not very amazing, just like most Islamic mosques, which are simple in appearance and bright in interior. Look again, the early morning sunshine through the window, projected on the pink carpet, forming a strange, colorful geometric patterns, they are bright or light, or thick or light, as brilliant as fireworks, and like a rainbow of dazzling. It's like using up all the colors in the world. At this time, you step on your feet, hold your breath, and look through this illusion gently and quietly. Dome, wall, pillar, western art style; pattern, pattern, color, Islamic sculpture skills, the integration of eastern and Western art, has been perfectly reflected in her body.
The official name of the mosque in front of us is Mock Mosque, which is also commonly known as the Pink Mosque because the color of the glaze on its exterior wall is pink. It has a small and luxurious front, but it is sitting on the reputation of Iran's most beautiful mosque, attracting every foreign tourist to Shiraz. The main gate of the mosque is an ancient wooden door with exquisite copper patterns on it. Using the waiting time before opening the door, we stood under the arch of the mosque door and looked up. The top of our head was a quarter-circle spherical honeycomb structure. The top and outer walls were covered with exquisite glazed tiles. The craft was very exquisite. The pink mosque opened at 8 o'clock on time. We queued up to buy 150,000 rials per person and entered the mosque. First of all, we can see a rectangular courtyard with a pool in the center. The whole courtyard is very spacious. In front of the pool is also a honeycomb vault. Above it are two low minarets. The reflections in the pool are clearly visible. The pool is symmetrical on both sides, with the prayer hall on the right and the exhibition hall on the left. We grabbed the focus and went directly to the prayer hall to take pictures of the sunlight shining through the colored windows into the interior. The exterior of the prayer hall looks very ordinary. The exterior walls are still beautifully patterned with blue glazed tiles. A large window is covered by white sheets and even looks a little ugly. But after entering the room, the scene immediately gives people a visual shock. More than a dozen twisted serpentine pillars in the middle support the whole prayer hall, each of which is carved with complex patterns. The ground is covered with exquisite Persian carpets. The sunlight is projected through stained glass. The light is painted and sprinkled on the carpet, which achieves the perfect combination of color and lines. It is the first time that we have seen the magnificent interior of the mosque. We are deeply shocked, amazed and surprised. Shock is deep in tranquility, magic is permeated with religion in nature, surprise is pursuit besides belief. Early visitors are all ready to come, so at this moment, we are grabbing the time to take pictures on the top of the colored carpet or the place where the sun shines. For a time, the function of this prayer hall changed from religion to art, and people's hearts were baptized as well. We spent a lot of time in this prayer hall. Besides taking photos, we also sat quietly on the carpet for a moment, feeling the tranquility in the rare elegance. Then it's easier to visit the pink mosque. Again through the courtyard pool into the opposite showroom, which is a very simple brick interior, spacious and bright space showing some of the characters and story pictures at that time. Because I don't know the background, I just take a look at it. It's the interior of this building with arch pillars. In the simple style of stained glass windows and arc-top tiles, it shows the thick sense of history of this centuries-old mosque. In the small room in the showroom, there is a well, which used to be a reservoir for cattle to transport water. Today, the well head of this deep well is closed by the iron gate, and only the light projected from the well is noticeable. Further down there is a deep underground corridor, this pink mosque is a bit quiet and deep.
Very popular place is still quite distinctive. The light from the stained glass windows is very good in the interior decoration of the beautiful mosaic. Many people are taking pictures. There is a very kind lady who will remind you to bring a headscarf and wear Hijab. After all, it is in the mosque. Respect for religious practices
