Wow! Those of you who are going to Pamukkale, Türkiye for the first time, look here.

This place is rated by the National Geographic Channel as "one of the 50 global wonders you must visit in your lifetime"👏! It is called God's overturned milk bottle🥛. It is a dual world heritage site of nature and culture, the landscape is super unique🤩! The hot spring flows down from the top of the cave, washing the hillside into a stepped shape. The white pond is matched with the light blue spring water. Looking down from above, it looks like a snow-covered volcano that has just erupted. Famous attractions such as Pamukkale, the ancient city of Hierapolis, and hot spring baths are all within one scenic area. ✈️Transportation: 🚌Tourists usually go to Denizli first, and take a minibus from the train station or bus terminal to Pamukkale. The ticket is about 4.5 liras, and the journey takes about 30 minutes, with buses leaving every 15 minutes. 🚗If you drive yourself, there are many winding mountain roads on the road, so be prepared. Enter from the south gate of the scenic area and park your car in the south gate parking lot. The parking fee is 5 lira. 🏰What to do: Tickets are 700 lira, including the terraces and the ancient city, and the baths and museums are charged separately. It is recommended to walk down the mountain in the order of Hierapolis Ancient City → Thermal Baths → Ancient Theater → Travertine Terraces. 📍Ancient City of Hierapolis: A must-visit, the ruins include churches, baths and other large sites. Although they are in ruins, it is super shocking to see them with your own eyes. It’s on the north side of the scenic area and you’ll have to walk for a while. 📍Ancient Roman Hot Springs: Recommended to check in, it’s an open-air hot spring. It is said that Cleopatra once bathed there. After the earthquake, many pillars sank into the pool. There are a lot of food for sale inside, and the prices are slightly high. 📍Ancient Theater: It is recommended to check in. The Roman theater built in the 2nd century BC is well preserved. It can accommodate 15,000 people. There are statues of Greek gods at the main entrance, and the ruins of the Temple of Apollo can be seen in front of the theater. 📍Museum: Additional fee, located in the original Roman baths, divided into 3 separate exhibition areas. 📍Travertine terraces: a must-visit, the most photogenic! It was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1988. Don’t miss the sunset over the terraced fields. The white rock faces and blue springs are stunning under the golden glow. The hot spring water flows down from the top of the mountain, and after thousands of years, it has settled into layers of white steps. The top of the mountain is dry, and the lower you go, the more barren it becomes. The water is shallow, about 36 degrees. Some parts of the water hurt your feet and some parts are slippery. If you can't wear shoes, just use your hands. 🥣What to eat: There is a food court near the South Gate. Netizens recommend "Chinese Restaurant" and Tikir Grill House.
