💙Mysterious North African Land🇲🇦Blue City of Morocco🩵The legendary city in the sky dyed by spiritual energy

The flight from Portugal to Morocco was cheap, so I moved slowly, starting from the Red City in the desert, passing through the Windy City, and then moving down to the legendary secret place - in the mountains in northern Morocco, there is a small town that seems to have walked out of a dream - #Chefchaouen, where every wall, every step, and every window is painted with layers of blue. It is not a single color, but from the light blue of the morning light to the indigo of the evening mist, as if you have walked into a poem written by the Mediterranean and the sky. So why is it blue? This is not a whim of the designer, but comes from two mysterious legends hundreds of years ago! 🔹 One of the legends says that in order to ward off evil, the Jews used blue to represent the light of God and to drive away evil spirits; 🔹 The second legend says that blue looks like flowing water, and mosquitoes are afraid of water, so the blue wall has become a natural mosquito-proof barrier. Don’t you think it coincides with the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival’s purpose of warding off plague, evil spirits, mosquitoes and diseases? Sachets and blue walls, it turns out that different cultures have similar wishes - to ensure safety and protect the body and mind. 🌿Walking in Chefchaouen, it feels like being surrounded by blue blessings. Even if you just take a picture, it feels like you have walked out of a painting. This city is not a bustling tourist attraction, but a place where you can slow down and breathe in the spiritual energy. 🛫✈️ How to get to Chefchaouen? Traffic tips are here! Although the Blue City is hidden in the mountains of northern Morocco, transportation is much more convenient than you might think: 🔹 From major cities in Morocco: • From Fès: The bus ride takes about 4 to 5 hours. The most recommended companies are CTM or Supratours. The buses are comfortable and air-conditioned, and the ticket price is about MAD 75 to 100 (about NT$250 to 350 / RMB 50 to 70). • From Tangier: It takes about 2.5 to 3 hours by car. You can also take the CTM bus, which is suitable for passengers transferring from southern Spain to Morocco by boat. • From Casablanca: Take the train to Fez (about 4-5 hours), then take a bus to Chefchaouen. The total journey takes about 9 hours, which is suitable for a stopover. 🚕 Want to relax? You can charter a car or join a one-day small group tour. There are many Chinese-speaking small group tours departing from Fez and Tangier, which are suitable for travelers who don't want to worry about transportation. 📍Warm reminder: Chefchaouen is a mountain city with mostly stone steps and steep slopes. It is recommended to wear non-slip and comfortable shoes, and it is best to use a mountaineering backpack instead of a suitcase for luggage. #Dragon Boat Festival good places
