There is also a very famous attraction near the goris, a monastery on the edge of the canyon, surrounded by beautiful countryside and rolling hills. tatev is 17 km from goris. From Goris to tatev on the road every Monday and Friday at 3 pm there is a direct bus, we chose 2000 Dram taxis. Along the way is a large green meadow, occasionally interspersed with small pieces of wildflowers in full bloom. The enthusiastic Armenian driver is also funny with us. When driving, he dances and tells the story. Both hands leave the steering wheel and scare us to dare to talk to the driver again. to chat with. The road to the tatev monastery has the longest cable car in the world, up to 5km long. The locals are kindly called the tatev wing, sitting on the cable car to watch the unobstructed Caucasus Mountains, but every Monday is out of service. When we arrived, we missed the longest cable car in the world on Monday, so we had to leave regrets, maybe we can come back again next time. The hillside opposite the tatev is a good view point and you can admire the beauty of the monastery from all angles. Not far from the monastery, walk slowly for about half an hour.

From the center of Goris to the caves for hiking, there is no public transportation. We have to choose a ride, and we have three cars to and from the intersection of Laoge, and we need to walk 1km to reach the cave. On this road, the scenery of the Caucasus Mountains is fascinating, and there are wild flowers everywhere in the mountains, matching the blue sky and matching with the green grass, as if it is a picture in the landscape oil painting. Old goris is a place that locals like to come to. There are very few tourists. A few people come to barbecue and drink and dance music. The old goris has a long suspension bridge linking the two mountains. The underground of the suspension bridge is flowing water with a certain height. We played for three hours before going back.

In the mind about the oil-filled town of oil painting, I thought it was in Europe, and I just arrived in the small town of Armenia in the three countries of the Caucasus, I thought I walked into the oil painting, this city is full of roses. With aroma. I transited from the exotic Persian Iranian land to Armenia in the Caucasus. The day before, it was a conservative tradition. The next second, I took off my headscarf and showed up. The first shot was still a boring mountain, and the next step was Into the grassland of the mountains and plains. Each recorded in the scenery along Armenia, the green almost overflowed the screen, and then changed the angle, the pink wildflowers filled the hillside. came to Armenia's first stop, Gols, and found a very interesting phenomenon in the local area. Almost every household is planted with roses. July is the season of blooming roses, and the red rose is from the wall. There was a head in the wall. In the wall of another family, various red roses were piled up with the door beams, and even on the side of the road, the roses that were not planted were romantic throughout the summer. Not only is the rose open, but even the locals are full of enthusiasm. When I passed by a family, I was attracted by the rose of the door wall. I couldnt stop taking a few photos. It was just discovered by my grandmother at home. We smiled and we waved us to be at home. We are also welcome. One upstairs found that five or six children in the family were watching us shyly, and their playmates were sunning on the balcony.
