Bogota: Encounter a literary and artistic dream journey in the depths of time in Colombia

Stepping into Bogotá is like turning the pages of a heavy and poetic book, each page filled with the city’s unique charm and soul. In the early morning, the sun shines gently on the ancient stone pavement. I wandered through the La Candelaria neighborhood, the historic heart of Bogota. Baroque and colonial architecture are intertwined, the walls are covered with mottled years, and the carved terraces seem to tell the stories of the past. The streets and alleys are filled with the strong aroma of coffee. Walk into a small shop and order a cup of Colombian uniquely fragrant coffee, paired with a piece of sweet pastry, to start a beautiful day in the warm sunshine. As you go along the streets, the art grows. The colorful graffiti on the walls are dizzying. They are either abstract or realistic, and each one contains the creator's deep thinking about life and society. The graffiti is more than an expression of art, it is the cry of the free soul of the city of Bogotá. At noon, came to Piazza Bolivar. In the center of the square stands the statue of Simon Bolivar, with a determined gaze, overlooking the city for which he once fought. The grand surroundings bear witness to the historical changes of Bogotá, and the Cathedral House is solemn and solemn, as if whispering the splendor and vicissitudes of the past. Here, history and reality blend, one can’t help but immerse oneself in the city’s deep cultural undertones. Afternoon, walk into the museums of Bogota. Inside the Gold Museum, the dazzling array of gold products shine with mystery. Beautifully shaped and exquisitely crafted, these ancient works of art demonstrate the indigenous intelligence and creativity of Colombian natives who excel. Behind each exhibit, there is a unique historical story that carries the faith and inheritance of the people in this land. When night falls, Bogota puts on another charming face. I came to a local tavern with live Salsa music playing enthusiastically. People danced to the rhythm with happy smiles on their faces. I couldn’t help but join in, feeling the joy and freedom that music and dance brought. The people in the tavern come from different backgrounds but come together because of the music, this kind of exchange and integration across boundaries is the charm of Bogota. Back at the residence, the city lights flash outside the window. A day in Bogotá has the precipitation of history, the nourishment of art, the revelry of music, and the most sincere emotions between people. The city is like a beautiful psalm, every note, every word, touches my heart deeply. Here, time seems to become slow and gentle, making people intoxicated and reluctant to leave. The trip to Bogota was a spiritual exploration, a beautiful memory engraved in time.
