“Oriental” will be your first thought when you see the buildings and the historical places. Even though the vibrant atmosphere, this section will make you sense a mysterious atmosphere. These lands were called as a “garden of Eden” and you must have more then a 4 gigabyte memory-card brought with you for your camera. How many times will you have the possibility to see that close heaven? |
