August 9
To Lhasa every day, sleep more than nine, and today was no exception. Possession of a small two person told me that the pace of life here is slow, it seems a mere few days, I have become somewhat lazy啦.
Am watching TV and heard all of the Zheng He's "Back to Lhasa", that desolate and high-pitched singing in their hearts stirred up a powerful resonance, if the first arrived in Lhasa these days is still relatively calm mind, then when the song in high school sung by our old songs made me feel an upsurge of emotion and excited.
Sometimes dreams really feel reminding us of scenes, Tibet, and this piece of Shenshan Holy Land on my side, I would reach their graceful postures, Jiao good Yurong, which is a kind of nature, what a gift ah! Li Na of that song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau," a long time lingering in my ears, get rid of beautiful and ancient legends.
By afternoon, Drepung, located in the western suburbs of Lhasa, is the largest temple, said to have thousands of monks in it self-cultivation. It is located in the southern slope of David Wu Zi Shan, the temple construction area of about 200,000 square meters! Group floor overlooking Carado sections scales ratio, winds from the hillside, the Yiu Kim Young chalk, Xiongqi spectacular, like a beautiful mountain town.
Prior to Drepung to listen to the locals said it was more "dangerous" place, not only because it is far away from urban areas, remote terrain, but also heard that when the 89 Drepung unrest in order to quell unrest, killing many monks, so they hated in mind, and await the revenge, in previous years, there have been tourists have been killed on the tragedy. Worse still pass under the tunnel leading to the Potala Palace, Drepung Monastery, and containing a large number of firearms and ammunition, blowing incredible risk by his insurance, make my trip to Drepung tales of a somewhat "tragic" and mean .
Drepung tickets 30 yuan, there is no student tickets, playing here from the urban area to 15 to 20 yuan, China and Pakistan are also accessible to 2 yuan fare.
Few tourists come to Drepung, for safety sake, I followed a foreign tour. Climb the stairs and quite difficult, this is a mountain plateau will appear in physiological conditions, but with the body to adapt quickly returned to normal. I do not know what cause, Drepung Monastery monks thousands of people within the minority, but today they did not see a few? However, very experienced and friendly, does not seem as frightening legend. Chin's basilica that was the wrong monks also enthusiastic to me Let's talk about the past of Tibetan Buddhism, Buddha, Buddha is Buddha and in the future, I also know little about this, with his communication, despite the language barrier, but lower than hand-drawn feet, and is pretty interesting.
Zhe mussels and other temples in Tibet, as not many open to visitors, but mostly not allowed to take pictures, but the temple at the entrance hall are a number of writes: "if you want to photograph, you must pay 20 yuan", only the in English, no English version! It is not to be understood as the camera fee requirement is only used to bind to foreign tourists it? I am too busy to think much and just pressed the shutter, there is no cause illness.
Interestingly, a lama picked up a Canon 58MM lens cover, a new, probably look at me packages of more "professional" bar, then take the initiative to put the lid over to me, so I went to help find owner of lost property. Oh, promise a great Drepung Monastery, who I lost on where to find the lens cap? ? Well exactly, 58MM with my 75-300 of the head, blunt appropriating啦~~~~~
I just started into the hall see more detail (although almost nothing can not read ~) and, subsequently, cursory of paying attention only to find Lama photographs. The greatest regret is that Tibet did not take two or more of the body, interchangeable lenses is very convenient, thus increasing their own lazy, and used 24-85's head, so close-up lens is not too much. The greatest advantage with two body can be installed inverted, or black and white, like one of my aircraft, with a volume of 5 black and white do not have the opportunity to shoot up to now because I am black and white color film for the creative desire to relatively smaller , an attraction it may be 12 bar.
Drepung down does not end when the head hit a girl, but also carrying a tripod hanging guns, wearing a glasses, a round hat covered his face. And she brushed past, we see each other, dressed in Xiangshiyixiao, she is planning to walk down the mountain, I hesitated a moment, is to sit down and do the CMB, or up and this pretty little girl sharing a little bit? If we were all photography enthusiasts, but also unaccompanied travel, Oh, when an impulse to want to keep up with the girl, and for me Unfortunately, minibus temptation even greater physical and mental fatigue, leaving only a little for themselves " regret "over the.
Back later found out that my mirror on the scattered UV has been a horrendous dirty. Come up with guys, first under the lens of paper rubbing of the two, no. Cast a lens of water, cotton swabs to take reasonable again, after the re-use lens paper to be dry rub, rub, the worse the more turned out, was not a dirty look! I had no choice but to move out of a piece of cloth, use it to toiling for nearly an hour, side Give me back my camera true colors, really makes tired! !
