Lebanon is located in southwestern Asia, bordering Syria to the east, Israel to the south, and the Mediterranean Sea to the west.
Lebanon's capital city, Beirut, is a city with stunning scenery and a long history, and is known as the "Little Paris of the Middle East".
Although Lebanon is located on the Arabian Peninsula, it is one of the most Westernized countries in the Middle East. For many years Lebanon was an Arab country with a predominantly Arab Christian population and a balance of power among the various religious denominations.
Lebanon is known globally for its tourism, such as the Mohammed Amin Mosque, the Moussa Mosque, and the Mecca. The Mohammad Amin Mosque, Musa Castle, Pigeon Rock, and Jeddah Cave are some of the most famous tourist destinations in the world.
Mohammad Amin Mosque is located at Martyrs Square in the center of Beirut, Lebanon. It was built by former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri between 2002 and 2007.
Moussa Castle is located 30 kilometers south of Beirut in the Shouf Mountains, and is named after the builder of the castle, Moussa.
The Musa family was recognized for their mastery during the reign of the Mamluk dynasty in 1270, when they were awarded the title of first-class architect.
The Pigeon Rock, located on the Mediterranean coast west of downtown Beirut, is Beirut's natural landmark, famous for its natural hollowed-out caves, and the best place to see the sun set over Beirut.
Jeddah Cave is located at the base of the Lebanon Mountains, 20 kilometers north of Beirut, in a karstic landscape.
Formed over tens of millions of years, the cave is shaped in the form of a Roman church dome, with a net height of more than 80 meters at the very top, and an underground river inside the cave, which is constructed as a natural conduit for the main source of water for the Riqelab River (also known as the Dog River).
Continuing to return to the theme, Xiaoran Pinnacle today focuses on the world-famous historical and cultural heritage of Lebanon above the 50 leva.
The obverse of the 50 leva is the Temple of Kabbas, located in the foothills of the Bekaa Valley, 85 kilometers northeast of the capital, Beirut, in the Baalbek Temple Complex.
The Temple of Baqas was built around 100 AD. On the front stand 8 stone pillars and on each side 15 stone pillars, which are 15 meters high and 2 meters in diameter, and are covered with various elaborate designs.
In 3000 BC, the Canaanites, who worshipped the Sun God, built a temple dedicated to the Sun God, Baal, called "Baal Bek". In the region, Balbek means "Domain of the Sun".
The Temple of Baalbek consists of the Hall of Rituals, the Temple of Jupiter, the Temple of Bacchus, the God of Wine, and the Temple of Venus, the God of Beauty, all of which are made of huge stones and are extremely imposing.
As the best-preserved temple of the Roman era, the Temple of Baalbek was not only the sacred sacrificial center of Rome at that time, but also one of the masterpieces of the heyday of the Roman Empire.
The Temple of Baalbek is the quintessence of Lebanon's ancient architectural art and has been the site of an annual international dance and music festival since 1956.
The temple is surrounded by a high wall of megalithic stones, and the courtyard and the main hall of the temple are built on a pedestal of megalithic stones tens of meters high, 19 to 20 meters long, 4.5 meters wide and 3.6 meters thick, the heaviest of which can reach 2000 tons.
From the entrance you enter the Hall of Sacrifice, which is 104.5 meters long and 103 meters wide. In the 4th century AD the Roman Emperor Diodosius had built a rectangular Christian church here, but the back wall was destroyed. The original 128 large granite pillars in the hall of the stone corridor has been beams and columns broken, scattered all over the place.
One of the Temple of Jupiter is the oldest, largest and most majestic one in the Roman complex of Baalbek.
The Temple of Jupiter was built in 60 A.D., with 54 round stone pillars, the tops of the pillars and the pillars are connected by stone mortise and tenon, and there are many majestic lion head sculptures carved on the beams, which are the best-preserved buildings in the Temple of Jupiter.
Later, the Temple of Jupiter was largely destroyed by earthquakes, leaving only six giant pillars in a row. These columns were 20 meters high and 2.3 meters in diameter, and were made of three columns.
On the back of the 50 levs is the Lebanese Castle of Tripoli, also known as the "Old Crusader Castle".
Tripoli is the capital of Lebanon's Northern Province and Lebanon's second-largest city, with 3500 years of history.
Tripoli Castle, longer than 140 meters and wider than 70 meters, is located on a hill in the city, established during the Mamluk dynasty from 1294 to 1314, and is the oldest castle in Lebanon. It is the oldest castle in Lebanon.
