If you draw a line between Hamadan, Kermanshah and then down to Khoram-abad and back, you have what may be called "Golden Triangle" of ancient Persia. Inside it are the following:

- The once seven-walled city of Hamadan itself, high summer capital of the first Persian Emperor, Cyrus the Great
- The treasure-house mounds of Noushijan, Baba Jan, Godin, Giyan, Ganj Dareh and countless other archeological remains, including Harsin, site of the famous "Lorestan Bronzes"
- The 700-year-old potters' village of Lalijan
- The mysterious temple of "Anahita"
- The grottoes of Taq Bostan and bas-reliefs of Bisotun, which are some of the best preserved masterpieces of Persia's artisans

And through this Golden Triangle, once passed "Silk Road" (Silk Route) to China and "Royal Road" of Achaemenian, still good in spots.

Hamadan-Kermanshah area is no doubt one of the most picturesque, scenic and pleasant in all Iran. Its importance as one of the country's richest archeological treasure-houses is complemented by thoroughly inviting and convenient setting.
