Last night safe and sound, no altitude sickness, but probably sleep over at noon until 15:00 before sleep, occasionally waking up, feeling a little sluggish breathing, sleeping position after the replacement not be affected much.

Morning and a bowl of noodles, Sichuan, very comfortable. 9:00 I packed my things went straight to the Jokhang Temple. As the square in front of the Jokhang Monastery is decorated Terakado When we looked around some clutter around the Jokhang Temple is the famous Barkhor, and I did not come to stroll the intention to later separate "procurement", said very few people do not Barkhor those alley house lost, Oh, I just try.

Entered the right side of Jokhang Temple Pianmen do not need tickets, into a compound, on the second and third floors and without tickets, but if is to visit the ground floor, into the famous "Jue health" Buddhist temple, you need to buy 25 yuan tickets. Surprising is that there is no punch tickets to the Jokhang Temple and other procedures that can be used repeatedly, xixi, which made me once again cruise the Jokhang Temple mentioned agenda, Hehe. (However, this does not seem ethical ~ ~)

Into the ground floor, place a small episode. I have just entered an open-air courtyard, look like a lama who went up to ask whether it is necessary guides, and his very non-standard Mandarin, I think his expression barely understand, does not want to go with him, a quick come here do have some committed confused, go with him, I also suspect possible fraud. Carefully to a number of butter lamps lit in every possible way after "Jue health" Buddhist temple at the door, held him in a long while the door slowly opened the door to deep red, the other a middle-aged lama monks dressed in traditional red suit, standing on the deep hall door. Looking towards hall looked, I could not help but gasped, dim lighting, magic-like color murals and silk weaving, as well as kinds of bottomless mystery to it. More frightening is the inside of a person does not appear, empty Sound from the Dark bursts, when the foot entered the door, the heart within a few seconds to switch a few thoughts, I think of certain people say all the Tibetans and lamas "barbaric act" and "terrorist activities" even more chilling, and hurried to the next to the sound Lama said, "I go out to see", quickly fled the area. After the panic out of going against "U-turn by the way" to go around in a circle, surrounded by the past, all Tibetans, no one Han Chinese, thinking that is really a ghost place.

Stabilize the mood began to size up from the temple, the Jokhang Monastery, the bottom few tourists, the vast majority of local believers, Buddhist temple before the stone has been grinding for nothing left knee pilgrims shiny. Examines what four weeks of "terrain", I moved out of tripod, and put on 24-85 in the first begin four game, the Jokhang Temple is a semi-open structure, most parts of the illumination is not high, so a tripod is a must. I began to try to do the exchange with a number of Tibetans hope that they will be my shooting targets out of them circulated by the mystique is always very attractive photographer. Unfortunately, before leaving to learn a lot of Tibetan almost forgotten, even the "le" This familiar greeting is also thrown to the back of the head, speaking really ashamed ah ~~~~~

Tibetans in and the exchange of the process, found that many still quite friendly and co-ordination, which first entered the temple to frighten me heart greatly reduced. Many children pestering me for money, generally a few cents more than ready to be able to cope with the small change (in Tibet is said to allow each other to find money for charity), there are some people, very strong economic sense, you have to give money to give his picture, is generally 5 bar, I ran into one, do not care for him on the line啦.

In order not to disturb being proactive, I have support from a tripod, plug in the shutter line, fitted to do if nothing had happened to glance right and left, using the corner of the eye saccade scene, and then wait for an opportunity rather than pressing the shutter line, this mode of Emmanuel enough, to capture some of the more natural scenarios.

Open-air courtyard at the bottom next to the stone Zhu encountered a pair of ragged huddle on the floor of the father and daughter, when I proposed shooting requirements, they readily agreed, and teenage daughter nestled in his father's shoulders, dark little face residues are not Magan Jing discharge from the nose and the faint of tears, while the father showed his simple smile, at this moment I am almost moved to tears. This is the Tibetan compatriots strike, maybe they were very poor, living bitter, but they are very happy, very simple.

I take photographs in the Jokhang Monastery, attracting a lot of curious Tibetans, young and old, I have a great degree to the viewfinder to take them before, and even zoom to see them, but fortunately did not encounter heard about "Tibetan children like to use Lens hand touch "sort of troubling.

Climbed up the roof of the Jokhang Temple, it was noon, visitors are scarce can be afar from the top of the Potala Palace, Potala Palace is an excellent location filming, unfortunately, is that today's sky is a bit dark, dark clouds numerous. Encountered on the top floor of a 18-year-old boy lama, he and I chatted up, but also very speculative, and the opportunity to shoot a number of Zhang.

Today, using a Konica century color 100, the last in Dalian and the wolf with the buy. Filmed using two volumes of 24-85, after 75-300 replaced the head, down to the Jokhang Temple on the second floor they shoot close-ups of a few monks, and then retreat, this time the sky Piaoqi a light rain, a good income equipment, it was 3:30 am, a full four hours spent in the Jokhang Temple! !

Came out from the Jokhang Temple, sitting vehicles, manpower tricycles to the Potala Palace, hidden under the small-2 (triple fare), he operated a "Shangri-La Crafts Store", living and Happy life, 20 yuan / hour Internet access fees could stop his enthusiasm for the Internet, the walls hung two LEVIS T-shirt, signed over the top of the Sina Tourism Forum and photography forums User name, including the famous "walking non-stop," and so, feeling very warm and The.

From the possession of a small two out, went to Beijing East Road, on several well-known twisted my hostel, including the sub-boarding houses, hostels and auspicious day for eight Lang Xue Hotel. In which the major foreign-related sub-hostel. I reported that a glimmer of hope went and looked passenger lists, hoping to find vanvan, but have disappointed, cell phones also can not get through, I am completely desperate, and the only one Meet friends on the way into Tibet lost contact.

Several hotels in front of BBS post board is very useful and very interesting, the top covered with travelers from around the world self-help information on the recruitment travel companion, because of Tibet's highway traffic is not convenient, a lot of car rental to the local needs. Like if I go to that wood right or wrong, the need to find someone to go, paste in the above posts and leave contact information, will soon hand to respond to, and is indeed very convenient, it is very easy to get to know some new friends, this should be Tibet tourism a major feature of bar!

Tibet's second day, he has traveled a day, a little tired, tonight must have a good sense ah ~~~~~~~~~~
