The tallest outdoor lift in the world - the Hundred Dragons Elevator
The tallest outdoor lift in the world - the Hundred Dragons Elevator
Bailong Elevator, whose name translates as Hundred Dragons Elevator, was decided to be built in 1999. The elevator was necessary in order to deliver tourists to the 330-meter mountain. Before the construction of the elevator, tourists could only climb on foot, and since the rock is almost sheer, few could dare to do so.
In 2002, the Wulingyan area, where the elevator was built, was decided to be included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Now tourists have the opportunity to climb to the top of the cliff in just a few minutes, from where unearthly beauty landscapes open up.

Mount Huashan
The most dangerous hiking trail in the world Mount Huashan has been one of the most important places for Taoists since the second century BC, when a Taoist temple was built at its foot. Since then, pilgrims and monks have lived on and around the mountain. A whole network of dangerous paths allows them to reach five peaks, each of which has a religious building, such as a tea house. Together, these five peaks form lotus petals. The trails have been reinforced due to the recent influx of tourists, but they are still very dangerous and have a bad reputation. They say that up to 100 people a year fall from these paths.
Mount Huashan is one of the Five Sacred Mountains of Taoism.

Amazing twin temples in China at an altitude of more than 2000 meters
Amazing twin temples in China at an altitude of more than 2000 meters
Mount Fanjin is located in China on the Wuling massif. It is famous for two reasons: firstly, the twin temples of the same name, built at an altitude of 2336 meters, are considered the visiting card of the top of the sacred mountain. And secondly, on Mount Fanjingshan you can see an unusual natural phenomenon called “Foguang”, which occurs due to the diffraction of light waves. Many in China call it Buddha Light. The photos alone will take your breath away! Therefore, the buildings can be called one of the most incredible sights on the planet.
"Foguang" appears in the sky around a mountain peak and is an amazing refraction of light as rainbow patterns appear in the air. Unfortunately, you can not always see them - you need sunny and clear weather, and in these places it is often cloudy and rainy.
Not only "Foguang" attracts tourists on Mount Fanjin: two twin temples built in mirror image - Buddha Temple and Maitreya Temple. They are located at different ends of the peak, which is split into several parts and divided by a narrow gorge, so the buildings are connected by a stone bridge. One temple represents the present, the other the future. We can say that this is a kind of symbol of the relationship between "today" and "tomorrow".
Inside the temples are quite small and consist of only one hall, without additional rooms and outbuildings. Each building is surrounded by a small observation deck, which offers incredible views of the mountain scenery. It was not for nothing that Buddhist monks climbed here several centuries ago to think about the meaning of life and achieve enlightenment. good physical fitness. For those who are not confident in their abilities, a cable car works - it delivers visitors to the temples much faster. It is interesting that many temples have been built near Mount Fanjing for a long time, so this place was already considered sacred by local residents in the 7th-10th centuries AD.

the great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is one of the most iconic man-made monuments in the world, attracting millions of visitors every year from all over the world. Huge fortifications are a triumph of engineering, stretching far across northern China. It was created to protect the territories of China from nomadic tribes, and was also used as a customs warehouse on the Great Silk Road to maintain order at the border.
It was originally made from simple rammed earth, but bricks were eventually used and laid down by millions of workers. In fact, it has been estimated that 70% of the Chinese population participated in the construction of the first sections of the Great Wall created during the Qin Dynasty.
Its length is 21,196 kilometers. The next longest man-made structure in the world is the Great Wall of Gorgan, built in Iran in the 5th or 6th century, with a length of less than 200 kilometers. Thus, it is safe to say that the Great Wall of China will retain its title for a long time to come. Although the name "Great Wall of China" gives the impression that it is a continuous line of masonry, it is not. What is called a single monument is actually a system of fortifications built by different dynasties. Many of these walls actually run parallel to each other. And not all of these fortifications include real walls.

Dara: a frozen echo of early Byzantium
Dara: a frozen echo of early Byzantium
30 km southeast of Mardin is the abandoned early Byzantine city of Dara, founded in 505 by Emperor Anastasius I, just 30 years after the fall of ancient Rome. It was called Anastasiopol, that is, in Greek, although the imperial nobility of that time still continued to speak Latin out of habit. Under Emperor Justian I the Great, Dara was rebuilt and noticeably expanded, and the city itself was renamed and began to be called in the old Roman manner of Justinian Nova . However, later it was the simple Greek name Dara (or Daras) that came into use.
This city is interesting because it was abandoned only 200 years after its foundation. Thanks to this, he retained the "transitional" features of early Byzantium, which in other places were gradually erased as the Eastern Roman Empire took on its own shape and character.
Anastasiopol was originally built as a well-fortified city with infrastructure developed by the standards of its time and played an important role in protecting the eastern borders of the empire. In 530, an important battle between the armies of the Byzantines and the Sassanids (Persian dynasty) took place under the walls of Dara.

Temple of Apollo at Didyma
Temple of Apollo at Didyma
It was the largest temple in Asia Minor. The temple of Apollo in Didyma was an important center of this cult in Ionia, and unlike the famous "wonder of the world" - the temple of Artemis in Ephesus, it is relatively well preserved. Few have heard of Didyma, her sanctuary of Apollo and the local oracle. However, this is one of the largest ancient temples in the world and the local oracle is inferior in importance only to the oracle in Greek Delphi. There is almost nothing left of Didyma herself, but her temple still staggers the imagination.

Italy. Castle Gradara Gradara
Italy. Castle Gradara
Gradara is a small town in Italy just off the Rimini-Ancona motorway, famous for its well-preserved medieval castle. The castle is clearly visible from the road, especially in the evening when it is illuminated.
Gradara Castle is famous for the tragic story of lovers Francesca and Paolo. Ask anyone in this region - everyone knows about Paolo and Francesca, from young to old.
The ruler of Rimini, Malatesta da Verruchio, and the ruler of Ravenna, Guido da Polenta, after the end of another hostility, decided to strengthen peace between cities and families by becoming related. A common thing in those days ... Giovanni, the eldest son of Malatesta, was supposed to marry the daughter of Guido da Polenta Francesca. Fearing that the young beauty would not like the middle-aged and ugly groom, who also limped and had a terrible character, the youngest son of Malatesta, the handsome Paolo, was sent to Ravenna to perform the marriage ceremony. The deception, of course, was revealed after the wedding, but the young people fell in love and began to meet in secret.
Italy. Fortress GradaraOnce the lawful husband burst into his wife's bedroom. Paolo did not have time to quickly hide, catching his cape on the door handle. Enraged, Giovanni rushed with a dagger at his brother, but Francesca stood in his way, and the dagger pierced her chest. An even more enraged Giovanni killed his brother as well. In general, the story is tragic and not at all romantic ...

Kalavantin Durg (India).
i
Kalavantin Durg (India). "Durg" means fort. Although it is called "Kalavantin Durg", there is no fort here. Kalavantin is a peak that was used by the ruler to observe the surroundings. The beauty of this fort lies in the amazing rock-cut steps that zigzag up the hill to bring you to the top of the fort. .
It is located near the Indian city of Mumbai on top of a high cliff. Contrary to its loud name, the fort is just a small cave at the top. There are several legends about how this cave and the staircase carved into the rock appeared, but none of them has any evidence. At the moment, Kalavantin Durg is very popular among tourists, but not everyone can master the three-hour climb. As compensation, those who have mastered the difficult climb will have the opportunity to enjoy a stunning view.

Inca trail. Ancient road to heaven.
Inca trail. Ancient road to heaven.
On the mountain spurs of the Andes, rising to the passes and descending into the valleys, the most controlled road in the world leads to the ancient imperial city - the Inca Trail.
The Empire of the "Four Directions of the World", as the Incas themselves called themselves, occupied most of the South American continent - the territory of modern Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Colombia and Ecuador. From the capital, the city of Cusco, there were 4 roads. They led to other major cities of the empire, and smaller roads already diverged from them. The Incas built a network of roads 30 thousand km long - a lot even for modern times.
Judging by the mixture and layering of myths and beliefs of the Incas that the Spanish conquerors found, it is clear that the empire flourished long before the appearance of the Spaniards. The Incas built roads, cities and fortresses, systems of irrigation canals, multi-tiered terraced fields, even changed the course of rivers, created a society with a complex social organization. The arrival of the Spaniards marked the end of the empire. And it's not just about the war. Measles and smallpox brought by Europeans mowed down the inhabitants of both Americas. And with the disappearance of the empire, the culture of the Incas also left. Only ruins remain. And there is still an ancient road - the Inca Trail. More precisely, 43 km of the ancient road, now included in the TOP 10 best hiking trails in the world.
It seems surprising, but in the progressive Inca empire they did not know the wheels, they did not ride carts. All cargo was transported on pack animals. But if you look at the area in which the Incas lived, it is clear that the wagon will be useless there. On wheels, you can’t ride on permanent steps. Therefore, the Inca Trail is reserved for walkers and beasts of burden.
There are only 4 routes of passing the Trails of varying difficulty. The shortest is designed for 2 days, the most difficult for 7 and also includes the passage along the Salkantay glacier.

A complex of drawings that attracts many tourists and riddle seekers
The complex of drawings, which attracts many tourists and seekers of mysteries, is located 450 kilometers from the capital of Peru, Lima. Its total territory stretches for more than 50 kilometers from north to south and 5-7 kilometers from west to east. Thus, mysterious lines, giant geometric figures and drawings (geoglyphs) cover the surface of the desert with an area of approximately 500 square kilometers. At the moment, about 30 drawings are known (bird, monkey, spider, flowers, etc.); also about 13 thousand lines and stripes and about 700 geometric figures (primarily triangles and trapezoids, as well as about a hundred spirals). Since the images reach several hundred meters in length and are difficult to recognize from the ground, they were officially discovered only in modern times, when flying over the plateau in the first half of the 20th century. In 1994, they were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. These drawings were discovered by accident, thanks to aviation, since they can only be seen from an airplane or from a high altitude. The first to see giant geometric figures from an airplane in 1920 was the American explorer Paul Kosok. The scientist peered in amazement at this incredible kaleidoscope of trapezoids, triangles and spirals that dotted the plateau over a vast territory. In addition, there were images of over 100 known plants and animals, as well as a scattering of incomprehensible, unrelated straight lines.
These lines especially struck the scientist. They cut through the desert in all directions without any apparent order, were absolutely straight and ran beyond the horizon, completely ignoring the unevenness of the terrain - through the hills and valleys.
The 60 km long sandy plain of Nazca is located 400 km south of the Peruvian capital Lima, between the cities of Nazca and Palpa. In these places, the earth does not see moisture for years. Drops of rare rain, falling on a hot rocky surface, immediately evaporate. This lifeless space is an ideal place for incorruptible burials. Later, studying all the drawings on the spot, Paul Kosok saw that the technology for their execution was surprisingly simple. It was only necessary to move the stones and the turf beneath them, exposing the soft earth, and lay them in a row.

: Bran Castle (Rom. Castelul Bran, German Törzburg, Hungarian Törcsvár)
Bran Castle (Rom. Castelul Bran, German Törzburg, Hungarian Törcsvár) is a castle in Romania, in the picturesque town of Bran, 30 km from Brasov, on the border of Muntenia and Transylvania.
Count Dracula's Castle is the most famous among the medieval castles built in Transelvania. It is located on the territory of the Carpathian Mountains near the city of Brasov. The Stone Castle was built on the site of an old wooden fortress by the inhabitants of the region many centuries ago, for which they were given eternal freedom from paying tribute to the state. This is the main attraction of the country, which serves as a kind of monument to the famous vampire and the Middle Ages. According to legend, Count Dracula himself once lived in the castle. The story of his life is known to many fans of science fiction.
The castle was built in the 14th century on top of a high cliff. In the 17th century, two watchtowers were built. Today it has 4 levels connected by a stone staircase. The halls and corridors of the castle are a complex mysterious labyrinth. The cruelty and composure of Count Dracula ruined more than one life and there are still rumors that ghosts roam around the castle and strange sounds are heard at night.
The castle changed owners several times. Initially, it served as a lookout point for the military. From there, the surroundings of the city are really clearly visible, because it is located on a rock. According to history, later the queen of Romania and the prince of the Wallachians lived there, then it belonged to local lords. And Vlad Tepes, who had the nickname Dracula, was not the owner of this house, he only occasionally stayed there as a guest when he came to hunt in the forests that surrounded the castle. This cruel nobleman really existed, he really killed, so he was given such a nickname. And even after his death, the frightened people made up stories that the count had signed a contract with a demon for eternal life, but already in the form of a vampire.

Aphrodisia (Aphrodisias)
Aphrodisia (Aphrodisias) - one of the most curious ancient Greek citiesAphrodisia (Aphrodisias) - one of the most curious ancient Greek cities
Almost anyone who has ever been to Turkey has visited Pamukkale, but few people know that just 40 km from the famous travertines is one of the most curious ancient Greek cities.
Aphrodisia or Aphrodisias compares favorably with other cities with a variety of different objects and artifacts. Here you have a classic set: a theater, an agora, a bouleuterium, and very rare objects: the largest surviving ancient Greek stadium, a fountain and a museum of various stucco and figures.
There is practically no such set anywhere in modern Turkey.

Inside the Temple of Abu Simbel, Aswan, Egypt.
Inside the Temple of Abu Simbel, Aswan, Egypt. The single entrance is flanked by four colossal 20 m (66 ft) tall statues, each representing Ramesses II seated on a throne and wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. The statue immediately to the left of the entrance was damaged in an earthquake, causing the head and torso to fall off; these fallen pieces were not recovered from, but were placed at the feet of the statue in the positions originally found.
Near the feet of Ramesses are a number of other smaller statues, no higher than the knees of the pharaoh, depicting: his main wife, Nefertari Meritmut; his queen mother Mut-Tui; his first two sons, Amon-her-khepeshef and Ramesses B; and his first six daughters: Bintanat, Baketmut, Nefertari, Meritamen, Nebettawi and Isetnofret.

Rock tombs of Kaunos, Turkey.
Rock tombs of Kaunos, Turkey.
Six rock tombs (4-2 centuries BC) of Kaunos overlook the Dalyan River. The façade of these tombs is reminiscent of those of Hellenistic temples, with two Ionic columns, a triangular pediment, an architrave with jagged friezes, and acroteria in the shape of palm leaves. This type of tomb is mostly attested in Turkey and it is certain that they belonged to members of the local elite.
The Lycians believed that the higher a person was buried, the easier it would be for him to ascend to heaven. The highest places in the rocks are occupied by burials with chic decoration, indicating the status of the owner.
The tombs, by the way, were plundered long before our days. The ancient tradition of burying jewelry with the owner was strong in these parts. Treasures have always attracted treasure hunters.

They fought not for life, but for death. The hawk-king Jatayu and the ten-headed ogre demon Ravana. Fire arrows flew in clouds, and with razor-sharp claws, the king of birds slashed the demon's body. But Jatayu was too old, and Ravana was invulnerable and cunning. His wounds healed, in place of the torn off hands, new ones immediately grew. With a sharp sword, he surreptitiously cut off the bird's wings, and Jatayu fell to the ground.Friends, if you liked the video, click on +, add comments and optionally subscribe to promote the channel !!!!!!

Tigers
In territorial animals, marking behavior is primarily aimed at regulating intraspecific relationships - animals learn about the border of the territory, about sex, age, and readiness for mating.
Tigers prefer trees that stand out in some way, such as those with a slanted or twisted trunk, as well as trees that grow
in the places of the most frequent passages of animals.
