India Jaipur Amber Fort | Shocking!!!

Amber Fort, a must-visit tourist spot in Jaipur, India. A must-visit spot in the area. When traveling to northern India, Jaipur should be a city that many people don't miss. It is one of the famous "Four Color Cities" in India, known as the "Pink City". In addition to the famous Palace of the Winds and City Palace, the Amber Fort here is also a must-see. Attraction introduction Amber Fort is built on the hills north of Jaipur, with a large area. It was first built in 1592 and took 125 years to complete. Ticket Visiting Amber Fort requires purchasing a ticket, with foreign tourists charged 500 rupees and domestic tourists charged 50 rupees. To reach the fort from the foot of the mountain, there is a stretch of mountain road that can be traversed by foot, elephant ride, or jeep. Walking is not too far. Amber Castle Guide Amber Castle is a complex of buildings built along the mountain, divided into three levels. The first level, the palace, is a very spacious square, which was probably used for military training or parades at that time. If you ride an elephant, you can pass through the Lion Gate and arrive at this square. The second floor palace of Amber Fort is a public conference hall. In the middle of the square, there is a square building which was once the place where Indian nobles received ministers and listened to the people's advice, as well as the place where the people paid various "harsh taxes" to the nobles. Today, the public conference hall is a popular tourist destination and a place for leisure and relaxation. Next to the public conference hall is an exceptionally magnificent palace ✨, also the most famous attraction: the Glass Palace. It is an emperor's sleeping palace built in 1675, and is called the "Mirror Palace" because countless mirrors are embedded in the walls and ceilings of the palace. In addition to mirrors, many gems are also embedded in the walls. Whether it is mirrors or gems, the embedding method is identical to that of the Taj Mahal walls. After coming out of the Glass Palace, we arrived at the highest point of Amber Castle, where we can take in the surrounding scenery 📸. The most eye-catching of them all is the castle on the mountain next door, called Jäger Castle. This castle is very mysterious and outsiders are still not allowed to approach it. Standing at a high place, one can truly feel that the Amber Fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The fortress is situated high and overlooks the surroundings, with a moat below, and the mountains around it are covered with a 40-kilometer-long city wall.
