Lancheng
Jodhpur India
Jodhpur is a charming blue city, and most houses in the old city are sky blue. It is said that in the past, in order to show their noble status, Brahmins with high surnames in the city would paint their houses blue. As a result, people of lower surnames followed suit, and finally the whole city turned blue.
Coming here is like being in the ocean, walking on the streets of the old city, floating on the blue sea, bidding farewell to the noise.
On the westernmost stone of Meilangal Castle, it is an excellent angle overlooking the whole old city. Sitting there watching a sunset and waiting for the orange-red sunset to immerse itself in the blue "ocean" is the most romantic way to feel Jodhpur.
Chev Shawan, Morocco
Surrounded by deep, shallow and endless blue, this is the dream of exclusive Chev Shawan. The narrow blue alley is embedded with doors decorated with various colors. Wandering aimlessly in the blue alley, I met a white cat at the corner, and met an artist who was painting at the entrance of the alley ... Wandering in the quiet blue alley. When the sun sets, this blue town can always give you unexpected surprises.
As for why it is painted blue, there are different reasons. Some people say that it is to prevent mosquitoes, and some people say that Jews believe that God will bless them after painting their houses with natural dye Tekhelel. Later, although a large number of Jews immigrated to France, the custom of blue houses here remained. Local people think that painting their houses in blue is a welcome and respect to their guests, so they will repaint their homes on certain days, which is why you always see such a brand-new blue.
Baicheng
Udaipur, India
A tourist who has been to Udaipur said, "The romance of Udaipur is the wooden doors of ordinary people, the copper locks of hotel rooms, the English afternoon tea in the palace, and a white palace floating in the middle of the lake, as white as a dream." No matter whether the lake is white or not, it is reminiscent of romance and tranquility, and it is true. From New Delhi all the way south, through the plains and deserts of Rajasthan, it is mostly noisy and crowded. But when I entered Udaipur, it seemed a lot quieter at once.
From the beginning, Udaipur stipulated that in order to maintain the unity of the city, all houses must maintain the appearance of white tone, so Udaipur has a beautiful nickname "Baicheng". Living in the "white city" of Udaipur will make you forget that this is India. This is a small town that can be visited in one day, and it is also a harbor that can't stay for a week. This is a city composed of a network of water and people. There are the most exquisite palaces and the most rugged scenery here. This is a northern city unlike India, and it is also one of the most Indian cities.
Although Udaipur has countless artistic buildings, it is best to find a leisurely family holiday home by the lake to really appreciate it. Climb to the roof, see the connected white houses, see what the steps by the Indian River look like, listen to the rhythm of women patting clothes when washing clothes by the river, feel the change of sunshine on the water, and enjoy the process of time passing.
Casablanca, Morocco
"Of all the towns and pubs in the world, she just walked into mine ..." Many people came to see Rick's bar in the movie, and the sweet question was tangled in their hearts: Really, why did Ilsa just walk into Rick's bar?
Unlike the blue of Chev Bay, Casablanca is a white city. Looking from the sea, there is a thin white line between the sea and the sky, a soft beach stretching for dozens of kilometers, various shops, hotels and casinos hidden under palm trees, and the huge Hassan II Mosque stands. Casablanca is both traditional and modern. Just like the movie of the same name, it has been famous since childhood.
Casablanca is the economic center of Morocco, with Morocco's most creative contemporary art and charming architectural heritage. If someone tells you that Casablanca has nothing to see except Hassan II Mosque, it only means that they don't know the city. Casablanca has been a treasure of French colonies since the beginning of the 20th century. There are many Moorish and Art Deco buildings in the city center, with curved corners, carved ribbons and curved wrought iron balconies, which are more charming than movie stories.
Fenhongcheng
Jaipur India
Jaipur is as romantic as its name "Pink City". The whole old city is pink, with pink roofs, pink walls and pink girls' hearts. Even women's saris prefer pink, which is more vivid than other places. /kloc-In the 8th century, the famous leader, Jabin Singh, "color-controlled" the city to make it unique. He ordered all the houses in the city to be painted pink, stipulating that buildings must be built of shallow sandstone, so there was this romantic "city of roses".
If you run to the roof at sunset, you will find that the whole old city is immersed in a pink atmosphere, warm as a castle in a fairy tale in the afterglow of sunset, and the kite in the hand of the little boy next door is chased by the wind through the pink roof.
The Palace of the Wind is a landmark building in Jaipur. It is a pink semi-circular five-story building. There are 953 windows on the wall. There is no spectacular lobby, no gorgeous room behind the wall, only windows like beehives. These windows are hollowed out with red sandstone and are semi-octagonal. The design of the window is very clever, the cool wind blows in gently, the air is cool and the water is cooled. There is also a lot of glass embedded in the Phoenix Palace. Whenever the moon appears in the sky, the whole Phoenix Palace shines like a million stars, and the moonlight is woven, so it also has a romantic name "Gong Yue".
Marrakech, Morocco
Marrakech is the red heart of Morocco. In Berber, Marrakesh means "the hometown of God". There is the largest Berber market (open-air market) in Morocco and the most prosperous square in Africa, which nourishes one side of the land and one side of the people by secret underground water supply system.
When the car approached Marrakech, it seemed as if it had plunged into an ancient city full of exotic customs. The colors on the roadside gradually became strong, and they were all red when you looked around. Because Marrakech is located in the red soil area, the surface and buildings here show a dazzling reddish brown. Red soil adorns the exterior walls of buildings, making the whole city present a unique personality. Both modern buildings and old urban areas are red. Therefore, Marrakech also has the reputation of "red city".
Jincheng
Jasmel, India
Like an abandoned castle, Jayselmel is located in a desolate desert. But as soon as I entered the city, the elaborate buildings inside surprised people. Most buildings are carved from golden rocks. Every sunset, the whole city is covered with gold, like a castle in a fairy tale, and stories happen every night.
The Arabian Nights does record the Mel Castle in Jessel. According to the book, Jessel Mayer was originally a palace in the sky, but was cursed by magic and abandoned in the desolate desert overnight. Jasalmburg is one of the oldest castles in Rajasthan with a history of more than 800 years. There is no king in the castle now, and there are no soldiers guarding the walls. The castle has not been transformed into a scenic spot, but thousands of people live in it and become a living castle.
Moroccan Sahara desert
Everyone who comes to Morocco has his own unique reasons. No matter what the reason, everyone can't escape from the Sahara desert. Sahara means desert in Arabic. This desert, which is equivalent to the size of the United States, occupies one third of the African continent. It is one of the hottest places on the earth and one of the most unsuitable places for living things, but it is one of the places that many people dream of all their lives. San Mao said the most romantic love words to the world here. "Every time I miss you, a grain of sand falls from the sky, and the Sahara has been formed since then."
Walking through the endless sand dunes, when the rose-colored Erg Chebbi sand dunes appear in the Sahara sky that gradually fades to violet, looking up at the stars in the vast desert or waiting for the sunrise in the Sahara, it seems that San Mao's Story of the Sahara has been read again.
