Upon arrival in Istanbul, we took a cruise boat tour of the Bosporus Strait. Bosporus Strait is not only a strategic destination of Turkey, but also a tourist attraction in downtown Istanbul. Its two sides are the flourishing area of this beautiful city across Europe and Asia, so it is also the geographical boundary of Eurasia. The guide told us that the whole Strait is 30.4 kilometers long, 2.4 kilometers wide, 708 meters narrowest, 80 meters deepest and 27.5 meters shallowest. It connects the Black Sea to the north, the Marmara Sea to the South and the Mediterranean Sea to the north. While waiting for the boat at the dock, we could clearly see the magnificent bridge connecting Eurasia across the Strait in the distance. The sea-crossing bridge, also known as the Bosporus Strait Bridge, was built in 1968. It was built in the narrowest part of the Bosporus Strait and was officially opened to traffic in October 1973. Cruise ships pass smoothly through the Eurasian Bridge, which is the largest cable suspension bridge in Eurasia and the fourth largest suspension bridge in the world. Turning further into a bay, we can see the Eurasian Second Bridge. Looking from a distance, the bridge sitting on the sea is like a giant dragon lying across. This is the second Strait Bridge in the Bosporus Strait. Built on December 4, 1985, it is jointly constructed by the Turkish government, Japan and Italy, and is located about 5 kilometers north of the first bridge. The total length of the bridge is 1510 meters, 17 meters longer than the first bridge, and it is the sixth largest suspension bridge in the world. A few days later, after the tour of the new palace, we took a bus across the Bosporus Strait to visit the Asian city of Istanbul. The car crossed the Eurasian Bridge and reached the top of a hill in Istanbul's Asian urban area. Many kinds of tulips are blooming in the Peak Park. They are very colorful and gorgeous. Many local residents take a vacation here. Standing at the top of the hill, you can see the Bosporus Strait and two Eurasian Bridges. The European city opposite Istanbul is vividly visible, while the Asian city of Istanbul is at your feet. The scenery here is indeed infinite and beautiful.

    The Bosporus Strait, which divides Istanbul in two, is also known as the Strait of Istanbul. It connects the Black Sea in the north to the Marmara and Mediterranean Sea in the south, splitting Turkey into a European side and an Asian side. Both sides are famous historical districts in Istanbul.

    The Bosphorus Strait can take a cruise around, there is a car to pick up the hotel, the ship provides free biscuits and tea, the ship will be in English, Russian (there are many Turkish Russian tourists), Turkish broadcast on both sides of the attractions introduction, in the downstairs cabin can be heard clearly, other places can not hear clearly. After the cruise ship docked on the Asian side, all tourists disembarked, gathered around and then boarded the ship back to the European side. The return journey of the ship was very fast, about 15m away, and then the car was returned to the hotel.

    The Bosphorus Strait is a narrow natural strait and is an important international waterway in northwest Turkey. It is part of the border between Asia and continental Europe and is the narrowest strait in the world for international navigation. The Bosphorus Strait connects the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea.

    土耳其的博斯普鲁斯海峡是用于国际航行的世界上最狭窄的海峡,是欧亚洲之间的边界一部分。 博斯普鲁斯海峡从伊斯坦布尔城市中穿过,所以海峡穿行着各种船只,从大油轮到小渔船,捕鱼的小船非常多。
