Sighnaghi old city

From Azerbaijan, you can reach the border town of Signaji in Georgia. The air is fresh and the scenery is picturesque. There are not many tourists, but there is no shortage of locals. Georgia is a tourist country worth visiting.

From Tbilisi to Tbilisi by car 220km, see Georgia's Signaghi - known as the love town, fairy tale town is added to the evaluation of future generations, in fact, it is the birthplace of European wine. (It is true that Georgians drive fiercely!)

The town of Signaggi, Georgia, is the hometown of the famous Georgian painter Nikopiros Manishvili. The Russian masterpiece "One Million Roses" is written according to the artist's experience! And here is the background, full of flowers in the small town of Wenqing.

The old town of Sigonaji has a unique charm, strong interest and high cost performance.

Signaji, Georgia, has the reputation of a love town, is very quiet, when it arrives, the fog is gradually scattered, the rain is shining, and there is a sense of paradise. Signaj is also known as the Royal Town because it became the seat of Georgia's royal family in the second century BC. The town is built on a mountain, the road is not flat, and the slopes are switched up and down. Because the town's marriage registry is open 24 hours, which can meet the requirements of new people from all over the world to register for marriage, the reputation of the love town has spread. The idyllic scenery of the town is very beautiful, the cross road for a long time, and many original old buildings have been well preserved to date, giving the town a unique historical charm. Walking on the street can smell the romantic atmosphere in the air. Signaj is the hiding place for many European couples on their honeymoon. The town is very small. I estimate that it is very interesting to take a circle of the market in more than half an hour. It seems that it is not like doing business. Sitting there, pulling home, chatting, the specialty is the kind of stick wrapped in nuts. The appearance is beautiful, but the taste is really not flattering. The whole town is a mountain road. Bend, the terrain is undulating, the buildings are built on the mountain, scattered, you can experience a different style, like a paradise.

The center of the town is the low point of the town, and the north is the high point. The town of Signaji is built on the rolling slopes of such a highland, and the road ground of the town is covered with cobblestones. Entering this mountain town of tourists, the stone road is mostly surrounded by hotels and bars. Visitors from all over the world make the town a bit crowded, and many Chinese compatriots can be seen here. It is a little aimless to walk into the town, only to know that it is going in the direction of the ancient castle. There is an observation deck behind the Signaji Museum. We are "shocked" by the beauty of the view. The red-topped houses on the mountain beams are hidden in the green trees, and the vast plains in the distance make the mountain beams look so abrupt. Look carefully and see the ancient city with towers and city walls above the slope of the mountain beams. A small town with a long history and architectural characteristics left us with the first good impression. I don't know why, there doesn't seem to be much content on Google Maps about the town, but Map.me maps show more. So follow the map to the castle location, because the town is built on the mountainous hilly area, so the road level changes a lot, and the map plane effect does not reflect this level change. The result twice led us to go the wrong way.

The old town is very quiet, there are few people, tourists are three or two, but most European tourists. Xiao Chen is not very big, but the teacher's building is still very well preserved. There are some mountain cities. The terrain is high and low. The road is very slippery on rainy days. The vehicles are not necessarily open. You must drive enough horsepower to rush up, so sometimes the noise is very loud. It is in contrast to the quiet environment of the town.

Signaj is one of the birthplaces of human red wine, where grape cultivation and winemaking history have been more than 7,000 years. From Tbilisi to Signaji minibus station opposite the subway Samgori station, there are many trains to go, but it is not so convenient to come back, it is said that you have to buy tickets in advance, otherwise you may not go to Tbilisi, I saw a car full of direct to Batumi. So carpooling back to Tbilisi is a good idea, generally 75 Larry/car. The dining in the town is mainly concentrated in the square, and then there are two on the wall, but overall it is not convenient. The town is very mini, a circle for an hour is enough, the town is located in the Azani Valley in East Georgia, the mountain bag, surrounded by a horse Pingchuan, the towering Caucasus mountains are far away. Although the town of Signaji is not as prosperous as Tbilisi, it is peaceful and quiet here, which is more suitable for two days.
