#MarchGoodPlaces2025
Jaipur, the Pink City of India, is a very charming city and a very popular tourist destination. There are many representative attractions alone. It would be too difficult to rush around and see them all in one day. The travel agency specially arranged for us to stay in Jaipur for two nights so that we could enjoy the tour in detail.
1. Amer Fort
🕰️Business hours: 0900-1700
💰Ticket price: 200 rupees for foreigners
💞Recommendation reason: Amber Fort, located on the hill, was once the old city of Jaipur. It is composed of many independent palaces, a mixture of Islamic and Hindu styles, and is quite magnificent.
There are many walls in the building decorated with gems and mirrors. The most famous one is the "Mirror Palace". When the sunlight shines on the lenses and gems and causes reflections, the whole castle will sparkle!
2. Jal Mahal
🕰️Opening hours: all day
💰Ticket price: Free
💞Recommendation reason: The building isolated in the artificial lake was originally used as the king's hunting lodge. Later, the water level continued to rise, submerging the lower four floors of the hunting lodge, making it look as if it was floating on the lake. However, the Water Palace is currently in a semi-ruin state and requires a boat to reach it. We just took some photos on the other side, so it was free.
3. Hawa Mahal
🕰️Business hours: 0900-1630
💰Ticket price: 50 rupees for foreigners
💞Recommendation reason: Jaipur’s most representative attractions, and the beautiful check-in photos on Instagram of Internet celebrities! The exterior of the Palace of Winds looks like an exquisite honeycomb and is made up of 395 windows. The entire towering brick-red sandstone building stands on the side of the main road, with an exquisite, majestic and noble design.
4. City Palace
🕰️Opening hours: 0930-1700
💰Ticket price: 200 rupees for foreigners
💞Recommendation reason: One of the best-preserved ancient monuments in India, it is not only the residence of successive Jaipur princes, but the current Jaipur prince and his family still live in the Moon Palace. The palace architecture combines the Indian style of Rajasthan and the Islamic style of the Mughal Dynasty, which is gorgeous and noble.
5. Jantar Mantar
🕰️Business hours: 0900-1630
💰Ticket price: 100 rupees for foreigners
💞Reason for recommendation: India's oldest and largest ancient observatory, with the world's largest sundial and other observation instruments, shows the high wisdom of the ancient Indians. When visiting at noon, the bright sunlight makes the sundial scale more obvious, which really gives it a high-tech feel.
