Turkey at Crossroads

At The Crossroads  十字路口上

Turkey’s unique position, geographically and historically, has turned it into one of the most fascinating, enlightening and relevant countries to visit

獨特的位置,地理和歷史已經把土耳其轉變成其中一個最迷人,富有啟發性和有作為的國家,很值得拜訪

Thanks to Turkey’s location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, the region’s significant geostrategic importance has resulted in a country of fascinating history and heritage, life and culture. On the back of a history of a 10,000 year-old civilization, and a tumultuous political and religious past, modern Turkey is a democratic and secular constitutional republic, well integrated with the West but fiercely loyal to its Asian roots, and very much relevant today as it was in ancient times.

土耳其位於歐洲和亞洲大陸交接的十字路口上面,這個區域的重要地緣意義產生了這個令人著迷的歷史與古蹟,生活方式與文化,都在土耳其境內。土耳其有一萬年文明的底蘊,加上過去的政教動亂,今天的土耳其已經是一個民主和獨立的憲政共和國,融入西方世界卻又強烈忠於亞洲人的根,在今天或者古時候都一樣實用。

 

Cultural Capital  文化之都

At 550 years old, Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar is one of the oldest covered markets in the world. “Remember, the Carsikapi Gate”, our guide Can (pronounced Jaan) reiterated before our group split up to explore the market. We were supposed to meet at that specific gate after two hours of shopping. Some members of the group were lost for an hour the day earlier when we visited the much smaller Spice Bazaar and he just wanted to make sure it did not happen again. However, the maze-like Grand Bazaar is made up of more than 58 covered streets and over 4,000 shops selling mostly identical goods such as jewellery, lanterns, pottery, incense, carpets, leather products and Turkish delights, it is almost impossible not to get lost in it. If you are not unconsciously walking around in circles, you will be caught up in the dynamic array of sights, sounds and smells that make up a microcosm of Turkish culture. Thankfully, friendly shop owners, who are more than happy to share with you their way of life and who always seem to have a cup of apple tea at hand, make navigating the Grand Bazaar delightful more than daunting.

有550年歷史的伊斯坦布大市場是世界上最古老的有蓋市場,我們的導遊Can(唸成展)在團員們分散去探索這個市場之前一再提醒:“別忘記Carsikapi Gate-卡西卡比門”。我們必須在兩小時之後到某一個門集合,昨天還有團員在拜訪一個比較小的香料市場時迷路一個小時,因此導遊要確保這樣的事不再發生。不過,這個迷宮似的大市場裡有58條有蓋的街道和超過四千家商店,賣的都是大同小異的貨物如珠寶首飾,燈具,陶器,香枝,地毯,皮革製品和土耳其美食,要在裡面不迷路幾乎是不可能的事。如果你不是糊里糊塗地在裡面兜圈子,你就會被充滿活力的聲,光,味包圍,處在微型的土耳其文化中。好在店主們都很友善,都很樂意跟遊客分享他們的生活方式,而且似乎都習慣捧著一杯蘋果茶在手上,使人在這個大市場中導航時覺得輕鬆愉快而不是擔心會迷路。

Previously known as Constantinople, capital of Eastern Roman Empire, then capital of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul has always been a hotbed of cultural diversity. In its heyday, this grand dame of a city that straddles the continents of Europe and Asia, drew traders from all across the globe. Today, as Turkey’s cultural capital, Istanbul proudly flaunts the country’s rich and colourful history through its streets, markets, churches, mosques and palaces.

伊斯坦布的古名是Constantinople-君士坦丁堡,是東羅馬帝國的首都,之後才是Ottoman Empire-奧斯曼帝國的首都,一直都是多元文化的溫床。在全盛時期,這座橫跨歐亞大陸的大城市吸引了來自全世界的貿易商。今天的伊斯坦布也是土耳其的文化之都,自豪地通過自己的街道,市場,教堂,清真寺和宮殿來炫耀這個國家豐富又多姿多彩的歷史。

Originally constructed as a church in 532-537 AD by orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, Aya Sofia was—and still is—considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. When the Ottoman Turks took over the city, Aya Sofia was converted into a mosque under the instructions of Sultan Mehmed II. The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed and many of the mosaics were plastered over. Islamic features such as the four minarets were added. Now as a museum, it is a place for all. Though no longer a site of worship, Aya Sofia still evokes a sacred reverence. Turkish families and tourists alike stand in awe of the massive gold mosaic dome, its vastness highlighted by the streams of sunlight piercing through the stained glass windows. In respectful hushed tone, they wander about admiring the mosaics that have been successfully uncovered and restored.

Aya Sofia-阿亞蘇菲亞這棟建築原本是Byzantine-拜佔庭皇帝下令在公元532-537年建造的教堂,至今還是拜佔庭時代的建築表率。在奧斯曼族的土耳其人接管這座城市之後,Aya Sofia-阿亞蘇菲亞也在Mehmed II-莫哈默德二世蘇丹王的指示之下改裝成清真寺。那些鐘,神壇,聖像和祭祀用具都被移走,許多馬賽克石磚也被石灰泥鋪蓋,再添加伊斯蘭教的象徵物如四支尖塔,如今已經成為一座博物院,Aya Sofia-阿亞蘇菲亞仍舊散發出讓人尊重的神聖氣勢。土耳其人的家庭和遊客都會在這座鋪滿黃金馬賽克石磚的大型圓頂前瞠目結舌地看著陽光穿過彩色玻璃窗照耀出它的龐大結構,他們都會用尊敬的態度竊竊私語地談論和讚賞那些成功被修復的馬賽克石磚。

To rival Aya Sofia, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque was built, from 1609 to 1616, just adjacent to the former. The mosque incorporates some Byzantine elements of the neighbouring Aya Sofia with traditional Islamic architecture; its interior is adorned with the famous blue Iznik tiles, earning it the moniker, Blue Mosque.

為了跟阿亞蘇菲亞比試,在1609-1616年間在它旁邊建了另一座Ahmed Sultan-阿曼蘇丹寺。這座清真寺結合了拜佔庭時代的建築元素和阿亞蘇菲亞的傳統伊斯蘭建築形式,內部鋪上著名的藍色Iznik-伊茲尼克藍瓷磚,因此也贏得了藍色清真寺的綽號。

Another example of magnificent architecture, the grandiose Topkapi Palace was the primary residence and venue for state occasions and royal entertainment of the Ottoman Sultans before they started favouring the newer palaces along the Bosphorus. The complex palace compound consists of four courtyards, housing dormitories, kitchens, baths and mosques; as well as the impressive Harem, its 400 rooms were where the Sultan’s extended family took residence.

另一個宏偉的建築例子是Topkapi Palace-托卡比宮殿,是奧斯曼蘇丹王在還沒搬到比較喜歡的Bosphorus-博斯普魯斯海峽上的新宮殿以前用來舉辦國家慶典,皇家娛樂和住宿的地方。這個深宮大院一共有四個院落,裡面有員工宿舍,廚房,浴室和清真寺,以及令人印象深刻的后宮,有四百個房間,住了蘇丹王的家庭成員。

Mystical Israel

May 9, 2012 1 comment

Mystical Israel  神秘的以色列

Israel’s unique geography and religious relevance promise a memorable and rewarding trip.

以色列的獨特地理位置和宗教的關係可以讓遊人難忘,不虛此行。

Religious tourism is evidently prominent in this country, as Israel comprises a large part of the Holy Land, a region of significant importance to all Abrahamic religion—Jews, Christians, Muslims and Baha’is. As the city of Jerusalem is of special importance to these religions, it attracts millions of visitors and devotees to perform a pilgrimage to this city. Let Diners World Travel takes you into the stunning world of Israel, where history and culture meets natural phenomenon and inspiring stories.

宗教旅遊在這個國家隨處可見,因為以色列有一大片的聖地,對亞伯拉罕宗教系的信徒如猶太人,基督徒,回教徒和巴哈伊(大同教)教徒來說都有重要意義。由於耶路撒冷是這些宗教的重要聖城,就吸引了百千萬計的訪客和信徒來朝聖。讓Diners World Travel-大來世界旅遊帶你深入以色列這個令人驚嘆的世界,看看歷史與文化跟自然景觀和激勵人心的故事如何擦撞出火花。

 

Mount of Olives  橄欖山

This mountains ridge in East Jerusalem has three peaks that run from the north to the south. It is one of the key attractions as Mount of Olives is the burial ground for many of the Jews for over 3,000 years and is home to about 150,000 graves.

這個位於以色列東部的山脊有三個山峰,從北到南延伸,這是橄欖山的主要景點之一,因為這座山是三千多年來猶太人的墳場,共有15萬個墳墓。

 

Jerusalem The Old City  耶路撒冷老城區

Heavily fortified with a strong city wall, the Old City is divided into four different quarters, namely Muslim quarters, Christian quarters, Jewish quarters and Armenian quarters. Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old City features many interesting sites, which one of it is the Jewish quarter that possesses a long and rich history, as can be seen through its exquisite architecture and artefacts. Don’t miss out the Crusader Church of St Anne, and the Pool of Bethesda, as well as the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where Jesus was crucified.

這座老城被堅固的城牆圍起來,裡面分成四個住宅區,分別是回教徒社區,基督徒社區和亞美尼亞人社區,已經成為聯合國教科文組織承認的世界遺產。老城區裡有許多有趣的地點,其中一個是歷史悠久遺產豐富的猶太人社區,可以從精美的建築和文物看出來。別錯過聖安妮的十字軍教堂,畢士大水池,還有耶穌被釘在十字架上的聖幕教堂。

 

Jerusalem The New City  耶路撒冷新城區

Within the New City stands an interesting architecture, the Israel Museum, the largest cultural institutions in the State of Israel and ranked among the world’s leading art and archaeology museums. It is home to archaeology, fine arts, Jewish Art and Life Wings, and also features the most extensive holdings of biblical and Holy Land archaeology in the world. The highlight of the museum includes Shrine of the Book, which houses the Dead Sea Scrolls, the world’s oldest biblical manuscripts.

新城區裡有一座有趣的建築叫以色列博物館,是以色列國內最大的文化機構,在全世界著名的藝術與考古博物館中赫赫有名。這裡是考古學和美術作品的家,猶太人藝術和生命的展示廳也收藏了全世界最多的聖經文獻和聖地的文物,鎮館之寶包括書的神壇,裡面藏了死海古卷這份世界上最古老的聖經手稿。

 

Masada  馬薩達

A rugged natural fortress overlooking the Dead Sea, Masada is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and also an archaeology site of significant importance. The Masada complex, built by Herod the Great, King of Judaea, is an example of opulent architectural design, and boasts a sophisticated water system of that time. Also famous for its ancient palaces and fortifications, and the first Jewish-Roman war against the Roman Empire, Masada itself is like a massive museum. An excellent example would be the Palace of Herod the Great, a luxurious villa of the Early Roman Empire, whilst the camps and other fortifications that encircle the monument constitute the finest and most complete Roman siege works to have survived to the present day.

Masada-馬薩達這座天然要塞俯瞰死海,現在也是聯合國教科文組織確認的世界遺產地點,也是具有重要意義的考古現場。馬薩達建築群是猶太國王希律王所建,是個華麗建築設計的典範,當時就擁有傲人的複雜水利系統。另外,這個地方也因為古代宮殿和防禦工事而著名,參與了反抗羅馬帝國的第一次猶太人對羅馬人的戰役,因此馬薩達本身就是一個龐大的博物館。特出的古蹟就是希律王的宮殿,早期羅馬帝國的豪華別墅,裡面的營地和其他防禦工事環繞著整個遺址而建,保留了最完整最精緻的羅馬時代圍堵工事,至今不損。

 

Dead Sea  死海

Bordering Jordan, Israel and the West Bank, Dead Sea is Earth’s lowest elevation on land, and is also the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. Containing the world’s saltiest body of water, few animals are able to survive in the Dead Sea, but one can still find camels, hares and foxes in the mountains nearby. Enjoy a mud bath, which is rich in minerals, or experience a swim in the Dead Sea, as many believe it to be therapeutic.

跟約旦,以色列和西岸接壤的死海是地球上海拔最低的土地,也是世界上最深的鹽湖。這個湖有全世界最咸的水,很少動物能在死海裡生存,但還是可以在附近的山區裡找到駱駝,野兔和狐狸。你可以在死海裡享受富有礦物質的泥浴,或者在死海裡游泳,很多人都相信有治病療效。
