Miyazaki Hayao didn't deceive me! I've found the real-life 'Castle in the Sky'

🌈Every time I watch Miyazaki Hayao's 'Castle in the Sky', I am deeply attracted by the dreamlike scenes. And this time, I really came to Civita di Bagnoregio, located at the border of Tuscany and Umbria, a place known as the 'Castle in the Sky', as if I've stepped into a real fairy tale world!💖 🚗Departing from Rome, after a two-hour drive, I arrived at this medieval town suspended above a deep valley. At first sight, I was deeply shocked by its unique geographical location and picturesque scenery! The ancient stone paths, mottled stone walls, and simple houses, every inch of land exudes a strong historical charm, making me feel as if I am in the midst of a thousand years of history.🏞️ 🏰DAY1, I visited the ancient city's east gate--Porta San Donato, and felt its weathered solemnity and grandeur. Then, I strolled along the winding paths of the old town, exploring mysterious underground passages and historic churches. Every step was filled with surprises and emotions!🌠 🌄DAY2, I climbed to the top of the town, overlooking the surrounding rolling hills, as if the whole world was at my feet. In the afternoon, I delved into the local folklore museum, learning about the ancient city's way of life and traditional crafts. At dusk, I waited for the sunset at the observation deck, and at that moment, I saw the silhouette of the ancient city under the setting sun, breathtakingly beautiful! This was definitely a visual feast during my travels!🌅 🚗In terms of transportation, I chose to rent a car and drive myself, enjoying the Tuscan countryside scenery along the way. Vehicles are not allowed inside the ancient city, but there is a special parking lot for tourists to park their cars. Afterwards, I entered the old city via a pedestrian bridge, starting my adventure!🚌 💖The trip to Civita di Bagnoregio is not only a dialogue across time and space but also a great opportunity to taste authentic Italian cuisine and experience the unique Italian countryside charm. This carefully planned journey has become an eternal treasure in my heart!💎
