|||A very niche tourist attraction: Wazir. Pakistan's Pink Mosque: So girly!|||A very niche tourist attraction: Wazir Khan Mosque 🕌 Located in the old city of Lahore, the capital of Punjab Province, Pakistan, it is not far from the Delhi Gate. It was built during the reign of Shah Jahan, 1634-1641, which is roughly the late Ming Dynasty in China. Shah Jahan was the builder of the Taj Mahal and the husband of Mumtaz Mahal. Wazir Khan is a personal name, or more accurately, a royal title. His full name is long, so I won't mention it here. He was originally the court physician of Shah Jahan, and later served as the governor of Agra and Lahore, and in 1640 became the Grand Vizier of the Mughal Empire. The Grand Vizier, as I understand it, is similar to the prime minister in ancient China, the Great Minister of Tibet, or the current prime minister, and is the highest minister of the Mughal Empire and the emperor's chief advisor. The flowers on the murals have small scratches, and they should have been inlaid with gold threads or gems at the earliest, but were later removed by Ranjit Singh, the Maharaja of the Sikh Empire, to repair his own palace and the Golden Temple. This mosque combines several art forms, including murals and mosaic tiles, depicting rich geometric patterns, calligraphy, and floral motifs.

Pakistan, officially the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, is a country in South Asia. It is the fifth-most populous country, with a population of over 241.5 million, having the second-largest Muslim population as of 2023. Islamabad is the nation's capital, while Karachi is its largest city and financial centre. Pakistan is the 33rd-largest country by area. Bounded by the Arabian Sea on the south, the Gulf of Oman on the southwest, and the Sir Creek on the southeast, it shares land borders with India to the east; Afghanistan to the west; Iran to the southwest; and China to the northeast. It shares a maritime border with Oman in the Gulf of Oman, and is separated from Tajikistan in the northwest by Afghanistan's narrow Wakhan Corridor.

Wow! Pakistan, this mysterious and charming country, I have long wanted to explore! 🌍💃Next, let me take you on this dream journey! First of all, prepare your friends and go out together! This way the trip will be more interesting and fulfilling! Remember to bring enough money💰 for emergencies. You can directly withdraw rupees with a Hua Xia Bank card there, which is very convenient! For those who have bad gastrointestinal problems, remember to bring your usual medicine to avoid acclimatization. Of course, you can also try some local specialties, such as fragrant curry and naan, which will definitely satisfy you! When you come to Pakistan, how can you miss its beautiful scenery? Faisal Mosque, Clifton Beach, Lahore Fort and Rawal Lake are all must-visit places! There, you can feel the profound cultural heritage and unique customs of Pakistan. In terms of accommodation, I recommend you to stay in some local special hotels or B&Bs, so that you can better integrate into the local life and culture. For example, GOHO Rooms Badar is a good choice. It provides accommodation with private balconies, as well as shared kitchens and lounges, perfect for sharing the joy of traveling with friends. In Pakistan, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, you can also experience some local activities. For example, you can visit a local handicraft shop to buy some unique souvenirs; or go to a local teahouse to taste a cup of fragrant Pakistani tea and feel the local leisurely atmosphere. In short, Pakistan is a country full of charm and surprises. Whether it is food, scenery or culture, it is worth exploring and experiencing. I hope this guide can help you and make your trip to Pakistan fruitful! 🎉🎊
