✈️ After landing in Tehran, without any rest, I took a 2.5-hour bus ride directly to Kashan. 🚩 Kashan is known as an oasis in the desert, famous for its roses. The most renowned attraction here is the Fin Garden, which is considered a paradise in the eyes of Iranians. In fact, the word 'paradise' originates from Persian, where they believe that a place with water and gardens, secluded from the mundane world, is paradise. 🏡 Fin Garden, pronounced Bagh-e Fin in Persian, is named after a village called Fin nearby. It is a historic Persian garden. 🎙 It is said that it might have existed before the Safavid dynasty, but the current buildings were completed in 1590 under the rule of Abbas I. Later monarchs, such as Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, expanded it. It is the oldest surviving traditional Persian garden in Iran and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2012. ⛲️ The garden features various pools and fountains, with water sourced from the nearby Suleimanieh mountain spring. Its unique irrigation system allows the mountain spring water to flow into the pools and irrigate the plants without any pressure tools. 🏰 The garden's architecture includes the main entrance, walls, bathhouses, the private residence of Emperor Abbas, museums, etc. It is a must-visit spot for tourists in Kashan. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens to better capture the beauty of Persian architecture. 🦹‍♀️ Iranian children are very enthusiastic and not shy. When they see Chinese people, they come up to take photos with you. A dozen kids took turns, and I almost missed the departing bus. 🌟 There are also two ancient mansions in Kashan, which belonged to local merchants. They look ordinary from the outside, but once you step into the courtyard, it's a whole different world, definitely worth a visit. 💰 The entrance fee for Fin Garden is 2 US dollars for foreigners. It's very cheap for Iranians. Chinese tour guides charge 100-200 US dollars/day during the peak season, and 30-100 dollars/day during the off-season. English tour guides charge 60-100 dollars/day during the peak season, and 30-60 dollars/day during the off-season. Package deals are even cheaper.

🇮🇷Kashan, Iran: Agha Bozorg Mosque✔️ After returning to Tehran by plane from Qeshm Island, the two restless people decided not to miss any attractions in Iran and decided to take a day trip to Kashan. Tehran is more than 200 kilometers away from Kashan. At first, we called Snap, but unfortunately no one was willing to take the order. Then, we ran to the previous youth hostel and asked the local Iranians to help call a car. Fortunately, our drivers are always very interesting. This time it was a handsome local brother who agreed to pick us up and drop us off. He introduced us to the attractions along the way, took us to buy Persian carpets, helped us negotiate prices and bargains, and bought us ice cream. Maybe having two Chinese girls by his side in Iran also makes him feel very proud~ The Agha Bozorg Mosque we went to this time was also driven by this brother. It was built in the 19th century, symmetrical in shape, and consists of four parts: a sunken courtyard with a purification pool; a very simple dome; a minaret built with tiles and a very tall spire. The wooden front door has many patterns and mosaic patterns. Because this mosque is relatively niche, there are no tourists when we go in. The angles we shoot are all taught by a local old man. At first, we thought he would charge a fee and didn't dare to let him shoot. In the end, I found out that he just left with a smile after taking the pictures. He doesn't want money either. So far, whether it's the beautiful scenery I've seen in Iran or the people I've met, they all make me very healed. Their simplicity and kindness also slowly calm my restless heart~ ⚠️The basement is not allowed to go, because the Islamic University is still in use. Dress code: The mosque will provide a floral robe Business hours 09: 30-18: 00 💰Free

It has also become the most popular tourist destination for Iranians. Many tourists from Tehran are driving. We met a shy and childlike Persian girl. The beauty of the Persian is simply born. It is sweet as an angel.

When I was looking for accommodation in Kashan, I followed the navigation to an unknown home. The hotel was next to the old house. The entrance was not eye-catching, but there was a hole in the sky, a very beautiful courtyard, and a complimentary breakfast every day. The first stop we stayed in was like a treasure. Together with the beautiful big sister from Poland, I went up to the top of the building and said it was early. I thought I was wrong, so weird. How can the Polish say good morning? She explained that she has been in Taiwan for three years and will speak Chinese a little bit and can only communicate briefly.

The most famous attractions in Kashan are the ancient houses left by the rich in ancient times and the Fain Garden, which is about 7 km from the city. What I want to go most is a bathroom roof that looks like an alien base. The Ahmed Sultan bathroom has a history of 500 years and now no one has gone to the bath because of the special building turned into an attraction. The bathroom has a complex array of patterns with blue floors, and the bathroom is divided into rooms with different functions, which are very cool. The most amazing thing is the roof of the bathroom, a dozen different sizes of blue dome-like lights, which seem to be at the base of the aliens. The lights are full of fantasy and the thoughts are taken at once. To outer space.

When we were looking for accommodation in Kashan, we didn't intend to walk into a courtyard. A unique fountain was set in the courtyard. Then there was a hole in the sky. It was a bigger courtyard. I was suddenly stunned by this kind of Persian. I was fascinated by the accommodation. When I asked about the hotel, I decided to stay. I met the landlord early in the morning. He mysteriously led us to the roof to watch the sunrise, and quietly told us that the old house next to the big family was just around the corner. At the moment when the city just woke up, we were unscrupulous. Enjoy the unique cleanliness. Just as I walked to another roof, I heard a familiar "Hello~", a surprise, but there was no Chinese around. A Polish sister greeted us with a good Chinese. She~" met a Polish-speaking sister who spoke Chinese in a foreign country. She studied psychology in Taiwan for four years, and Mandarin also came to her hand. We talked about Chinese cuisine from the beauty of Taiwan, from the travel story to the daily life, the two people with different cultural backgrounds are like the same people who are endlessly reminiscent of the old, forget the identity, we are all curious about the world. This incredible unexpected encounter is the most moving charm of travel.
