An ancient castle with Islamic style

1. The first stop in Putrajaya is naturally the famous Pink Mosque (Masjid Putra). 2. It is said to be modeled after the Hassan II Mosque in Morocco: half on the riverbank and half on the water. The mosque is exquisitely elegant, with a playful pink "makeup," like a graceful girl dressing up by the river. Unfortunately, we happened to catch the prayer time, and tourists were not allowed to enter the mosque. 3. On the left side of the Pink Mosque is a green-roofed Islamic building that looks like an old castle with Islamic style, just like the buildings we saw in the villages of Xinjiang. However, it is the majestic Malaysian Prime Minister's Office. 4. There is another eye-catching attraction in Putrajaya: Astaka Morocco, which is a bit like the national pavilions built during the Shanghai World Expo. I saw some tourists call it the "Moroccan Pavilion." Since it is built among flowers and trees, it is also called the "Moroccan Garden." The name doesn't matter, but the content inside is what attracts us. The beautiful dome, solemn columns, intricate carvings, complex geometric patterns, and colorful mosaic tiles, combined with soft Arabic calligraphy and Islamic patterns, instantly transport you to the golden age of the Arab Empire a thousand years ago. 5. More than a thousand years ago, the Arab Empire entered its golden age, with its territory stretching from Morocco in the west to India in the east, from the Caucasus in the north to the Sahara Desert in the south, covering an area of more than 10 million square kilometers, spanning three continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa, and was the largest country in the world at that time. 6. Today's Morocco has long returned to its original "North African" territory, and the most well-known city is probably the spy-filled Casablanca. I have never been to Morocco, and I don't know if I will have the chance in this life. Thanks to Putrajaya, I got a glimpse of its beautiful figure. 7. Finally, there is the "fresh" Putrajaya Lake Park. The whole lake is quiet and leisurely, and you can hide in the shade of the trees and quietly admire the Pink Mosque and the Prime Minister's Office on the other side of the lake. Water birds occasionally fly over the lake, and the scene is so beautiful.
