Because it is the afternoon in Lhasa, walking on the road in Beijing, when the days have been the evening, not too big on the streets filled with crowded and scattered emotions, four-wheeled, three wheeled, two-wheeled car; Gelv, and grass-strand, the short-sleeve, the jacket folder; the litter, plastic bags, sewage on the ground; it all with your own imagination too far behind. Along the street is different from the shop, although there is no night in the magnificent neon is still no lack of joy of spring bars and dance halls. Place in them feel that it is not on the plateau, it seems as though in a modern city, Lhasa, nights are still the same license and noisy. Of course, the masters of the night in Lhasa is not Tibetan, but those passing through, people who do not have roots and spirituality have been very indifferent in their hearts, touched in their hearts have been very boring, but at the height of his in the parking lot, avoiding consumption.
The morning is truly the holy city of Lhasa. 7:00 multiple (equivalent to the Mainland, a five-point) to get up, the sky the stars are still shining, although the flickering of the lights in the morning breeze shivering in the streets there is the flow of people one after another. The difference is that the overwhelming majority of Tibetans, dressed in thick clothing, men, woman, old, small, carrying luggage, a family and with the mouth, holding dog. Although the dress different, but basically waving a turning wheel and Buddha bead, while walking consecration of scripture, there is no distinction or, only the same piety. Turning the route there are three, the most external one is around the Jokhang Temple, Chakpori, the Potala Palace, Ramoche turn circle, there should be more than a dozen kilometers, this road is usually a maximum of the morning, to 11: 00 people on the rare. Turn around the Jokhang Temple in the middle of the temple in the morning the faithful more tourists during the daytime, basically. Most years the Jokhang Temple inside the circle is by turning the channel, devout believers in turn released by the exhausted on the line up to worship at home Muni Fo like, more than 100 meters line, about to queue up more than two hours, in such a small space if there is no pious heart is unbearable.
In the Jokhang Monastery, Chakpori under and in front of the Potala Palace, can see a lot of kowtowing people are very respectful of each heads, each heads have disseminated the faith, each is a tall, kinds of hope and liberation, their own way to interpret life, to enrich life, to enjoy life. The magnificent Potala Palace in Chaoyang, it is only a reification of power, a symbol of class, he can not give happiness, so he's nowhere near the Jokhang Temple in strong incense.
Nearly noon, the streets have seldom seen Tibetans, shops are open for business, the waiter is speaking the majority of Sichuan dialect, as if into a city in Sichuan. Lhasa's diet is basically the flavor of the country have, of which Sichuan, mostly Muslim, and Dumpling Restaurant, catering not a problem. The west of the Potala Palace, a huge statue of the Yak, where the financial district should be considered in Lhasa, but there is no Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The streets who are obviously a very leisurely pace, a lot of begging children, of course, there are also some children to cleaning shoes, singing in exchange for remuneration. Drepung Monastery and Sera Monastery have a debate the scriptures, worth a visit, which has a large temple outside of Young forest, tall and straight vertical, the yellow leaves in late autumn season garden trees compared with the surrounding snow-capped mountains shine, the wind, the Yepiao Ling, accumulation into a thick, soft carpet, a beautiful landscape painting.
The Lhasa River is the most beautiful place in Lhasa, while the Lhasa River is about to import the most beautiful section of the Brahmaputra, the river spread a few hundred meters wide, has become flat and shallow water, the water clear bottoming out of the riverbed on the growth of a variety of flowers and trees, water, sunlight seems to be light breeze blowing, flashing a corrugated surface of the water there are a number of raised land, a number of sheep and cattle, as well as walking and feeding birds lazy. There are a number of Fujihashi water and cattle Kayaks, blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, yellow leaves, green water, fish, as well as gentle wind and warm sunshine, which is what a harmonious, how beautiful, how poetic Local呀. The city of Lhasa River flows from northeast to southwest, the river is divided into inland and outside the river, there are several small islands in the middle split. The right side of the shore there are military compound and Tibet University, good luck you can see the training of the armed forces, Lhasa Bridge is not allowed to take pictures and stay.
Barkhor in Lhasa city, the most bustling area, flow from dawn until dusk, souvenir stalls on the price of people scratching their heads, cargo Bianbu Qing true or false, deliberately engaged in the old ornaments and dirty, business atmosphere has disseminated a piece of Pure Land. Of course, there are surprises in the Xinhua bookstores, was able to buy more than 300 pages thick, the new Buddhist books, the price actually only 2-3 yuan.
Lhasa is such a city, inclusive of many, if you want painless to find what you want, it would be too wish for. Same here, need to discover, need to understand the need to appreciate, like the need to pay, require patience, time and fate.
