Self-Driving Around The World, One Person And One Car Traveling Through 83 Countries!

Because it is too dangerous here, and it is really impossible to enter the green garden.

Qin Feng and Xiaowei didn't stay any longer.

After taking some pictures of the scene outside the park with my mobile phone,

Then we boarded the Dongfeng SUV and continued moving forward.

On the streets of postwar Iraq, high walls, barbed wire and countless checkpoints divided the city.

The figures of heavily armed soldiers flashed at various intersections in the city.

Groups of armored vehicles kept passing by Qin Feng and his Dongfeng SUV.

He couldn't help but feel a little shocked as he drove forward.

In addition, it is very difficult to walk around the streets of Iraqi cities.

Just a few steps away is the roadblock checkpoint.

Guns will be pointed at passers-by at any time.

At this time, Qin Feng was driving on the streets of Iraq, and it could be said that he was not afraid.

This kind of scene may not be experienced by local residents in other civilized countries in their lifetime.

Qin Feng also hopes that people in all countries around the world will not experience the pain that people in the Middle East have experienced.

He also didn’t know that on the streets of this Iraqi city densely populated by soldiers,

If anyone dares not to cooperate with the military's request,

Will a sniper hiding upstairs kill that person on the spot?

Qin Feng doesn’t know.

Don't want to know either.

June 26, six o'clock in the morning.

The sky was just bright.

After a night of driving, Qin Feng drove a Longsan car, carrying compatriot Xiao Wei,

Arrive at the capital of Iraq, Baghdad.

In addition to being the capital of Iraq, Baghdad is also the capital of Baghdad Province.

A famous historical and cultural city in the Islamic world.

The name Baghdad comes from Persian [meaning "gift from God"].

The old translation is "Baoda", "Baha Pagoda".

Baghdad straddles both sides of the Tigris River,

It is only over 30 kilometers away from the Euphrates River.

Located on the east-west transportation artery, railways, highways and aviation form three-dimensional transportation on land and in the air, which is very convenient.

The railway leads to Syria and Turkey in the north and extends to the Persian Gulf in the south. It is also a must-pass for the International Orient Express.

On December 26, 2019, Baghdad ranked 222nd on the list of the top 500 global cities in 2019.

Although the entire country of Iraq is still relatively backward after the war,

But there is one thing to say: after so many years of continuous development,

Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, has indeed developed.

Completely out of the shadow of the war-torn country,

It's like a new international metropolis.

As early as 4,000 years ago, the Sumerian city-state was established in Baghdad.

In the 18th century BC, the Kingdom of Babylon, known as one of the "four major ancient civilizations in the world", entered the stage of history.

For centuries, it was not only the capital of the Arab Empire and a famous city of Islam,

It is also the center of economy, trade, culture and transportation in West Asia and the Middle East.

Baghdad, as the capital of the Arab Empire (Noha), has a history of more than 1,200 years.

From 786 AD to 833 AD, Baghdad was in its prosperous period.

At that time, there was a lot of construction work in the city, and buildings with Arab style appeared one after another.

The urban area developed from Hexi to Hedong and became the most important cultural and trade center in the vast region of the Middle East at that time.

Together with Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty of the Dragon Kingdom, and Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, it was known as the three most famous cities in the world at that time.
