Azerbaijan, the Land of Fire, is full of surprises.

The first surprise is Baku. Before I came, I thought Baku was a shabby capital. After I came, I didn't expect it to be so clean, tidy and modern! The city layout and architectural design on the streets and alleys make people feel like they are in Europe, but they are cleaner and tidier than most European cities. Zaha's design stands proudly above the city, and it is no wonder that it can integrate F1 into the city streets. Going north along the ancient Silk Road, I came to the transit town of Sheki on the Silk Road. This is in line with the stereotype of a "developing village". However, the low cost of living, comfortable weather and the unique historical temperament of the ancient village make it have some basics of a secluded town. Azerbaijan, known as the "Land of Fire", is said to be the birthplace of Zoroastrianism. This is also a rare ethnic country where the foreign population is larger than the local population (Iran, which borders the south, has more Azerbaijani population than Azerbaijan). The city's most obvious flame logo, in addition to being prominently highlighted in the high and low parks of the capital, also transforms the building into a fire-like appearance for the whole city to see. And "fire" also has another explanation - aside from the enthusiastic promotion of commercialized scenic spots, this is a country where you look down at your mobile phone for a few seconds, and passers-by come over and ask you in awkward English if you need help - this kind of "old-fashioned" enthusiasm, even social phobia patients, will also give birth to a touch of touch and peace of mind.
