Turkish Journey- Pasha Bay Elf Chimney

Paşabağı, located in the north of Cappadocia, is the gathering place of the most beautiful and lovely fairy chimneys in the entire region, and is a magical natural landscape that cannot be missed. Paşabağı is rugged and natural, with fairy chimneys of different sizes and heights, some with multiple heads and pointed caps, and various shapes, which are very special. Some are connected in a row, some stand alone, and from a distance, they look like a village connected to another village, or a group of brothers standing next to another group of brothers. Fairy chimneys are also called "mushroom stones". Each stone pillar with a small hat looks like a mushroom drilled out of the ground, and the color of these "hats" is slightly darker than the white limestone column body, which is more similar to mushrooms. In fact, these are extra-large cone-shaped rock layers, slowly weathered rocks, creating a unique wonder in the world.

Göreme Open Air Museum
One of the world's most beautiful towns, Turkey's Göreme town. Göreme is located in eastern Turkey, the westernmost point of the Asian continent, with unique landforms in the Cappadocia region, specifically in the province of Nevşehir in central Anatolia. Around the 14th century BC, the Hittite people lived here by carving caves, and the Hittite kingdom was once the most powerful country in western Asia. Göreme is a small town running north and south. It takes only half an hour to walk back and forth in the bustling area at the center of the town. Various small shops are scattered along the road, selling everything from cushion covers, felt hats, old doorbells, fridge magnets, postcards, to spinning begging bowls of monks. Whatever souvenir you want, you can find it here. The volcanic ash in Greyme has been weathered and eroded by rainwater for millions of years, forming countless strange rock formations that resemble both needle mushrooms and skinny chimneys, known as "fairy chimneys". In these seemingly barren cliffs, there are countless rock-cut churches, cave dwellings, and underground city ruins hidden. /Göreme's open-air museum is located in a valley, condensed with the characteristics and scenery of Cappadocia. It was once a gathering place for Christians after the 9th century. Many Christians took refuge in these caves, leaving murals on the walls and decorating the caves into churches. The walls of the caves still retain the images of characters from the Bible to this day, faintly discernible. /Attention! Introduce the super popular internet-famous carpet store, also the largest one in the town. It's very close to "Meihua Chinese Restaurant". From afar, you can see all kinds of beautiful carpets hanging at their door. It's even more amazing inside the store.
