Fes Médina
夏日清风cyn
Fez Medina, the most famous and oldest ancient city in Morocco, the first Islamic city in the history of North Africa, is a treasure of Islamic civilization and Moroccan culture. Its old city has a history of nearly 1,200 years. It is one of the largest existing typical medieval-style cities in the world. It has been the center of religion, culture and art in Morocco for more than a thousand years. It is also one of the four imperial cities of Morocco and has been listed as Entered into world cultural heritage.
The old market of Fez is so large that it is known as the largest in the world. The winding lanes of the city are the easiest to get lost in. There are more than a thousand handicraft shops, inheriting ancient and famous traditional craft techniques. Each one is set up in a very narrow maze-like lane, as if life has not changed for hundreds of years. The daily life of local residents has been integrated with religion, becoming a real-life social and humanistic museum.

Colorful dyeing cylinders and disliked smells, the dazzling array of leather products are the reason for tourists to visit. The tour guide leads to the classic dyeing workshop and sees the traditional leather factory. Although it looks a bit simple, the scene is suitable for taking pictures, especially some products are very delicate.

Meknes is one of the "Four Imperial Cities" of Morocco. It is called the "Black City". The ancient city of Meknes is also a world heritage site recognized by UNESCO. The great Sultan Moulay Ismail made this the capital during his reign, and the Mansur Gate was the last major construction project during the reign of the Sultan to commemorate his great achievements.
Moulay Ismail Sultan is the ancestor of the current Moroccan royal family and can be called "the greatest emperor in the history of Morocco". His gate is not only magnificent, but also very beautiful, containing many well-known decorative arts at that time. Therefore, this is definitely one of the must-see attractions in Morocco.
In front of the gate is an open square. There are many shops selling local handicrafts around the square, and tourists and local vendors are on the square.

Meknes does not have an airport. It only takes half an hour by train from Fez. The old city of Meknes is full of ancient charm. The city walls, the city gates, the small shops one after another, the unique items are irresistible. The little donkey ticks and runs past us, as if we have returned to the Middle Ages.

The Nordic style is displayed in Eveland. I saw the snowwood tree, picture 8 stone lions are the city symbol, and there is a new tourism project: a small train for viewing! It is known as the beauty of Little Switzerland! It's a pity that there were no people coming and going during the epidemic.
