"Departure Turkey Tour"
Under the starlight last night, I stepped on the K87 train from Nanchang to Guangzhou, which was like a time shuttle, taking me through the night to meet the dawn. The train arrives in Guangzhou in the morning light, and at 17 p.m., I will take a flight to the small country of Bahrain, from where I will transfer to Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey.
Turkey, an ancient and romantic land, is bordered by the waves of the Black Sea in the north, the blue waves of the Eastern Mediterranean in the south, Syria and Iraq in the southeast, the gentleness of the Aegean Sea in the west, Greece and Bulgaria, and Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran in the east.
Its capital, Ankara, sits in the heart of the Anatolian plateau. Ninety-eight percent of the population is Islamic, and the principle of separation of church and state is firmly upheld by national law.
Turkey, a country straddling the Eurasian continent, is a treasure trove of the world's plant resources, attracting the world's attention with its rich natural resources and varied climate.
Our journey will start from Istanbul and head north, passing through the fragrance of the Saffron City, the magnificence of the Sidellik hills, the historical precipitation of Ankara, the mystery of the salt lake of Lake Tuz, the fantasy of Cappadocia, the antiquity of the underground city of Kemakler, the wisdom of Konya, the gentleness of the cotton city, the tranquility of the town of Shirins, the leisurely retreat of the Aegean resort of Siri, the romance of Kushadasi, the splendor of the ancient city of Fusso, the industrial pulse of Bursha, the tranquility of the town of Jumalek, and finally back to Istanbul, Complete this wonderful loop.
During my time in Turkey, I will use words, poems and pictures to record what I see and feel every day, and share them with my circle of friends in the form of "beautiful articles". Let the joy of this trip, like the wind in Turkey, blow in front of every friend.
Yesterday, I wrote the article "My Idol Xu Xiake", and a friend said to me on WeChat: "Your footprints have spread all over the country, across Asia, and arrived in more than 90 countries in the world, and your journey is broader and more distant than Xu Xiake!" ”
Xu Xiake, the explorer I have always admired, had no modern communications, no airplanes, high-speed trains, no highways, almost all transportation on foot, and even horseback riding and boat riding were luxuries. He carried a heavy bag, prepared his own dry food, and slept in the open air, so you can imagine how difficult his journey was at that time. His spirit, like a beacon that never goes out, will always illuminate my path forward.
