We are August 5, 2001 to share the 10 days in Tibet travels are written after the original is returned to the people around to see because fylfeimi read a good article written by - "Let's Tibet skim Body"
So I decided to re-pick it up on the web as if once again went to the next determination:
Now a good job for the next time a pleasant excursion
Tibet travel (1)
I have the security back to Beijing to do now introduce a continuous
The overall impression of a good - safe, beautiful, mysterious, primitive, there is bad faith - backward, unhygienic
This time to place the middle - east of Lhasa - Nyingchi south - Shannan north - when the male basically lived in Lhasa, one night live in Nyingchi
Tibet has a great place, but most of the Northwest side of "no man's land"
This time we did not go to another one unfortunately did not go into Shigatse because they said that roads were washed out of the rain
(2)
Do not go to Tibet for safety concerns
1. For the body did not go before the biggest worry is whether the body to bear now Answer: No problem to the woman than men and that a strong thin than fat is the main strong psychological effect
By then we must listen to people advised not to cold to keep warm attention of the rest do not accumulated
Just go on the 2nd floor when the upstairs 3rd floor, like the six on the 10th floor to sleep at night like a quilt cover more than the cold one on the cover of breath a long he will stay on what issues were not a
According to the experience of others to go online before the three days we began to eat a medicine called Rhodiola rosea, but other people also said that we basically did not mainly rely on revolutionary reaction to other people suffered from altitude headaches, color and other features of a handful of people who need oxygen reaction , infusion, hospital, etc., but are not life-threatening
2. For the personal safety of Tibet may be the safest place in the country may be the Tibetan local demand for material of the reasons we rarely sat out more than 80 million Toyota jeep with the keys in the mountains you can not pull on the drivers know that no one on the road steal
Night stay in a hotel occasionally someone will give you the room to call the other one was a woman say, "Sorry, wrong number"
Man answered the phone did not know what the reaction of the other
Although from Lhasa to other parts of the road is not very good to go (mountain a lot of steep terrain and many roads)
But the Tibetan drivers (surprise - in our case the drivers are Tibetan comrades)
Everybody the ability to open the car faster and high-strength

Days and clouds on Tibet
1. In Lhasa a few days the weather is generally:
1. Morning (7:00 - 10: 00) - cloudy days (because of the reality of Tibet, and Beijing has a two-hour time difference)
The sky clouded over
2. Morning (10:00 - 12: 00) - Multi-thinning and so on fades
3. Noon (12:00 - 15: 00) - cloudy see the clear blue sky showing an occasional ray of a ray of sunshine
4. Afternoon (15:00 - 20: 00) - sunny clear blue skies at a blossoming white clouds a very strong light (often see most of the pictures may be at this time according to a)
5. The evening (20:00 - 24: 00) - cloudy days more and more increasing in recent years biotite
6. Night (0:00 - 7: 00) - all under the cloudy night, almost every day something but the most severely restricted in wet Lhasa on the temperature of 15 degrees - 23 degrees the morning need to wear a bit thicker usually wear two long-sleeved clothes and of course, there are cut-off with a frozen or not to wear short-sleeved clothes to wear, but nothing surprising in Lhasa say that there were books Down Under to wear shorts to wear fashionable we did not encountered quite a lot of Tibetans inside and wear The fur coat with a long-haired, when the sun turn to the shoulders of the fur coat to wear a thin shirt, exposing the back of the Lhasa area is a typical Tibetan clothing arm exposed to an arm sleeve that Lhasa, 3,500 meters above sea level
2. Lhasa and other places outside the
1. Nyingchi - east of Lhasa, Sichuan-Tibet road a little like the weather changes fast in the mountains of Sichuan in the summer rain also increased markedly increased cloudy in the mountains on the drive (since the main road is the Road)
A moment while sunny cloudy
10-minute rain for 10 minutes a period of dry sunny day a wet road will also often encountered heavy rain will encounter a small mud-rock flow was significantly higher than the temperature has significantly increased the humidity of the local Tibetans in Lhasa typical clothing is not inside the sleeves of the waistcoat type gown to wear long-sleeved thin shirt Nyingchi an average elevation of Lhasa, 3,000 meters below the lowest to the 900 meters
2. When the male - the north of Lhasa, the Qinghai-Tibet road slow changes in the weather when we went to the day has been cloudy day, sunny day with low temperature drying of clothing to local Tibetans are two sleeves were wearing because of the strong wind also hard a lot of sunshine girls scarf around his face to enhance a child's face to turn the Nyainqentanglha significantly higher elevation over 5000 meters above sea level as we turned the pass 11 o'clock when the weather was fine with me the sun is extremely strong sweater, windbreaker, Mianmao Ku and other heavy-duty equipment grabbing the collar in a more rickety clutching his hair in the piercing cold wind stands for a while

Tibet eat
Most cities and towns in Tibet, Sichuan restaurant is most common addition to the majority of Tibetan restaurant cooks and waiters is Sichuanese
I was impressed more deeply a few meals
1. Potala Palace in Lhasa, the snow beside the restaurant is a famous shrine of Tibetan restaurant we ate the famous deep-fried lamb chops, cordyceps, ginseng fruit, and so drank a famous highland barley wine, buttered tea other than meat dishes I have can be very pleasant or bad taste is not very strange vegetables is not difficult to accept is said to have very rich in nutrients deep-fried lamb chops - is high and the hands of sub-gay even larger blocks, over oil, put spices
- I tasted a Cordyceps - 1 root cutting in a 5 cm square of beef, the roast to eat a two or three ginseng fruit - on the Miri, and the butter, sugar, steaming, look like the red bean rice, but a little more oil
- Eat two bowls of the other 8,9 individuals are too flavored, I'd very much like the highland barley wine - smell like the south of rice wine, drink up and there is no sweet, simple slightly acidic
- Drank a means - the thumb was placed horizontally as high as butter tea - both look and taste like the Camellia oleifera in Inner Mongolia, but also a little thicker oil
- A lot of occasions Nenghe Dao, drank several
Meat dishes bad shape because of the issue acceptable to every one is a great folder you do not want to feel it first, so much meat to eat too greedy Second, it is also could not eat as if we were living in the existing environment to the Now that were not already afraid to deal with the fact that the food have put a variety of condiments to do but we are also very Shulan degradation of our courage and ability to eat a drop than the previous
Restaurant service personnel are generally not the image of the Tibetan girl, what a deep impression on
During the meeting, a man went into private rooms, said a lot of relieved warm-hearted words of glasses of wine after him out the house talent Hao Bantian acquaintances know that he is not just on the outside heard some people say, "the Beijing dialect"
So, come see a face
2. Great Zhao Temple Bar outside the door to a lot of travel books have referred to this shop is actually a fast-food restaurants bars shops on the second floor half of the room - there are large windows - you can see out more than half of Teramae Place half of the Outdoor - indoor balcony of a shed is a wooden tables and chairs, outdoor tables and chairs are on the table covered with iron lattice relatively clean cloth of various sizes of flies in the flight
The coffee shop has the taste of buttered tea
- I do not know the cup did not wash clean, or coffee flavor to it Assorted Beans - you guess what is
- French fries (Or they give a wrong)
Fruit and yogurt - a cup of yogurt, plus a bowl of fruit above the small amount of concentrated yogurt a great price than other cities in general cheaper and more over the bar I am most interested in is not to eat
- Is a girl's shop attendants are very beautiful Tibetan girl, one of the long bit like a thin skin of the Indians, apart from some of the deep - she was in line with my appearance for the woman all the standard of beauty although she did not seem to how to understand Chinese even though she was shining on the name of the dish in order to delineate your point, but that does not hinder our eyes, good-looking seductive
Store cashier (maybe it is two dispensers)
Mouth to begin with every one you speak English are more likely to pass in English
3. Nyingchi to the high road away from the fault of a small lake close to town, restaurants conggo Lake (allegedly) the fish is very fresh and delicious taste delicious delicious mushroom flavor is even better I have to eat
4. Namco shop next to the main food is brought from a shop in Lhasa have made a pot of eggs, tomatoes, cabbage soup so many things before 18 things that are shipped all the money coming in, and was not easy I thought it would be an indication that the 60 money, how the people still have not been contaminated as the same as that of the environment
Encountered in a car - 7,8 a university student studying in Guangdong point of the dish is fried eggs, tomatoes, fried eggs, cucumbers, eggs, fried onions, eggs, fried dish to spend ......
Are the egg and what we said had faced weasels do not know that they are not found, or found not to eat meat
Shop point of the fire is to use cow dung for indoor nothing bad taste when they say to dry cow dung smell has yet to finish a gas - the environmental and safety

With regard to Tibet's monasteries
The main temples in Tibet are in big cities near the Potala Palace in Lhasa, large Zhao Temple, a small Zhao Temple, Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery, Ganden Monastery (this did not go)
Shannan has Yumbulagang, Chang Zhusi Samye Monastery (this did not go)
Shigatse has Tashilhunpo (this did not go)
Gyantse has baiqoi monastery (this did not go)
The introduction of specific information can be reference books and websites I just say my personal feelings
1. Potala Palace said:
When the original construction of feng shui is really found a treasure-house, back Hongshan (seems to have called other names)
Facing the Lhasa River (?)
Block north to south (By the way, by the way insert a
---- Lhasa River is not the East, West Marine West Marine eastward flow)
Green Mountain is curved holding the Mid-Levels on the two colors red and white palace must have the original water is flowing through the twists and turns green piedmont good
In recent years, in order to repair a plaza in front of the east side of the mountain opened a hole in repair of a relatively wide road to the river diversion is also very far away now is the mountain side of the road the other side of the Potala Palace is a very a large square brick paved plaza above the ordinary have no place to characteristics of the larger fountains and small water park I was there for the taking of photographs showed also guess who it all came here, where according to the
Potala Palace, the museum is more like a good thing, but a lot of indoor lighting is very bad because it is basically a monolithic architecture is at the top of the high canopy Hall is not much different from the middle of the window (a lot of temples in Tibet are like this)
A lot of hall lighting inadequate or no lighting is only a dozen or more of the butter lamps illuminate a lot of hall of flame is not a good air -
In addition to collectively do their homework lamas relatively large number of Hall of Hall of imagination are not quite as small addition to the huge shrines xintaizi is only a one-off outside just two off the Road sideways look at the Lama Temple concave wall blocks into place
Buddha on the stage at a very high you have to look up unless you do not want to see
It is open every day because it only went to a different palace once looked so mean a part of the palace can be visited the entrance to Tibetan, Chinese and English are welcome to visit some sort of Hall of no-name brands and no one into the dark quite scary
I can not remember the Potala Palace, Tibet's temples there does not seem to be in the hall into the door to prevent the brand Mizong lesbian bar there are some taboo
It seems the history of Tibetan Buddhism is the most powerful and the V Dalai Lama Songtsan the former the latter is because we all know,
- So that Tibet's political and religious, and a significant contribution to the Tibetan Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism in general deterrence is more the power and I do not mind a ghost but it is not afraid I do not know about the temple and the plateau is sometimes hard to breathe
Tibetan tour guides pass a great many Tibetan language has a very good looks and temperament of the young man who is universally recognized as the beauty of Tibetan tribe - Khampa people (like Suide Han)
We then also repeatedly mentioned that he photographs most commonly found in Tibetan-looking man is this tribe

The temples of Tibet (Part II)
(2) Tai Temple and small Zhao Zhao Zhao Temple is a large temple period Songtsan Nepal-foot statue of Princess Temple is built in a small call for the construction of the Tang Princess Wen Cheng (and seems to Princess Wen Cheng is a small, foot Princess is a large statue owes something)
Zhao Temple from construction to small collections of artifacts are not as big Zhao Zhao Temple Great Temple's main building is a multi-storey buildings with a courtyard of the temple is a small call the main hall building with a large number of dark rooms in front of every call Temple days dedicated to pilgrims who have a long prayer (with photographic evidence)
A small Zhao Temple, very few have a lot of tour groups do not regard it as a tourist spots in the small Zhao Temple, Temple of the original in possession of large call-foot statue of Sakyamuni 8-year-old princess has brought life-sized, like the original in possession of a small Zhao Temple brought by Princess Wen Cheng Sakyamuni 12-year-old life-sized as they are now 12-year-old Zhao, as in the Great Temple
8-year-old temple, as in a small call
Zhao Temple wall big circle and radial alley, is a famous, the street market in Tibetan, Chinese and other peoples in that stall or are located Menlian sell handicrafts, daily necessities of what a lot of things like the old is really old worth what I had not even bought because it is not picked out and bought also no use, but many people are buying something cheap bar may be due to a small jewelry category are 3,5-yuan
(3) The Drepung Monastery Drepung Monastery appears to be the largest temple in Tibet covers an area of great lamas of the building there are many many of its temple is the most famous Buddha Xuedun Festival show, where only the Drepung Monastery and Sera Monastery in Lhasa Show Buddha (Drepung Monastery Sera first show after show)
Temple There are many tall multi-story building, when we went to see the Mid-Levels on the shelf with the exhibition Buddha Xuedun Festival this year, show the Buddha in that put on television
(4) Sera Sera very strange layout of the door being directed at a wide road or a ditch (because of low-lying, the water will drain away from)
Road on either side of half a meter higher than the more dilapidated buildings, many abandoned courtyard (not that homeless people how to live)
Health conditions than the tour visits the Tibetan women are often not many people anywhere ... ...
Their skirts come in handy squat row stood up and very convenient in many places in Tibet, such a scenario would be met more casually gay city street can be seen everywhere in Tibet This is probably my most dissatisfied with the point
Debate by the Sera Monastery in the afternoon we're not famous to see the
Tibetan temple architecture have in common is a civil structure is very thick is probably because the building of an earlier era's sake is generally block-stone masonry walls were coated with a white or other color pigments, but Jinding, doors, windows, columns, and other metallic devices are very sophisticated, especially Most of the color gorgeous patterns delicate murals generally Buddha or Buddhist stories and historical stories of the murals law-enforcement Diamond black outline in gold line of very unique way
Chin hall is a typical temple, measures the main hall of the temple in the Main Hall is like the Mainland
(7)
The temples of Tibet (Part III)
(5) Yumbulagang is located in Lhasa, Shannan region in the south-east halfway up the mountain on foot or ride horses in need of a bit laborious, but a lot of Chinese and foreign tourists
It is the first Tibetan Tubo Nie Tsenpo Palace in Tibet live in the palace of the first building is now the main building three-storey temple, but the outside looks like a small castle and its role was originally inside the castle to see if that is a layer of only two not very large house (suite)
Plus a second floor balcony is a house and a three-tier terrace is a terrace behind a high, tower-like layer of the outside is a little hall ticket and the film, where tourism products between the wall mural is a Buddhist temple the older the building is very eye-catching
From three tiers of the balcony you can see the first piece of arable land in Tibet Tibetans reportedly have not previously cultivated the land in rural areas are now slowly developed into a large area of cultivated land can be seen everywhere,
(6) Changzhu Si in a soil of an irregular street of houses in the courtyard from the outside, but deep look at a small temple is the most famous pearls in possession of a precious pearl Thangka Thangka is locked in a very nice anti-theft possession of the pearl palace door windows have an anti-theft window of a beautiful baby everywhere in Tibet's temples is the first time I have seen to take security measures to
Chang Zhusi going to work, nor the maintenance of old buildings like the special teams a seemingly small rural technicians who do not drawings of Buddha is not the time to look at now thanks to the Buddha hall stood a door on the ground did not do half of the face on the color of the semi-benevolent Buddha next to the long bench on four Qiao Zhao Lan Huazhi hands two monks are doing the simple decorations I suddenly felt quite good to do this line carefully read the half-day
Chang Zhusi hospital there are many wall paintings or carvings previous patterns do not know whether to be re-fashioned I always feel a little something old and moving may be due to age big bar
Tibetan Buddhism seems to me this seems to an outsider than the Mainland, the management should be relaxed compared to the Buddhist monks, a monk because it seems a little more freely both inside and outside of the temples and even in the streets of Lhasa can be seen everywhere, as the lamas of casual talk and laugh What they can and in any walk together, drinking tea, eating monks dressed very casually because it is summer and wear slippers may be a special multi -
Many parts of the lamas often very warm inside the mosque that you are not sure where to go or missed the passing of the monks into the Hall will take the initiative pointed out to you or take you to see some of the temple's monks will tell you for the Who's , as some will smile at you or make you sit beside him, pointing are very friendly and there are also a strange noise to catch your eye is in fact also expressed their friendship
We have had a more active monks pray for us to Guanyin language barrier may be the first to indicate that he used a stick to the last one off to a lotus seat off to my head (I thought it was let me take your fingers off to almost made a mistake)
He said a "career"
Finished hears do not know of anyway, and then read for a long time so some of the fellow who we follow the rule of Tibet presented to the Goddess 10 yuan this is my first time and religious intimate contact at that time my mind a blank as if nothing has thought Like them
Have been looking for a long, straight-lama photo because we have finally dared rat Kangqiang only from the outside according to Chang Chang Zhusi lamas were sitting chanting vision of casual photos or let other people according to the
Most of the Tibetan temples (especially in Lhasa)
The doors are marked with the price of photographic or video pictures according to a video to be 50 or 80 yuan to 800 yuan so travelers are generally only specialized in outdoor photography, or photos to promote tourism publicity photo room only
