Chev Shawan, Morocco is a mysterious blue world. The buildings and roads here are covered with blue, full of mystery and religious piety. It belongs to the Arab field and of course is also the coverage of Islam. When you travel, you must follow the local customs. Let's share with you the travel strategy of Chev Shawan, Morocco in 2017.

"golden house hides charming"

It actually hides a blue city, the blue department

Chefchaouen

It is regarded as an accessory by many tourists to travel to Morocco, so you can go or not, or you can pass by when you have time. However, only when I got here did I know that this place is a gem of the land of North Africa and a stop not to be missed. My photo wall, grid photo wall, the most beautiful travel photo contest, must-punch attractions for travel.

What it has is the inner peace brought by blue, which is like the sea, the sky and the universe. Although blue is cold, it brings people a freshness, a ray of tranquility, a touch of openness and a touch of melancholy. my scheming

It is said that there are five blue cities and towns in the world. The most famous is Santorini on Aegean Island, followed by Shefshauen.

If you are also crazy about blue, then this place will surely satisfy all your romantic fantasies about blue.

I heard that Chris Lee came here to play for a while. A happy girl came to this exotic and humanistic country, just like breaking into a mysterious country.

Located in the wide valley of Rif Mountain, far from the bustling blue city of metropolis,

If you want to walk through every step here slowly and be wrapped in the purest color, you will have a sense of fulfillment.

The town is more than 500 meters above sea level, built on the mountain, with high and low levels. Every house, every wall, is covered with white and all kinds of blue. It is blue and white, irregular, casual and casual, simple and natural, like a bucket of blue paint cans that are not evenly mixed and spilled on the hillside.

She was very quiet in the morning.

This, there will really be a moment to think, is not a dream is not very real.

Around the corner, maybe a cat is looking at you curiously with MengMeng's eyes open.

She became lively and colorful. Colorful goods, such as tapestries, scarves, grass baskets and pigments, dotted the town. Although blue was regarded as the background, it showed its tolerance, depth and breadth more and more. Together, they woven a colorful world.

TOBEYOURSELF

Some people say that this blue city is easy for you to lose yourself.

I said, I lost my way and found myself.

How much helplessness there is in life and how much pressure there is in work.

Emotional confusion more or less.

In this blue

Leave it all behind.

Tired, sitting on the steps

Empty, only to find that this is the most original self.

At present, everything is so clean.

You will never be forgotten by the world.

You can choose to forget your world.

Blue night, with blue dreams.

It's late at night, and I can't bear to part with its blue in the day.

In this way, a blue gem is set in your heart forever.

Chev Shawan is a tourist attraction with excellent environment. It is still full of mysterious historical feelings. The sky-blue buildings make you feel like you are in the ocean. Everything here is solemn and holy, which makes your mind thoroughly purified. Let's share with you the travel strategy of Chev Shawan in 2018.

Chev Shawan is the most relaxing place in this trip to Morocco. From the moment I got into a local taxi, I knew that there was no stressful routine.

Coming out of Fez, the green plains are dotted with pieces of snow-white apricot flowers, and the green and white are so beautiful that they are not stunning but moving;

Olive orchards and vineyards are accompanied along the way. The farther north you go, the more you feel that you are gradually moving away from the barren desert and Gobi, which are full of adventure interest, as if you have come to another world.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Morocco is attractive. In a small country, it has rich landforms and people can experience different worlds.

Recommended attractions:

Chefchaouen Old City, built on the hill, is also an Arab community. The dense paths are covered by shops, and the restaurant has a variety of flavors.

Arrival mode:

Take a taxi from the bus stop. The fare is about 15 dirhams.

Admission: Free.

"I never had expectations for Shevchavan." When I wrote this sentence in my travel notes, I saw a slight blue color halfway up the mountain ahead. It's really not a good thing to see too many pictures. When it's your turn, it seems that it doesn't matter whether it's beautiful or not.

In the 15th century, there were a large number of Jews living in Shevchawan. They didn't adapt to the heat and mosquitoes in summer here. They thought it was cooler to paint their houses blue, and added a secret recipe to prevent mosquitoes in the dye. As everyone knows, this small town, painted blue for cooling and mosquito prevention, is now highly sought after by tourists.

In the blue Chev Savannah Medina, businessmen deliberately cater to the preferences of tourists, and put flowers outside their blue houses. Tourists love this set and rush to take pictures, all of which are small and fresh. The residents of Chev Shawan obviously don't like tourists. They avoid tourists and cameras. They don't allow tourists to get close to their house doors or stay outside their courtyard walls. They look at tourists with bored eyes. I don't blame them. Every day, an endless stream of tourists enter and even affect their normal lives, and they often have to passively enter the camera. How annoying.

I visited Medina at night, and I saw too much blue in the sun. I might as well visit Chev Shawan at night. In Medina at night, there was laughter and abuse from the residents' rooms. In the alleys, only tourists who lost their way were left. The shops still tried to welcome guests, but it was difficult to meet the one who was willing to pay. Occasionally, they passed by the houses with the doors open, but they just passed by and might be rejected.

Chefchaouen Ras Elma, Majiao Park, Chevshawan Houshan.

Cape Park is located behind the old city. Standing on the top of the hill overlooking the whole city, the sunset is particularly beautiful!

Majiao Park is only a 15-minute walk from Chev Shawan Castle. The online raiders can't find Majiao Park, and the poor tour is called "Chev Shawan Houshan", which is definitely a name casually given by netizens. Please look at the sign at the park gate and Google Maps, and don't name it casually (the author has corrected it on the poor tour website), otherwise it won't be found at all. I didn't know there was such a park until I was introduced by the hotel owner and combined with Google Maps. Majiao Park (free) is a small hill. You can soak in the creek bar at the foot of the mountain for a while, and then climb the mountain easily. The scenery of the blue city at the foot of the mountain varies with the appreciation angle along the way, such as the combination of blue houses and ancient city walls.

Spanish Mosque

Traffic guide:

Walking to the end of the east side of Medina, there is a south-facing uphill path, which can be reached in about 15 minutes after climbing along the trail.

The Spanish Mosque is located at the top of Majiao Park, and it takes 15 minutes to walk from the gate of the park to the Spanish Mosque at the top of the mountain. At sunset, photographers from all walks of life set up tripods on the platform in front of the mosque, waiting for the sun to set. The Spanish mosque itself is not a sight to see, but it is definitely a landmark and the best observation deck in Chev Shawan.

Kasbah Museum, Castle Museum

How to get there: Place Outa el Hammam is the central square of the old town of Shevchawan, located on the left side of the northern end of Avenue Hassan II, within walking distance.

Opening hours: Monday to Sunday from 9: 00 to 13: 00 and from 15: 00 to 18: 30, including Friday from 9: 00 to 12: 00 and from 15: 00 to 18: 30.

Admission: 10 dirhams for adults and 3 dirhams for children under 12.

Chev Shawan Castle (ticket 10MAD) is one of the landmarks of the small town. After paying the money at the ticket office, there is no such thing as a ticket, only a greeting, "Welcome to visit" is over. In the center of the castle is a courtyard, where several orange trees are planted with fruitful results, and all kinds of unknown flowers and plants are dotted with beautiful courtyards. There is a museum on one side of the courtyard, and there are few physical exhibits, which are basically some pictures, such as the process of repairing the castle at that time, the workshops used and so on. The second floor introduces the historical evolution of the city of Chev Shawan, which is a corner of understanding the customs of North Africa.

The narrow prison is located on the side under the watchtower. The handcuffs and anklets used to interrogate prisoners were still left in place, as if telling the vicissitudes of the town.

It is a good place to take a panoramic view when you climb the watchtower and overlook the railing. Blue houses, green hills and mosques are not far away, and this is also an excellent place to get a close look at Blue City.

Place Outa el Hammam Kasbah, the central square of the old city.

In the center of the old town of Chev Shawan, the main cafes and restaurants are concentrated here. If you want to relax leisurely, this may be a good choice.

Opening hours:

24 hours

Admission: Free.

Place Outa el Hammam is the central square of the small town of Chev Shawan, and Chev Shawan Castle is the center of the whole Medina. There are restaurants and teahouses near the castle. I was going to go to the castle first, but it was inexplicably closed at 4 pm. It was said that it would take another 45 minutes, but it was not agreed to close at 18: 30. It seems that visiting scenic spots depends on luck.

If you are going to go down the mountain after sunset, you must prepare a flashlight. You can't wear slippers to go up the mountain. There is a gravel road in the middle of the mountain, which is not easy to walk. If it is summer, you must apply mosquito repellent.

Looking at the vast plains, orchards and farms all the way, the story of the woman from Europe and Africa, Africans, African farms and African land, as well as the story of her unfortunate lost lover, appeared again and again in my mind.

The scene where she and her friends buried her lover who died in the flight in the rain moved me to tears. They finally found the favorite lover of the woman in the rain and buried her lover on the hillside of the woman's farm, so the hillside should not be marked.

After leaving, you will never find your place back. In the heavy rain covered with dense fog, how does the hostess do her best to erect a monument for her lover's grave and mark it on the road so that people who love him can come back to visit him often?

Now I'm in a 360-degree-long plain, and I finally understand why the woman is so afraid that she will never find her lover's grave again.

I reluctantly opened my eyes from a deep sleep and found that the plain that could not identify the direction had disappeared and entered the deep mountains that also made people unable to identify the direction. Gradually, the long-awaited blue and white houses dotted the hillside and attracted people's attention. The people in the car were agitated and excited.

Chev Shawan appeared in the mid-levels like a fairy tale, so it is also called the city of the sky. I like the name of the city of the sky very much. Compared with the name of a blue and white town, it is more like a fairy tale, more imaginative, and easier to fantasize about stories. Perhaps Miyazaki Hayao has watched too many cartoons.

From the agitation of everyone in the car, we can see everyone's expectations for the blue and white town. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, it feels quiet as the car slowly enters the town.

When I got off the bus, the crowd had quietly dispersed in the blink of an eye, and it was extremely quiet around. After taking a taxi to settle down, I walked to the town center and prepared for a good dinner.

The residence is separated from the town center by only one street, but it is a completely different atmosphere. The street where the residence is located is on the periphery of the center, quiet, and what you see along the way is basically the very local life of the local people. Small shops sell local food items, and children play in the street. It doesn't feel that life is different because this town has become a tourist hotspot.

What I like best is the big and full avocado sold in a fruit shop not far from my residence. Compared with the domestic price, it is very affordable, 25 dirhams per kilogram, which is equivalent to about 4 yuan RMB, so that I can buy a few every time I pass by.

However, the center of the town is very busy, with crowded restaurants, bustling tourists and dazzling souvenirs. It is a completely different world from the periphery of the center, although it is only a few steps away, you can switch between quiet and noisy. This is one of the reasons why I like Chev Shawan.

Walking through the houses and alleys built on the mountain has a unique flavor, especially the blue that comes across at the corner, the deep blue, the light blue, the blue of the sky and the blue of the sea. All the blue you can imagine inadvertently appears on the walls, window frames, doors and the ground, which makes people feel heartbroken.

I think of Mayol Garden, and its blue must have come from Mr. Saint Laurent's heartache when he passed by. After all, Mr. Saint Laurent is a master fashion designer. The blue in his hand is so pure, and the contrast color with it is yellow, which gives another kind of collision heartbeat.

Innocent children are running and laughing in the blue, especially the little boys playing football. Their lithe figures follow the rolling ball in the winding alleys, steep stairwells and endless joy.

This is childhood! There are always parents shouting "Be careful not to fall down" behind the children who see us running, and children who are always trapped at home by homework and even quarrel with their parents about homework, how much less childhood fun they have.

When I inadvertently walked through a low porch between shops and stepped into a shallow and soft blue yard with doors and windows from the ground to the walls, I was pleasantly surprised and stepped into the blue.

At this moment, two little girls of eight or nine years old ran out of the house, vying to take pictures. In view of the fact that I met a little girl who asked for money on the way up the mountain earlier, I refused the two children. They insisted, and this time I understood that they didn't want me to take their photos, but they wanted to take my photos. Seeing their lovely appearance and the desire to play with the camera in their eyes, I couldn't refuse any more, so I handed the camera to one of the girls. The girl held the camera boldly and taught me how to pose, choose the background and click it. Later, when I looked at the photos, I found many unique perspectives. Watching her immerse herself in it, I unconsciously let her fiddle with it for about half an hour. She reluctantly returned the camera to my hand after I repeatedly told her that I had to go, while the other little girl, pitifully, didn't even touch the camera. Interaction with them is the pleasure of the journey.

In these blue and white alleys, people wearing robes with pointed hats are often seen walking through them and passing through the low porches, as if they were in the picture of the Lord of the Rings. It turns out that the background and characters in the movie are not purely imaginary, just as the background of Avatar is inspired by Zhangjiajie; The background of the animated film Travel Around the Flying House refers to the waterfalls in Gao Yuan and Gao Yuan, the highest waterfalls in the world. How many materials the creators read and how many places they have traveled can they find the background and characters with such an appropriate theme from all over the world. Travel is the source of creation.

While bargaining with the restaurant owner about the exchange rate of US dollars, I met a couple of travelers from China. They copied fluent Arabic and helped me raise the exchange rate by several points. They also had dinner together and chatted about all kinds of anecdotes encountered in Mozambique, which was very cheerful.

Chev Shawan is small but has a long history. The castle with a history of hundreds of years still stands in the center of the town, and the bakery with a history of hundreds of years is still on fire.

If you can stay in Chev Shawan for a few days, hiking is a good choice, or just let yourself get lost in the blue alley and have an encounter with the Lord of the Rings; In the afternoon, I came to the stream outside the center and sat down for a cup of coffee slowly, listening to the trickle of the stream. At sunset, I came to the hillside and sat on the wall to watch the sun set slowly. Oh, you can also go to the vegetable market outside the town to change yourself into a local and experience all kinds of life as a local. This is also the interesting thing about traveling.
