Actividades en Vardzia

In 1994, Bagrati Cathedral, together with the Gelati Monastery, was included in UNESCO's World Heritage Site list as a single entity. In 2001, ownership of the cathedral was transferred from the Georgian state to the Georgian Orthodox Church. It is presently of limited use for religious services, but attracts many pilgrims and tourists. It is also frequently used as a symbol of the city of Kutaisi, being one of its main tourist attractions. I recommend to visit in the morning.

教堂最震撼的莫过于那个纯金包裹的穹顶，阳光下璀璨夺目，夜间灯光亮起时又温柔庄严。值得一提的是，建造这座教堂的资金主要来自普通市民的捐赠——这不仅是建筑，更是格鲁吉亚人在苏联解体后重拾信仰、凝聚民族身份的象征。

去卡兹别克的路上，几乎没有不在这停一脚的。车过桥，阿纳努里要塞就立在桥头的水库边，远远看去，像一座搁浅在湖心的石头城堡。我叫停了车，先在桥上拍了照。快门按完，忽然反应过来 —— 这不就是《孤独星球》封面上那个角度吗？同样的桥栏，同样的灰白色石墙，同样的蓝绿色水面。原来攻略里说的 "封面同款机位"，就这么平平常常地摆在路边，一点没端着。要塞背后的水库叫任瓦利水库，群山一圈圈地围着，水色是那种不深不浅的绿。站在堡垒顶部往下看，视野确实是最好的 —— 水库、桥、山、远处盘山的公路，全都摊开在脚下。但要想上去也没那么简单，原来左边的入口被封了，边上有个当地人给点小费可以从右边进入，钱不多，倒像是这座几百年老要塞开的 "通关费"—— 六百年前的兵要交，六百年后的游客也要交。内部楼梯狭小，台阶湿滑，每一步都走得小心翼翼，下楼时朋友还是滑了一下，所以安全第一，这个景就看看照片得了：D

you can get free borjomi mineral water which claimed to be very good for health there, and is quite nice to take a walk around the park

We drove along the Georgian Military Highway in July and stopped at Kazbek. The mountains are massive, the peak is covered in snow, and the green slopes below — it looks like a postcard. We hiked up to Gergeti Church, and the views from there are the best on the whole road. The climb on foot takes about an hour, and it's windy and chilly at the top even in summer, so a jacket is a must. It gets crowded, but it's worth it. If you're driving this road, definitely make a stop — you won't regret it.

白天普通，夜晚封神。来第比利斯一定要走一次和平桥，最好在黄昏——看太阳从堡垒身后落下，看灯光从桥身依次亮起，看这座城市的古老与现代，在你脚下握手言和。

We were in Batumi in July and came to the sculpture closer to sunset. The impression was strong — the figures move slowly and smoothly, and the moment when they pass through each other really gets you. We stood through two cycles in a row, even though a full circle takes about 10 minutes. It's crowded in the evening, but you can still find a spot by the railing. The Ferris wheel is right next to it, so it's easy to combine with a walk. During the day, I think there's not much to see — all the magic is in the lighting and the dark. The only downside: you wait for the movement longer than it actually lasts. But I'd still recommend it — we've never seen anything like this anywhere else.

母亲堡垒位于格鲁吉亚的高处，在上面能看到整个格鲁吉亚，傍晚坐缆车上山可以等太阳落山看夕阳，这个季节的第比利斯晚上只有20多度，真是太舒服了

广场正中央，金色圣乔治骑白马、屠恶龙的雕塑高高矗立在一根石柱顶端——这是2006年萨卡什维利时代竖立的“自由”象征。白天的圣乔治被车流包围，有点孤单。到了晚上，它才真正像一个守护城市的标志。
