Things to do in Hushakert

Echmiadzin, near the Armenian capital of Yerevan, is a small town full of historical and cultural atmosphere, with a strong local style. The church here is also very distinctive and worth visiting.

That's about it. I even bumped into a Chinese girl.

Republic Square in Yerevan is the heart of the Armenian capital and a symbol of its history and culture. Surrounded by majestic buildings such as the National History Museum and the State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre, it attracts tourists with its beautiful fountains and green spaces. In the evening, the square is filled with lights, creating a magical atmosphere. It is an ideal place to stroll and enjoy the local atmosphere.

It was very interesting to see the cranes’ nests along the way to the Khor Virap.

It is about 70 kilometers from Yerevan by car. It is a free attraction. There is also a monastery. We took a cruise ship, which cost 10,000 drams for 3 people, about 60 yuan per person. There were not many people when we went there that day, which was equivalent to chartering a boat. Climb to the top of the mountain to find the monastery.

加尼神庙是按照希腊式的建筑模式而修建的一座神庙，是亚美尼亚前基督教时期建筑的代表作。加尼神庙到今天都是世界上位置最靠东的希腊式神庙。原建筑在1679年的地震中被毁，今天游客看到的是苏联勃列日涅夫时代考古学界复原的建筑，在复原过程中使用了很多散落在原地的建筑构件。

Beautiful Iranian mosque from ancient Yerevan

With its extraordinary rock-cut churches and tombs, it is the best-preserved and most complete representative of the overall architecture and decorative art of medieval Armenian monasteries to date; its eclectic and innovative architectural style has had a profound impact on the architectural form of this region since then.

It is definitely worth a visit, right in the city center, facing the beautiful Mount Ararat, with a park next to it. In the morning and evening, many people walk and exercise on the mountain trails. The air is very fresh, and there are many mulberry trees on the road, which are sweet and delicious!
