Registan
梦梦游人daydreamer| Samarkand | Registan Square Blue
Hour
After seeing the architectural complex in Samarkand, everything else is boring
The Registan Square at the blue hour is simply invincible! !
Registan Square Registan St , Samarkand , Samarqand Region , Uzbekistan
The main building is the most beautiful one among the three madrasas. It really feels like walking into the world of One Thousand and One Nights
1: If you don’t buy a ticket, you can only take panoramic photos at the P2 observation deck. You can’t enter the square to visit. You have to go to the ticket window on the left side of the square to buy tickets. In July, only cash was accepted. I don’t know if credit cards can be used now
The ticket price is about 50,000sum30 RMB. You must go in and take a look. It’s so beautiful that you are speechless! !
d: All three buildings are easy to take pictures, but the pillar on the left is indeed crooked. It was also crooked when taking pictures, but it doesn’t affect the casual shooting. It’s a big picture! !
Since we got off the bus, people kept coming to chat and take photos. They even lined up behind us. From young people to middle-aged people, most of them were very friendly. The locals were really enthusiastic. There were three teenage girls who kept chatting with us and said they liked it very much and it was the country they wanted to visit the most. They were so proud of it.
:In the building, there are official Samarkand unique pattern handmade wooden refrigerator magnets and ornaments for sale. They are very beautiful. The price ranges from 25 to several hundred or several thousand RMB (I forgot to take pictures. There will be some worth buying and collecting in the vlog later. There are also several small shops selling souvenirs.
/:After dark, the square building lights up and officially enters the blues moment. It is beautiful! It is so beautiful that I don’t want to leave when I sit on the ground and can’t help sighing (but it’s pitch black when I take pictures of people at this time, hahaha)
:Around 20:00 is the busiest time for the commercial street outside the square. You must go there. There are all kinds of snacks and small double-decker sightseeing cars full of fireworks.
p15. The ones sold in the box are very delicious. They gave us one for free. I kept thinking about it until I saw it outside the airport. It was twice as expensive.
Bibi-Khanym Mosque
Zzinnia_615Bibi-Khanym Mosque is an important historical site in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Don’t miss it. The entrance fee is 40,000sum. Opposite is the Tomb of Bibi Khanum (Picture 11)
Historical background:
-This mosque was built on the order of Timur, ca.
1399 to 1405. After Timur returned victoriously from his campaign in India, he decided to build a grand Qingqi Temple in his capital, Samarkand, to show the majesty and glory of the empire. Its name "Bibi Khanum" is the name of Timur's wife. Legend has it that Timur used this to commemorate his Chinese wife. However, the "China" here does not refer to the dynasty, but the east of Timur's empire, which is actually the Mongolian region. Timur's wife is a Turkic Mongolian and the princess of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
Xin building scale and structure:
- Magnificent size: The Bibi Khanum Mosque is one of the largest mosques in Central Asia, with a 38-meter-high porch and a 41-meter main dome. It was also a huge building in the Islamic world at that time, able to accommodate about 10,000 people. Pilgrims.
Shah-i-Zinda
舍舍讷费尔德柳如是It's so beautiful! I didn't feel like I was visiting a cemetery at all! It was like a beautiful park! The ticket was not expensive. The first few dozen steps were a bit high because it was hot, so it was a bit tiring to climb up. But once I got to the arch, it was super comfortable. It was cool and I didn't want to leave after sitting there.
Afrosiab History Museum
LLikeGorUzbekistan, a small Central Asian country, does not feel high in the eyes of many people, and there are few tourists here. But it has a long history, a leisurely life, and it is lingering.
Ulugh Beg Observatory
NNcholckThe Ulegh Beg Observatory visit was one of my most anticipated planned visits on my trip and it did not dissapoint. Beutiful tranquil place with nice little museam and park benches around it to sit and reflect on how much the mans early discoveries has meant to mankind.
Prophet Daniel Mausoleum
DDr BPA pretty park area of Samarkand - green, with a canal, worth hanging out at for a few hours. The tomb itself is nothing special.....a very long coffin, as the local belief is that Daniel's body continues to grow, so the coffin is extended every few years - I think it is currently around 20 meters.Although there is no evidence St Daniel's body is actually here, it's interesting to see pilgrims from all over the world coming to visit.
