Iran , you will know that it will subvert all your imagination of this country, and it is a country worth reaching. The scenery is not very good, and the humanities here are like time has been reversed for decades.
Iranians Passionate, poor, simple, simple... Many of their mobile phones are still the kind that can only be called; their cars are like classic cars, and they have to be locked manually;
They hold a cake and jam, which is the breakfast of the day; they hand-made carpets, and the metal carvings are vividly carved, they have all kinds of sweet desserts, ban smoking and alcohol, hold a candy in their mouths, and drink a sip of black tea...

This is a relatively closed and feudal country, remembering the lonely planet: Nightclub: I think beautiful! There is no such place in Iran. Even the movies here are restricted, and there are no kiss scenes. American blockbusters will never be released here.
There are many people here living below the poverty line, but some money is donated to Qingzhen Temple.
You will see the houses with dirt walls, but the super magnificent and magnificent Qingzhen Temple, which is luxurious, those fragments of glass or ceramics, and complex collages.
makes you think: Wow, how much manual it takes to spell it out!
Because of that trip to Iran, that land has left me with deep memories. I care about all kinds of news about Iran these days.
If you have been to Tehran , you will definitely remember the cars and motorcycles running around the road. This is a city filled with the sound of motorcycles.
Taxi drivers have developed good skills. They don’t have brakes when they see pedestrians. The two cars meet and the distance is only ten centimeters apart. Just when you thought you were going to get it, it just passed.
In Iran, you will see many handmade shops. The craftsman is quietly knocking and pounding, and the complex patterns are really beautiful. I stood there, watching the gray-haired old man, the quiet time flowing.
In Iran, all bank cards (debit cards, credit cards) cannot be used for use because Iran is an economically sanctioned country. So "swipe my card" is useless here, just bring more cash.
But the problem is that the number of Iranian Riyal is too large, and there are too many 000,000, and one million are always stupid and can't tell the difference. Even Iranian Rials cost 5,000 to use the toilet. Are you dizzy?
, and it is a very enthusiastic but also a scattered country, and everything needs to be bargained. You have to bargain when eating in restaurants, taking a taxi, and staying in hotels. By the last few days, I found that my bargaining level had reached its peak. The hotel priced at $55, but I finally got $30.
Right, travel to Iran in autumn and winter, all inns have heating, even the cheapest backpacking inns, because Iran has sufficient energy!
Do you know what it feels like to take a bus from Shiraz to Kashan for ten hours at night? Open your eyes, as if you were in a dream, there was half a moon outside the car...
Before going to Iran, if you are a girl, you should prepare a few hair-wrapped turbans, any color is fine. This is Iran's law and cannot be violated. There are also all coats to cover your buttocks, and later I found that cardigans and windbreakers are the best. In Iran, you cannot show your figure. The clothes should be wide and as dark as possible to be integrated.
It is worth mentioning that Iran’s domestic dust-armors should not be seated, because they are all eliminated. My friend said, “I don’t know when it fell down” and made me laugh. Because I travel freely, I take public transportation.
The Iranian people are very enthusiastic. Every time I wander around in Bazaar, there are always people watching me holding a camera to signal if I can take a photo for them. I took them and showed them the photos, because they could only smile and give them a thumbs up because they could not speak.
Shiraz, pink mosque . Colored windows projected onto colorful carpets. Women are always reluctant to leave here and refuse to leave.
Isfahan Masjed-e Jameh Juliqingzhen Temple, in the afternoon, the sun shines through the honeycomb-shaped windows and spreads on me.
Still remember the sentences written in "Lonely Planet": If the surprise on the road is the greatest meaning of travel, then Iran may be the country you should visit the most in this world. If you yearn for a trip to a country that is neither the East nor the West, both exotic and comfortable and comfortable, you might as well go to Iran.
Iranians always say that even the poorest country has two books, one is the Gulan scripture and the other is Hafiz's collection of poems. Hafiz is a poet in Shiraz, Iran. You will be surprised that a poet actually has such a great influence?
My itinerary is: From Shanghai-Urumqi-Tehran-Isfahan-Shiraz-Persperos-Kashan-Tehran-Urumqi-Shanghai, after the little things along the way, many memories surged in my heart.
Iran, this strange and mysterious country, many people heard that I came from China and envied China's development. The girls there all yearn for wearing beautiful clothes and showing their beauty, but society does not allow it.
The children there are like a doll with very beautiful eyes. Most of the elderly there couldn't understand English and could only communicate with them in body language.
That trip in Iran, all the transportation was bus tickets bought by local bus stations, from one city to another, one stop. It is very convenient to take a long-distance bus in Iran, with many flights and very cheap.
Along the way, I remember the crowdedness of Tehran Grand Bazaar ; the burning clouds seen on the long-distance bus to Isfahan; various mosque complex decorations; the human fireworks of Shiraz vegetable market; the loneliness of standing on the Thirty-Three Hole Bridge to watch the sunset...
There are also the afternoon of Kashan who is lazy to watch the sunshine move; the chatter of the boys at the school gate; the big stone pillars in Persepolis stand for thousands of years; the lost alleys watch the flying of pigeons...
They are so friendly and enthusiastic. Walking on the street or the Grand Bazaar, there are sounds of asking good questions everywhere. They called the Chinese people Qin , so for so many days, the most I said was: Yes, Qin!
In Iran, you almost don’t have to go up and ask, can you take a photo of you? Many people see you holding a camera, especially an Asian woman like me, who will take the initiative to come up and ask in body language if you can take a photo.
Several men squeezed in a bunch of them and smiled at me. My English is very bad, and theirs is also bad, so I talked very happily.
In any bazaar in Iran, there are no female salesmen, in the restaurant, there are no female waiters.
The biggest feeling during that trip to Iran was that I was so happy as a Chinese woman! In Iran, only women can show their face and hands. In Iran, women's status is really too low. When I walk alone among them, I come to their country with freedom and walk like this, I will attract a lot of envious eyes.
Last year, after Iran was exempted from visa, the customs passed, and no seal would be knocked on your passport, and no trace would be left. Iran, this was once a super strange country to me and to many people.
Iran, it is a travel destination with beautiful qingzhen temple, but the food is super unpalatable. Let me tell you what Iran is like?
