Travels in Tibet Tibet tour, and I mean that quite some of the great trip, friends say that I was a timid prudent person.
10 days of the journey, landscape, human, companion, moods, interception of secondary fragments, resorting to words, be regarded as leaving some ink mark. In fact, stay in the heart, and more.

Lhasa is a city of hard to explain. Busy, lonely, modern, backward, civilized, wild and. . . . . . Interwoven parallel, and sometimes, I like the kind of mixed atmosphere. Sometimes, intense religious atmosphere, again makes me strange, they too were spectators difficult to enter.
Lhasa is very small, the streets of the taxi, white and green body, green in the last, the locals said with a smile:
Taxi wearing a green hat. Since we all wear, it means that there is no. Any place to go downtown just ten dollars, simply Shuangqi. A taxi in Beijing, 12 a fraction of the money, After asking many, most do not bother. In Lhasa, it seems that half the people say that Sichuan dialect, eating spicy food, is filled with meals that apart from Tibet Sichuan Museum. Sichuan-Tibet between the neighbors seems, frequent contacts, and perhaps the past few years have had such a closeness. Also show the results of reform and opening up in a distant Tibet. Ten years ago, if only the local people in Lhasa Lhasa, for the Mainland, for me, Lhasa is a holy, only in the imagination, only in books, the maximum is also a film and television works in the beautiful plateau. Who can not go, unless the artist there are a noble group of cadres.
Beijing Road is the busiest street in Lhasa, why a certain date, called the bustling streets of Beijing Road? In some other cities also. I do not like this street is called so loud in the Mainland name, preferring to call Wanda, or Gatha what, at least in Tibet flavor, more style. Most of the houses in Lhasa is only three, at an altitude of 3700 meters high place, housing naturally could not be higher. The three-story houses in Beijing Road is really unique, especially the most vivid windows. Each window, have not been negligent at the top of a colorful carved wooden window frames, blue, yellow, white, red, with harmony, and patchwork. Material should be wood, carved with various patterns, left leaning against the wall below it is black, trapezoid windows, the locals explain, so as Tau. Cow is sacred in the eyes of Tibetans, "the snow-covered boat" refers to strong yak. A window will split out of a few cells, usually a eight-, and exquisite, but not complicated. A three-story buildings, there are many such cows face the windows facing the street level, about the vicissitudes of wind and rain plateau, watching passers-by in the past joys and sorrows. Occasionally, there is a window, put a pot of flowers, seems quiet, I do not know whether the owner of the house there are flowers so beautiful and peaceful life?
Tibet belongs to believers. Here they are charmed the Jokhang Temple, the Potala Palace, where there were spirits in the sky light. The streets, everywhere can see the hand by turning the cylinder, mutter prayers, and looked peaceful Tibetan people, mostly elderly people, women mostly, xing XU, strong men in art, old people, women praying load the whole family responsibilities. To make money usually do not have much spare time, if any, and no effort had. Believers into Lhasa, not to stroll about, so for them, too Qing Qian. They left behind the heavy heart of worship to remove the afterlife, perhaps, is infinite hope, vision. Pious believers dedicated to give Tibet a strong mystical, lofty sacred. With believers in Lhasa, it is no longer a people's city, the Holy Land.
And believers will pass by a mostly tourists, jeans, sun hat, black sunglasses, full trappings of urban fashion. The believers will not curiously, looked, because the belong to tourists in Lhasa. There are supermarkets, shopping malls, stores, bars, dance halls. Beginning a year from May until October are peak travel season, tourists and believers as much as they take the dream, adventure, curiosity romantic mood, the influx of Lhasa, to bring fresh, trendy language, clothing, also brings urban civilization, so more like a city of Lhasa. Enthusiasm for Chinese and foreign tourists in Lhasa Hisatomi reluctant prestigious location, only too happy to take pictures, feelings, right Bajiao Street Nanbian the Tibetan true and false items not put it down. Restaurants, even if more regular meals, however, if there tourists to join in also appears emboldened full of taste not bad. The streets bustling hotel and out into the Freelander, the indelible story of reunion encounter, which the tourists or vice versa, to Lhasa, adding to the number of vivid, lively and realistic flavor!
In this way, every day, believers and tourists stroll the streets in Lhasa, and my heart think of the concept is desire, is happy, perhaps, but also sad. Lhasa used to it, Lhasa have accepted. One day, without the faithful, tourists, in Lhasa and that year-round snow-capped mountains surrounding it, there is blue sky, will be how Qing Ji, while the magnificent Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple sombre How would the lonely!
