Finally arrived in the visa-free country of the Caucasus, Georgia 🇬🇪 I thought Tbilisi was beautiful Until I came to Batumi 🌊 I am glad that I did not miss this city by the Black Sea Famous for the sculpture of Ali & Nino At sunset, under the Ferris wheel The two sculptures approach and separate, but never really touch Full of unpredictable metaphors I would like to call it the most romantic city in the Caucasus 💕 The inspiration for the Ali & Nino sculpture comes from the novel "Ali and Nino" Ali is a young Azerbaijani Muslim, and Nino is a Georgian princess who believes in Christianity. The two met in high school and fell in love But because of different beliefs and wars In the end, it became a tragedy under the tease of fate The Ali & Nino statue today is performing a story of approaching and separating every day With a cycle of 10 minutes and 05 seconds, they meet briefly but can never embrace This moving sculpture also brings a touch of mysterious romanticism to Batumi Watching the sculpture slowly moving by the Black Sea at sunset The setting sun dyed the entire coast golden The world should be so beautiful 🌅

Georgia is mostly about the mountains, natural views and historical buildings, after a month in Georgia, I have never seen any modern skyscrapers, including in Tiblisi (capital in Georgia).

I ran up and picked up the camera to ask if I could After taking a few shots, the foreign beauty nodded without hesitation. took a few shots and she suddenly asked: Are you Chinese?

Batumi is the last stop in Georgia, the most European city in Georgia. Even in July, you can feel a touch of coolness at the Black Sea in Batumi. Several people went to the Church of Our Lady during the day and brought a book on the shaded bench in the yard. Sitting and watching for an hour, accompanied by humming and the shade under the tree, sitting on the right side of an amiable grandfather, holding a book in his hand, then falling asleep, gently screaming, my friend called me to leave At that time, I gently got up and took off a leaf that fell on his clothes. The afternoon sun was warm, but extremely gentle, like the wind of the Black Sea, like the trees in the yard, like the shyness of the hands raised between lovers.

No one doesnt like Batumi. This is how I met Batumi when I was traveling in Georgia. It is a popular holiday city in the Caucasus and even Russia. It has sunshine, beaches and freedom.

Tbilisi is divided into two parts: the old city and the new city. The old city waterfront, the city has curved alleys, old castles, and the church built in the 5th century and the former Georgian palace. The church scattered in the old city is definitely higher than the residential area in terms of volume and shape, and it has become the center of its own small area. Most of the churches come from the distant Middle Ages, dark but full of warm candlelight, and it is precisely this atmosphere that creates a quiet, warm, mournful neighborhood. The hierarchical relationship between the church and the dwellings is linked to each other and spread like a root.
