[2024 New Delhi Attraction] Travel Guide for Jantar Mantar, Delhi (Updated Nov)

Must-visit attractions for first-time visitors to New Delhi, India.

Day 1 🛬Arrive in New Delhi via Hong Kong Jaipur Day 2-3 1⃣Amber Fort⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Riding up the mountain🏍+ taking a jeep🚗 down the mountain is a super cool experience!! The city wall is similar to the Great Wall, and the interior decoration is extremely luxurious🏫 and beautiful. Many people take wedding photos📸 here. In my opinion, it is the number one attraction along with the Taj Mahal. It's super photogenic😍. I recommend wearing a colorful skirt for photos📸. 2⃣Jal Mahal⭐️⭐️ A magical building with two floors above water and three floors underwater. The construction method is super wonderful, but you can only view it from a distance and cannot enter. The experience is average. 3⃣Jantar Mantar⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have to admire the wisdom of ancient Indians. Here you can see a timer that is accurate to the minute and second, and it can still accurately measure modern time⏱. 4⃣City Palace⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The palace is located in the Pink City of Jaipur. The museum inside displays the items used by the nobles of the Mughal dynasty. It's super photogenic. I recommend wearing a solid color (white) skirt for photos. 5⃣Hawa Mahal⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A five-story pink palace located on the main street of Jaipur. It was mainly used by the queen and concubines to watch the market outside. It's super photogenic when taking photos across the street, but it's sad that it really shows the low status of women at that time and their boring life. 6⃣Tripolia Bazaar⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The market outside that the queen and concubines watched is the Tripolia Bazaar🛍, which is ten kilometers in radius. It's the busiest and most lively place in Jaipur. It's also a place where everyone can boldly practice bargaining💰. The way Indians do business is really unique. 7⃣Birla Mandir⭐️⭐️⭐️ The pure white building is very eye-catching in the Pink City. Many people worship the patron saint here. The exterior is in the style of Hindu architecture, and the interior is Christian stained glass. It's very special. 8⃣Chand Baori⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An underground palace with eleven floors built in the 9th century. Thousands of steps surround the natural well in the middle. Although you can't go down now, it's still shocking to take photos with a wide-angle lens. 9⃣Goddess Temple⭐️⭐️ The "Happy God" temple next to the underground palace. The locals will bless you and put a red dot on your forehead. 🔟Keoladeo National Park⭐️⭐️⭐️ It used to be a hunting ground for Indian nobles, and now it has become one of the main habitats for a large number of waterfowl and birds in the north to overwinter. Here you can see the endangered Siberian crane, Indian stork, etc. 1⃣1⃣Fatehpur Sikri⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A building from the period of Akbar the Great of the Mughal Empire in India. The red sandstone building is super spectacular. Although it was once the capital for a short time, its beauty is no less than that of Agra Fort. Walking around the castle and taking photos at random are the best photos.

Jantar Mantar in New Delhi is a surprisingly amazing place that holds a historical significance. The Observatory was also built by the talented Maharaja Jai Singh II. He is said to be an avid astronomy enthusiast and built observatories in Jaipur, Delhi and Varanasi. With five observatories, the Jantar Mantar Observatory is the largest and most preserved. The materials used in the building are ancient sedimentary rock, but one can't see how old they are because they look very modern. The world's largest sundial, two time measuring instruments with a large circle, 12 constellation triangle building for the layman seems so amazing, must be the best place for astronomy enthusiasts!

In 1782, the prince Sawayi Jay Singh II ordered the construction of his territory's celestial observatory and became the largest preserved ancient observatory in India. The various astronomical instruments here are exactly the same as the ancient Chinese astronomical observatories. They are also the splendid ancient civilizations, as well as the long history of human civilization. This earth is the long-term human being because of the dazzling light of the four ancient civilizations. In the dark period, the fear is overcome. Standing in this dazzling astronomical observatory, people can't help but sigh: Hello, ancient civilization of mankind.
