太子城是馬來西亞任期最長、最重要、幫助馬來西亞發展最多的首相——馬哈迪（Mahatir bin Mohamad）一手打造的。這個前衛的概念沒有花到馬來西亞人民一毛錢，因為在他把政府單位牽過來時，原來的辦公大樓也對外出租，也就是盡量司法院的錢蓋司法院、財政部的錢蓋財政部。
The city Putrajaya, which is built during the period of the 4th prime minister Mahatir bin Muhammad, is currently the administrative capital of Malaysia. Its relationship with Kuala Lumpur is probably like DC and New York.

回到我們粉紅色的主題，粉紅清真寺以玫瑰大理石為主要建材，從背面可以看到她的地基是建在湖上，所以又稱水上清真寺。
不過背面似乎要跑到很遠的地方才能照相，我後來是在行進中的車子上看到的，所以這部份就沒有美照了。
The Putra Mosque there is all made of rose marble, which apparently makes it very pink and therefore bear the name of "the pink mosque ". And as it was constructed on a lake, it is also called "the mosque on water".

東亞的民眾大概對伊斯蘭教比較不了解，接下來介紹清真寺的參拜方式。
要進入清真寺，男生必須穿長褲，女生要包緊緊，一般觀光客如果不合格的話可以在門口借到粉紅色的長袍。本來我還期待自己可以成為一個美麗的伊斯蘭婦女（不討論什麼女性主義的議題，我其實一直覺得伊斯蘭婦女包起來很漂亮），沒想到長袍造型有點像是雨衣的概念，不太優。
門口須知另外也有提到來經婦女不應進入，雖然實際上可能難以檢查，也沒有檢查的步驟存在，但我想大家還是尊重規定，不要做一些可能算是褻瀆的事情才好。
進入「大殿」（我不知道是不是這樣稱呼...）之前要脫鞋。另外補充一下，如果要拜訪伊斯蘭教徒朋友的家裡，不脫鞋也是非常沒有禮貌的行為。
To enter a mosque, a man has to wear pants that cover all the way down; a woman should of course wrap herself up. Inappropriate visitors can borrow a pink cloak by the front desk.
A woman who is having her period is also not allowed to enter. There is no check-point for that though, I think we should be respectful to visit.
Remember to take off your shoes before entering the main dome. It is also considered to be very impolite if you enter a house of a Muslim but not to take off your shoes.

伊斯蘭教因為不拜偶像，所以清真寺內部基本上就是空空如也，只有柔軟的地毯和美麗的雕刻。裡面看到有人在祈禱，清真寺會朝麥加的方向蓋好，所以朝那邊拜就沒錯了。
Muslims do not worship idols, so there is only beautiful anaglyph inside.

寺方人員教我們祈禱的姿勢是像這樣，表示攤開一本可蘭經。
One staff of the mosque taught us their gesture for praying, which is to show your hands like an open book. That, represents the Quran.

寺方人員的制服也非常可愛。The staffs.
最後同場加映，粉紅清真寺的旁邊就是綠綠的首相府。
Finally, right beside the Pink Mosque is the green Prime Minister Office.
