The 'Flame Towers' burn in the 'City of Oil,' Azerbaijan

Measuring the 'Garden forgotten by God' with footsteps, Caucasus 🚞 Station 37 ▪️ Country 42 🇦🇿𝐀𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐢𝐣𝐚𝐧☆ Azerbaijan ▶️ The Azerbaijani people worship 'fire,' and the country's name 'Azərbaycan' originates from the Persian language, meaning 'Country of Fire'. The 'Flame Towers' are the landmark buildings of Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, and the design of the skyscrapers in the shape of flames is a reflection of the Azerbaijani people's fire worship complex. The Flame Towers in Baku can be seen from any angle of the city. They are located on the top of a hillside next to the old city, with three buildings together forming the shape of flames, hence the name Flame Towers; due to the irregular design of the flame-shaped curved surface, the buildings shimmer in the sunlight. Best photo spots: ① Near the 'Carpet Museum' in the new city, you can take a distant view of the Flame Towers (Pictures 1-2); ② Near the 'Shirvanshahs' Palace' in the old city, you can take a photo of the palace exterior and the Flame Towers together (Pictures 3-5); ③ The viewing platform in Highland Park offers an unobstructed panoramic view (Pictures 6-7). In addition, Highland Park is also the best viewpoint in the city to overlook the Caspian Sea, with the beautiful scenery of the 'sea' coastline at a glance!
