梨花落🍀As the first site in Azerbaijan to be awarded the title of World Cultural Heritage, the Old City of Baku has completely preserved medieval buildings such as the 12th-century city walls, the Maiden Tower, and the Shirvanshah Palace, reflecting the integration of Persian, Arab, and Caucasian civilizations. The streets in the old city are mostly paved with uneven stones or cobblestones. Walking slowly on them, you can slowly appreciate the ancient buildings and unique specialty shops on both sides of the street. Occasionally, the locals will greet you enthusiastically with a not-so-standard "hello". This experience is wonderful!
5.0/5梨花落🍀The Bustan Rock Paintings are located in the Gobustan Mountain area of Azerbaijan and are a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. In this rocky highland, there are more than 6,000 exquisite rock carvings. These carvings have smooth lines, allowing people to see rock art from 4,000 to 20,000 years ago. The earliest rock paintings can be traced back to 20,000 years ago, and the latest has a history of 5,000 years. The time span extends from the early Paleolithic Age to the Middle Ages. They are witnesses to the life, culture, and worldview of the ancient Azerbaijanis, and provide precious information for studying the historical changes and social development of the region from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages.

54.9/5梨花落🍀Azerbaijan means "the country of fire" in Persian, and has a profound fire culture. The Fire Temple, located on the outskirts of the capital Baku, was built in the 17th and 18th centuries by Persians or Indian immigrants who believed in Zoroastrianism and was originally used for sacrificial activities. Zoroastrianism (Zoroastrianism) originated in ancient Persia 3,000 years ago. The Fire Temple is a concrete manifestation of its beliefs. It has now been transformed into a museum to display the history of Zoroastrianism. Tickets are required to enter and the price is 9 manats, about RMB 35.

Karen晓喵Located at the highest point of the old city of Baku, the Shirvanshah Palace was built in the 15th century and is a shining pearl in the history of Azerbaijan architecture. The main entrance of the palace is decorated with a gatehouse and is located on the west side of the palace. The stairs of the gatehouse lead to the high octagonal hall with a dome. In 2000, the Shirvanshah Palace was listed as a World Cultural Heritage along with the old city of Baku.

长脸张少侠[Flame Towers] Baku Flame Towers is a modern urban style luxury residential project, consisting of three independent flame-shaped skyscrapers. The entire project cost about 350 million US dollars. It is a typical landmark building that not only continues the historical imprint of the city, but also incorporates the latest international architectural elements. This unique and novel design is inspired by Baku's historical nickname "City of Fire". The fire temple and the endless fire all show that the local residents have worshipped the source of fire since ancient times. The Flame Towers are located on a hill near the port in the city center. The three dynamic flame buildings are of different heights, each with different performances: the main building (theater) enjoys the highest visibility in the city and is clearly visible from different angles of the city. It can be said to be the first gathering point in Baku, with high-end office buildings and large commercial centers as the main buildings; the 190-meter luxury residential building on the south side is also the tallest of the three buildings, with 130 luxury suites distributed proportionally on the 39 floors inside. The excellent urban bay view adds more splendid colors to each luxury house; the Flame Tower at the north corner is fully taken over by the world's top hotel chain Fairmont Hotels, with a total of 318 luxury rooms on 36 floors.

风筝爱旅行The National History Museum of Azerbaijan is very small and is located in a very inconspicuous building. I am interested in how it has played its role in recording the development of Azerbaijan, especially the war and conflicts with Armenia, as well as the relations with Russia, Turkey and China. The first map in the exhibition is quite meaningful, declaring the sovereignty of the disputed territories between Azerbaijan and Armenia. This makes me look forward to going to the National Museum of Armenia next time, what kind of voice will it make? This may be one of the charms of the museum [sly smile]
