Eul Goli Park in Tabriz

El-Goli also known as Shah Guli is the name of a large park in Tabriz, where has been the campus of former Qajar Dynasty's Crown Princes. It has an artificial lake surrounded by side walk in four sides. There is also a building in the middle of the lake, with traditional architecture of Tabriz. In South of the lake there is a hill covered by trees. Two beautiful stairways connecting the side walks to the top of the hill. At top of the hill there is a hotel building with modern architecture.
This garden gives you the opportunity to meet locals and breath fresh air while enjoying the green atmosphere around. If you are lucky you may see boat riders who circle around the pool with a drummer whose music takes you to the ancient times!

Built by the designs of the architect Leila Araghian, this silver bridge connects Ab-o-Atash and Taleghani parks, from west to east, separated by a highway in north Tehran.  Construction of this 300 meter long bridge lasted between 2012 and 2014, making it the largest pedestrian bridge in Iran. The bridge consists of a three dimensional truss with two continuous levels that sits on three tree shape columns. There are two platforms on top of the main columns forming the third level viewpoints. All the levels are connected to each other by stairs and multiple ramps, providing multiple paths throughout the bridge to get from each level to another.
