Lhasa, Lhasa arrive at the airport at six in the morning, when yes, but the Baiyun International Airport has been milling around the head. Numerous times to take off landing here, here is always busy. People carrying luggage to wait for departure, bustling.
I was so infatuated with the feeling before departure, I like airports, train stations, bus station. Like a long journey to that little bit of confusion before. Like the first time threw himself an unknown distance.

flight two hours later, it was facing the camera outside, looked down, it is already snow-capped peaks, I think should be in the territory of Yunnan. Sure enough, a short while they arrive at a transit - Zhongdian. Snow Just next to the airport, never seen snow-capped mountains, everyone in the behavior among snow-capped mountains on the apron before leaving shadows.'ve been to Tibet, said: impatient, snow-capped mountains of Tibet are many other!
airport staff dressed in Tibetan clothing, and our waiting room ready to fly with passengers in Lhasa where it can have many Tibetan faces. All this excites me.

bearing in mind the teachings of someone who has "got off the plane to slowly, gently their emotions, not emotional."
As a result, the aircraft landed smoothly Gongga airport, I like to walk like a ladylike (and some foreigners have also marched tall and mighty split step, ha ha!), Obediently slowly took the luggage is still felt Some flustered, after all, elevated above sea level too quickly. But excitement quickly overshadowed flustered. car high-pitched buzz of the mobilization of a Tibetan song is also my taste. I lament the way non-stop. "ah, yes snow-capped mountains!"; "Brahmaputra!"; "That was the Yak it?"; "ah, the Tibetan people in a picnic!" eyes not enough, everything around me is full of novelty. Lhasa, Lhasa, this ignorant woman has finally come!
From Gonggar airport to Lhasa is about one and a half hour drive along the Brahmaputra along the green, surrounded by barren mountains, the Peak accumulation of snow white, so that newly arrived people just get a taste of the scenery of the plateau.

Lhasa in urban areas and not the same as I imagined! I thought she should silence in the sun, the sky; that the spread in the air in her temple bell awakens the Millennium; thought she shiny stone on the road to Kam-out pious pilgrims figure than imagined ... and she some noisy, some upset.
Revolution Tea House! What the name of progress! In the Mainland to be very difficult to hear. Was certainly make people feel warm. This is sheer Tibetans among the teahouses. 2.5 yuan a bowl of noodles and 3 yuan for Tibet a small pot of sweet tea, I eat Ge Bao. Watching the Tibetan face of coming and going around that he really had been in Lhasa, ah! They said that Tibetans like the bubble tea, drink tea and chat inside a bubble that is passed in an afternoon.
Jokhang Temple in the evening of sacred and solemn look, walking clockwise people on the street was parked in front of the Jokhang Temple in paying homage to, people knock the long head, 5 body cast to. I am only willing to look far, not approached, for fear his own shallow exposed.
distance came the loud recitation, a man in rags Gaojuguotou hands together, then to the amount, to heart, then knock a long head, every step of repeating the same action. I was shock and awe of his moves, and eyes can not be transferred. People active money on his hands. I know that he is not a beggar, this money is used to pilgrims in! My sincere money Didao his hands, a slight bow, he expressed his thanks for bearing with dignity. Do not know if he can not feel I conveyed to him the respect of the situation. His firm's attention so that I can feel his strong faith.
looked at his backs away, I could no longer calm.
