It takes only 4 hours to drive from Fez Old Town to Shefsha Bay, and the scenery along the way is mostly mountainous. Seen from mobile navigation, when approaching the destination, the car happened to be at the corner of the mountainside. Looking out of the window, the distant town is shining with dazzling blue and white in the midday sun. This is my dream of Shevchenko.
The ancient town of Chev Shawan is built on the mountain, so cars are not allowed to enter. If the hotel you booked is in the old city, you can only park your car in the parking lot outside the old city and then take your luggage into the city. This famous tourist ancient city almost satisfies most people's fantasy of fairy tale world, because there are not only blue fresh air full of dreams, but also countless winding streets and lanes. In addition, this 500-year-old city has a distinctive personality. You must accept its personality unconditionally to fall in love with it, otherwise you can't stay for a day!
When we visited the streets and alleys of Shep Shawan, we were prepared that most local people would not cooperate with taking pictures, so before we want to take pictures of local people, we must politely ask them if they agree. But as netizens said, the locals are very resistant to taking pictures, and my chances of being rejected are over 90%! What's more, I hung the camera on my chest before I raised it. Some ten-year-old children ran over and pointed at the camera and said, "No! Don't! No! " Out of respect, I put the SLR in my backpack and patted Xiaojing and this street with only a small card machine.
In the past, there was a saying on the Internet that most of the residents living in the old town of Shave Shawan are Berbers, and they are very sensitive to taking pictures, especially when tourists take pictures of them, which will bring adverse effects to themselves, especially to women and children. But if the other person is not a Berber, he will be much more enlightened. So here, we shoot more local people's backs. Choose a street view angle, look around, wait for someone to pass by me, and turn your back on me before lifting the camera.
When we first entered the town of Chev Shawan, we followed the map to find the hotel we booked. Unexpectedly, the hotel was not in the location marked on the map, which made me panic and look around anxiously. At this moment, a young local boy stopped when he passed me and asked me what I was looking for. I said the name of the hotel, and he gave me a "Ula Ula" speech. I only understood the sentence "I have to go on for a while". To tell the truth, it is difficult for us to understand what he said in the face of this winding alley. He also saw my doubts and blurted out-"Come with me".
Follow him up the steps for five minutes along the road under his feet, and finally reach the hotel he is looking for. It turns out that this hotel is in the peak area. I subconsciously took out my change to express my thanks, but he waved me down. He said that he sold blankets at the intersection where I met and welcomed me to visit. Although we didn't buy anything in his shop later, he still enthusiastically introduced the good restaurants and scenic spots around him. His kindness also makes us less uneasy and suspicious about shopping in the old town of Chevy Shawan. I even thought that the merchants in the old city were as kind and helpful as this little brother.
After bidding farewell to my little brother, we also relaxed our vigilance and walked into the criss-crossing streets of the old city of Medina in Chev Bay. It's like another world, like an addictive shopping paradise that will empty your wallet. The copper plates, shawls and jewels in front of the store exude attractive light, hand-woven tapestries, handbags and rich spices fill your sensory nerves, and beautiful Moroccan slippers and bottles and cans of various colors fill tables and shelves.
On the recommendation of the blanket shop brother, I walked out of the old city and found an Italian restaurant on the corner. The store is not big, and there are two girls who are particularly outstanding in figure and appearance. We decided to solve the problem of dining here for the next two days, because we can not only eat delicious pizza and pasta, but also see beautiful women, which really makes us have a special liking for this small shop. After enjoying the delicious food, we walked to the opposite mountain.
There is a mosque on the Shafu Shawan Mountain, which is said to be the best position overlooking the whole town. With the arrival of the night, all the tourists around left, and only we were waiting for the night view of Chev Shawan. The breeze is blowing with coolness, and now I feel a little happy, listening to the barking of dogs from time to time, guarding this blue town and the fiery sunset.
