Sell tickets said 1:30 am to close, then open the door at 3:30 pm (actually 1:00 in the morning close, 3:30-6:00 pm), had felt the morning of the lack of time, but I think it can be closed at noon hide which did not come out, so he bought a ticket. A lot of steps on the ticket came to the Tibetan areas, found that their fare is 1 yuan, 40 yuan and we are, it appears to "enjoy" the treatment of foreign guests.

On the left side of the wall into the White House is the fifth Dalai Lama's fingerprints, to be followed through the Maitreya Buddha, Mandala Temple, Most Excellent Three Realms Temple, which does not care fall of the East Hall of sunlight. Some of the things hall understand that some do not understand, but fortunately, most are Tibetan, Chinese and English text description of three. Le Meridien is a VI does not disappear with the Dalai Lama and chambers, think of the romantic poet de Bergerac story, can not help heart health with emotion. Read the VII, after the Dalai Lama came to Tongzhi Emperor pagoda inscription, "Fukuda wonderful fruit," Goddess of Mercy Temple St., this hall tree Zhugongzhantan natural appearance of the concept of audio-visual world itself as the Potala Palace Main St. Zunxiang. After another several holy stupa and the palace to the king of self-cultivation holes later, this hall there is a drying furnace is used Songtsan, enthusiastic monks introduced the statue inside the cave at all.

Lausanne, led us to find well-intentioned affairs and are on duty, Wei-color Lama Phuntsok, they agreed to let us continue in the afternoon to visit. We went to the Deyang summer resting place beside the door the afternoon and so had no idea that after a few minutes Puncog recruited Na Yuechi on people, telling us to continue with their visit. In fact they do not want us to wait that long, so give us a privileged exception. While we wanted to afternoon, more than inside a while, but one look at them so well-intentioned, and difficult to get such an opportunity, just like they had gone.
Phuntsok first collar we have seen just east of sunlight falling Palace, and then we say they want the golden dome, so they go Zhaoyao Chi Phuntsok, when we saw a few other people also receive Hall. Phuntsok, after each of us brought the key required to pay a 10 yuan ticket money on the Golden Summit, but also a pass Kuangpai, during a chat with the Puncog Council, found that although the appearance of indifference Puncog actually very easy to exchange , in order to receive even delayed lunch we visited. And Phuntsok photo and promised to send him, and put it on Puncog Youji We brought the golden dome of the vote.
Out of the door, we have put up a tripod camera, after a while the old Karmapa Lama down the hole, and we chatted for a long time, during which talk to the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama, Tibetan separatist and so on, so we have some idea of Tibetans Learn. See the change of civilian clothes during Phuntsok down to the relatives to visit a sick sister, I hope she was an early recovery.

To the Drepung front of the T-junction, the driver told us to continue to be free of charge up to enter. Thus eliminating the need for 25 yuan tickets.
Rain Rusi, first Shitoku central Zhacang, then to Mount Zhacang fruit, and asked whether there is a Living Buddha Lama here The answer was yes, we want him introductions Living Buddha, his face has Nanse hesitant. Finally agreed to lead us to see the old Drepung Lama. Went to the hall, see Zhong Lama Cuoqin recitation, but dare not disturb the living Buddha. Lead us to the lama (Brazzaville River) said that after the end of such 14 o'clock recitation took us to the Living Buddha residence, so I, and Z stroll Cuoqin hall, A river with the cloth to the fruit Mans Zhacang. There is the town-hall Cuoqin Temple treasure - the Buddha used Triton placed a Jampa Buddha neck. Fortunate to see the Lama-hall meals, eat rice, sub-rice were used both hands and by those with the convenience of bags, and then bowl food. Feel fun, went straight to the kitchen, chef room is also very fun, unfortunately camera take 15 yuan, Xiangui did not shoot. II, the Dalai Lama returned to the pagoda-hall find no Zhongseng recitation before the end, so look for fabrics Jiben fruit Mans Zhacang River.

Living Buddha, after listening to our situation quickly got up and put on his vestments Tai hall, and we salute a gift, Living Buddha and later returned to take over Hada chanting us, then asked the name of Tibetan living Buddha for us to play the final after their photo with the Buddha thanks say goodbye. Throughout, the Living Buddha has been a kind gentle attitude towards us that there is a little tired, a little English but he will not and can not exchange.
Buddha farewell came after the Bush-Jiang took us to his "company" - a small shop, turned out he was a little boss, lamas actually have to do business. We drink tea and eat in this chat, once again took us by surprise that the Bush-Jiang said that he is actually a living Buddha - Fruit Mountain Zhacang of the Living Buddha, his name is Puncog shardan monk. The Living Buddha to open stores with BP machine, claiming to be 26-year-old document written 34 years old. Not I do not understand, or I do not understand. But the Bush-Jiang is very polite, for every highly respected lamas after he would want to stand up to pay tribute. After a break with the Bush-Jiang photo say good-bye.
Bid farewell to Bush-Jiang Coqen hall again and this time the practice hall with monks do not allow visits, waiting for entry to the monks Dianwai laughter rumbling, was very lively. After all we are on the roof Lama Rudian peek.
When the time came to Abaza warehouse late Dianmen is closed, but go to the snow-capped mountains Dianding shoot, Sunning of the Buddha set up. And then to the mountain to see rock art, rock art here is to be more than salads, but also look even better. Temple put it up for a taxi to return to spend only 15 yuan fare.

To the capsule profile (hall of turning around the Temple Road) turn a lap later, we invited four of the above two and a collar by the monks to eat Bazan. 7 individuals to eat one meal a Tibetan meal and spent 182 yuan, not cheap, but the taste can be. Then we went to a 7 is called "the national song and dance hall in Lhasa" in Lang Ma (Tibetan song and dance hall), dance hall business is good, customers are almost all Tibetans, without the Tibetan leader, and may not be thought of tourists come here . Here is a true Tibetan style, there is one called "heap harmonic" Tap-like song and dance is very interesting, a performer's skill is not in general. Tibetans are very friendly around with our table to fight a gang of high school students also frequently drank a toast to us. Only that we also do not understand that the people on stage and say, almost the same as the foreigner.
Until late at night only from the Lang Ma out of the Jokhang Temple have been locked the door, Publius had no choice but to eight times with the cable gallery science, Basang to his relatives.
