#Headline Creation Challenge # The world is big, there is no wonder, when we watched "Journey to the West" when we were young, there was a magical daughter country in the TV series, in fact, in real life there is a small island it is known as the "man country", the island has never been a woman has ever stepped into, the only female animal on the island is only a hen, and all other female animals do not exist on the island.
Mount Athos, the only autonomous monastic state in Greece, sits on the sacred mountain peninsula at the northern tip of the Aegean Sea. Whether in the whole hill or in the monastery, there are all the monks and hermits, and there is not a single woman. As early as 1060, it was strictly forbidden for any female to enter, even female animals could not exist here, with the only exception for hens, because the monks needed eggs for nourishment.
Mount Athos, Greece, is not only the only "man's country" in the world, but also a world cultural heritage site. The devout male monks here have regarded abstinence and asceticism as the right path, and they have been here for thousands of years. Like practitioners for thousands of years, they divide the day into 3 parts, 8 hours of prayer, 8 hours of labor, and 8 hours of rest.
Mount Athos, as a world cultural and natural double heritage site, is not only the only "man's country" in the world, but also has a beautiful natural scenery and a deep cultural and historical heritage. The water here is clear and blue, the mountains here are steep, and the whole area presents a picture of beautiful mountains and rivers, resembling an isolated paradise, how can tourists not yearn for it.
Mount Athos, a monastery hidden in this mountain, makes the whole mountain full of unique mountain views, and at the same time adds more mystery to the mountain. There are monasteries in the caves on the cliffs, and monasteries on the top of the cliffs, and the various houses and buildings and peaks are integrated into one, which is very spectacular from a distance.
Mount Athos, Greece, which still maintains the most primitive way of life and labor, there are no modern tools, no network television, no games, and the monks here repeat the same three things day after day, year after year, here, labor, prayer, rest.
The monasteries standing on Mount Athos, each with its own unique characteristics, is an independent landscape, some with a long history, some with unique shapes. When you look out over the monasteries on the hill in the distance, you will find them standing like castles, where they guard this land away from the hustle and bustle of the city day and night.
