Hot air balloon

A Cappadocia hot air balloon ride is a must-do in Cappadocia. Due to the lava formed after the volcanic eruption, the strange terrain formed after natural wind erosion, the derivation of valleys, the folds of mountains, the curved rivers, the scattered market towns, everything is in a bird's eye view. It was once selected as one of the top ten beauties of the earth by the American "National Geographic" magazine. There are many hot air balloons in the morning, and giant balloons of various colors are flying all over the sky, just like a fairy tale world. If you don't have a chance to ride a hot air balloon, but happen to live next to these launch sites, you can get up early and take some photos, almost every one of which can be used as a postcard. The flying conditions in Cappadocia are quite good and can be flown most early mornings from April to October each year. Waiting for the moment when the hot air balloon rises, when the rising sun gradually renders this piece of loess, the magnificent and magical scenery under our feet becomes more and more beautiful and moving. As the altitude climbs, there are dazzling sunrises, mountains and morning fog on one side, and canyons, caves and a swarm of colorful hot air balloons on the other. Standing high in the sky, overlooking the magical lunar landscape of Cappadocia in the soft sunlight of the sunrise, be amazed by the magic of nature. Since hot air balloons are driven by wind, there is no guarantee of a specific flight path on a given day. Tourists need to bring a map, otherwise they will not know where the ground is in the sky. Experienced pilots control the direction and altitude, and they move smoothly through canyons, as if playing hide-and-seek with rock chimneys. Sometimes the hot air balloon will fly very close to the rock wall, as if you can reach out and touch it. Sometimes the hot air balloon will float high in the sky, and the mountains that look very high on the ground are now like gravel roads, with layers of ups and downs, which is exciting. During the flight, the pilot spins the balloon so that every passenger in the basket can see the surrounding scenery. When landing, the pilot will specifically explain the precautions when landing. Approaching the ground, a few ropes will be dropped, and the staff on the ground will hold these ropes tightly to control the orientation and height of the hot air balloon. At the moment of contact with the ground, these guys jumped up and pressed firmly on the edge of the gondola, preventing the hot air balloon from flying. After that, a trailer will come over, the pilot will fire again, the balloon will take off a little, and it will fly to the trailer and stop again. That's the landing. After landing everyone is responsible for collapsing the balloon together. Afterwards there will be a small ceremony where the balloon company will pop champagne and eat some fruit to celebrate. Each person will also be issued a certificate with your name, pilot's name and flight date printed on it, which is very meaningful. You can also take this time to take a photo with the pilot.
