棉花堡在土耳其的纺织工业重镇Denizli，位于西南部山区，距离伊兹密尔约二百公里。土文Pamukkale是由Pamuk（棉花）和Kale（城堡）两个字组成的，棉花是指其色白如棉，远看像棉花团，其实是坚硬的石灰岩地形。城堡是说它由整个山坡构成，一层又一层，形状像城堡，故得名棉花堡。
视频文本：
Deep inside the Greco-Roman City of Hierapolis lies the most relaxing and the most visited site in all of Turkey. From a distance, Pamukkale's cascading white pools seem to resemble a castle of fluffy cotton, but upon closer inspection, they reveal themselves to be solid limestone walls housing turquoise, mineral-rich water. The site is fittingly called Pamukkale, which translates to Cotton Castle in Turkish. Housing 17 hot springs, they each range in temperature from 35 degrees to 100 degrees, perfect for soaking in. Pamukkale has been used as a natural bathing spot for centuries, especially since the water in each hot spring is filled with minerals. It was the Greek and Romans who discovered that these minerals potentially hold countless curative properties. According to many, the water brings benefits to the skin, eyes, and can assist with recovery from high blood pressure, making this Cotton Castle a very relaxing place to visit.
