Vacation Inspiration: 4 weeks backpacking in the Middle East

Author:

Andrew Marsden

A backpacking adventure in the Middle East can be eye-opening, exciting, and at times challenging. As you explore sites of immense religious, cultural and historical significance, you will further your education and gain insights into other less familiar cultures and ways of life. Backpacking through the Middle East is never short of an adventure and you\'re likely to experience some incredible hospitality, sample some delectable cuisine and meet some fascinating people along the way.

Fly into Istanbul in Turkey, a city at the crossroads of East and West. The perfect introduction to the Middle East, Istanbul is both westernised and familiar, while at the same time it\'s exotic and enchanting.  After a good few days haggling in the grand bazaar and marvelling at the architecture, head by comfortable overnight bus to Cappadocia.

Cappadocia: The natural beauty of Central Turkey is breathtaking. Goreme is a good base for a few days sampling delicious Turkish cuisine, walking through the spectacular landscape of 'fairy chimney' rock formations and exploring churches cut in rock by the early Christians.

From Cappadocia, head to Antakya for your final night in Turkey before heading over the border by bus to Aleppo in Syria.

Aleppo: Syria probably contains almost everything that comes to mind when you think of the Middle East: Legendary Arabic hospitality, mouth-watering mezze, conservative Islam and rich history and culture. The people here are some of the friendliest in the world, and to really get a feel for the place, spend some time in the cafes and markets (souks). Around every corner, there seems to be a point of historical interest, but just observing the culture and chatting to the locals can be an experience in itself.

Damascus: A must on any Middle Eastern traveller\'s itinerary. A few days can be spent in the coffee shops and souks of Damascus, sipping intense Arabic coffee to the sound of the Muslim call to prayer. The Umayyad Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in the world and the architectural beauty is awe-inspiring.

Palmyra: If you\'re into ruins, you won\'t want to skip Palmyra. These ruins of one of the ancient world\'s most important centres of culture are located at an Oasis in the Syrian Desert, and you can get there by bus or taxi from Damascus.

From Damascus, head south and cross into Jordan. Sharing a taxi is relatively easy in Damascus and is a great opportunity to make friends with the locals. Catch a ride in Damascus heading for Amman in Jordan.

Amman: After a day or two exploring this fascinating, hospitable city of contrasts between old and new, continue south by bus to the UNESCO world heritage site of Petra.

Petra: Jordan\'s greatest tourist attraction is the vast rock-carved Nabataean city of Petra. Marvel at the awe-inspiring carvings, dazzling red colours and beautiful rock formations as you explore the Petra valley on foot, or on horseback or by camel.

Aqaba: From Wadi Musa (the town to use as base for visiting Petra), head by bus to the Jordanian Red Sea resort of Aqaba. From here, you\'ll have access to some of the best snorkelling and diving in the world and the timeless crimson beauty of the Wadi Rum natural landscape. Wadi Rum is virtually untouched by humanity and can be explored by 4x4 vehicle or camel. You can arrange to stay with the local Bedoiun people, spending a night in a tent after a traditional campfire meal.

Into Israel: Allow plenty of time for the border crossing into Israel. It can be helpful to have a clear idea of where you\'re heading in Israel and what you hope to do there. Be patient and polite and once the border formalities are done, you\'ll want to jump in a taxi and head to the Israeli resort of Eilat.

Eilat: After a couple of weeks in the Arabic countries of Jordan and Syria, Eilat will be a major culture shock. You can see the Jordanian flag and the town of Aqaba from the beach in downtown Eilat but it feels like a different world. Eilat is an Israeli beach resort, with westernised restaurants, bars and nightlife. If sun, sea, sand and partying is your thing, you\'ll want to linger for a few days in Eilat.

Jerusalem: The centre of three major world religions, Jerusalem is like nowhere else on Earth. The old city contains sites of huge historic and cultural significance to Jews, Christians and Muslims. A visit to Jerusalem provides an opportunity to explore sites of historic and religious interest, while also gaining an understanding of the background and the issues surrounding the present-day conflict.

Dead Sea: Easily accessible from Jerusalem, Ein Gedi is an Oasis on the shores of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth. Due to the salt content, the human body will float on the Dead Sea, an experience not to be missed.

Galilee: Travelling around Israel is comfortable and straightforward and a trip north to Galilee provides opportunity to explore the area where Jesus lived and taught, including the Mount of Beatitudes (where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount) and the Sea of Galilee.

Tel Aviv: Known as ‘the city that doesn\'t stop\' because of its reputation for partying, Tel Aviv is the heart of secular Israel and the economic and commercial centre. The highlight is the sandy Mediterranean coastline and the fantastic beach scene where you can relax for a day or two before boarding your flight home.

Assuming you travel independently as a backpacker, this 4 week itinerary through the Middle East is likely to cost in the region of $1500-$2000 if you travel and share rooms with a partner and in the region of $2400-$2700 if you travel on your own.

European train buffet line: preparations

European line last year.

Now go directly from domestic trains tourism European buffet is not widespread. So I think a lot of experience, a lot of experience to share. Write this travelogue is on this journey of remembrance.

This travel was a friend of mine invited to attend an event in the small town in Northern Germany Berlin Neubrandenburg, 9, 10 and 11 July.

This matter to determine only the beginning of August. I August 11, to apply for Schengen visas, in the Consulate 8 to 18. And then just booked my ticket. Because it's too late and plus season, most tickets are already sold out. Many setbacks, finally get it is from Bangkok and Helsinki two turn to Berlin's Thai and fenhang ticket (return trip is Nordic aviation Copenhagen a turn for the better). My travel plans after the events of the week the main countries with train travel. On the Internet to do a lot of homework, finally found Euler rail ticket office in Shanghai, people's Square West Jinling road. European train tickets are generally multinational tourism for buy ticket is a ticket for the kind of casual riding. Ticket can only be purchased outside of Europe, the species is also very complex. I finally bought that three countries (Germany and Italy) five days (without continuous) twin ticket (I went with my wife). In order for the ticket, really hurt a lot. First of all, it is necessary to comply with my trip, that is to go to the most worthy of a place, not to me early on unalterable Paris, French Riviera, and Venice. Secondly, convergence, I checked the European rail network for airfares, last from a few sets of programmes selected a set (the other as backup). Last thing, the price, must meet my requirements and is the lowest. Also, pass only includes the normal ticket price. If you are a high-speed trains and overnight train, positioning fees to pay. Locate either in the Shanghai Office, you can also set the main railway station in Europe. In the process of considering travel itinerary may change, I just booked before departure from Nice to Rome by overnight train. My trips are:

Shanghai-Bangkok-Helsinki-Berlin-Brandenburg-Berlin-Khas Ruhr-Strasbourg-Paris-Nice-Rome-Venice-Monaco/Monte-Carlo-Cannes-Paris-Mannheim-Berlin-Copenhagen-Shanghai (including transit interchange stations, of which the second Berlin to third Berlin between all by train)

The train line has the advantage that you can see the scenery, cheap, save time, more romantic.

The entire trip four days sleeping on the train. Annex I of the ticket.

Determine the travel and transportation to accommodation issues after.

Do I worry about the Neubrandenburg, aircraft around on the one night, the train I plan a fourth night, leaving only the need to address the two nights in Paris and Berlin by night. I'd in "poor" on the Internet and find an Paris Chinese family hotel, very cheap (small villa of double room, per night € 36, 360 Yuan). Contact after he let me half the money for flowed down to his Shanghai Bank account number. There is no official credentials, then do not sign what I plan to arrive before 11 pm. See the online evaluation of others, and finally decided to trust him, put money in the past. Then prove that this decision was right. Berlin hotel is online with a credit card. Just a sixingjiudian promotions, 50 euro a night. At home it's not cheap. But in Europe, this is almost the same as sent.

Last turn to the equipment.

I bring a camera, a few years ago bought Sony, 320 Megapixel, by two batteries. A prior to temporary buy digital companion, capacity 40G. There are also mobile phones (most of the time the flight mode, when the alarm clock and back-up camera. Sometimes short post receiving and dispatching short note). These three guys themselves are not large, but with three heavy charger! now I wish someone could invent a universal charger. There is also a small things have to say, just be sure to bring the European power conversion socket. Prior to Interbrew bought one in Germany and France are very well, didn't think Italy is not the same results in Rome more! spent an hour to buy conversion socket. By the way, before a book online that European train has a power outlet. The fact is all the overnight train! results in Rome at the end of the battery completely used up, the next morning in the face of Venice beauty camera cannot be used, but also good God our eyes in the station platform a corner to give me an outlet, but still very embarrassing. It seems to get home before homework or not.

OK, back story and photos posted on let me slowly.

The Forum phone-easy to use, see stickers out there posting very convenient. Unfortunately there's user to students, my post Companion. So here a synchronization publication. But do not see the posting. Therefore, there is a problem with friends can go to the cell phone forum posting, I will try to answer. My post at:

(European railway ticket)

France from Belgium drove immigrants, takes approximately 3 hours in Paris. Compared with London Square, Paris is a beautiful and romantic. Street path is full of flowers, and elegant bars, cafe. With traditional antique houses phase partners, are still preserved in the gravel.

Autumn in Paris is glorious, El-Eiffel remains the derricks, accompanied by 100 years of standing still.

Seine river water is still so clear, the river cruise or walking to the taste of Paris's autumn.

Today can be seen in the novels of Notre Dame, tall tower stands on a small island in the Seine.

If you know little about the Catholic, then I am afraid that only cursory.

There is no doubt that the Versailles palace and the Louvre is the gem of France culture.

Louis XIV established Versailles everywhere highlight a virtual China and a stately and Louvre collection of Mona Lisa, the Venus statue and victory statue as the fragrance of 3, it attracts numerous eyeballs. In my impression, as if the London National Gallery of art painting is good at, and the Louvre on the statue has given me a deep impression. I am not an art connoisseur, but undoubtedly Louvre art is great.

Montmartre and the Sacre Coeur Church Highland I was nothing special, but in his next to an open-air art market is very attractive.

Place, surrounded by a few blocks of the low building surrounded not big courtyard, with yellow leaves of autumn and the open-air cafe chairs, some Street painter crowded in there to stop painting of tourists, 10 euro suffice. There are also paintings, paintings in dozens of hundreds of the price. Perhaps this will be the future of Van Gogh cardat!

Night in Paris is noisy.

The famous Moulin Rouge theatre with timeless drama, though no makeup, but did feel no obscenity, filled the audience, which also has many ladies, worth a visit! 2 nightly, fare of € 85-95.

Compared with the noise of Paris, the southern city of Nice is a good place for seaside holiday.

Although the values fall, but Eastern Mediterranean blue sea or let people Kiss. Nourished so much history and civilization, also gave birth to this too much better looking and sadness. United Kingdom people walking road stretches for more than 10 km, seems to embrace a plethora of waves, stroking her brow ...

To drive 30 minutes to arrive at the Casino of Monaco.

Pocket-sized country is famous for gambling and racing. Monte Carlo car Shuttle in narrow curved streets, it is the fear for drivers; and the Casino is Las Vegas than not a bright and stylish, the seaside scenery but let people forget to return. From the Grand Duke Palace looked down, and side wall of the mountain, is a quiet Bay-Park of private yachts, precipitous walls of the mountain stands the towering palaces and Cannon, a reminder here was the ancient battlefield. Monaco is worth a go.

A few days to go many places, in fact, is to get to sleep, off camera type of tourism.

Most of the Chinese European tour. Due to the different cultural, religious, historical background, most people in Europe the myth of architecture, art, are not widely understood, mind-blowing is possible, but it is certain yet.

European prices its expensive, hotel good point over at 100 euros, more than RMB 1000 kg.

The majority of France who do not speak English, even if you hear only answer your French, maybe the national pride. Even in the Louvre, all signs and callout text will be French, it is resistant to Ho!

In short, European tour before we must first look at European history, religion and culture, in addition to accompanying preparations, and enough money, then the beginning of the wine fills me with courage qiangang starting!

At the end of October 2004

The Terminal in Shanghai for three hours, the too soon, and left shaking right Akira, nowhere to go, so cool in the duty free shop, bought a few pieces of cosmetics, the 1000 block, later discovered was a wise decision, the same thing in Paris about 2 times the price.

Aircraft almost 13 hours.

Probably for 100 different postures, or sleep, or pain in the butt, but unfortunately there is no extra money to put directly on the plane. Typical Miss body yahuan life.

Finally get to the destination, the aircraft also late an hour for GSM seems no GSM, can't send text interest tell poor Dou peers arrived safely, it is strong in France police sister to the police station.

To me and other several together to produce relevant documents.

Ever heard of the aircraft has a review of the story, I didn't expect this pie hit me on the head.

Anyway, I don't want to be smuggled into the shadow, who is not afraid of oblique, bold, and the police are debated. Just in front of a number of different color of surface is pulled to the police station, there is some facial on hold. This time, be able to say anything, other people's sites.

Barbara was polite and tough to translate her command task left me weak shoulders, respectively produce medical insurance, hotel reservation, and cash.

Do not ask too much, not complex, but these things do not write on the immigration requirements, people can't do without how? then wants to help the vast number of innocent people to justice, what, but thinking muddle, do not know where their passport, wronged police sister took my credit card not also, there is no clear and logical and physical strength in time can I sent home before performance too heroic.

Okay, one would give me and a few other bits to set.

Do not know my baggage on the conveyor belt for a few laps to go, anyway, travel begins!

(Early morning Eiffel)

This trip to Europe, specifically through Switzerland Federal Ministry of agriculture, visited Switzerland on the outskirts of Bern, the capital of a farm.

According to the farm's owner himself, his main income by cattle and horse breeding by helping others.

Since the farm is not his own, but let someone else 's, so the limited income.

We asked a translation does not let us ask the question, asked his family income? he kindly answered, 90 more Switzerland francs (equivalent million RMB).

He also told me that his 90 more Switzerland franc revenue, Government of all kinds of agricultural subsidies in half, and all operating revenue only accounted for the other half.

Listen to the introduction of farmers, was very mixed feelings: one half of the farmers ' income, is the Government's various subsidies.

While we have only just cancellation, there is still no peasant significant direct subsidies. Even cancel one agricultural tax, also INNFA. Contrast, really ashamed!

Here in particular, the EU governments subsidies to farmers, not the things of the past few years.

On EU governments, farmers, subsidies, is perfectly justified!

Thus, inevitably laments: Ah ~ Chinese peasants! Chinese farmers suffer!

(The raising of dairy cattle farming households, very nice!)

(Farmers own the House, also there is taste!)

(Apple of racing, I do not know what will happen to the game up?)

(Walls with various Racing Association of label wants to prove that farmers own breed horse qualifications!)

(The gate of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture of Switzerland, while not imposing of China's Ministry of agriculture, but subsidies to farmers than our style!)

Recent Chinese tourists in France customs be checked out using fake a brand-name bags of time by the media trumpets, the Chinese Government-related sector, as well as France Embassy in China are the cultural Counsellor had warned the Chinese tourists, not to wear or carry fake brand-name goods out of the country's tourism, otherwise incur unnecessary trouble. Hear the matter, and media coverage on the front of the different, I feel uneasy, intellectual property protection I always attaches to others the fruits of intellectual work deserves the respect of society, it is beyond doubt, let alone in an increasingly enhanced intellectual property protection of contemporary China. But my worry is that too much is too much, too many too many obligations are combined in an ordinary consumers. Don't you see, eat consumed was additionally the whitening agent, said that consumers should strengthen the ability of self identification, cannot readily be bought; cover quilt is a black cotton, that is, consumers can not only COS cheap and good health; house cracks, said that consumers should be negotiated in advance and development, and good terms in accordance with this statement, the consumer is not possible to buy the House, at least in this life; travel by bike because no body weight and broken, said people ride is too heavy for self-driving quality problems that consumers should be carefully selected and regularly inspected. All of these errors are due to consumers ' error. As everyone knows, the consumer is a consumer, he purchases or obtain a service does not require their own must have purchased goods and services expertise, if anything should have expertise, I think even the births and deaths in this most basic natural circulation are impossible, don't CIFTA on establishment of market economy in the world, the Division of increasingly sophisticated, nobody can do everything all trades, that is, each person can understand. Talk back to the beginning, I am just a visitor, I'm just a consumer, I went to the market to buy a package from time to time, I made a package or fashion industry insiders, I of course do not know if I buy a package is the so-called fake brands, I just think this bag style I like, and the price I can afford, I bought this Pack, I have Sin HO, if I buy a fake name brand, then I wouldn't be the victims, the responsibility of the person you can't find, is not the responsibility of I became the scapegoat, this is not precisely the thing itself reflects the meaning of it, has emphasized the humane care of the modern civilization society, you the consumer care, our communication civilization of media, you use gill nets of spearhead on to me, why don't more deep into an ordinary consumers think of it.

Then go to the "tour of the United Nations European headquarters (appearance) and the International Red Cross headquarters (skins)", that is just a weekend, no Office, pedestrian streets are very small, only occasionally through teams of visitors from all countries. Listen to the guide said that Switzerland is a relatively affluent countries in Europe, although weekend streets, street occasionally had the feeling of a luxury automobile. We aim at a red light camera such as the luxury car, the driver was also put to us in a gesture of V, it appears that these Ho car owners have been used to be a concern.

Sat-cable car to the top of the Hill on which level the rotation of the tramway is itself, visitors stand on the inside, you can enjoy the surrounding scenery. The mountain is covered with non-snow, but the same day in the snow. Meet some of our visitors, they have prepared in some people, put down jacket. We put two long-sleeved vest a never feel cold. The peak there is a Ice Cave Tour, specialized in Glacier drilling a hole, it is very cold, but beneath the ice hole really is a unique experience. Take the tramway goes down, and we sat with a tramway in some other European countries, feel a bit brother looks just like our bus driver, just enthusiasm and his photo. That we return to photo email to him and ask him to business card and e-mail address, a look at is the Czech people. Just like our drivers are always in the attractions waiting outside, does not come to play. By the way, we see once again prove that Europeans look the same, it is estimated that Europeans see we also feel that looks similar. Then carefully to enjoy the hillside of green trees and grass and leisurely cattle, listen, hear crisp bull ring. Halfway also see cable car following the climb up the mountain on foot along there. Down to the foot of the hill overlooking the beautiful small town, Ingeborg (Engelberg), small town in the Hong Kong opened in restaurant for lunch. Afternoon departure from Switzerland to Italy. Night Milan suburbs Piramonti Residence hotel, brick red giant hotel. We carried luggage sitting on the floor of the elevator, Elevator halfway suddenly lights out, stop for a moment the elevator door opened and saw this layer of veneer floor tiles, loudaoli did not seem to have the ground layer, and then in the lift at our going to the floor, only the last lift has been slow to arrive. Out of the elevator after we all feel close, just seems to be the elevator when the lights go down to the underground, but also good emergency braking system boots up, so we saw the elevator floor key does not have a layer of ground. Finally came into the room, find the House even has a kitchen equipped with stove, etc., and also, there is a large terrace outside, along the hotel great looking building, see building another wing balcony also stacking up a bicycle and drying racks, sundries, feeling this building now also has apartments, just us into a hotel. Evening free to nothing, go downstairs and found a layer of a charge of Internet cafes, then look closely, here is the Lenovo brand of computer, although somewhat old, but still feel warm. August 16, in the "fashion capital" Milan sightseeing, mainly visit the Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano?) and its surrounding attractions. Milan Cathedral point is stained glass, is above all religious stories. Out of the Milan Cathedral, we are also in a nearby Victoria II Arcade (Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II) go for a long time, this is a ceiling of cross streets, the pattern is somewhat similar to Tianjin, Tianjin, Tianjin to style than of course, there a lot of brand-name shops, but also warm Bookstore Bookstore placing an animation at the gate is also the father of publicity Baba cards. Through the arcade also walked to the Scala Theatre (teatro alla Scala), did not go in, you can only imagine the theatre's Grand and luxurious interior. To be honest only watch out will find the theatre very simple. Door looks at recent presentations, see prepare with Chinese pianist Lang Lang to the performances of the Billboard. Perhaps the only browse the Milan monuments no in-depth Milan's modern life, only to feel a long history of the Milan, didn't feel the Milan's "fashion capital" side. Night between Milan and Venice, Padova town. August 17, visit Venice, Venice Island, on a boat to a dock, and other vessel took some photos, you see the 2010 new Venice was opened to the light People Mover. The island of Venice, first guest, in San Marco Cathedral outside to take pictures. As said we to island time or very early, but outside the Cathedral of San Marco has already lined a very large number of tourists waiting to go in and visit, this is the way not seen since the other church. Of course we are don't have time or don't need to get in line. Together to look at the glass workshop handmade glass products, then go to the characteristic gondola ride in Venice, sitting at boats and a gondola, but is also very worthwhile. On board before the hearing about the boatman will sing xiaoqu, sure enough, we have the boat boatman will occasionally Hum on two lines, while experiencing the opposite of a boat there are as many tourists with the accordion, hilarious, and sang two songs, Italy local boat crossroads, we ship the boatmen have also sing along. Gondola tour for about half an hour, after a free activities ashore, we also in Venice Island original road, walked back to the Assembly station. Lunch at the seafood meal, cuttlefish sauce, fried seafood with vegetable salad, we also bought 2 glasses of wine. In fact this optional lunch also in Venice island opened a Chinese restaurant, cuttlefish sauce taste can also surface is the mix really cuttlefish sauce, noodle is carbon black carbon, selling not very good, but tasted or very fragrant. Night in Venice and Florence, Prato, between the town of Hotel President, we catch up with 401 room is a room enlarge. 8/18/00 arrangements is at your own expense to go see the leaning tower of Pisa, we didn'tSelected this at your own expense, the regiment was just half of the visitors, and we put in to Florence halfway in a small village. We walked along the country roads for a walk, the sides are towering yellow to see Italy general rural houses, two and a half hour quickly in the past, we continue to connect with coaches come back to Florence. In Florence, mainly "tour monarch Plaza, Notre Dame Cathedral" of flowers, in leather and saw to the fur bronzing performance, bronzed like Venice manual processing glass so complicated, but it was to tourist guide describes only the dermis, hot stamping foil stamping is validation a means of leather, we also bought some souvenirs. Not far away is pezinho column square, the downtown Florence, Piazza many famous sculptures. Now the Town Hall still using jiugong this ancient building and a free and open to visitors, we also went in and looked at. Next to the Gallery jiugong in several live sculpture artist, dressed like the classical sculpture, performance is very exaggerated gestures, attract many tourists to take a photo with, of course, have to pay. Night live in the Roman suburb hotel, the thought of leaving tomorrow, but fortunately this day Europe fine, still standing in the courtyard of the hotel looked good for a half day star. August 19, last day of the visit Rome, Rome is the cradle of European civilization, there are monuments, there are the ruins of ancient Roman fair. We first Vatican browse Saint Peter's Cathedral, here is the Catholic Church, St. Peter's Cathedral is the largest church in Europe. From the Church, we are also next to the small post office to send two postcards. After a visit to the "bucket of veterinary field (location)" and "Constantine Arc de Triomphe", in fact, the bucket beast field can also be free to enter, but queuing a lot of tourists, we don't have much time, but from the outside look at this one building is able to feel it's Grand. Finally go to the wishing pool, legends usually can only make a vow to 3 wishes, but first you must be a "return to Rome," of course we do as the Romans do, throwing three coins make three wishes. Remember this time Europe with tuanyou, yet, easy to read parts of the main attractions, really think about the future have the opportunity to come back and take a closer look at, to a free line of tour. Afternoon we went to Rome airport, soil air passenger aircraft to return to Beijing. 20 August back to Beijing Capital Airport is 3 pm. European tourist visa to China after PIN check for both of us are lucky no pumping in Embassy PIN check, just go through the Passport to travel, so we just finished an unforgettable trip to Europe and back to their warm home. Final sharing the experience of other little tour and experience: a summer by plane, the plane is very cool, with clothing and much more. Metro Airport Express and airport are also appropriate in temperature, but the airport bus is very cold, have more clothes. France and Switzerland have not hot in August, the temperature difference is very big, sooner or later go to bring clothes. Italy is relatively hot and Beijing weather almost.

Paris, art, I have finally!, for saying people proud for some help in English, just arrived at the Charles de Gaulle airport, I deeply appreciate that. Detract from the fact that a capital airport, English signage was little, almost all of them is the only French language, perceptive somewhat less point man, I really don't know what to do. However not logical reasoning too much, because although many signs, but did not indicate the direction of the arrow, such as every 10 meters there is a brand name lists all of the terminal Services such as taxis, information center, train station and the like, but no arrows tell you to go to the left or to right away, simply illogical. Later in France for a few months friends met knew that this is the style of France who do things: If there's one thing you can do or not do, then France people definitely choose not to do, even if they do, most of them don't rely on the spectrum. So friends, France, especially in Paris, is a haven for the arts, science and health of hell. In the Paris subway system in the labyrinth-like twist, finally found the living hotel, managed traffic is fairly easy. Put down your luggage is rushing out the door, because before nightfall to several large spots will go in a circle. (Now Paris 5 p.m. half dark) first on the MTR to the Arc de Triomphe. If we say that Europe is "bar road to Rome", Paris is a "bar road passes the Arc de Triomphe". Around the Paris landmark buildings, 12 large and small roads radiate to the streets of Paris. It is said that night of the Arc de Triomphe ablaze, most are spectacular, but unfortunately we have no time to wait until that time, he took a few "to such a tour" photos, you walked along France's Chinese mouth "fragrant Street", that is the way forward on the Champs Elysees Avenue. Speaking of "sweet Street" this name is always made me feel very xiangyan, but this world-famous street, but it is the famous everywhere, but there is nothing special, except for unscrupulous, rampage of pigeons. Go to the Concorde, friend give me explanation, this square how France highlighted in the construction of the atmosphere. Great Plaza, plus statue, fountain, Obelisk, basically is designed to show the strong and built in France. The obelisk, I am not ashamed of France were: Egypt's Antiquities for themselves, but also in the capital Centre of the square, impudence than wall corner also three-inch thick. Go on, Alexander III bridge, the opposite is the magnificent Galeries. From the bridge to look at it in its entirety have felt grandeur, and went to look at the main building, jinqian felt it necessary to have such a scale that deserve a formidable Napoleon. Unfortunately we arrived too late, the main building is closed, no way to see inside the docking of Napoleon and several love of coffins and other relics of Napoleon. The first day of last stop is the symbol of France--the Eiffel Tower. Reach the Tower has a twilight, bought a ticket to climb a layer, tired I grind my teeth and made up his mind back to physical exercise. Then go on to take the lift, the higher the more sat finally reached the top, around the tower for a week, a cow and on the ground that the size of buildings in soya beans for just a few of the visited, as well as future plans to go to a few. Finally an exception from a tower on the post a postcard, in souvenir shops to buy a few things. Evening friends took me to find a good advance a Hunan restaurant eat home cooking. Taste fairly authentic, price is not expensive, it is not surprising that no reservations don't want to get a seat. Finally follow the proprietress by Changsha words with a few words, I was in Singapore or do not feel the hometown flavor, I caught up in Paris. The next day got up early and headed straight for the Highland of Montmartre. This used to be the Centre of Paris, the revolution is now free artist's paradise. The peak of the Sacred Heart Church, potters, magnificent, maps, the headland of divine beauty. That morning have a classic car enthusiast's open their car to the Sacred Heart church door won't think, by the way also opened the horizons. The Louvre is the recent Paris tourist hot spots hot spot, in large part to worship the da Vinci Code ". Friends warned me in advance, the Louvre really go up two or three days after shopping not too, but I am only a short span of three hours, but is headed straight for the key. Largest fragrance ("Mona Lisa", "Miroslav of Venus, the goddess of victory) look down and stops along the look of some, two and a half hours had passed, and only reluctantly gave up on the third floor of oil painting exhibition, there are a few things it would be interesting to see such as the Virgin of the rocks", also had to wait until the next time. Louvre glass pyramid of the square is also, of course, will be taken, although the da Vinci Code "there some say it is" Paris a scar on his face. " Indeed, it seems to me that look to go or do not understand that the design of its moral Ieoh Ming Pei, but it'd be "Louvre entrance" of an image. But we also found a trick: If you are from the ground of the great pyramid entrance to the Louvre, the queue through the security check must take half an hour or so, because almost all of the tours are from the entry into, but if you take the subway to the Louvre, from the ground floor, as long as the line a few minutes of team buy tickets on the line, security almost no one in line. From the Louvre, the subway rush last stop--Notre Dame. Out of the subway station, the way to the Holy Chapel next to the go turned, typical of Gothic architecture, nothing special, get tickets almost caught up with the Louvre, and decided to skip, go straight to the topic. Notre Dame at the main entrance of the Church are rare in Europe is the gate of the entrance, with tall twin towers in Hugo's writings into a clock tower Geek of the stage. The main entrance to the large number of relief, including some fine. Just after Christmas, as the door there is a big Christmas tree Festival. Church inside the Gothic style but the standards, the main hall to the altar, is deep, on either side of the ear of the Church in every color glass are colorful, I so far have been to all of the church there is also a head. A a look at the past, not consciously hold your breath, I do not know is an art or a religion. Finally go to the latter part of Notre Dame, is Gothic, but France's Gothic, Spire and the flying buttress is to join a large number of decorative elements,And pure German style very different. Time flies, a two-day trip to Paris hastily drawn periods, sitting in the plane leaving Paris, I had only one thought: I'll be back!

Travelling in France for ten years, it can be said to feel everywhere.

May the best allows me to feel the history and the Humanities France France people warm and friendly place is in the Lachaise father cemetery. Although the day to go to the cemetery and not this time France tour on the first day, but it is my entire trip unforgettable day.

Go to France before I listed many places to visit, Lachaise father cemetery in one of the columns, you can say is I need to go.

Where buried many world-class cultural celebrities. One romantic pianist and composer Chopin, the Opera "Carmen" and "Alai city girl" composer Bize, Italy opera composer Rossini and Tabellini, the Carnival of Romania suite composed by Michael is, Callas, soprano singer, dancer Duncan, stage actress Sarah Junv · Bena, rock star Jim Morrison, France-literatus Balzac, Hugo, Brest, Don Wright, Nodier, Gertrude Stein, France · famous poet and writer of Fables of La Fontaine, Existentialism, poet and writer of Sartre couples-Eugene Pottier, playwright Moliere, Oscar Wilde, the painter de la Croix, etc. are buried here.

Here is the "Sun King" Louis XIV (1643-1715, in bits) of the Confessor-Jesuit Lachaise's luxury villas. Lachaise won the Louis XIV of Nin, mastering the religious affairs for over 34 years, this villa is Louis XIV gave him. 1804 years here to cemetery, people used to call it the Lachaise father cemetery. According to statistics, Lachaise father cemetery is Paris 14 seat cemetery in the biggest, 200 years cumulative interment million deceased; existing Vault 10 million seat, and was buried nearly 30 million people.

In order to visit these undead, before setting out to do a little preparation though, but it is only slightly aware who was buried here.

In the afternoon we take metro line 2 to the graveyard, a walk into the cemetery inside zhuaxia. In the face of the vast sea of the Tomb, the dense forest of steles, it really doesn't matter from. I can list many columns may be limited where looking at the time of their tomb wow? both in for a pound, along the rough blocks slowly find, find the calculation that, so with a simple cemetery map and door signs we started looking for. Spent a good half-day effort was first found the tomb of Chopin, on his tombstone front carved his side head relief, here is his name and birthday, tombstone above is wrapped with a veil, springs from the grief with hair, loosely humming girl head sculpture, in front of the tomb of a visitor who presented many flowers. In front of his burial, which help in memory of the musician's life and those who are familiar with the music, he and his big 6-year-old woman writer George · legend of Mulberry's love, his brilliant Piano Sonata, his sensitive, delicate, rich and intense poetic ….

In Chopin's grave left a shadow later started the hard to find.

Balzac's Tomb? Callas Tomb where ... we just kept on looking for that kept questioning. Usually come here mostly for relatives and ancestors ' graves, asking them capital is shaking his head, ask cemetery staff also just tell you a general orientation. We are at a loss if she suddenly found a middle-aged men in France is holding a book reading in the graveyard, thought this one was really quite interesting, in the graveyard book, is to seek a calm here, or for other what …. Didn't think we would look forward to using bad English say his Balzac's Tomb and Callas's Tomb in which he looked me in the hands of the map, and then tell us the exact location of the cemetery. We know and in the direction of his means, and will probably go to 100 metres, the man from France followed up and called out to us that you want to take us. At that time I felt really good is very excited to Wow, did not know that what is good, he kept just learned French said: ' buy and drink drink but pity! buy (thank you) '!

He seems to always be here, on the cemetery of everything is so familiar that we as he moves through the forest of steles trail, every person he feels important cemeteries are thin as we explain, in part is we know and don't know.

When he saw us puzzled looks when hand animatedly, tell us who is a poet, thinker who is …. In his lead by our first came to ashes to ashes toilet casket Hall is set in four of the wall, famous soprano singer Callas's tomb is placed on the ground floor, her tombstone, is 16259, I never thought that such a world famous soprano of only 30 cm x monument, tombstones were left to plug in a bunch of flowers, may also be like we do admire her offer. In her grave stands, it seems my ear pierced her sing in the Opera "Tosca", "for love, for the sake of art" sweet sentimental songs. "For love, for the sake of art" is on her short life of the best comments.

Out of ashes, we turn to find writers Pu Brest, Balzac, Don Wright, Oscar Wilde, Nodier, Don Wright, La Fontaine, Jean-Paul Sartre couples; painters de la Croix St. Simon, thinkers; poet Eugene. Bob Utah El; composer Bize, Nai, library, Rossini, Bailey, et al. 's grave, in their grave I only heart silently to pay tribute to them, because their health, for the mankind to create too much too valuable spiritual wealth, they deserve people they admire and cherish forever.

Lachaise father Cemetery there are so many world-class cultural celebrities here Habitat, this make people have to think about, if globalization is not only the city to see foreign living come or not, live, also foreigners died leaving no stay of the soul.

But such a city, the world has not. For many centuries, Paris has maintained a "intercourse". It enables aliens after death love to stay here. Underappreciated artists, retirement of Hollywood stars and cynicalDissidents, coup ousted politician, think of Paris. Past China in a word: a person's birth is not selected, but his future is optional. In other words: a life in what city was accidental, but buried in what the city can be selected. There are many foreigners, selection and was buried in Paris. Selected Paris, just select the free life. This is the significance of Paris, Lachaise father cemetery.

Here I have a feeling that some of the world famous tombs and other non-famous grave than is so simple and plain, too obscure, but has that kind of person who's bootstrap France, I really can't imagine can find so many celebrities in the Tomb, he showed us what are the necropolis a good two and a half hours until the closed park after dark is deplored.

When I left my chest at parting with a rose in France flag medal award him, he told us he would like it very much literature and classical music. No wonder he here so familiar with, no wonder he can proudly point to explain to us the way, maybe he is as there are so many world famous people could live in Paris and proud, maybe also for we have the same interests. But anyway, my mind is very grateful to the people of France. I also remember those graveyard dead souls, I will always remember the old alive France friends.

This is why I put this day as France travel cards.
