3. Photo #1 by Fr Maxim Massalitin 美麗的黑海懸崖燕窩城堡
Although the Swallow’s Nest castle high on the cliff above the beautiful Black Sea has
become an icon for Crimea, Crimea is so much more than a castle or resorts along the
Black Sea. Here are some of Crimea’s amazing natural wonders and ancient ruins.
4. The Swallow’s Nest castle high on the cliff above the beautiful
Black Sea has become an icon for Crimea, Ukraine. But the
Crimea you hear about now involves the Ukraine crisis.
燕窩城堡高聳在美麗的黑海懸崖,已成為烏克蘭克里米亞的圖
標。但你聽到的有關克里米亞,現在正涉及到烏克蘭危機。
We became curious about what else does Crimea look like,
besides a castle? Here are some of what we found; here are
amazing natural wonders in Crimea, gorgeous landscapes and
seascapes, places with so many caves that they are known as
cave towns, as well an ancient ruins that go back to medieval
times.
我們開始好奇,除了一座城堡,克里米亞還有什麼可看?我們
發現了下面一些地方:有克里米亞旖旎的自然奇觀,華麗的風
景和海洋景觀,與他們被稱為洞穴鎮地方的很多洞穴,還有一
個可以追溯到中世紀時期的古老遺跡。

Crimean natural places entered into Ukraine’s top 100 Natural Wonders. National Geo
listed Crimea as one of the best trips in 2013.
6. It’s said that about 60% of Crimea’s population is Russian, since Crimea was part of
Russia until it was ceded to Ukraine in 1954 by the Soviet Union. You may have heard
that in the news, but we want to show you beauty and not strife. Did you know that
Crimea has a Grand Canyon? This is one of the waterfalls in the Crimean Grand Canyon.

Crimea. Chersonesus “is an ancient Greek colony founded approximately 2,500 years
ago in the southwestern part of the Crimean Peninsula. The ancient city is located on
the shore of the Black Sea at the outskirts of Sevastopol on the Crimean Peninsula of
Ukraine, where it is referred to as Khersones. It has been nicknamed the ‘Ukrainian
Pompeii’ and ‘Russian Troy’.” Photo #15 by Dmitry A. Mottl

20. Chufut Kale 和 Mangup Kale 都是洞穴鎮。 Kale 的意思是「堡壘」,Mangup 是最大
的洞穴堡壘。有古代的防禦牆,現在的廢墟,依然屹立在 Mangup 鎮上。有些洞穴還用
作為寺院或廟宇。
Both Chufut Kale and Mangup Kale are cave-towns. Kale means “fortress” and Mangup
is the biggest cavern fortress on the Crimean peninsula. There are ancient defensive
walls, now ruins, still standing in Mangup. There are also caves, some still used as
monasteries or temples. The biggest and the most unique cave is “Baraban Koba. There
is a column inside it, and if you hit it, it makes a drumming sound.” The photographer
called this Mangup shot, “A stone apartment.” Photo #18 by Nikolai Vassiliev

34. The area around Crimea has seen many wars over the centuries and has many ruins.
The photographer wrote, “This photo was taken during a hike nearby Sudak. The hills
were gently rounded and the landscape was somewhat similar to that presented in
‘Fallout’ video games (out-of-order gas stations, giant rusted tanks etc., no people at all).
We came upon something looking like a small, abandoned farm. The place was so
perfectly and precisely ruined it looked almost like a movie set! It seemed that the only
inhabitants were this cow and a pig, resting in mud nearby.” Photo #32 by Lukasz Kryger
