9 / 29 night at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport terminal to join a small deer, boxes and boss. Tibet trip really switched on. More than two hours of flight in the evening arrived in Chengdu Shuangliu Airport. Although it is to participate in tours, but we get the room go after the desertion of the restaurants near the hotel for dinner.
When a pot of boiled fish and placed in front of when we will know that points to the East and West. Full of red pepper floating in the pot debate, mouth-watering flavor of the fish Jiaoren. Fish brought out in a very spicy in flavor , the only blame so famous. In our ears when the big fast, we saw deer careful to only eat fish dragged over tea. started I thought that this is, what factors; had a small landing going gets hot, but they can not pick up the fresh flavor of fish . So should first fish, a 'river of tea' before eating. Juedao whom we have.
9 / 30 Lhasa.
Early in the morning of the aircraft, is still sleeping when the plane hit nibbling it to the airport at Lhasa. The weather is not a good imagination, cloudy but the day is blue. Early familiar with the information about the altitude sickness, which makes my next machine counter has a no small psychological pressure. Despite the best opening mood; but felt heart palpitations, breathing also seems to like to run a little faster. accompanied by boxes, and deer also photographed light Fen in the apron; Antan own Manami goodbye to the hearts of youth, and and their body really can not compare. well, ignore them, and the boss took luggage out of the hall. guides already waiting for us; guides Yang grew up in Tibet, searching, before returning to Tibet, it has also been working abroad. She took us to eat lunch before they sent us back to the hotel to rest Qiandingwanzhu's told us to stay at the hotel for rest and refrain from bathing and shampooing. we live in the Lhasa Hotel, Lhasa, is said to be all the best. we live in is the 3rd floor, West Wing, to go a long way to before to. entering the room before most people have felt more or less a small altitude sickness, so we are very obedient in the rest room.
After supper to his room and wait for a doctor to come for us to undergo medical examination; although the doctor said that my blood pressure is low, but the heartbeat to normal. Finally passed on to this, tomorrow can be assured of the play.
Sleep well all night; headache? Not. Dizziness? Not be. Is given no less than mind throughout the evening, the boss also woke up to drink water constantly; damn altitude sickness. Do not have enough rest after the trip really I do not know how too. so wait until 6:30 to eat breakfast, the real time for sleep I do not know how small hours.
After breakfast also heard the bad news; because they have to protect the Potala Palace, a day may allow a certain number into. Today is exactly 11, Yang searching only buy tickets to 11:00; it is suggested that we first swim at their own expense Roblin card. Norbulingka is the Dalai Lama's summer palace, with artificial lakes, a beautiful environment. is a completely opposite style of the Potala Palace and the place; Norbulingka more like a rich man's big house, a vacation place. The Potala Palace is a place of work. In contrast, I still prefer Norbulingka, because it was like a "people" place to live, the Potala Palace is too sacred a.
11:00 to reach the Potala Palace; we start from the mountainside, and do not come from the foot of the mountain path. Good, saving time and physical strength is not small. Potala Palace is divided into two parts, namely yellow and red Dian Dian. The whole cloth Dalat Palace built on mountains, the most harmful of the calendar is that none of the draft program, people from many different era made additions or extension; but muddy but one. intrauterine large and small halls, but also the whole of Tibet's history culture and property concentrated. Tibetans for their unselfish contribution of religion; they would come up with the best to contribute to their religion, even if they are how hard life is. For them, the soul is satisfied the greatest wealth. they have been pursuing is the afterlife of the world, had the non-modern world. Potala Palace, there are countless halls, Buddha statues and altar. statues Needless to say, and altar where the Dalai Lama after the death of Dharmakaya of the Department. there are also a small altar 8,9 m height, there are more than 10 meters large. spent thousands of kilograms of gold, numerous stones are made of. Each statue and altar are all priceless, aided by their artistic, cultural, and religious significance; they are invaluable for every one.'s Basilica walls there are many Thangka, drawings, there are hundreds of years of history. do not say you do not know; hall with many pillars were wrapped in cloth, mm inconspicuous. but all to spend gold. with cloth to prevent the collision damage to the visitors.
Not to mention the Potala Palace, the building itself is a historical and artistic product; coupled with its 'content', it is really a true Golconda. But every year there are more bad people into a mountain of empty-handed back, including the seeking only to take pictures while Forget it behind the value.
So, please visit the Potala Palace, the best guide, it would be difficult for the Imperial Household Law of Buddha statues of all sizes an understanding of the altar. Look at the scenery, of course do not need to tour, but the Potala Palace is a set of religious, cultural, historical, cultural relics in a The Baoshan. If nobody explain the history and significance behind objects, then we would not be walking the Potala Palace.
Afternoon visit Jokhang Temple. Jokhang Temple in the Tibetan mind the important position than the Potala Palace. In the Potala Palace we do not see how small a Tibetan, visitors over the Dao Shi. But the Jokhang Temple is not the same. Not yet entered the Jokhang Temple, Tibetans saw a better front of the Jokhang Temple to mobai. they are better from far away, and take a year to these two holy sites of their religion mobai. This is all because the Jokhang Temple, there are a Shakya Muni 12-year-old life-sized images, which is the Tibetan people's most precious and sacred. This is why the Tibetan people in the Barkhor Street, turn, because Bajiao Street is around the Jokhang Temple in呀.
Bajiao Street to walk in a clockwise direction, it is because the street is also a clockwise turn. Barkhor in Lhasa, but I favorite place, because In the market I can see that in general the details of the lives of Tibetans living in Lhasa. While Bajiao Street also different from the bazaar, where you can see tourists from different parts of the world; they are different due to their own culture very different in the Barkhor focus, activities, solid in the tourism in these streets I wandered the market favorite. Barkhor In addition to cultural relics in Tibet to buy crafts outside; there are many distinctive restaurants. the afternoon in the sun to see Bajiao Street on the visitors, at night, chatting at this dinner drink; it in order to experience the local culture, it is the tourism it!
In addition to trafficking in the Barkhor on Tibetans; some from turning around the Tibet people, in the street waiting for alms to monks in the Tibetan children to see visitors. In the square a group of foreigners tired of sitting around, Each hand is patted on the streets of fire rifles shorter visitors. me? being patted boss facing the young monk video, deer, and an expression in the rich Tibetan woman taking pictures, the box being cut-throat shopping. In short, in the Barkhor we can find a variety of its own type of fun. spend a day on the Barkhor is very easy to do.
Then one day they go to Nam Co, a; Nam Co, Tibet, one of the three holy lakes, is located more than 4700 meters above sea level. On the way to go through a more than 5200 meters high pass, and my heart that you are not afraid of altitude sickness is to deceive the . It has always been going up all the gas cars; in Yangbajing well before the road, we do not, when asked to stop singing folk songs (on the road next to the size of the solution). Yangbajing after a bad way to go; full of dirt, Great Britain that they can. We pass 5200 meters off camera, the wind very cold; okay to wear a down jacket. Here Namco, but the best film location, high enough and can be overlooking Nam Co. Roadside has a large horses mud heap, the heap has a variety of colors of the flag fluttering in the wind; brake is an attractive option. but how far they can not stand it does not run cold Duohui car to. Although it is seen Nam Co, But the car was gone two hours before the Tashi peninsula. the wind is still large, in the Tashi peninsula, you will feel to face looking at Namco is not a plateau lakes; but a sea. that magical feeling great.
A great wind, you can see the lake with waves waves beat the lake. There is not a small Tibetan yak hair with their cattle to the lake for visitors to take pictures, boxes, and deer riding a yak took many pictures. I was a headache even for lunch also unable to eat, took some pictures of Rhodiola rosea in civilian clothes in the car a rest. Within a short while everyone is back to the car, looking all different. Some people come back after silent, the deer have started to headaches. may be They just ran too far, and come back the oxygen consumed in vivo onset of the solid-altitude sickness. return the entire vehicle when not saying anything, we saw Young guided wonder about each situation. their own because there is no move again just to make clothes of the drug, not what is now the anti. to see the deer endure hard Mangjiao her clothes Rhodiola; want to relieve her suffering. Young called her oxygen derivative also came to see how kind. deer just suck for a while then stopped to rest, when Yishengcanjiao reverberates inside the vehicle. the original mission of the honor due to too much headache sister called up. We are everyone had a chance to respond, I would like his sister's husband would fly the same as foreigners approached the care of his wife; thus the car stopped, Young lead hold the oxygen bottle in the next anaphoric. never thought of hypoxia would harm into a calendar so that sounds really listen to her constant fear of her life is in danger. the car can not stop to, to solve the altitude sickness only to the low-altitude places to go. Young seeking to honor his sister arranged the car in front of them because it will not be too Britain, no problem in front of more people moved to the back of cars. like her sister for a moment of oxygen absorption will be quiet down , but the car still a long way to go before they can walk 5200 meters to pass it before we can really go down. Li River diffuse along the way the car there was unusual gas divergent; everyone did not speak, cars In this way slowly took us up the hill to go. closer to 5200 meters Yamaguchi; head began to hurt them, damn the plateau and should be. looked like a bottle of his sister sucking the oxygen bottle again, everyone is not a word Fat. time went past, the car finally passed 5200 meters mark. mark is down the road after just over 20 minutes we will be down to a height of 4,300 meters. heart put down the rocks, the regiment of people looking has also eased a lot; feel gas Fun has been different. just three bottles of oxygen to honor full-sister to use clear, if not flies the 5200 meters mark, then also teach people to think about chilling. although after a pass is down, but the everyone does not talk too much in the rest; probably because of oxygen consumed when Namco has not yet come to add. the car was so quiet down the hill go through. On that day late in the evening we returned to Lhasa, the Yangbajain us do not go. the one hand because of days late, and secondly we have no interest in hot springs; they can not come to a hot spring bath. Yangbajing return until evening when we were 7; 10:00 before returning to Lhasa more. There are various After the tour Namco all-altitude sickness after dinner Yang find specially summoned to the doctor again for a few heavier altitude sickness re-examination of the tour.
Today, go to Yamdrok Lake; because of the relationship between yesterday, today, we go out late and stay overnight in Gyantse. Yamdrok Lake is also one of the three holy lakes, elevation 4200 meters. If we say that Namco is a mighty, such as days to the God lake, and that Yamdrok Lake is the gentle goddess. We have more than two hours by car walking in the lake; scenery along the warm sun out eyebrow, and Namco is completely the opposite feeling. lake there are many grass On the way we stop at the lakeside picnic. because of the grass in the lake, we have chosen the grass further away from the lake than the dry places for lunch. lying on the grass enjoying the sun, From a distance, snow-capped mountains and clouds in the hands of the chicken eating; yesterday in the holy lake is difficult to imagine another's circumstances. Namco If we were in the sea, Yamdrok Lake leaves us as in the embrace of lovers. nearby young Tibetan sheep, one with more than 200 sheep the lake Chi Yang. confused we all go take pictures with the lambs. in the coming Yamdrok Lake on the way we also met a foreigner in order to ride a bike to Tibet tourism; watched him in the 4,000 meters to the efforts of the mountain on a bicycle, we can not help but cheer for him.
After dinner to the card if the pull glaciers, glacier 5,300 meters high; we can only stop and take photographs in the glacier. Miss one ask glaciers. Card rola multi-band rock glacier crystal stone are visible on the road, including crystal. Watch where glaciers there is still a Tibetan to check the water for the natural crystalline selling continued tourists. very cheap; I also bought one, only there are adults, five-fist so great. saw the tour and bought two large back before 10 diversity, it should be more price cuts.
Morning program is Tashilhunpo; temple and the Potala Palace, the construction of the same at different times, but there is no integration of the Potala Palace. Palace built on the Temple Square each edge of the palace separate. Tashi Columbus temple in Tibetan Buddhism, the status of high, inside there are a lot of the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama altar. many local Tibetans came the morning after the contribution of butter in butter lamps to work, that is the Tibetan faith. in the Tibetans, the temple is that they build do to worship their religion, rather than be used as a tourist attraction. So, those of us outside who are disturbing the workers of their morning classes. 11 spots during the many visitors Needless to say, and therefore have also taken place and the local friction of the accident; in Tashilhunpo I have witnessed this situation. hope that reading this travelogue to understand that, travel is to experience life and enjoy life. overseas travel, we should respect the lives of local people and beliefs and not to turn their city the hard way of life added to or disturb the local people's lives. (sorry, off the subject).
Hotels in Lhasa today, woke up to pack things are going to put a good storage in the hotel; breakfast and went to live Linzhi, overnight 81. Nyingchi known as Tibet or Tibet, southern Switzerland, although the weather had not autumn but still feel that smell . all the way down more trees in addition to the river many times, really not see there, like Switzerland, the south. believe that apart from access to Medog, landscape only that Banzon wrong for people to see. It is regrettable that there is no Medog trip to see the future, but also to a Sichuan-Tibet trip it a success.
Opened the day's car; on the way though to stop taking pictures, but really nice shipped less than Banzon wrong. Banzon wrong are red to teach the Holy Land, Tashi island built in the Tang Dynasty were the fault of the late Palestinian workers Temple, are worth a visit. Terakado placed on both sides of each of the men and women with the wood carvings, clearly outstanding in the red to teach is different from the Yellow Sect. Banzon wrong, but where can we go only Tashi Island, Tashi Island, which is too small. and Tourism it seems a bit over-exploitation; like this quiet and not even a small lake, Lake boat hire, really big brake landscape.
In the Nyingchi also encountered some unpleasant issues, to the places in the hotel when the encounter went so far as to change the local military admitted to the provisions of the foreign tourists. Where the non-Chinese citizens to apply for places in the Nyingchi area to a hospital. Our regiment, there are three individuals with a foreign passport If no other application will be allowed to go to places Nyingchi. visit with the delegation along with the Tibetan Tourism Bureau WO department did not know; Young guided demonstrated her ability to work, she put down the things football. said that if anything Tourism agency is responsible. really grateful to Young Sister! visible Linzhi not yet ready to open up the tourism industry.
In Nyingchi the hotel where breakfast may be eating the best Shanghai dumplings in Tibet, the Lhasa Hotel is better than This can be quite unexpected. After dinner we decided to give up one morning to the sights, leaving only the Tibetan home visits; hope that we can go back to Lhasa and then shopping. Our destination was the home visits Pakistan show the millennium castle next to residential areas. show Pakistan Millennium Castle was built in the late Tang Dynasty, 1,000 years of history; useful for puzzle pieces of stone, mud base, and wooden. Although it was called the Castle, However, small; like, Wind & Fire, like Taiwan, Yuanyuan are seven or eight meters wide, more than 20 meters high. home visits, we entered a Tibetan houses, underground warehouses, yes to the rooms upstairs. also placed outside the room stood measures, a measure to fight the owner to go out guns, we all took to taking pictures. room with fireplace, can be used to heating in the winter. hut is a small vegetable and pig's hut, the village of several kinds of ago All peach trees; we are all in this together taken a bit of fresh peaches to eat.
We are at 17 o'clock had returned to Lhasa, won his room and then we immediately rushed to the Barkhor for shopping sprint.'s A nice day, evening Bajiao Street in the beautiful sunset in the anomaly; everyone is sure the time in Tibet enjoy the last night Shopping. we agreed to shopping restaurants, after dinner on the snowy head will gather to buy their own to find their own thing. We bought some horn combs and Tibetan silver jewelry will have to play the back post on the day before yesterday night to buy stores, special stores to buy places to live up to the Potala Palace, down the mountain. night over the Potala Palace, a beautiful anomaly, in the lighting is even more of their magnificent spirit. Although the lamps used; but contact to the benefits, not, as some domestic attractions like excessive use of lights to Some of the gas sub-destruction of antiquities. snowy Western Restaurant is very standard, many foreigners have come here to patronize. I order a passenger in Tibet yak steak, after all, less than in other places to eat yak; how can you miss. After dinner, We also went to taste the famous cheese online Majiami drink; taste in general, or a good beer. Majiami a good environment; the main hall on the second floor, downstairs is the entrance and toilet facilities. not to the door and pass it, to the second floor, walking will do. on the third floor is the open air, because Tian Han and therefore did not go at night. on the second floor layout is very gas-Fun, a lot of foreigners have come here. a number of days of fatigue is finally able to get here, leisure, unfortunately tomorrow to return to secular. In today's Tibet, although many, many modern things; some of its own life should not be there. But I also felt that it was not the same emotions. a secular does not have spiritual beliefs, a Cities that are not ethereal. It is what I feel was so close to their own hearts and minds.
