In fact, back to Lhasa, July 9, 2000, I have never been to this world's highest city, only from time to time in a dream since childhood to see it, and magically transported over it, and many people asked me if I've been to Lhasa, do not know for what reason, my answer is always I have been to, my heart went.
First arrived in Lhasa, give my first impression is that the town is very small, not really that big, from the appearance point of view entirely an era of reform is just at the beginning of the stage 80. Without too many high-rise, where are able to see the Sichuan Museum, at the corner of the eye inadvertently can Piedao the snow-covered mountainside shrine ---- Abdallah. Lhasa, visiting the night market, night market, I could not utter it's name, we know that in the eastern suburbs, if the big one the night market, as if the general food market built in several rows in a greenhouse, the middle row are selling commodities,
Take along the sidelines are the hot pot and barbecue a few rows, on both sides of the corner is the Kara OK hall, during which mixed with the cries with Sichuan, Chengdu is no wonder that accompanied a friend said the Lhasa feels like back in Chengdu. Indeed, is filled with running the taxi seems to have been mostly Sichuanese in when the driver, later summed up the original town, the taxi ran over by a Sichuanese open, while the long journey Ali, Nagqu vehicle is out - Tibetans driving, because only they are familiar with the road of a long journey.
Bajiao Street, as early as people heard that it is a street in Lhasa, Jokhang Temple and exposure to which brightened up the atmosphere. To the Jokhang Temple, all the way will be able to see the Tibetans gathered in a temple entrance Bobo, each blanket to the ground of what the upper berth, and kneeling in that the non-stop prayers and tried to take pictures, I am sorry, can shoot, but that it dig money, so he went to shoot only to the temple roof. Bajiao Street can be seen everywhere 3 King, one stand,
This is the first from the street around the Jokhang Temple has always been a turn back, both sides are all sold with Tibetan characteristics of art. Small pendant large knives,
Nepal and India, the product is everywhere, and the price is not high, but also point value will be able to happily buy a big bag to go home.
However, the store owner to be more clever than the street vendor, a so-called "nine eyes bead" in the store he was very polite to tell you,
Does not make you money selling your 2300, turn a body outside the shop stalls selling only 23 yuan on a really top university. Second, many people, the streets are not like me back a pack of travelers is the back of the head disk pigtails Kham guy. Khampas stature definitely much better than Ghosts, standing on the streets and the signs are not the same as ever-present moment to remind you to Lhasa啦, Ghosts were dragging a child with a mammal carrying a large bag, far looked like a back Fu, also skilled in Chinese bargain with the street. The third is more than beggars. One is the monks, I met with the same two days in the Barkhor three monks, see my non-stop reaching and mutter prayers Road, where he was where the monks, they have four people, claim to help, please show mercy to open put some blood, that make you more upset. One is children, and Ningbo, they are in the streets chasing you,
Or anxiously clinging to your thighs, aunts and uncles, and forces you to dig RMB, giving him perhaps you will be King one: to such a point?
Everyone seems to Lhasa rich? Later I heard that the lowest income people in Lhasa is 800 yuan per month, I do not know is true or false. Finally a kind of beggars, they do not ask you for money, or at least not too fussy, you are to give him half a can of Coke is required.
Jokhang Temple, there are a long row of wheels, I do not know how to correctly call, so called wheel of. They strung together one by one, a row of writing long, everyone over the wheel when they slap their hands to shoot each round turn, all the way down. The end of a long candlestick, lit a lamp above the butter lamps, Buddhist devotees drilled in the audience, which will hopefully bring good luck.
In downtown Lhasa, many people, mostly the map of the tourists, in the street you can easily and casually accosted a tourist,
And his trips together, but the strange thing is on the street more than Tibetans, at least those who wear the national dress very small, unlike the Nagqu, when the male so much. The hotel is also rather special, big chair has a long article for the newcomers to sit, or to discuss the journey. There are not too small but the location of prominent block blackboard, as long as the tenant can write on Han, and as I live a few numbers called the XXX room, I want to go to Ali, who wish to, please contact me, etc., go a bit area, or in Tibet, in Lhasa, first met 50 years ago, this hotel features.
Potala Palace Square was not large, but because of the inch with Abdallah care, looked very pretty. The Potala Palace itself is no big spectacle
Especially for my non-Buddhist devotees of the people, can only look at the inside of the relics, the Buddha statues can be avoided. On its own terms, the Potala Palace still has its position, no matter what, each standing in front of its people, will be issued from the heart of a baffling, not tell, but there is real Perhaps this is also a kind of feeling of the Tibetan Plateau? Into the palace, there is a very strong taste of butter, which is a major feature of the monasteries in Tibet, because there's lights are used butter as fuel. Potala Palace, the rooms were Trinidad and Tobago, but also into the layer off layer, which is a group of tourists entered into the first layer, on the closed visits, and so we all optimistic about it, and then the first layer, and then closed, and so forth and engage in is not clear why.
In contrast Norbulingka and the Drepung Monastery on the much better, and Norbulingka looks like a park, visitors wander in and out kids get balloons, I am such a tourist, pilgrimage of Tibetans, everyone in that all look at their own systems, all want their own systems, the air very well, especially the Drepung Monastery, the
As a Tibetan monk, one of the largest temples built on the hillside just like medieval town in Europe, there are bridges with alleys, houses on the European-style windows open, stood with colorful flowers, like a small town in Europe.
Basically, there is no altitude sickness in Lhasa, that is a bit much for a strong ultraviolet radiation. Tibetans on the streets is also quite friendly, le, never stopped, law and order is also good, Bajiao Street at intervals of tens of meters there is the police. Development of sex workers in Lhasa, quick, as if someone has a place in this industry
There are a whole street sex industry, it appears tourist city still has its own characteristics.
