Known as one of the seven wonders of the world cotton castle, is located southwest of Denizli Province of Turkey. It seems like a cotton packing from the "Castle": semi-circular white jade natural step as layer upon layer, like a jigsaw puzzle of the terraces of snow, distance, large flowers, like large flowers of cotton stands on a hill, numerous small at flow from the gap between the gurgling rock mound to shed, warm water vapor to the mixing of cotton castle in the misty fog light, the spring in the step plot, forming a pool barking waves of fashion.

Way line, far more than ten kilometers outside, you can see the yellow ground Jingxian touch of white, like a glacier. When the profile has become increasingly clear, the eyes actually appeared as if a huge white castle. Yu-chieh, like the white lotus-like layers of terraced fields covered slopes along the mountain in the mound trickle gurgling down the Rocks. Platform at the water into a pond, a bark like a light blue spring water right into every white jade embedded in the table, a flower like a white stone steps of cotton Lingling dressed in clean water yarn shine in the sun. Outside the meantime, like a foot on the ladder of heaven, like a sleepwalking Yuyu King House of Jade Pool wonderland. This strange slope 2,700 meters long, 160 meters. Turks call it "wood Carlisle Pa", or "Cotton Castle."

Here is the legend of "the ancient gods of the land of cotton harvesting and drying, long time into the jade made of cotton." Romantic Greek mythology, said: long time ago, a man named Andy handsome shepherd boy close en Se Lini rendezvous with the moon, forget the milking the goats, resulting in cross-flow of milk, covering the entire hill.

According to a scientific explanation, these steps are actually the white calcium carbonate as the main component of "travertine." Local rainwater into the ground, after a long hot spring in the form of circular Youyi emission, in the process of dissolving a large number of calcareous rocks and other minerals. When Wen Quanshun flowing slopes, the calcareous deposits along the passage of time will form a ladder-shaped patches of calcification embankment.

Fort spring shades of cotton, some only, and ankle, and some may be to the waist, keep the spring 34 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Spring water rich in calcium, magnesium and other minerals, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, skin diseases and rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases with a special effect.

Fort cotton bath area and found a large number of sites relating to culture. Here in the Roman Empire had been elected emperor, the royal baths generations. It is said that the subsequent decline is because there is a major earthquake. Now, in the beautiful open-air bath, you can see two thousand years ago the Greek columns.

In 1988, the Cotton Castle by UNESCO as world cultural heritage. Turkish government in order to better protect the wonders of the world to provide visitors must visit barefoot to prevent the soles wear cotton Fort limestone. Turkish Government also carried out for the natural spring water in a planned management and control, such as in the original terrain of first order with cement bricks artificial step edges of the first order, will help the calcium carbonate deposits in the spring on the top to form an artificial stone gray. Also, to maintain the terrain dry colloidal calcium carbonate to precipitate sufficient time for sun exposure hardens, some areas to control drainage, but if dry a long time, but also re-injection. To distinguish between natural and artificial parts of the stone steps is not difficult terrain, the natural step edges formed by deposition of a section of ridge-like processes, step on foot will feel the burn. The man has a certain place because of the thickness of the edge, it seems very monotonous unity, not as good as the wonderful natural formation.

I think that when the cotton is the most beautiful castle sunset, when the sun's rays a little flushed bright red from the pink rose gold into ash, cotton the most beautiful castle will be like a lotus, the metamorphosis of the incredible miracle of light and shadow. Take off shoes and socks, bubbling hot water, calcium-rich hot spring water slowly flow through the foot, gently remove some fatigue. Close look at the reflection of sunlight into the water light blue, accompanied by a white "cotton terraces" and the distant mountains, really blessed earth. Shen Beach
