From Caucasus travel expert JT Travel:

The National Day holiday is slowly approaching, and many people have already prepared National Day travel plans in advance.

But on National Day, many popular attractions at home and abroad, whether in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Europe, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, will be crowded with tourists.

We urgently need a new pure land for travel, preferably one with rich humanities and history;

Rich tourism resources: there are alpine ski trails that are as good as the Alps.

There are meadows with cattle and sheep comparable to New Zealand,

There are green lakes like Sailimu in Xinjiang,

There are unique natural hot springs for recuperation,

The people must be friendly enough, and there shouldn’t be too many tourists.

Is there really such a magical destination?

Yes, its name is: The Three Transcaucasian Kingdoms.

The Caucasus region is divided by the Greater and Lesser Caucasus Mountains, and the region is divided into two parts: the South Caucasus and the North Caucasus. The South Caucasus, also known as Transcaucasus, covers an area of ??approximately 185,000 square kilometers and includes the three countries of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.

Perhaps, most people cannot find Transcaucasus on the map, and the names of these three countries are also unfamiliar to us, but it is a cost-effective niche tourist destination and an unknown tourist paradise. , a mysterious pure land among world tourist destinations.

The Caucasus, as seen from the map, is full of protruding and rolling mountains, covered with white snow all year round; the depressions touched by your fingers are blue lakes, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Tbilisi Sea; there are also dotted Forest meadows, waterfalls and springs hidden deep in the dense forest...

Pushkin once praised this place with the most beautiful poem:

Dark clouds flowed submissively under my feet, and through the dark clouds, I heard the noisy waterfall, and the majestic naked mountains stood up under the clouds. Below were dry moss and shrubs. Looking down further, I saw the shadow of the trees, the birds were chirping, and the deer were galloping... …

The locals live in such a fairyland, simple and enthusiastic. Surveys also show that the three Transcaucasian countries are very safe.

For such a niche country, getting a visa is quite troublesome, right?

No,

all three countries support electronic visas, and the visa materials are very simple.

In terms of flights, most cities in China, such as:

Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Urumqi, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Shenyang, Wuhan, etc., have flights There are direct flights to the three Transcaucasian countries, including Beijing and Urumqi.

And most cities in China such as:

Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Urumqi, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Shenyang, Wuhan, etc.

There are flights to the three Transcaucasian countries, and there are direct flights to Beijing and Urumqi.

There are few people, beautiful scenery, and convenient travel visas. Are you already a little excited?

Archaeologists discovered prehistoric human skulls in Georgia, and the history can be traced back to 1700 Thousands of years ago. Relics recently unearthed in Dmanisi indicate that the site is older than the hominid remains found in Africa (17.5 million years ago). The long history brings rich and colorful cultural and historical heritage here.

These are only part of the world cultural heritage of Transcaucasia.

You can also go upstairs along the stone stairs at the Karavansaray Hotel in Sheki, and in the vaulted room, Breathing in the cool breeze, watching the white window curtains flutter...experience the Silk Road merchants' stop thousands of years ago.

In Transcaucasus, you can see religious buildings almost everywhere.

After all, Azerbaijan is the birthplace of Zoroastrianism in "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon" and is now the most secular Islamic country in the world.

Georgia officially became a Christian country in 337 AD. As one of the oldest Christian countries in the world, Georgia also preserves the holy relic - the Holy Robe of Christ.

In 301 AD, Armenia adopted Christianity as its state religion and became the first Christian country in history, which directly enhanced the status of Christianity in the Roman Empire. Noah's Ark in the Bible docked at Mount Ararat, the holy mountain in Armenia.

Religious culture has such a long history, it naturally retains many world-class religious temples:

Etchmiadzin Cathedral is one of the oldest Christian churches in the world.

The Pillar of Life Cathedral is one of the holiest and most magnificent churches in Georgia. It is said that Jesus’ cloak is stored in the church.

There is also Kazbek Trinity Cathedral, known as the church closest to heaven.

If you feel that religion is a bit serious, Transcaucasia also has leisurely and even exciting travel options for you:

You can relax in the spa center in Borjomi, or Experience the sulfur baths in Tbilisi. French writer Alexandre Dumas and Russian poet Pushkin both took hot spring baths here and admired them.

In Naftaland, you can also experience the world's unique oil bath. The oil here cannot be burned and cannot be used in industry, but it can kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and treat arthritis, rheumatism, allergies, muscle damage and other diseases.

Take a relaxing walking tour in Ushuguli, the highest village in Europe.

Or experience exciting high-altitude paragliding in Gudaoli, overlooking the scenery of Kazbek Snow Mountain.

If you have a special liking for food and wine, come to Georgia, the birthplace of wine in the world, where winemaking began more than 8,000 years ago. The long history of Georgian grape growing and winemaking is recorded in the works of Homer and Apollonius.

In Armenia, you can also drink brandy that pleased both Churchill and Stalin, and eat roasted lamb that tastes as good as Xinjiang.

It has the most unique scenery, long and deep mountains, historic monuments, rich and delicious food, and kind and hospitable people... Just like the complex terrain and environment of Transcaucasus, the customs of Transcaucasus cannot be used. A few words can fully express that the real Transcaucasus needs to be experienced personally...

With few people, beautiful scenery, and good people, the three Transcaucasian countries (Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia) are indeed worth a visit~
