Knowing it was a coincidence to see old pictures from several photography magazines, there was hardly any guide or introduction to it on the Internet. Contacted the local hotel, confirmed the local security issues, could not suppress the inner yearning, turned several trains, finally arrived at the old city on the Turkish border, Syria edge. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city and tourist areas, the night here is particularly quiet. From the balcony, you can see the stars and lights from the old house and the distant Syrian border. ～. 🏛 The city is full of especially kind old men and old ladies left behind children. Because young people have gone to big cities, they rarely see Asians, and they are all enthusiastic to take pictures of me. 🏛 The whole city is an old building, extremely beautiful, definitely the kind of beauty you can't see anywhere that has been baptized by time (one hundred times more beautiful than the camera and a hundred times shocked). ⚠️ But because there are few tourists at the international border, everyone still has to pay attention to safety. Go with you! Reduce travel at night! ps: It is very hot in summer, I recommend everyone to go in autumn or winter. 📷 Photograph: I recommend everyone to bring an aerial photography! This city's aerial photography is super amazing! 🚘 Transportation: The fastest way is to fly directly from Istanbul Airport (IST) to Mardin Airport (MQM), and then take a taxi to the old town. 📍 Address: ehidiye Mah. 39.
