Less than a 6:00 am wake up, and parents to take me to the airport. Speaking a little bit funny, but not abroad, but also parents to send, but they persist in this way, I also had to agree. In the waiting time to see several young people, seem like a self-service travel, and they are more than up, I feel the equipment is very naive. In order not to increase the burden, I only brought a fool camera, a pair of ordinary shoes, washed the clothes with very little.

7:50 plane took off on time, in the middle has to stop, Xi'an and Xining, each place must be stopped for more than half an hour, the time I got to Lhasa is a 15:00. Get off the airplane, and there is no discomfort, and could feel the air is very cool, and very fresh. But do not take a few steps down to see a foreigner on the tarmac, surrounded by a large circle surrounded by people, then remind yourself to be careful. The airport entrance there are many buses to Lhasa, Shigatse and Shannan are available here. I boarded a train to Lhasa, the Civil Aviation (25 million), the driver is very enthusiastic, will help you put luggage in the car in front of a few seats on the put away. There are a long way on the road were opened along the Brahmaputra, is not the wet season, but I have felt that the river is very wide. Brahmaputra water is very clear, Fan Chu slightly blue-green, surrounded by mountains, looking at the mountains and rivers, I believe this he is come to the right. Sure enough, in Tibet is very dry, always felt like to drink. After a Qushui the bridge did not take long, I fell asleep in the car, hit his head on the window do not know how much the next.

5:00 when the vehicles are more than the urban area, first along the path Kim, after the Qinghai-Tibet, Sichuan-Tibet Highway Monument and the Tibetan Museum. Lhasa, the road width than I imagined, but not many traffic lights, plus there are many tricycles, it feels a bit chaotic. Then you see the Potala Palace, though there have been countless from the photo to see it on television appearance, I was amazed at its grandeur, it's like a giant upright, like in the town, silently watching everything around. The car stopped on the road in the mother hot air hotels, go far south of Beijing Guaige Wan Road. I started carrying luggage to go for a while, and later feel a little tired, do not know how far away from the hotel, so called by a tricycle pulling me to the auspicious date hotel (4 million). I was aware of the famous online auspicious day, which in Lhasa's old city, surrounded by a bit messy, imagine me not the same. For safety considerations, I would like a single room (50 million), where housing money is paid once a day, there are free laundry, downstairs there is a cafe, that is my room a little bit far away from the toilet. Decoration of the room are Tibetan, the beds are clean, but it's got windows, air leakage. Open the luggage and found those who were sealed in plastic bags, Zhang De swelling, light bulb eyes filled with pills, too, do not know because of the oxygen pocket more reasons than outside. Dinner in the nearby a little bit to eat and a bit抄手Chuandong (4 million), although not put spicy, but the taste is fairly prevalent, made me feel very comfortable. Today journey tired, I can not go to bed 8, and the outside is still very bright days. But all night, sleep well, my room depend on the road until late at night can hear cars come to the sound. To midnight began to feel shortness of breath, and some headaches, threw up the dinner came. I think this is a reaction to high altitudes, can be considered normal.

April 26 Lhasa

Morning, woke up about 10 points, it is sunny outside, but my head is still sore, so he slept until 13 o'clock to get up, ate at what's to go out. Lhasa, the road marking are not too obvious, so a map can only see one about. I along Beijing East Road, go west, but also in an intersection south Shui, went to the Jokhang Temple. Along the street was the first turn full circle, because now there is no shopping intention, we only looked rough.

3:00 or so by taxi to the Nepalese Consulate General (10 million), paid a photograph and 255 yuan (30 U.S. dollars), said that tomorrow, you can retrieve the passport and visa. Consul of Nepal is a very warm person, describes a Tibetan named Lydia, who said he had car can go camphor wood. Mr. Lydia, who seems also operates a restaurant, would say in English and Nepali, of course, I should also say that Tibetan and Chinese. I do not know because the one we started to say English or what other reasons, anyway, when I said he did not respond in Chinese, I can only communicate in English with him. I do not know that tomorrow can get a visa, so I told him not to talk about the details of car rental. Consul also introduced him to open the hotel in Kathmandu, a friend, saying that living there can give me discount. That name is a guest house Hotel Dynasty, I think it should be very expensive, not necessarily live there. He also told me that if they drink too much water before going to bed but will not sleep and headaches, I had heard this and drink plenty of water can reduce the reaction to high altitudes surprisingly different.

Far out from the consulate is Norbulingka (tickets 25 yuan). Norbulingka is the Dalai Lama's summer palace, which means precious garden Norbulingka east, west, golden Linca, building mainly by Gesang Phodrang, gold is quite a long time quite Dadan Ming Zhang and Zhang 3 Palace form. I just joined the Park, it did not see anyone, and later in Gesang Phodrang encountered a tour guide with a few foreign tourists, we follow them and listen to explain. The chapter was informed quite a long time come and murals from the monkey, there is a great surprise in the bathroom tub and toilet. Stroll in the garden when the snow has been, when big, sometimes small. When out of the start was intended to take the CMB, but a child pestering me for money, so scared I had jumped into a taxi back to the hotel (10 million).

Back at the hotel then out of the sun, shining on the surrounding hills had just put on white, a bit dazzling. Although only 6 points, but I do not know why they felt very tired, without food dinner and slept. Or sleep at night is not very good, I feel a headache.
