Potala Palace
(11)
In the early morning, we are ready to proceed on to the Potala Palace.
By yesterday at the entrance to get to the number of staff,
We have allocated four tickets 100rmb.
Today's good weather, blue skies after another the white clouds floating,
Potala Palace and the match up just like a painting.
The Potala Palace is located in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa in the urban areas in the northwest of Japan Mabu Hill (Red Hill), is a large-scale castle-style buildings.
The glorious origin of the palace in the seventh century AD, when the Tibetan Tubo King Songtsan Gambo married to Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty,
In particular, Red Hill above the floor, nine-storey palace built 1000, the name of the Potala Palace, home to Princess Margaret.
Songtsan Gambo was set up by the demise of the Tubo Dynasty, most of the ancient castle has been destroyed in the war,
AD until the seventeenth century, the Dalai Lama V, an official Tibetan political and religious leaders called before the beginning of the reconstruction of the Potala Palace,
When the year was 1645. After the Dalai Lama and history have been carried out extension, so has the Potala Palace on the scale of today.
Trans-two wings of the White House for the daily life of the Dalai Lama, there are a variety of gallery hall, exquisite furnishings, ornate arrangements,
The walls are painted with the Buddhist painting, more hands of masters. Red Palace in the middle, worship Buddha, as Songtsan Gambo,
Princess Wencheng Princess Senior's and Nepal as thousands of respect, as well as the Dalai Lama dedicated to history, treasures of gold inlay,
With colored murals, Jinbi brilliant. The entire complex covers an area of more than 10 million square meters, housing thousands of years, the layout of rigorous,
Cuoluoyouzhi, Tibet embodies the superb craftsmanship of construction skills.
As we slowly climb the stairs and walking,
On the higher, more distant look,
Finally, the entire landscape of Lhasa City have let us at a glance,
I do not know why, there's just taking a casual look around
People will think it is first-rate landscape.
Under these circumstances, we really get soft pictures.
It is a pity that much of the Potala Palace, walking inside, can not see the whole picture,
Photo scenery that can only make a small part of it,
There is the feeling that can not be beat,
Also saw photographs of people do not know what to shoot at things.
Guangwan the Potala Palace, we will have to study how to another monastery, Sera.
Is due to have lunch time, and everyone will be called to a steamed-lunch restaurants,
After all on the one-hour bus ride to the suburbs compared to the Sera Monastery.
In the Sera Monastery, bought four tickets for 50 rmb, blatantly to go in..
I may be in Tibetan culture do not know much about, so along the way,
For that inter-slowly between numb the temple also, most of the more or less the same,
With almost all of the Potala Palace, so go for a long time to feel ordinary,
Even after the point of nausea, and even the latter do not think that is why a house,
Is the largest architectural style is different compared with 1, 10 ... ...
Haha, it seems that I did not know it Bao.
Since the weekend, monks rest, the whole feeling of the Sera Monastery have no visitors,
Sera and a well-known by the activities of the debate did not, we go there is just loitering,
It is really a pity.
However, this hillside Sera, in the blue sky under a special salad Wu Zi Shan United States,
At that time mm insisted on climbing the mountain on it resulted in under the scorching sun,
The four guys step by step to find a way to go up,
That being the case go to another, the final product has reached the Mid-Levels.
Mid-levels at the break, mm, and two sak directly from the ramp on the hill has been climbed up,
st there and I do not hesitate to climb up with.
At that time I think of tomorrow will be starting to peak, Palei or a bad sunburn,
So give up on the climb up the idea (actually an excuse), just enjoy the cool air in the Mid-levels to take photographs.
Zenzhi that two easy sets up the mountain is difficult, even when it should not be down,
There has been going around, but fortunately there are a number of monks was also down from the hills,
With them on the way from the other way down the mountain,
Otherwise mm and sak ready to spend the night in the mountains Kan Xingxing it,
I think it should be very romantic, huh.
Hill was charming scenery, cool weather, blue sky, white clouds, matched Castle-hui,
We have been victims of Lai there do not want to leave
We had no choice about 6:00 p.m. A in the East and measures to meet the driver,
By 5:00 for a long time, it was unwilling to heart, unwilling to take the bus down the mountain to the east to measure.
In the East measures, A tells us that the driver put the aircraft,
Then another group of their own to go to the Ali.
I also like the cool set and a half, I thought we should start tomorrow morning,
However, it can not find drivers? It seems that Everest trip the odds are against us.
A big problem but said that, he said that he would arrange another driver,
Then that night we went to stay where we are looking for Puncog talks.
This gives me the impression that A is talking very much beating about the bush,
To solicit a person less than a sense of security is simply a tai chi master.
Although his proposal made me feel a little bit hasty,
But now we can only agree with him,
He said that because only do we need to find a legal document can be the starting driver.

Bid farewell to A, may not go to Everest issue of the adverse effects on the heart,
On the results of the measures in the East opposite the restaurant called a dish of fried vegetables and tofu,
Casual dinner to resolve the allocation of rice lost.
In the last 22:00, A group of drivers and to meet with us to discuss Puncog,
The results of those discussions, the driver is we do not have a legal document,
Does not immediately show interest in this single-access business, and then turn around and leave.
Even more distressing was that the discussion of Tibet, we found that letter in question,
Some have already expired, and some of the effective date of the written wrong,
Tibet, but its letter of the document, even if this letter Tibet have expired,
That we really can not go, it can only stay in Lhasa had.
A left them, and then see what the next day we are sure to see the Everest.
We have to discuss how to do next, have been the last two options,
First, we have chosen to insist on Everest, too Zhongban then Tibet letter, tourism, and other political pieces of evidence, and hire a tour guide, and then give up the journey of Xining to Lhasa,
Directly from Beijing to Lhasa by train. But the problem is that Tibet Chongban letter, the travel card, and other pieces of government do not know how long it will be done if the dozen days,
That does not even go up Mount Qomolangma have finally left Lhasa in Tibet only,
That is not worth it.
Second, to give up Everest, bored to continue to stay two or three days in Lhasa,
Or to Nyingchi, Shannan area around
Xining, and then continue to tour, sit a train to Beijing.
Under these circumstances, the election of a dilemma and fear, two and the election can not be reconciled,
This is because the journey is one of the objectives of Mount Everest base camp,
Give up? Joke! !
But this is our dilemma,
Finally, we have decided to travel the next day asked for further details before making a decision.
Hey, the night was not a happy night together.
