Eurasian Journey

Foreword As I write these words, Azerbaijan and Armenia have just ended another brief Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and the three countries of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan in the South Caucasus or Outer Caucasus region have a complicated love-hate relationship that has lasted for thousands of years. This region south of the Caucasus Mountains, east of the Caspian Sea, and west of the Black Sea, is located at the junction of Europe and Asia. Historically, the South Caucasus was ruled by the Persian Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Arab Empire, and the Ottoman Empire, and was later incorporated into the territory of Tsarist Russia, becoming part of the Soviet Union. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, the three countries became independent, and it has been just over 30 years. Although they are three countries, the total area of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia is about the same as that of Hebei Province in China, and the total population of the three countries is only about 1/5 of Hebei Province. Only Azerbaijan has a population of over 10 million, and the other two countries have a population of about 3 million, mostly concentrated in their respective capitals. The Nagorno-Karabakh dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and the disputes between Georgia and North Russia over South Ossetia and Abkhazia, make this small region extremely complex. And this is the heartland of the Eurasian continent, where different civilizations and religions blend. The majestic mountains, deep canyons, ancient churches, old cities, quiet towns, and winding coastlines all come into your view here. The people strolling leisurely by the Caspian Sea in Baku in the evening, and the musicians and passers-by dancing and singing in Tbilisi at night, are all showing you the calm and passion from the Caucasus. Our journey begins from here, from the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan to the Kura River flowing through Tbilisi, crossing the mountains and valleys of the Caucasus, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia, which we could not visit due to time constraints. This is a journey to the heart of Eurasia, the Caucasus. The trailer is out, let me tell you all about it. Looking at the Caspian Sea from the Baku Heights Park, this largest city in Azerbaijan is known as the 'Little Dubai of the Caucasus' One of the landmarks of Baku - the Aliyev Cultural Center, designed by the famous Zaha Hadid Studio. Sheki, Azerbaijan, the star track of the Caucasus Mountains. Georgia's famous love town, Sighnaghi. The Ananuri Castle, which has been on the cover of 'Lonely Planet'. Overlooking Tbilisi under the night sky from Mt. Sulorak. The girls dancing on the streets of Tbilisi at night. The night of Tbilisi. Azerbaijan Chapter Baku, 'Little Dubai of the Caucasus' Departing from Beijing, flying for more than 3 hours to Urumqi, Xinjiang, and then flying west for 4 hours, you can reach Baku, the largest city in the South Caucasus by the Caspian Sea. The Caspian Sea is actually not a 'sea', but the largest lake in the world. However, the area of the Caspian Sea, which is 370,000 square kilometers, is actually larger than many of the world's seas. Geographically, the Caspian Sea is part of the ancient Mediterranean Sea. The Caspian Sea is a place where locals usually walk and relax. It's very comfortable to feel the autumn breeze here. The vast Caspian Sea has given Azerbaijan rich oil and gas resources. From the plane flying over the Caspian Sea, you can see many drilling rigs in the Caspian Sea. Azerbaijan is one of the birthplaces of the modern oil industry, and the world's first oil well is in Baku. Before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan and Russia were the only two member republics that did not need central financial subsidies. The local wealth is evident. Among the three countries in the South Caucasus, Azerbaijan's economic strength is also the best. The world's first oil well, Azerbaijan is the birthplace of the modern oil industry. This is a common sight in Baku, with densely populated residential areas on the seemingly sparse vegetation hillsides. The villas and small buildings on the top of the mountain are said to be built by local rich people. The abundant funds brought by oil and gas resources not only helped Azerbaijan gain the upper hand in the recent Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but also made the capital Baku a very modern city, known as the 'Little Dubai of the Caucasus'. Walking in the central city area of Baku by the Caspian Sea, it feels like strolling on the streets of Europe. There are many luxury stores and cafes with crowds of people, and there are also many luxury cars on the streets, which are very lively.

Heydar Aliyev Centre

Architecture and urban planning in Baku reflect the legacy of the Soviet Union, which Azerbaijan belonged to until 1991. Since independence, the country’s government has invested in modernizing the city’s infrastructures. The new Heydar Aliyev Center is part and parcel of this urban renewal and aspires to become the main impulse of cultural programs in the region at large. With its dominant undulating forms, the design of the building breaks with the rigid and monumental Soviet architecture typical of Azerbaijan’s capital, to draw inspiration from aspects of Azeri culture, such as, for example, the geometry of its calligraphy. It thus has a succession of curves sending a message of optimism and progress to a nation steep in the process of development. With the intention of creating a fluid space in the entire project, a square takes in the building to stretch on and become a spacious public foyer, which, in turn, welcomes visitors and spreads them out within the over 100,000 square meters of the program dominated by an auditorium and a museum. Digital tools were used to materialize the complex volumetric scheme, making it possible not only to systematize manufacturing processes but also to monitor the whole evolution of the work. Outstanding, too, is the lighting, which at nightfall makes the building all the more spectacular, emphasizing the continuity between exterior and interior. #architecture #baku #world #travelinspiration #staycation

Future image Heydar Aliyev Center, Baku

#fallingseason The Heydar Aliyev Center is one of the most famous buildings designed by the celebrated Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid. Located in Baku, Azerbaijan, it was completed in 2012 and was acclaimed for its distinctive flowing lines and lack of sharp angles. Zaha Hadid Architects was awarded the commission following a competition in 2007.

Don't miss the restaurant with a great atmosphere at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Baku, Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan is a country known for its oil - although it's not as rich as the Middle Eastern oil countries, the prosperity of the capital Baku on the Caspian Sea is no less than Dubai. Here you can see the largest mysterious inland sea in the world - the Caspian Sea. The vast coast is the romance and prosperity of the oil city, and the brilliance of the Flame Towers reflects the sea. Moreover, Beijing has already opened direct flights to Baku, and visa on arrival is very convenient! On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the first trip of the Year of the Dragon was started in Azerbaijan. The second hotel I stayed in Baku was the Ritz-Carlton. This Ritz-Carlton opened in 2022. Compared with many old Ritz-Carlton properties, this one has very new hardware configurations, and the Ritz brand has also been fully replaced with top-tier Diptyque bath products. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Baku - the balcony of the suite I stayed in faces the Heydar Aliyev Center designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, with a great view! The atmosphere of the hotel's Tribeca Restaurant is superb - don't miss enjoying a romantic dinner at the Ritz-Carlton. After dinner, you can also go for a walk near the old city of Baku - feel the charming night of the 'Little Paris of the Caucasus'.

The Ritz-Carlton Baku - an excellent location, with a balcony facing the famous Aliyev Cultural Center

Azerbaijan is a country known for its oil - although it is not as rich as the Middle Eastern oil countries, the prosperity of Baku, the capital on the coast of the Caspian Sea, is no less than that of Dubai. Here you can see the largest mysterious inland sea in the world - the Caspian Sea. The vast coast is the romance and prosperity of the oil city, and the brilliance of the Flame Tower reflects the sea. Moreover, Beijing has already opened a direct flight to Baku, and the visa on arrival is very convenient! On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I started my first trip of the Dragon Year in Azerbaijan. The second hotel I stayed in Baku was the Ritz-Carlton. This Ritz-Carlton opened in 2022. Compared with many old Ritz-Carlton properties, this one has all new hardware configurations, and the Ritz brand has also been fully upgraded to the top Diptyque bath products. The Ritz-Carlton Baku - the balcony of the suite I stayed in faces the Heydar Aliyev Center designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, with a first-class view! Because it was the Spring Festival, the hotel was very considerate - and even prepared a surprise for the Spring Festival! The red velvet cake with the dragon year pattern is great, the upside-down 'fu' character is written wrong, it is written as 'fu', but the meaning is equally beautiful!

Fire Mountain of Azerbaijan

THE FIRE MOUNTAIN - YANAR DAG. ETERNAL FLAMES BURN ENDLESSLY FROM THE NATURAL GAS SEEPING OUT FROM THE GROUND. AT ONE TIME IT PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN THE ANCIENT ZOROASTRIAN RELIGION. Azerbaijan, a country with ancient and rich history located on the crossroads of the East and West and often called the Land of Fire, is attractive for tourists due to its unique places, resources and traditions. Yanar Dag or the Fire Mountain is one of the magically attractive sites, which surprises and enchants visitors. It seems like a brilliant sparkling on the mountain surface. People have always regarded the magnificent view of Yanar Dag as something "sacred". I wish to travel to Brazil South America and explore the amazing country and also visit the Amazon jungle. #2024wish
