Chapter 1003 Honeymoon Trip
The first stop of Yang Jing and Gege's global trip is Siem Reap, Cambodia, where it has the largest group of temples in the world, and Angkor Wat, known as the Khmer national treasure.
Neither Princess nor Yang Jing had been to Angkor Wat, but Yang Jing had many treasures from the Angkor Dynasty, which were found in a treasure he and Princess found during the treasure hunt in the Philippines.
Back then, the Japanese were crazily plundering local wealth in Southeast Asia, including many Khmer treasures. However, these treasures were not available for transportation and were eventually discovered by Yang Jing more than 70 years later.
Yang Jing naturally did not buy any real estate in Siem Reap, but there is a Hyatt Regency Siem Reap Park Hotel, which is of good quality, so Yang Jing and his group stayed in that hotel.
Angkor Wat can be regarded as a national treasure by a country or a UNESCO world cultural heritage. Its mystery and depth naturally need not be described.
Yang Jing and Princess stayed at this Angkor monument for two days, then flew directly to Yangon, Myanmar, where the two of them admired the famous Grand King Pagoda and headed straight to New Delhi, India.
Neither Princess nor Yang Jing have any good impression of India. However, there is really a very good attraction worth seeing in India, that is, the world-famous Taj Mahal.
The Taj Mahal is located in the ancient capital of Agra, about 200 kilometers southeast of New Delhi, and is connected to Madrid by the Taj Expressway.
In fact, if Princess Fifty hadn't come to see this building that carries too many life and death love, Yang Jing wouldn't have regarded it as the third stop of his honeymoon trip. There is no way, Princess, who just got married, likes things about love so much...
Agra, where the Taj Mahal is located, is an important city in Uttar Pradesh, India. It was once the capital of the Mughal Empire twice. It is said that this place should be a very good city, but along the way, the only impression that Yang Jing and Princess left on the road is that it is dirty and messy.
There is no way, Uttar Pradesh has too many populations. In this area with an area of only 240,000 square kilometers, there are as many as 240,000 square kilometers, which is definitely an extremely terrifying number. Of course, Uttar Pradesh is also the provincial unit with the largest population in the world.
In comparison, although the population of Guangdong Province, which has the largest population in China, has just exceeded 100 million, Guangdong Province has an area of 180,000 square kilometers. However, Guizhou Province in China is about the same area as Uttar Pradesh, but how many people in Guizhou Province are only 46 million, which is a little more than the fraction of the population of Uttar Pradesh...
With India's economy, you can imagine what this province with a population of 240 million will look like.
Fortunately, the Taj Mahal is still clean. After all, it is a cultural relics and monuments that are key protected in India, and the situation inside is really good.
But the residential areas outside the Taj Mahal Gate are nothing more than talking about.
Therefore, the impression that Yang Jing left on this Taj Mahal trip was not good. The strange and dirty things were really beyond Yang Jing's imagination...
Fortunately, the couple will go to the Maldives where they were taking photos at the next stop. The blue sky, blue and clean sea water and white beaches will repair the trauma that Yang Jing suffered in this country.
The couple felt a little tired after three stops in a row, so they discussed it and simply stayed in the Maldives for two days to rest. One reason was that they were busy rushing to take wedding photos last time and did not have a good time in the Maldives. Another thing was that Yang Jing owned a private island in the Maldives, with a vacation villa and a yacht marina built on the island, so the couple and other team members could play in the island.
The island is about 150 kilometers straight from Male, the capital of Maldives. It is an island on the eastern edge of the Maldives Islands. The island is called Finns Fukushima, and it is a very small island.
The island is crescent-shaped, with the longest distance between north and south only only 300 meters, and the widest place between east and west only 200 meters, with a total area of only about 60,000 square meters.
However, the atoll where this island is located is excellent. Because it has not had a large-scale development, the island is only five-star in the local island rating, and is still far from the highest seven-star island.
However, this is a private island, and it is all about Yang Jing's mood. This island was bought by Tom Niz for Yang Jing in 1995, and it only cost more than one million US dollars at that time. The economic situation of the Maldives in the last century was far inferior to that of now, and the reputation of tourism has not been opened, so the private island there is very cheap. It was at that time that Tom Niz bought this island.
However, after buying this island, it has never done any development except for building two luxurious vacation villas and a yacht marina on it. There is a dedicated person from Meifang Group to manage the island.
To be honest, since he bought this island, Yang Jing has never been there except for the last time he took wedding photos. Even when he turned into Cole Smith, he had never been to this island for vacation.
Because it is a private island, the island still maintains a very primitive scenery. Unlike the so-called seven-star islands, which are full of traces of artificial development.
In fact, when you come to such a place for vacation, you are just a close to nature. Otherwise, why do you come here from a long distance? Is the scenery of the Great Barrier Reef in Hawaii not better than here?
Therefore, except for the three artificial buildings, there are almost no modern artificial buildings. There are usually four people on the island to take care of it. This time, Yang Jing is going to stay here for a few days, and the servants in charge have already received a notice. So, after the yacht Yang Jing and his friends are on docked at the dock, the four servants gathered on the dock to welcome the boss' arrival.
These four servants are all locals, to be precise, they are all employees of IHG. Less than three kilometers southeast of Finns Fukushima, is a private island managed by IHG. IHG not only owns several islands that specialize in building high-end vacation villas and hotels in the Maldives, but also manages the private islands of these rich people for many rich people.
Feiyang Group managed by Michael Burco owns a lot of shares in the InterContinental Hotel Group, so after Tom Niz bought the island for Yang Jing, he entrusted it to the InterContinental Hotel Group for management.
Although the area of Finnish Fukushima is not large and cannot be compared with those islands that are often several square kilometers, this island is better than the original ecology. Moreover, around Finnish Fukushima, there is also a circle of coral reefs that have not yet been exposed to the sea level, making this a great area for diving.
The two vacation villas on Finns Fukushima are enough for Yang Jing and his team to live in. Even if they can't, sleeping on the beach in a low-latitude country like the Maldives is actually a very good choice.
The blue sea water and clean air made Princess and Yang Jing completely fall in love with it. They simply lived here for three nights before embarking on the journey to continue.
The destination of the next stop is Jordan, or to be precise, the ancient city of Petra, known as the "Last Paradise Lost".
The ancient city of Petra is located 262 kilometers south of Amman, the capital of Jordan, between the Musa Valley surrounded by mountains. It is not only a witness to the ancient Jordanian civilization, but also a wonder of the Middle East and a treasure in the history of human architecture. It has the reputation of "relief gems embedded in rock walls".
Like the Taj Mahal I have visited before, the ancient city of Petra is also known as "one of the Seven Wonders of the New World".
Boeing bbj3 landed safely at Queen Aliya Airport, about 20 kilometers south of Amman. After leaving the airport, the convoy that had already made reservations in advance was waiting for Yang Jing and his group at the door.
Most of the more than 50 top-level properties that Yang Jing owns around the world are left to the InterContinental Hotel Group for management, so this time Yang Jing took Princess on her honeymoon. Before she arrived at a place, she would notify the local InterContinental Hotel and then pick it up and drop it off by local InterContinental Hotel licensed vehicles or helicopters.
This time, because both Princess and Yang Jing wanted to experience the style of the Middle East Desert, InterContinental Hotel Group sold six Mercedes-Benz Gs.
Because it was still early and Yang Jing and Gege were resting enough on the plane, after leaving the airport, Morris and the others took over the six cars. After getting on the bus, they headed straight to the south along Highway 15.
After turning on Highway 15 and driving south for less than a hundred kilometers, we arrived at the small town of Wadimusa. The ancient city of Petra is located in the Musa Valley, which is more than 1,000 meters above sea level to Wadimusa.
Petra means "stone" in Greek. Because this ancient city is almost all carved from rocks, it is called "stone city"; because the base color of the surrounding rocks is pink, people also call it "Rose City". The ancient city was successively ruled by the Roman, Byzantine and *** Empires, so it has also left behind architectural relics of various styles.
This was once the capital of the Kingdom of Nabatai. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack, rich water sources, and was located in the East-West trade channel and was very strong. From Wadimusa to enter the Musa Valley where the ancient city of Petra is located, there are two roads to walk, one is to drive around the north, and the other is to hike and climb the mountains.
Yang Jing and Gege did not choose to drive around, but chose to hike and climb the mountain. Therefore, they needed to climb a mountain west of Wadimusa. The road up the mountain was very steep, with caves on one side and colorful stones on one side. On the other side, the river valley was towering with colorful stones and wild flowers were pink. Looking up, the five-colored steps were continuously spreading towards the blue sky, just like the mythical rainbow road.
After climbing this mountain, you will see the famous Musa Valley. The ancient city of Petra is located in this valley, but now it has become a ruin. Since you have come here, you must go and take a look at the largest stone sculpture building in Petra.
