It takes just four hours to reach the ancient country conquered by Genghis Khan

🏜️ When I set foot on the land of Samarkand, it felt as if I had entered a fairyland forgotten by time. Here, the blue buildings stretch like an ocean, breathtakingly beautiful, as if the stories from 'One Thousand and One Nights'🌙 are being enacted in reality. If you plan to come here, I strongly recommend these four attractions🌇, whose beauty is enough to intoxicate any 'special forces' in just one day. However, due to the large number of tourists, to fully appreciate and photograph, we chose to visit over two days, and there was still plenty of time. ✨Shah-i-Zinda necropolis: This is a must-visit in Samarkand, 🐴 especially the stunning Avenue of Mausoleums. Although it only takes 20 minutes to stroll around, finding the perfect photo spot might require some waiting. If you can get up early, this will be your first stop, with photography📸 and sightseeing, 1 hour is enough. ✨Registan Square: As the oldest square in Samarkand⏳, it is filled with a sense of historical weight. When buying tickets, if you have a camera📷, you might be recommended to purchase a photography ticket🎫 (but only needed for indoor shooting). I recommend you come here at the end of the day's journey, as there is a wonderful light show at night, and the light at sunset🌇 is so beautiful it makes your heart flutter💗. ✨Bibi-Khanym Mosque: This mosque🕌 is known as one of the most representative buildings in Central Asia, and although it has suffered from earthquakes, it still shines brightly after restoration. ✨Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum: This is the mausoleum of Tamerlane and his descendants, like a small garden🌸. The dome of the building is gorgeous and exquisite, forming a perfect picture with the surrounding environment. The last two attractions are not very big, half an hour each is enough to fully experience. 🚉Transportation: The attractions in Samarkand are very close to each other, 🚗 taking a taxi is very cheap, almost not exceeding RMB ten yuan to connect all transportation👍 🎫Tickets: The ticket prices for the above attractions are very affordable, only a few tens of RMB, and support card or cash payment. 🗓Itinerary: Day 1: 📍Bukhara Day 2:📍Khiva Old Town Day 3: 📍Khiva. Samarkand Day 4:📍 Samarkand Full Day Tour Day 5:📍Samarkand Tashkent Day 6: 📍Tashkent Day 7:📍Tashkent Almaty Samarkand·Samarkand Region
