　　Fairy Chimneys, Turkey

　　精灵烟囱，土耳其

　　Legend has it that fairies living in ancient Cappadocia in Turkey's Central Anatolia lived underground, and these bizarre rock formations were the chimneys of their hidden residences. Another theory is the distinctive feature of the World Heritage Listed area were formed first by layers from rock developed over time courtesy of volcanic eruptions, and then erosion.

　　传说有精灵生活在土耳其卡帕多西亚的地下，而这些奇怪岩石结构就是他们隐藏居所的烟囱。还有一种理论认为，这个被列入世界遗产名录的独特地貌是火山喷发岩石硬化后一层层形成的，后来受到侵蚀所致。

　　The granite at the top that forms the mushroom cap-type feature is harder than the colourful sandstone below, hence the brilliant design.

　　烟囱顶部蘑菇帽式的花岗岩比下面的彩色砂岩更为坚硬。

　　Visitors to Cappadocia can see the fairy chimneys in a host of ways. You can hire quad bike tours that can quickly get you around the vast area. For a close-up experience try a horseback tour. There are a host of ranches offering horses and guides, and it makes sense when you consider Cappadocia actually means, Land of the Beautiful Horses.

　　游客前往卡帕多西亚观看“精灵烟囱”有多种方式。你可以租用四轮摩托车，快速速走遍广袤的区域;你也可以骑马前往，这里有很多牧场提供坐骑和向导。实际上，卡帕多西亚就是“骏马之地”的意思。
