Cantonese Travelogue – Türkiye (ENGLISH VER)
Cappadocia is a must-visit spot for any traveller in Turkey, bursting with dreamlike scenery and a touch of romance.
Vicky and Meka finally fulfil their wish of riding in a hot air balloon, drifting through the sky to take in the magical landscape of Cappadocia’s “fairy chimneys”. Millions of years ago, volcanic eruptions buried this region in ash, and, over time, wind and erosion sculpted layers of canyons and caves. People cleverly carved fortresses into the rocks for defence, and built underground cities for safety—leaving behind the moving stories of Christians hiding to escape persecution.
The name “Cappadocia” comes from the Persian “Katpatuka”, meaning “the land of beautiful horses”. Embracing local traditions, Vicky and Meka ride gentle horses through the valleys, brushing past cave churches and ending their adventure on a dreamy note as the sun sets.
