A famous tourist city across the Eurasian continent is known as the "world capital", and tourists must go once in their lives.

If I ask you: What is the capital of Turkey? It is estimated that 99% of people will answer "Istanbul". But this answer is wrong, because now the capital of Turkey is Ankara, and the name of Istanbul is almost unknown.

In fact, the city of Istanbul is very famous in the world. It has a profound historical and cultural heritage, both antique oriental charm and magnificent western charm, which embodies the magnificent style of Eurasia and the integration of East and West, and has been selected as one of the 50 "once-in-a-lifetime" places in the world.

As the largest city in Turkey, Istanbul has the busiest port in Turkey, spanning Eurasia and occupying an important throat of maritime trade, making Istanbul the cultural, economic and financial center of Turkey and one of the most popular tourist cities in the world.

Napoleon once said that if the whole world is a country, its capital must be Istanbul. ? Istanbul has a history of nearly 3,000 years, with its capital 1600 years. It is the longest city in the world as the national capital.

This fully shows that this city has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It not only has a unique geographical position, but also spans Europe and Asia. It is also an important node of the ancient Silk Road, which contains the ideological, cultural and artistic essence of non-ethnic groups in Europe and Asia.

Today, Istanbul has retained many splendid places of interest and become a rich and heavy historical city. There are more than 400 mosques, more than 20 churches and more than 40 museums in this city. Time has changed, and the charm has not diminished. The ancient town here has also been rated as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO.

While maintaining its cultural heritage, the city is still full of vitality. In Istanbul, there is a Grand Bazaar with a history of more than 500 years. It consists of 80 streets and more than 4000 shops. There is a sea of people here, business is prosperous, folk customs are colorful, and special goods are dazzling. It is an excellent place for foreign guests to experience local folk culture.

Istanbul is bordered by the Black Sea in the north, Marathi and the Mediterranean Sea in the south, and the ocean is an important lifeline of the city. For thousands of years, the Bosporus Strait has been the main traffic artery where merchants gather. Nowadays, on the blue sea here, there is an endless stream of freight ships coming and going, which is very spectacular.

I have to say that Istanbul is still a gourmet city full of fireworks. Walking in the streets, the daily life of Turks is enviable.

From the well-known Turkish barbecue, all kinds of desserts and juices, to all kinds of fresh fish and prawns, to caviar and roasted sheep intestines made by ancient methods, all of them make people want to go home.
