Here, Chinese known as Lover, is visa-free for Chinese, also has the same 12 zodiac signs as China, and is also the origin of saffron and spinach. This is Iran in the Middle East.
When I drove around the world to this country, I found that it was so strange that the whole world was using Arabic numerals, while Iran was doing special, using Persian numerals. When shopping, looking at the price tag, I often fall into contemplation. Interestingly, Iranians generally go to the toilet when they fart because they feel that farting in public places is a shameful thing to do. I think Iran is one of the best-looking countries I've been to. There are handsome men and women everywhere on the street, and interestingly, Iranians especially like to give their noses a facelift. Unlike us, Iranians love to make their tall noses small and flat. Iran is one of the countries with the lowest legal age for marriage in the world, with men 15 years old and women 13 years old, while in Iran in the last century, men and women reached the legal age of marriage at the age of nine. Iran practices polygamy, but to marry a wife, you must first obtain the signature consent of the original wife and ensure that each wife is treated fairly. In fact, most Iranian men only marry one wife.
The hottest surface temperature in the world since recorded was 70.7 degrees Celsius in the Lut Desert in Iran. Summers in Iran are really hot, but in Iran, men can't wear tank tops and shorts on the streets. Women need to wear a headscarf when they go out, and if they don't obey these, both men and women will be arrested. Iranians can't eat pork and can't drink alcohol. Dog ownership is also banned in Iran, supposedly because they consider dogs harmful and dangerous. In fact, the origin of saffron is Iran, not Tibet, but it was introduced to the mainland from Iran through Tibet in that year, so it is called saffron. The origin of spinach is also Iran, Iran used to be called Persian spinach, which is actually Persian cuisine.
Persian carpets are world-famous, in Iran every household has carpets, good carpets can sell up to tens of millions of dollars, three meals a day are almost all barbecue, in Iran every day to eat barbecue almost to vomit. Tomatoes are the most common vegetables, and there are tomatoes at almost every meal. Iran's oil reserves are the fourth in the world, natural gas reserves are the first in the world, a liter costs six cents, in Iran a bottle of 1.5 liters of water is about 1.5 yuan to sell, and 1.5 liters of oil only needs a dollar, is a country where oil is cheaper than water. I found that Iranian prices are really low for foreigners, and you can stay in a very good hotel for about 30 yuan. Fruit is only a few cents to one or two pieces, ranging from one pound, a large cake is only three or four cents, and beef is about ten pieces a pound. These are related to long-standing U.S. sanctions. Today, Iran's currency is constantly depreciating, inflation is severe, and it is very cost-effective for foreigners to travel in Iran, but for their own people, it is a disaster.
The maximum denomination of Iranian coins is 1 million, which is equivalent to 25 yuan, and each time you go to exchange money, you need to mention a few bundles of Iranian coins, which is equivalent to a thousand yuan. After crossing the Middle East Peninsula, he took a ferry from Dubai to Iran. Because of the sanctions, I still can't swipe my credit card, and the domestic UnionPay card can't be used here, so when I pay the permit fee, I have to give cash in US dollars. Driving in Iran, you can see a variety of Danxia landforms from time to time, and the mountains in the distance are like a huge Great Wall, stretching endlessly. In fact, in the northern region of Iran, there is also a great wall, which was built to prevent the invasion of the Huns, but it is only a short 200 kilometers. Driving to a village in Bris, I found that there were many people living in the stone. Legend has it that the villagers fled here to escape the Mongol invasion and dug a cave in the volcanic rock and have lived there ever since. These caves are more than 700 years old, and although they look very strange, they are very comfortable to live in, warm in winter and cool in summer.
Ruins of the U.S. Embassy in Iran. In 1979, the Tehran hostage incident shocked the world in Iran, the U.S. embassy was occupied by Iranian students, and 12 U.S. diplomats and civilians were held hostage for 444 days. This has also led to a freezing point in the relationship between the United States and Iran, which is still hostile to each other. Today, the embassy has been empty, but you can still see the various office equipment left behind. The walls were painted with all sorts of anti-American graffiti by Iranians. In Iran, the famous entrance to the palace, the entire roof of the building is inlaid with various mirrors, shining under the light, beautiful. In Yazd, a ghost town. There is no one here who is quiet and terrible, and the city is like a labyrinth of mazes, like a secret room explorer using a drone to pull the camera away. The ghost town is like a giant termite nest, and the city is still a thousand-year-old town on the Silk Road. After the earthquake, it gradually fell into ruin. In Salad, I also came across a pink salt lake, which looked like a raw material board from a high altitude, and I didn't expect such a magical place in Iran.
In fact, Iran is also an ancient civilization, with a history of more than 5,000 years. At its peak, the empire covered an area of more than 7 million square kilometers, spanning three continents in Asia, Africa and Europe, and in the ancient capital of Persiapolis, the ruins in front of people were extremely shocking, and it was as if they were dreaming of returning to Persia. On the border between Iran and Iraq, there are bullet marks on the walls and ruins, even minefields. Looking at all this, I can't help but sigh that peace is not easy to come by. In order to prevent the Iraqi helicopter from landing, the Iranians inserted the car into the ground, and although it has been decades, the car still stands here. Iran, like China, has 12 zodiac signs, but the zodiac dragon and tiger are exchanged for a sum insured. Iran also exempts Chinese visa-free, visa-free, and can travel to Iran at any time as a Chinese. In Iran, Chinese known as lovers, which may be related to the Qing Dynasty on the mainland. Walking on the streets of Iran, there is a feeling of stardom, many people greet you, even take photos, and often mention Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan to you. It seems that Chinese films have a far-reaching impact. The Iranians are also very friendly to Chinese. 50 years ago, Iran was still very modern and advanced, but today the Iranian people are living in regression, and when I asked him if he hated the United States, his answer surprised me, he told me that he did not hate the American people, he hated the President of the United States. When I asked him about his impression of China, he told me that China is extremely advanced and powerful, and he expressed his envy for it, and still a lot of things are imported from China. After saying that, they also showed me their various Chinese-made products, and they used Huawei mobile phones, and they also liked China very much, because under the sanctions, China is an important partner of Iran. After listening to what he said, I couldn't help but lament how important a stable external environment was for my own development. A comparison between the two countries shows how wise our Chinese is in dealing with various international affairs.
At the same time, china's rapid development today is very envious of many countries. In Iran, I also visited the Kurdish ghetto and came to a Kurdish town, I thought that I would be greeted by a fierce and evil face, but I did not expect that the local villagers were very friendly, constantly greeting me, saying hello in Chinese. The elders of the town also invited me to the tea house to drink tea, and almost all of them wore their own national costumes, just like this kind of big pants, which looked very different. Before I could finish my tea, the townspeople invited me to their house to play pool and play in a central duel. After playing pool, I was pulled by another group of children to play football, and although they played in the alley, they still had a lot of fun. We took a group photo together before leaving, and the Children of Kur kept me in the car before leaving. The locals are really enthusiastic, and at this time they feel warm and fulfilling.
