Photos taken by Turkish female photographer Rengim Mutevellioglu and the book Istanbul, written by Turkish Nobel Literature Prize-winning author Ferit Orhan Pamuk, inspired me to explore Istanbul.
土耳其女攝影師Rengim Mutevellioglu的作品，還有土耳其諾貝爾文學獎得主費利特攠爾罕帕慕克的那本《伊斯坦布爾：一座城市的記憶》，都是我去伊斯坦布爾旅行的動力。
I expected it to be ancient like other cities in Europe. But it was more than that. Arriving at night, I passed the Sultan Ahmed Mosque. As expected, its walls were decorated with blue tiles. When I saw the giant blue glass windows and blue painted ceiling in the following trip, I was amazed by its colorful hues. Pious people sat in it, creating an intensely religious atmosphere. The whole city looked full of history. When I stood on the Galata Bridge, I saw the scattered houses and the blue straits weaving through the city. Everything was vibrant but still evoked a slight feeling of melancholy, just like Pamuk described in his book.
我原本以為那里會像其他歐洲城市一樣只是古色古香。但伊斯坦布爾不只如此。我夜晚抵達，路過了蘇丹艾哈邁德清真寺，那里的內壁果然由藍色瓷磚裝飾而成。隨后，我看到了巨大的藍色玻璃窗，也見到了漆成藍色的穹頂，那些絢麗的色彩令人嘆為觀止。虔誠的信徒們端坐其中，傳遞出濃厚的宗教氛圍。整座城市也充滿了歷史氣息。當我站在加拉塔大橋上時，只見房屋遍布整個城市，藍色的海峽從城中穿過。正如帕慕克在他的書中所寫，一切都充滿活力，卻又帶著一絲淡淡的憂郁。
Best season: spring and autumn
最佳旅行時間：春季和秋季
