Come back from a trip to Sudan and tell you 10 truths!
I once heard that "travel is the best teacher", but it was only when I set foot in the mysterious land of Sudan that I truly understood the profound meaning of this sentence. Sudan, a country in northeastern Africa, is a little-known country with many amazing attractions and unique cultures. During this trip, I experienced first-hand the beauty and wonder of Sudan and was deeply fascinated by the country. In this article, I will tell you 10 truths that I have drawn from my travels to Sudan, each of which is deeply rooted in my personal experience.
1. Mystical Nileside:
In Sudan, the Nile River runs through the land and flows through the desert, presenting a mysterious scene. I once rafted down the Nile in a small boat, admiring the desert scenery on both sides of the river. The people of the Nile live in this desert and rely on the river to create a unique civilization that is isolated from the rest of the world.
2. Red Pyramid:
Most people are familiar with the pyramids of Egypt, but Sudan has equally stunning pyramids, and there are many more of them. The most famous of these is the Pyramid of Napota, a red pyramid that takes on a unique color in the setting sun, as if red gems were scattered in the desert.
3. Inheritance of Hieroglyphs:
Sudan is a land of ancient civilizations, and they have preserved the tradition of hieroglyphs. I saw in the museum the well-preserved hieroglyphic tablets that recorded the life, religion and culture of the ancient Sudanese, and made me feel as if I had traveled back in time to communicate with the ancient people.
4. Devout Faith:
Sudan is a predominantly Islamic country, and here I felt the devotion of the people to religion. In the early morning, I was in awe when I could see the Muslims worshipping near the mosque from the hotel window.
5. Colorful Markets:
The market in Sudan is a colorful world, and I saw a wide variety of spices, jewelry, textiles, etc. there. The vendors at the market were warm and genuine, and interacting with them gave me a deeper understanding of the life and culture of the Sudanese people.
6. Rustic Folklore:
In the countryside of Sudan, I experienced the rustic folk life. The villagers are hospitable and share their food and stories. I participated in a traditional dance in a village and laughed with the villagers, which was the most heartwarming moment of my trip.
7. Palace in the Desert:
Hidden in the desert of the Sultan are palaces that were once symbols of the ancient kingdom. I walked through an old palace and felt the precipitation of history. The palace in the desert is like a witness to time, immersing me in ancient legends.
8. Beautiful Bantu National Park:
Bantu National Park in Sudan is a nature reserve with an abundance of wildlife. I saw wild animals such as antelopes and elephants in the park, and I felt the tranquility and harmony of nature.
