Capadocia: Loki, Elf Chimney, watching the natural wonders like Mars on a hot air balloon.

The main sightseeing project in Capadocia is to see the unique rock landforms here. As the world's natural and cultural heritage, the cultural part has been introduced in another episode "Capadocia: Ancient Underground City, Stone Church, Unique Cave Hotel Accommodation Experience", and the natural part is the content of this episode.

Fairy Chimney is the most famous and unique wind fossil in Capadocia. Its cylinder and mushroom cap are simply the masterpieces of aliens. No wonder the American sci-fi blockbuster Star Wars was chosen here.

All kinds of rocks are grotesque, giving people the desire and time to fully develop their imagination:

Camel stone is an important landscape in the scenic spot, so it has been specially protected.

Further expand the imagination, I wonder if the following name is appropriate?

Pashapi Valley is a place where "fairy tale chimneys" are concentrated, and foreign tourists are usually arranged to browse on foot and shuttle between boulders.

Such a strange landscape is definitely not enjoyed on the ground, so watching it by hot air balloon is the most ideal and exciting form of sightseeing. It is said that there are only two places in the world that are most suitable for hot air balloon riding, one is Masai Mara grassland in Kenya, and the other is Capadocia in Turkey. Fortunately, I have had personal experience in both places. By the way, our hot air balloon is called rainbow, and it has seven color blocks. It's very beautiful! A group member said interestingly that he would rather the balloon we took was not beautiful and let us see other beautiful hot air balloons. That's selfish, but it makes sense.

From ignition to ascent, everything seems so smooth and comfortable. It is said that hot air balloon is the safest aircraft in the world at present, and the probability of accidents is extremely low, but this cannot guarantee 100% safety. A hot air balloon burning and falling accident occurred in Luxor scenic spot in Egypt. It can be said that good equipment and professional and responsible drivers are important guarantees for safe riding in hot air balloons.

The take-off time of hot air balloons is usually chosen at sunrise in the morning, because the surface temperature is low at this time. When the sun rises, the temperature rises rapidly, forming an upward airflow, which helps the hot air balloon to rise. At this time, the light is the softest and most colorful in a day.

As we climbed higher and higher, we stepped on a hot air balloon. Later, according to the driver, this time it rose to 700 meters.

The flight time is about 30 minutes, which seems to have experienced a trip to Mars. When the hot air balloon landed slowly, everyone was still reluctant to go.

The balloon company has prepared champagne and red wine for us to drink to celebrate this successful "air exploration".
