Photo tour in Iran

Traveling in Iran, visiting Bazaar is the best place to experience the daily life and customs of local people, and it is also a good place to appreciate Persian culture and traditional handicrafts.

The market originated in Persia. Market means market. The covered market is called Bazaar, and the open-air market is called Bazaar. In Islamic society, Bazaar is the world of ordinary people's daily life.

Every city in Iran has a market. Isfahan Grand Bazaar is the oldest, most charming and most primitive. Ranked third among the top ten markets in the world. The arched streets extending northeast from Imam Square to Juli Mosque are all in Bazaar area, and the oldest part of Bazaar has a history of two thousand years. Isfahan Grand Bazaar can be divided into two parts. One is a two-story vault corridor around Imam Square, with a high dome. Each dome has a skylight, and the main pavement is on the first floor. This part of the market is dominated by Persian traditional handicraft shops, porcelain shops, copper lamp and pot shops, miniature painting shops and carpet shops. There are also local products such as spice shops and dried fruit shops. Walking into the Grand Bazaar is like walking into the world of Arabian Nights. All kinds of magical and exquisite objects are dazzling. Most handicraft shops in Grand Bazaar are a combination of workshops and shops. Walking into the shop, you can see how a handicraft is magically turned into a beautiful work in the hands of craftsmen. Persians are natural craftsmen. In the Grand Bazaar around Imam Square, most tourists come to Bazaar from all over the world. So these shopkeepers or shopkeepers can speak fluent English. Many people can also speak a few simple Chinese.

When you leave the square along the northeast direction, you enter the old downtown area. This is the world of local people. The goods sold in the shop stalls have also changed from handicrafts to daily necessities, trinkets and knickknacks, a wide variety of spices, dried fruits, vegetables and fruits. This is the oldest part of the Grand Bazaar, extending all the way to the entrance of Julie Mosque. It is also the most grounded place for foreign tourists to understand and experience the daily life of local people.

The Grand Bazaar also has some old inns and bathrooms. There are also delicious restaurants, tea rooms and dessert shops. There is a traditional old teahouse that is impressive. I can't remember the way. It should be the old Bazaar group in the northeast. It's right here anyway. The teahouse is small in space and full of people. The roof of the teahouse is covered with teapots, large and small, and the walls are covered with all kinds of shabby and eccentric decorations. The feeling for tea drinkers is not to drink tea, but to enjoy an art shop. This teahouse is so famous that it is full every time you go. You must be very lucky to wait for a seat. Teahouses also provide simple meals. Iranians like to eat meat and naturally like to drink black tea. The utensils and methods of making tea are very similar to those of Turkish black tea. The cauldron is covered with a small pot. Put the tea in a small pot, boil it with steam from a large pot, and serve it with saffron rock sugar and refreshments. According to the path of national migration, the way Turks make black tea should come from ancient Persia.

Iranians don't have the habit of getting up early, and the Grand Bazaar doesn't open until 9 o'clock. Go to the Grand Bazaar at six o'clock in the morning to find the subject. In the alley around Bazaar, the morning light shines into the dark alley from the dome skylight. From time to time, religious people who attend morning classes pass by in a hurry, and occasionally they float past graceful women in black and children at school. The morning around the Grand Bazaar is a humanistic shooting scene that photographers cannot miss.
