    The Zayandehrood River

    Posted by elisreeh 22 August 2006

    The river has green and beautifully arranged parks alongside it, with big trees all the way, which you can walk under to enjoy the shade (necessary in summer). There is a lot of water in the river, surprisingly, since the city is situated in the desert. It was once a stop on the silk way to China and some of the bridges are from the 16th and 17th century. Their architecture is outstanding.

    Walking along the Zayandeh-Rud might lead you to 2 famous bridges (pol): The Khadju Pol & the Si-O-Seh pol, all places the Iranians' particularly appreciate for evening familly ballads. You might smoke a Khalium or have a tea in the tea house located under the arches of the Si-o-Seh.

    Extend your ballad to the Bagh-e Pr Pope (Pr Pope Park), and the mosoleum where Arthur Upham Pope and his Wife Phyllis Ackerman are buried. The 2 American scientists were thanked and honored by Iran for their life spent dedicated to make Iran rediscover its cultural heritage.
