Therefore, when you come to Oaxaca, the most culturally strong place in Mexico, the first stop is to explore monuments. Alban Mountain is located in the Oaxaca Valley, about 10 kilometers west of the city of Oaxaca, and was listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1987. In the 7th century BC, the Olmeka people of ancient Indians built the city here, and set 42 square kilometers of the center of the city as a place of sacrifice, and built buildings such as tombs, pyramid temples, football fields, observatories and other buildings. The tomb room also has exquisite murals and reliefs, and a large number of burials are stored. At the museum at the entrance of the scenic spot, look at the burials dug out of the site, and listen to the guide aunt tell various creepy stories. She also told us that due to the immature archaeological technology of the year, many antiquities were destroyed, so most of the stories were imagined by later generations, and many were not available for verification. Recommended way of playing for friends who travel alone, participating in a day trip should be the simplest and most cost-effective choice. The youth travel I live in introduces a variety of day trip information in detail in the booking email, and the front desk also provides reservations. Includes: 4 attractions; Equipped with: travel bus, a bilingual guide in English and Western, a driver; Fee: 220 pesos (including round-trip transportation) + tip (guide and driver usually about 20 pesos each), tickets for each attraction are self-care, a special lunch will be arranged halfway, and a fee will be charged according to the actual consumption (Li Yan spent 150 pesos for a meal); tickets: about 60 pesos (the specific amount can not be remembered). Language: Most of the attractions are only introduced in Spanish. The local tour guides are basically uncles and aunts with a heavy accent. If your language is not good enough, you can also go to the valley by yourself. Meeting a group of local girls in school uniforms in the museum lobby, Li began to whisper as soon as she saw him. Finally, as I was leaving the museum, they sent a representative to summon up the courage to ask me where I came from in poor English. When I said China, everyone was excited to wow, and then asked if I could take a photo with me. In the next round of photo sessions, Li Yan seemed to be treated as a big star, and Yuan was a little flattered. It is a confirmation of the youth travel boss Martin, there are indeed very few Chinese tourists here. Unfortunately, the little girls took a wild shot with their mobile phones, and I was left behind because I didn't want my peers to wait too long to return to the team in a hurry, but I didn't leave a photo. Oaxaca is the most economically backward place compared to other parts of Mexico, and perhaps that is why it is the most complete cultural preservation of the native culture. However, the happiness of the locals hangs on their faces without a disguise, which also makes Oaxaca the most cost-effective place to play in Mexico. The first stop in Mexico made me deeply like this place! Going out in Mexico to prevent sun and mosquitoes must be done!
