阿格拉拥有世界上最美丽的陵墓——泰姬陵。泰姬陵是“世界七大奇迹”之一,任何摄影技术和华丽辞藻都无法真正地表现泰姬陵的绚美与神奇。除泰姬陵外,阿格拉还拥有两处世界文化遗产:阿格拉红堡和法塔赫布尔西格里古城。从16世纪到18世纪初,阿格拉一直都是印度的首都。

Agra Fort is built with red sandstone(砂岩), so it is also called Red Fort(堡垒). You can see many fairy-tale(宛如童话故事中的) palaces in it.

The Taj Mahal, like the Great Wall, is one of the “Seven Wonders” of the world. It is a tomb(坟墓) in India. A king built it for his dear queen. About 20,000 workers took almost 22 years to build it. Its name means “the crown(皇冠) of the palace”. More than 43 kinds of precious stones make up the jewels(宝石) in this crown.

This garden tomb is famous for its perfect symmetry(对称). It is one of the most beautiful masterpieces(杰作) of architecture(建筑) in the world. When people visit it, they need to take off their shoes. And the tickets are expensive in morning and evening, but cheap during the day. Can you guess why?

Henna is a form of body art from ancient(古代的) India. It is traditionally used for happy occasions(场合) like holidays, birthdays and weddings in India.

Yoga is a way to learn and understand the spiritual(精神的) India.

The sari is the traditional clothes of an Indian woman. The Indian Sari, believe it or not, is more than 5000 years old.

你知道为什么吗?

由于泰姬陵在早晚和白天的景色受光线的影响有一定的差异,所以,它的票价是实行早、中、晚不同价格收费的。如果是在夏天的中午去泰姬陵的话,由于印度夏天气温非常高,游客脱了鞋走在烫脚的地面上,便只能蹦蹦跳跳地前行了。所以,要尽量避开夏天的中午去那里哦。

在阿格拉,有三处世界文化遗产:泰姬陵、阿格拉红堡和法塔赫布尔西格里(Fatehpur Sikri)古城。法塔赫布尔西格里古城遗址于1986年被列入世界文化遗产。法塔赫布尔西格里古城原意为“胜利城”,始建于16世纪下半叶,1526年至1658年期间成为莫卧儿帝国的首都。该遗址拥有众多颇具特色的寺庙和一座气势宏大、装饰豪华的皇宫,突出地体现了莫卧儿文明的辉煌成就。
