Not far from Mehrabad International Airport, there stands a huge arched monument witnessing the drastic change of Iran in 1979.

Planning a trip to Iran means that you will be travelling to a land that is very different from Hong Kong, so it's important to do some research beforehand. Firstly, please put on your hijab before leaving the plane.

In the mysterious Persian Empire, Xiao Zhao from The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber left Zhang Wuji whom she loves and has promised to serve forever for her missions.

The Persian Empire once dominated the entire Middle East and the backbone of the entire Silk Road. It was also one of the few great empires that were able to fight against Sparta, a prominent city-state in ancient Greece. Many camel caravans started their business journey from Persia to China for expensive silk and porcelain, which were then sold to other countries. This magnificent empire’s capital city was Persepolis, meaning the capital of the Persians. 

Bazaars are of cultural significance in the Islamic world. They, together with mosques, are the central feature of daily life in Islamic Middle-Eastern and Central Asian countries along the Silk Road. Bazaars in the Middle East are like night markets in Taiwan, creating a distinct cultural vibrancy. Persia, as the commercial centre of the Silk Road, surely had busy bazaars in her important cities. Tehran Grand Bazaar has been the best among all.

The centre of this historic city has Chehel Sotoun erected. Chehel Sotoun is the former palace for Persian kings. After Shah Abbas the Great moved the capital city to Isfahan, Shah Abbas II built this majestic palace in this trading hub in the 17th century for handling national affairs and receptions of foreign officials. The bewitching Persian gardens of the palace attracted many foreign officials and business visitors.
