"Blue City" - Chefchaouen After breakfast, the sun began to shine. I avoided the route of last night's night tour and walked to several famous Internet celebrity check-in spots. From the halfway point of the mountain, I looked down at the old city, but I didn't think it was that blue. Entering the streets, it was like entering a sea of various blues. Some people have found that there are dozens of blues in Chefchaouen, deep blue like the sky and the sea, and light blue like icebergs and snowfields, each with its own mystery. When taking photos in the streets of the old city, if you only take pictures of the scenery, you always feel that the picture is missing something; but once someone enters the picture, it suddenly comes alive. All scenes exist as the background for shooting. The cloudy weather makes the light intensity change from time to time; the maze-like streets often cause sudden changes in light and shadow. In terms of light, this is the best photography opportunity, but it also makes the SLR I brought lose its due convenience. Except for places with particularly good light or occasions that require telephoto, it is easier to grasp the mobile phone photography and the effect is better. Of course, I am referring to Huawei mobile phones

Night Tour of Chefchaouen We arrived in the evening, and will go to Tangier after lunch tomorrow, also arriving in the evening. This trip feels like we were in the car all day, and we will reach our destination as soon as the sun sets. Since the itinerary is arranged like this, let's tour the old city of Chefchaouen in the dark at night to experience the blue city under the lights in advance, and save ourselves from the crowds tomorrow. This place is not all painted blue. The outer skin of the old buildings with good texture materials still retains its original appearance, and the ugly ones that have been rebuilt are painted with various blues and whites, which complement each other. The characteristics of Chefchaouen: various blues + cute cats. The cats here are really not afraid of people, and they are very active in sticking to people. Sit down and take a photo, and the cats will stick to you, showing all kinds of cuteness. It is really a thoughtful "little prop" for photographers
The Chefchaouen Castle Museum, the guardian of history, silently records the changes of the times, like a weathered old man. It not only bears witness to the traces of time, but also becomes a haven for art. Here, works of art can survive the long years in peace and be passed down from generation to generation, as if telling their own stories.
[Location] The yellowish building is in the central square of Medina. There is a "fountain" at the door, but judging from the name of the address, it is suspected that it was a hammam bath in the nobles' home. [Ticket] 60 dirhams!!! After reading the introduction, I think it is similar to the museum in Tinghir. [Opening hours] 9:00-18:00, but there may be too few tourists, or the Moroccans are so casual. When I arrived at 9 o'clock, the door was closed. After a few minutes, a local woman came to work with a bag. [Environment] There were no lanterns when I came at the end of January. I came on February 7th and found that Morocco is really friendly to China now. Look at how prosperous the exterior wall is. [Theme] This is the castle built by the founder of Chefchaouen. One of its main functions was of course to resist foreign enemies. This is the north of Morocco. Many enemies came from Europe at that time. This place is naturally more vulnerable than Fez, Marrakech, etc. The main exhibits are a small number of cultural relics from that year.
The Chefchaouen Castle is located on the south side of the town's central square. It is now a castle museum. The interior of the castle is mainly architectural. In front of the castle ruins there is a small playground-like facility with several slides and other facilities. The road facing it is the only way to the old town of Chefchaouen. It is a large sloping road with parking on the roadside. At one end of the castle is the market of the old town.
Shefchaman, a blue town, is a dreamy color. Walking through the alleys, you can find beautiful scenery around the corner.
