Scenic spot introduction:

Pamukkale is one of the world's most famous hot spring resorts. It is located in the southwest of Denizli, Turkey. It not only has natural hot springs that are thousands of years old, but also has weird cotton-like hills. The uncanny power of nature has created such a wonderful wonderland. The Turkish word Pamukkale is composed of the two words Pamuk (cotton) and Kale (castle). Cotton refers to its color as white as cotton. It looks like a cotton ball from a distance, but it is actually a hard limestone terrain. The castle means that it is composed of the entire hillside, layer after layer, shaped like a castle, hence the name Pamukkale. Hierapolis, not far from Pamukkale, is also a good place for archeology enthusiasts. The ancient Roman-style architectural ruins give people a completely different experience.
