Baku | Yanardag has been burning for a thousand years in Azerbaijan

| Yanardag has been burning for a thousand years in Azerbaijan. 🔥 Natural gas seeps from the ground, and it has been burning for a millennium. 🎫 Ticket price: 9 Manat 🚕🚘🚌 How to get there 📍 Directly locate Yanardag 🚕 You can take a taxi from the city center, which costs about 8 Manat. Use Yango or other ride-hailing apps for a fixed online payment, so you don't have to worry about the driver overcharging. 🔙 If you are worried about calling a taxi back to the city center, ask the driver to wait for you there for a while; you can leave after spending at most half an hour at this place. 🚌 There are day tours that basically all go here, but they also include the Fire Temple and Mud Volcanoes, and it takes a whole day to visit them all. If you are not interested in other attractions, it's better not to join a tour. 📸🖼️🔥 Three photo spots 1️⃣ The Flame It's actually a very small fire; you can crouch down to take a picture or shoot from a higher angle to make the flames appear more plentiful. 2️⃣ Yanardag Sign Above the flames, it looks good to take a picture of the whole sign or just a few letters separately. 3️⃣ Mountain Top Platform It's called the mountain top, but it's actually just a few steps up. The area at the top is quite open, and you can run to take some dynamic photos. ⚠️ It's really a small scenic area; you can see the whole place at a glance as soon as you enter. But it's still worth a visit. ⚠️ If you want to take more photos, it's best not to join a tour. I stayed there for less than half an hour and saw two groups of tourists coming and going. The tour guides didn't leave much time for photos after telling the story. ⚠️ Be careful, it's dangerous. Do not cross the red line on the ground when visiting and taking photos.
