Registan Square

梦游人daydreamer
|Samarkand|Registan Square Blue Hour After seeing the Samarkand complex, everything else is tasteless and blues moment. Registan Square is simply invincible! ! Registran Square Registan Square Registan St , Samarkand , Samarqand Region , Uzbekistan The main building is the most beautiful in the middle of the three Economic Colleges. It really seems to have entered the world of 1,000 and one nights. 1: If you don’t buy tickets, you can only take panoramic photos at the p2 sightseeing platform. There is no way to enter the ticket. You have to detour to the ticket window on the left side of the square to buy in July. Only cash is accepted. Can you swipe the card now? The fare is about 50,000sum30 RMB. You must go in and see the beauty in it! ! D: The three buildings are very good, but the pillars on the left are indeed crooked. It is also crooked when it is shot, but it does not affect the casual shot. It is a blockbuster! ! From the beginning of the bus, there were people coming over and wanting to chat and take photos. Even there was a queue behind us. From young people to middle-aged people, most of them were friendly. The locals were really too enthusiastic. There were three young girls who looked like teenagers. They kept chatting with us and said they liked it. The country I wanted to go to was the most. It’s a whole pride: there are official sales of Samarkand’s unique patterned handmade wooden refrigerator stickers and ornaments in the building. The price is about 25 to hundreds of thousands of yuan. (Forgot to take pictures, there will be a lot of worth buying in the vlog. There are also several small shops in the collection. Readings/: After the building lights in the dark square are on, the blues moment is officially entered! Beautiful! Beautiful to sit underground and don't want to go to sigh (but this time the shooter is black hahaha): Around 20:00 is the most lively commercial street outside the square. You must go for a walk. There are various snacks and small ones. The double-decker sightseeing car is full of fireworks p15. The box is especially delicious and it is free to send us a behind. I have been thinking about it until I have been outside the airport. It is twice as expensive.

Bibi-Khanym Mosque

Bibi-Khanym Qing Z Temple is an important historical monument in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, don't miss it. Tickets 40,000 sum, opposite the tomb of Bibi Hanum (Figure 11) Historical background: - This mosque was built by Timur order from 1399 to 1405. After returning from the Indian victory, Timur decided to build a grand Qing Z temple in his capital Samarkand to show the majesty and glory of the empire. Its name "Bibihanum" is the name of Timur's wife, which is said to commemorate his Chinese wife. But here "China" is not the Dynasties, but the east of the Timur Empire, in fact, the Mongolian region, Timur's wife is a Turkic Mongolian, is the princess of the Eastern Chahetai Khan State. Size and structure of Xin Building:- Massive: Bibihanum Mosque is one of the largest mosques in Central Asia, with a 38-meter porch and a 41-meter main dome, and was also a huge building in the Islamic world at the time, capable of accommodating about 10,000 worshippers.

Observatory of Ulugbek

The Ulegh Beg Observatory visit was one of my most anticipated planned visits on my trip and it did not dissapoint. Beutiful tranquil place with nice little museam and park benches around it to sit and reflect on how much the mans early discoveries has meant to mankind.

It's so beautiful! I don't feel like visiting the cemetery at all! Like a beautiful park! Tickets are not expensive. The dozens of steps that just entered were a bit awkward, because it was hot, it was a bit tired to climb up, and it was super comfortable to go up to the arch. Cool, I don't want to leave at all.

Uzbekistan, a small Central Asian country, does not feel high in the eyes of many people, and there are few tourists here. But it has a long history, a leisurely life, and it is lingering.

Hazrat Khizr Mosque

Invisible Wind
Hazrat Khizr Mosque is the best place to take photos of Bibi Khanym Mosque from a distance. It is the southernmost part of the ancient city of Afrasiab. The mosque, which was originally built in the 8th century, was razed to the ground by Genghis Khan and was not rebuilt until 1854. The ceiling of the sunk panel on the side porch of the mosque is decorated with bright and colorful murals. From this exquisite side porch, you can see Bibi Khanym Mosque and Bibi Khanym Mausoleum from a distance. From the hill where Hazrat Khizr Mosque is located, you can also overlook the scenery of the surrounding old city of Samarkand, but only a few scattered high-rise buildings can be seen.
