Today, very comfortable sleep, waking up the morning is sunny in. Since yesterday afternoon, the sum of Wang Lin always talking business, do not, and we went to Tashilhunpo, this morning they are going to visit there. Anyway, we have nothing to do, apart from President Jiang Xiao Cai, and a little uncomfortable in the room break, other people went to once. I originally did not want to go and thought TAO last night told me that they would go there this morning, I also go together with them, and anyway they do not want me to spend money, tickets, by the way, and TAO can also leave a shadow in Tibet.
Today is the Shigatse Tourism Board, accompanied by a lady, and into the door, saying to wait for tour guides to bring together a number of leading Shandong to visit, we are inside the gate on the upper plaza to about 20 minutes, then tour come alone, and that those leaders are in a hotel collapsed due to altitude sickness, and we could not help but laugh relative.
A guide to bring everyone to a Hall of explanation, I alone wandering around and put telephoto, by the way some people snap photos. Soon the morning light is light, which looks even more glittering golden dome. Until finally they entered the TAO, and I was looking for a long time encounter her, and her tenth Panchen Lama in front of palace together a shadow on the walkie-talkie inside me came to the square meet in sound. Hurry and TAO farewell small way to catch up with a large force, passing through a yard, which came through the sound of a noisy debate Unfortunately, the door closed, only through the crack, saw some, but can not take pictures.
Tashilhunpo left, we went to a new palace (also known as Summer Palace, full name is quite Zhang Deqing Gesang), originally a summer resort by large water will or bad, is said to Premier Zhou allocated 500,000 Ocean reconstruction, so the architectural style and the temple is entirely different. Here is the Panchen Lama summer resting places, one into the courtyard, it felt a lot of cool, which are very lush flowers and trees. Not many people visit, there's room is not open, the guides say is the Panchen Lama's death is the place to the central leadership should have come to take the instrument of ratification, but also to the Tashilhunpo took the keys to open.
Arrangements for the afternoon break everyone is really a waste of time. I am "Zang in leather-covered books," found on the hotel where we lived not far from there craft market, also said to be cheaper than the Lhasa, the street, they drag along with Xiao Wang teach you, bought some cheap beads bracelet, but also bought a pair of horn silver handless winecup. See a streamer, she bought a package, intended to go back and give little princess hung in Zhouzhuang Zang decoration shop.
Back to the hotel after a nap for a while, started up on the feeling of a runny nose, and may be passed to everyone's cold I do not know whether this will affect my future trip. Quickly find Yao Chi, frankly speaking, I take medicine have never been so positive.
