Ill, Tibet
In July 2002, I and my mother has finally embarked on a fascinating long-Tibet. Time in a month, to a lot of places, experienced Daxitaibei, and always felt the beauty of this piece of land given me an unprecedented impact.
But first I want to talk about her ill, as the travels of the opening. Mention finished proposals so that we begin to share a pure Tibet.
One, people, money people.
To make money, nothing wrong with survival, but do not go against her conscience make dirty money.
We went to Ali, go the same way the other team, a total of 2 drivers, 8 guests, add up the number of precisely what we double. One Mingjiao Dan a Tibetan boy growing thin, I was impressed.
He was driving a privately owned vehicle number AA6567 milk for the possession of the yellow Toyota 62. Putonghua is much better than the ordinary Tibetans, together with the young, to speak it without scruple. Go the same way for a very long time, so we often encounter together. A beginning for us 25 yuan / bed, and their 30 yuan / bed, and did not care about the difference, until ma Friends of the La (transliteration, large gold between paryang) Tibetan tents Chile Dun lunch, we really know him.
Said before eating a good meal expenses according to their team's half of the operator. So there he was busy cooking, Shao Tang, it seems, and here Tibetans familiar. We were sitting in the tent to drink butter tea, chat, rest, bustling.
Of food, and so on, and discovered that rice is still raw. A companion of my stomach is not good, only soup. When the results of accounts because we have more spoons of the soup bowls, along with two bowls of buttered tea (which generally do not charge, but in the Ali region, even if a) they had to pay 80 yuan, and they are a team 100. With his theory, unsuccessful. Also, because thanks to Tenzin's translation, can not communicate directly with the owner of Tibetans, and we were dropped.
In fact, we can only pay 50 yuan, but see that an honest, honest to Tibetans, or paid account. Companion to spend 30 yuan understand how the individual enough cheap.
Yes ah! Enough cheap.
This is just one way - dark wins, we have also encountered people who grab another tomorrow.
From Gyantse to Shigatse, due to road construction, and we take a detour. Passing through several villages, the results on the highway hit the "bandits."
A rope around the pier at the roadside on the streets sideways, do not pay tolls, forget about the past. What is more, a group of villagers, staffing a shovel, standing next to the pier. Look at this attitude, who would not pay, and paid after the so-called Zhang handwritten receipt (I did not arbitrarily discarded, as a souvenir).
A total of three passing on the road, this is the local villagers to organize themselves, and want to use this "fortune wealth" is simply ridiculous! Absurd!
Second, the fares are too expensive to spend most of Tibet is China's tourist area, which accounted for the largest proportion of the ticket. Here are a list: (including Lhasa, Ngari, Shannan, Xigaze region)
The Potala Palace: 70 yuan on the Golden Summit: 10 yuan exhibition: 10 yuan a total of 90 yuan Jokhang Temple: 35 yuan Ramoche: 20 yuan Norbulingka: 35 yuan (ticket)
Sera: 35 yuan Drepung Monastery: 35 yuan Ganden Monastery: 25 yuan the monastery: 20 yuan in Tibet Museum: 20 yuan (student tickets 5 yuan)
Chakpori: 10 yuan Naiqiong Temple: 5 yuan satin ladder Temple: 25 yuan Zhuomalakang: 5 yuan baiqoi monastery: 30 yuan Sakya: 35 yuan Tashilhunpo: 55 yuan Exhibition: 5 Yuan Shalu: 25 yuan Tuolin Si: 30 yuan Guge Gugewangguo site: 105 yuan Samye: 30 yuan Yumbulagang: 25 yuan Chang Zhusi: 30 yuan Kamiyama: 65 yuan except Tibet Museum and the Buda La Palace, the other temples are not student tickets. (Some fares may differ)
But Shalu's lamas very polite with him, after discussions, tickets 10 yuan / person.
Travelers from afar to come to visit, especially the Sakya Monastery and Gugewangguo sites and other places, but also received such an expensive ticket. We think it's unreasonable.
Each of these can not be denied a temple sites have a long history and rich cultural treasures. They are the rare art treasures of mankind. To view these exquisite works of art, we are willing to spend a certain amount of money, but it must be in our spending power within the limits.
The proposed maximum fares are no more than 20 yuan, the students vote no more than 5 yuan. Or an area of several temples to implement joint vote, present their tickets a discount to visit the region all the temples, scenic spots.
In addition, for large temples, attractions, visitors should be allowed by virtue of the ticket has been bought to continue the visit. Proposed Tickets are valid for three days, visitors enter once every day, a check mark, more than 3 tokens, this ticket invalid.
Some people may therefore mixed ticket, it is inevitable. However, if the fares are reasonable, I believe such people would be less and less.
