Walking on the country road

After a bumpy 6️⃣-hour journey, we finally arrived at the small town of Mestia in Georgia🇬🇪. Although the journey was long, the scenery was endless. Along the way, there were suspension bridges, waterfalls, green mountains, and clear waters. Unexpectedly, we could see double rainbows🌈 up close, which was super Lucky Lucy! 📍Svaneti Towers in the village of Mestia These towers are the most prominent symbols of the original residential areas in this region. The architectural style is somewhat similar to the watchtowers in Batan Village, Sichuan, China. The tower was built by the Svans (Georgians living in the Svaneti region) in the 8th century to protect their families. The entire tower was constructed entirely by human labor, without any mechanized facilities. Therefore, the Svaneti Towers also symbolize the strength of the family; the stronger and wealthier the family, the more male members it has, and the higher the Svaneti Tower will be. The high towers stand under the blue sky, white clouds, and snow-capped mountains, making them look full of spirit.
