For example, in the north of India, there is a city with a clean environment and full of romance. There is also a pink building in the city that amazes tourists. There are 953 windows.

A beautiful?Pink City?

This city is called Jaipur, the capital of the northern Indian state of Rajasthan. Jaipur has a long history. It was founded in 1727 and has a history of more than 300 years. The biggest feature of the entire city is that all the buildings are painted pink, and the blocks are arranged in a checkerboard layout. The fusion of architecture and layout creates the modern beauty of Indian classical architecture, so it is called pink. city?. Driven by tourism, Jaipur has also successfully become a photo-shooting destination for internet celebrities.

The Ancient and Romantic Palace of Winds

Since the biggest feature of Jaipur is its architecture, tourists who travel here generally focus on appreciating the architecture. The more famous buildings include Ambar Fort, Jaipur Palace, Amber Fort, Palace of Winds, etc. The most representative one is the Palace of Winds. The Palace of Winds can be said to be a landmark building in Jaipur. It was built in 1799. Although it is a relatively old building, under the modern urban atmosphere, the editor still feels that it is filled with a more romantic atmosphere.

The architectural shape of the Wind Palace is like a hill, with concave sides and a bulge in the middle. The walls are pink, which reminds the editor of the glorious Disney palace, and it also feels like stepping into a fairy tale world. feeling. In fact, although its name is called the palace, it should be more accurately called the "Wall of Wind", because behind its beautiful walls there are not those magnificent aristocratic rooms that people imagine, but only some ordinary rooms. It's just a small house. Walking towards the back of the Wind Palace, except for the top of the mountain which is a little pink, the rest of the place is covered with light yellow walls, which looks richer and fresher.

There are 953 windows lined up on the walls

Apart from the color of the whole building, the most surprising thing is that there are actually 953 windows lined up in one row. In the editor’s opinion, can so many windows really ensure the strength of the wall? Sure enough, it is said that when encountering strong winds, all the windows must be opened to let the wind pass through to ensure that the walls do not collapse, hence the name "Palace of Winds". Various colored glass are inlaid inside the palace windows. When the sunlight shines down, it will refract colorful halo on the ground, which is very charming.

The reason why the windows were built is sad

It is reported that these windows were not only built for ventilation, but to facilitate the princesses and maids who once lived here to see the outside through the windows. world. To be honest, the editor still felt a little sad. Although their curiosity was satisfied, the tall walls still restricted their freedom.

There is also a platform on the top floor of the palace. The platform is all pink and full of flowers. From here, you can overlook the entire Jaipur building. I wonder if the princesses and maids at that time stopped here?
