There are actually two " Pink Mosque " that people call, one is in the Pentagon City of Malaysia, with its real name Masjid Putra; and the other is the protagonist we are going to introduce today - the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, the largest city in southern Iran. However, Mok Mosque is generally only commonly known as a pink mosque by Chinese tourists. Don't expect the meaning of the text to be translated into Pink Mosque, so that the locals will not understand it.

Mok Mosque is located in an inconspicuous alley in Shiraz . It was not very famous, but later after being promoted by domestic tourism strategies, it is now overcrowded. This religious place built in the late 19th century can be said to be a classic case of Persian architecture. Its carved stone pillars, colorful mosaic porcelain tiles and glass are all very distinctive and unforgettable.

Unlike the magnificent magnificent of many halls, the Mok Mosque will show its most beautiful side only in the sunny morning. The warm morning light just shines on the huge stained glass windows, so a wonderful and magical combination of color light and shadow is projected on the Persian carpet. It is like a Persian beauty wearing a veil. The moment she lifts her headscarf, it is fascinating.

When you arrive at Mok Mosque, the first thing you see is the ancient wooden door, which is inlaid with exquisite copper patterns. Standing under the arch at the entrance of the mosque, looking up, you can see a round honeycomb structure with exquisite glazed tiles on the surface, and the craftsmanship is very exquisite.

Entering the mosque, it is a rectangular courtyard with a pool in the center. In front of the pool is also a honeycomb-shaped vault, and above are two low-high minarets, reflected on the water surface in the pool. There are houses symmetrical on both sides of the pool, the prayer hall on the right and the exhibition hall on the left. The sunlight mentioned above shines through the colorful windows into the beautiful scenery inside the prayer hall.

The outside of the prayer hall looks a bit ordinary, and the exterior walls are still exquisite patterns made of blue glaze tiles. Large windows are covered by white cloth curtains, which even look a little ugly. But after entering the room, the scene in front of you will immediately bring a visual impact. More than a dozen oblique snake-patterned columns support the entire hall in the middle, and each column has complex patterns carved on it. The sunlight is projected in through colored glass and sprinkled on the exquisite Persian carpet of

achieves the perfect combination of colors and lines, and the flowing light is absolutely shocking. And

tourists are all prepared and all take photos in various positions.

Once again, I passed the pool in the courtyard and entered the exhibition hall opposite. It was just made of simple bricks, and the spacious and bright space displayed some of the characters and stories of the time. Compared to the wonders in the prayer hall, this hall with arched pillars reveals the heavy historical sense of this century-old mosque in the simple style of stained glass windows and curved tiles.

There is a well in an inconspicuous small room in the exhibition hall, which used to be the water storage area where cattle transported water sources. Now the wellhead of this deep well is closed by an iron gate, and only the light projected in the well makes people notice its existence. Going further down there is a very deep underground corridor, which makes people sigh that this Mok Mosque is really a bit quiet and deep.

Summary, Mok Mosque is a very worth check-in attraction, and the tickets are not expensive, about 150,000 riyals (about RMB 25).If you want to take pictures of the kaleidoscope-like light and shadow in the prayer hall of the mosque, it is recommended to go there on a sunny winter day, preferably from 7:00 to 8:00 in the morning. The official opening hours are actually not accurate. As long as there are gatekeepers at the door, tourists can enter. There are fewer tourists in the early morning and the temple is quieter. After 8:00, there will be a tour group, and there will be a lot of tourists.

In addition, the reason why I chose the early morning of winter is mainly because the sun angle is high in summer, and the sunlight will not sprinkle into the house in large areas. Photography enthusiasts can try using ultra-wide angle or fish-eye lens , and the effect will be great.
