Today, going to the airport to receive the second batch arrived in Lhasa companion, so 6:30 on an early Qile Chuang, relative Lhasa later than two hours of rest in the Mainland, and I almost had set foot in the middle of the night to greet a friend road.
The first ray of morning light has begun to gradually dyed white, far from the sky, sitting in the car heading to the airport, I kept looking out the window he turned the fascinating scenery. Changing the early morning sun, in the distant mountains, near the woods along the highway side of the Lhasa river flowing slowly sketched out the transformation without square pattern. Ordinary day seem bland khaki-colored hills are shrouded with a layer of strange pink, combined with light and dark and white layers of the river, and bordered by a beautiful forest in Phnom Penh, so I was reluctant to blink an eye, for fear of missing per a beautiful moment.
Friends in order to catch up with the early morning plane got up early, had just arrived in Lhasa on the matter regardless of land slept. The afternoon, the two claimed that has adapted to altitude sickness, so he went along with the famous pilgrimage to Drepung Monastery. Car hit a taxi driver to get to know a warm Tashi, we talk to him a good price of 350 yuan package under his car the next day to Shannan.
Drepung Monastery is located halfway up the mountain on the outskirts of Lhasa, to a time when quite troublesome. Never imagined, in the box office for ticket Lama moderate but firmly tell us that the temple is not open to the afternoon. Is this to go? Of course, absolutely not. So the trio drums, such as spring clever tongue, begging, finally moved the ticket of the monks agreed to let us go. Good monks simply a good man to do in the end, do not take the money of our two tickets, so we are overjoyed. Many thanks about it, I excitedly jumped into the built the largest temple in Tibet.
Drepung Monastery was the first to the fourth Dalai Lama, Dalai Lama, spiritual development lies in the Tibetan Buddhism, the status of extraordinary, allegedly the largest when it was more than 7,000 monks. Temple of the road twists and turns deep, if not hanging around the "visit this out" as the signposts, you may already lost in this ancient temple in the. Because the monks came to self-cultivation of the time, so almost all the temple's Buddhist temple hall tightly closed, unable to appreciate the mysterious Tibetan Buddhism is profound, rather regret that. But we still lucky to have encountered an old lama, who enthusiastically lead the way for us has been given to the highest point us to the temple dedicated to a strong Pakistan before the Buddha's seat. Jampa Buddha actually say that we are familiar with Buddha, but in Tibetan Buddhism, his appearance has changed a lot, at least it bare belly disappeared, and has become dominated by the future Buddha in Tibetan Buddhism the supreme Buddha. Another old lama temple from the white conch in a number of holy water poured out in our palm, let's drink to indicate that the remaining holy water and then painted in his forehead, said it would ward off illnesses among disaster.
Farewell amiable old lama, we are ready to leave this ancient temple. Downhill walk in the way, we encountered a group of Tibetan women call it a day to go home, they continue to smile to us and give us repeat, "Hello," "le," "Good-bye," We are dismayed that their enthusiasm were moved. We have also been reported to them with a smile, give them a say "le," to say "goodbye" until the other side of the figure disappeared from sight. How honest and hospitable people.
This afternoon, we are Drepung only three visitors, and we felt inexplicable pride. Out of the temple, discovered that a real question before us is: how do we return to urban areas? Walking is obviously too idealistic. Glance right and left of the occasion, suddenly found one of two people sitting just off-road vehicles, then stepped forward to demand yes-ride, the driver take a look at us coldly shook his head and drove off. Disappointed, I consoled myself: good to have so that we can not hit you?

After days leaves people a way out, on the way down encounters a taxi, safe return to the urban areas.
