The first stop of Yang Jing and Gege's round-the-world trip was Siem Reap, Cambodia, where the world's largest temple complex is Angkor Wat, known as the Khmer National Treasure.Neither Gege nor Yang Jing had ever been to Angkor Wat, but Yang Jing had a lot of treasures from the Angkor Dynasty in his hands, which he and Gege found in a treasure they found while searching for treasure in the Philippines.Back then, the little devils frantically looted the local wealth in Southeast Asia, including many Khmer treasures, but these baby little devils did not have time to transport away, and were finally discovered by Yang Jing more than 70 years later.Yang Jing naturally didn't buy any real estate in Siem Reap, but there is a Hyatt Regency Siem Reap Park Hotel in Siem Reap, and the grade is not low, so Yang Jing and his party stayed in that hotel.Angkor Wat is a national treasure of a country, and it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its mystery and seclusion naturally need no more description.Yang Jing and Gege spent two days at the Angkor monument before flying straight to Yangon, Myanmar, where they admired the famous Shwedagon Pagoda before heading straight to New Delhi, India.For the country of India, neither Gege nor Yang Jing has a good impression, but 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 Highway.In fact, if Gege didn't want to take a look at this building that carries too much life and death, Yang Jing would not have regarded this place as the third stop of his honeymoon trip.No way, Gege, who just got married, is so fond of things about love, Agra, where the Taj Mahal is located, is an important city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, and was twice the capital of the Mughal Empire.It is said that this should be a very good city, but along the way, the only impression left on Yang Jing and Gege is that it is dirty and messy.No way, the population of Uttar Pradesh is so large, and there are as many as 2.4 billion inhabitants living in this area of only 240,000 square kilometers, which is definitely an extremely terrifying number.Of course, Uttar Pradesh is also the most populous provincial unit in the world.In contrast, Guangdong Province, the most populous province in China, has just exceeded 100 million square kilometers, but it also has an area of 180,000 square kilometers.And Gui Province in China is about the same size as Uttar Pradesh, but how many people are there in Gui Province?
With 46 million at just over a fraction of the population of Uttar Pradesh, plus India's economy, one can imagine what this crowded province of 2.4 billion people will look like.But fortunately, the inside of the Taj Mahal is quite clean, after all, it is a key cultural relics and monument in India, and the situation inside is really good.But the residential areas outside the gates of the Taj Mahal are simply not mentioned.Therefore, this trip to the Taj Mahal did not leave a good impression on Yang Jing, all kinds of strange and strange dirty messes are really a bit beyond Yang Jing's imagination, but fortunately, the next stop is that the young couple will go to the Maldives where they took pictures, where the blue sky and clear blue clean water and white sand beach will repair the wounds that Yang Jing suffered in this country.After three stops in a row, the little couple felt a little tired, so the two of them discussed and simply went to the Maldives to stay for two days and have a good rest.One is that the last time I took wedding photos, I was busy and didn't have a good time in the Maldives, and the other is that Yang Jing has a private island in the Maldives, and there are holiday villas and yacht marinas on the island, so the young couple and other team members can play on that island to their heart's content.Located about 150 kilometres from Malé, the capital of the Maldives, the island is an island on the eastern edge of the Maldives archipelago.The island, known locally as Finsford Island, is a very small island.The island is crescent-shaped, and the longest distance from north to south is only 300 meters, and the widest place from east to west is only 200 meters, with a total area of only about 60,000 square meters.However, the atolls where the island is located are very beautiful, and because there is no large-scale development, the island is only 5 stars in the local island rating, which is far from the highest 7-star island.However, this is a private island, and it is all in Yang Jing's mood to develop it or not.The island was bought by Tomnitz for Yang Jing in 1995 for just over a million dollars.The economy of the Maldives in the last century was far worse than it is now, and the fame of tourism did not open up, so private islands there were cheap.That's when Tomnitz bought the island.However, after the purchase of the island, apart from the construction of two luxury holiday villas and a yacht marina on it, there has been no development, and the island has been managed by the staff of the real estate group.To be honest, since he bought this island, Yang Jing really hasn't been here except for the last time he took wedding photos, even if he had never been to this island for vacation when he was Cole Smith before.Because it is a private island, the island still retains a very pristine scenery.Unlike those so-called seven-star islands, they are full of strong traces of artificial development.In fact, when you come to this kind of place for a vacation, you are playing close to nature, otherwise why do you come here all the way?
Isn't the scenery of Hawaii and the Great Barrier Reef better than here?
As a result, there are hardly any modern man-made structures left on the island, except for those three man-made buildings.There are usually four people in charge of taking care of the island, this time Yang Jing is going to stay here for a few days, and the servant in charge of taking care has already received a notice, so when Yang Jing and their yacht docked at the dock, the four servants all gathered on the dock to welcome the arrival of the boss.The four servants are all locals, to be exact, employees of the InterContinental Hotels Group.Less than three kilometres southeast of Finsford Island is a private island managed by InterContinental Hotels Group, which owns several islands in the Maldives that have been purpose-built for high-end holiday villas and hotels, as well as private islands for many wealthy individuals.Michael Bulko's Feiyang Group owns a lot of shares in the InterContinental Hotels Group, so after Tom Nitz bought the island for Yang Jing, he entrusted it to InterContinental Hotels Group to manage it on his behalf.Although the island is small and not comparable to those islands that are a few square kilometers at a time, the island is more pristine than the island, and there is a ring of coral reefs around the island that have not yet exposed the sea level, making it a great area for diving.And the two holiday villas on Finsford Island are enough for Yang Jing and his team of about 20 people to live, even if they can't live, in a low-latitude country like the Maldives, sleeping in a tent on the beach is actually a very good choice.The clear blue water and clean air made Gege and Yang Jing completely like this place, and they simply stayed here for three nights before embarking on the journey to move on.The next destination is Jordan, 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 testimony to the ancient civilization of Jordan, but also a wonder of the Middle East and a treasure in the history of human architecture, with the reputation of "relief gem embedded in the rock wall".Like the Taj Mahal that has been 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 Alia Airport, about 20 kilometers south of Amman, and after leaving the airport, the convoy that had been booked in advance was waiting for Yang Jing and his party at the door.Most of the more than 50 top properties owned by Yang Jing in the world are managed by InterContinental Hotels Group, so this time Yang Jing took Gege for his honeymoon, and before arriving at each place, he would notify the local InterContinental Hotel, and then be picked up by the local InterContinental Hotel brand vehicle or helicopter.This time, because Gege and Yang Jing both wanted to experience the style of the Middle East desert, InterContinental Hotels Group auctioned six Mercedes-Benz big Gs.Because it was still early, and Yang Jing and Gege had enough rest on the plane, after leaving the airport, Morris and the others took over the six cars, and after the group got into the car, they went straight south along Highway 15.After turning from Highway 15 onto Highway 35 and driving south for less than 100 kilometers, you will come to the small town of Wadi Musa.The ancient city of Petra is located in the Musa valley at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters to the west of Wadi Musa.Petra is the Greek word for "stone", because this ancient city is almost entirely carved out of rock, so it is called "Stone City" and because of the pink color of the surrounding rocks, the world also calls it "Rose City".The ancient city was ruled by Rome, Byzantium, and the Empire, so it also left the remains of various styles of architecture.Once the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom, it was powerful because it was easy to defend, water-abundant, and was on the trade route between East and West.There are two ways to get from Wadi Musa to the valley of Musa, where the ancient city of Petra is located, one is to drive around from the north and the other is to hike up the hills.Yang Jing and Gege did not choose to drive around, but chose to hike over the mountain.So, they had to climb a mountain west of Wadi Musa.The road up the mountain is very steep, on one side of the rock wall there are a group of caves, the stone is colorful, on the other side of the river valley is towering colorful stones, wild flowers are pink, looking up, the five-colored steps continue to pave into the blue sky, like the mythical rainbow road.Climb the hill and you'll see the famous Valley of Musa, where the ancient city of Petra sits, but now it's all ruins.If you're here, you can't fail to visit the Temple of Kazni, the largest stone building in Petra.The Kazni Temple, on the other hand, is located at the end of the Sikh Shan Gorge
