The most amazing sights in Samarkand

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The #Shah-i-Zinda Tombs in #Samarkand are not to be missed! Shakhi Zinda means "Eternal King" in Uzbek. The name is closely connected with the legend of Abbasid. According to legend, after his body and head were separated, he took his head and threw it into a deep well. Later, he still survived in this deep well. Therefore, he is honored as the "King of Eternal Life". This ancient and mysterious Islamic building is decorated with blue-toned tiles. Combined with Islamic decorative rules of geometric shapes and floral patterns, It looks both gorgeous and solemn. Walking into the mausoleum complex, it feels like being in the mythical world of One Thousand and One Nights. You can take unexpected photos at every corner. It can be said to be a must-see attraction for traveling in Central Asia. #Uzbekistan #Unpopular Attractions #Unpopular Countries #Five Central Asian Countries #Central Asia #Free Travel #Other Attractions
