Unload luggage, and into the simple but unique hotel bar, through the big windows to see snowing streets, open space was almost no pedestrians. Fireplaces wood fire, and flames hanging on the wall of the Lower Ngau Tau shiny red, fading light, revealing different kind of warmth ... ... next to the fireplace to sit down, chill fading.

This year marks 60 years of a once-Mt Meili Snow Mountain, the snow closing off hills for two days, unfortunately, we missed trip, really very sorry!

Early morning wake up almost 9 o'clock, the sky is just bright, the sun shining upon the snow Shangri-La, the pure air are all swell.

Temple built on mountains, a huge row upon row of buildings along the hill up the main temple surrounded by the towering, red, yellow walls and golden roof in the snow under the blue sky after the lofty extremely eye-catching.

Detour in the temple, the snow on the roof in the midday sunlight gradually melting snow along the eaves ticking down, from time to time broken snow slide knocked the ground ... ... Yang Shou Qing Xiang is the blue sky, there are white clouds drifting leisurely, as well as in a free flying eagle, that the purity of the plateau inherent in rising from the bottom of my heart a little, slowly rippling away, and physical and mental clarity ... ...

Zhacang from the side door into the hall - it really was the hall, said hall can accommodate 700 monks! Be everywhere dense hanging of streamer and long burning butter lamps, surrounded by ancient murals, everywhere dedicated to the Eight, gently move the lamas in red, 13 red column to isolate scattered in Space ... ...

Came to the main hall upstairs, turning bright yellow cylinder is filled with hall, in the sunshine, even more magnificent. Devout believers all the way toggle the rotary drum, to the afterlife jis so looking forward to the involvement of a circle of reincarnation ... ... all of a sudden the top of the voice sounded strange, as though issued by the monster in the fight sound of blankets out the roar. Rushed upstairs, two monks had just left, and looked curiously toward the house - nearly two meters in diameter, one side drum! No wonder so ear-splitting drums! Looked thin drum heads, densely filled with small print, is the wish of the faithful promise, drum gods really be able to pass on these wishes Mody? How can the gods of Health wishes to bear such a diversity of Red Dust?
Fellow monks in the downstairs room chat, and it will go in to sit down next to stove. A younger monks poured me a cup of hot yak butter tea, the entrance there is a touch of salty. We drank butter tea side and down the West Rong Ming Jiaola monks chat, chat Songzanlinsi, chat Tibetan believers: Ordinary families are willing to support a monk, usually the eldest son is not sent to the temple to manage, However, our chat the other one lama was an exception, when he was 8 years old came here on his own when the monks of the ... ... pull off the Chinese Velvet West said not very good, words can not express face to silence him laugh , and looked as cute as a child, and we could not help laughing.
