Chapter 38 Visiting the Potala Palace

After struggling for so long, Han Qi was not in the mood to find a place to sing, so she went back to the hotel with Zhang Shuhao.

They stayed in a youth hostel. This kind of hotel is famous among domestic and foreign travelers. Its main highlight is its cheapness. You can stay in a place with extremely high consumption such as Tibet for 30 yuan a night.

The room also has a separate bathroom and a large common room.

There are also disadvantages, that is, there are eight beds in one room, and men and women live in mixed rooms.

Of course, this shortcoming is mainly for girls. Boys don’t really care whether their roommates are male or female. Maybe they will be happier with female roommates... The main reason is that girls generally don’t snore loudly.

When Han Qi and Zhang Shuhao came back, they saw two girls in the room. They must have just arrived.

Han Qi didn't react for a while when he saw them. Then he remembered where he lived and quickly smiled at them and said hello.

"Hello."

"Hello to you too." One of them said, "By the way, my name is Liang Kou and her name is An Li."

"Your names are quite easy to remember...my name is Han Qi."

Zhang Shuhao didn't wait for Han Qi's introduction, he lay on the bed and raised his hand and said: "My name is Zhang Shuhao."

The two girls are relatively ordinary in appearance, but both have very good temperaments. One of them is quiet, with long, straight black hair that many people like... but unfortunately she doesn't wear glasses. The other girl has short chestnut hair and a very cheerful personality. Han Qi just came in a few days ago.

We started chatting with her within minutes and exchanged WeChat messages soon after.

But he soon overheard the girl chatting with her friend.

"I can do both of these two handsome guys! It's just that the one who doesn't speak is a bit darker. This guy named Han Qi is my favorite. I'll get the other guy's WeChat account for you later."

Hei Changzhi: "Does he know me?"

"You know the shit!"

Han Qi: "..."

I have good ears but this is inconvenient. I can hear others whispering, which is too embarrassing.

After a good sleep, we still had our own fun the next day.

Zhang Shuhao left early in the morning. Han Qi didn't see him when he got up. The two girls were sleeping soundly. Han Qi ignored him and put the guitar and bicycle in the boss's room. He walked towards yesterday and another group of people.

Walk to the designated location.

Lhasa is very cool in the morning, especially at this time when the sun has not yet come out. The temperature is around 16, which is the most suitable temperature for people to travel.

In fact, it is not bad during the day. Although the temperature is high, it is still very cool as long as you walk to the shade. The heat here is different from that in Tianfu. This is why Tibetans also wear thicker Tibetan robes in summer. If anyone dares to

If Tianfu does this, he will give you prickly heat in one day.

When Han Qi came out, they were already standing in the Potala Palace Square. They didn't know when they came. Han Qi quickly went up to apologize.

"Sorry, I fell asleep and just woke up."

"It's because we came early, it's not nine o'clock yet."

After checking the time, it was indeed still early. It was only 8:40. The time they agreed on yesterday was to gather outside the Potala Palace at 9 this morning.

The leading uncle re-introduced the group of people. His name was Xingkong, his wife's name was Hongchen, and the other three men were called Douzi, Luotuo and Xingke. However, Luotuo had a high fever today and was resting at the inn. The two

The girl who is alone is called Allen, Zhou Zhou.

After listening to them introduce themselves, Han Qi was also considering whether he should also use his online name.

But he had introduced himself to them yesterday, so there was no need to introduce him today. Han Qi, just Han Qi, there was nothing he couldn't say about his name, it was relatively simple, and he thought it was easy to remember.

Zhou Zhou was the first girl to talk to Han Qi yesterday. She is 24 years old and works as a designer assistant in Yanjing.

The first place today is the Potala Palace behind everyone. They arrived late yesterday and were worried that it would be closed if they didn’t see anything. So they walked around the LS city yesterday and based on the comments of netizens

Comments found Snow God Palace.

What a pity, it seems that Snow God Palace will soon receive seven bad reviews.

Most of this group of people are from the north. Yesterday's sweet fried rice made them sick. After returning home, everyone made a bucket of instant noodles to eat.

Everyone walked inside, chatting and laughing, and started queuing.

Although it was still early, there were many people queuing up, more than 20 meters from the entrance of the Potala Palace. This was the reason why they came early. Most of the tourists were still sleeping soundly in the hotel at this time.

This is not the first time Xingkong has come to Lhasa. According to his introduction, the tickets were very cheap when he first came here, but that was more than ten years ago.

Now that they have left their children with the old man, the couple is planning to start from Lhasa on an exciting trip around the country to regain the passion of their original love... As travel experts, the job of guest tour guide naturally falls on Xingkong

On the body.

"The Potala Palace was built in the seventh century AD, that is, during the Tang Dynasty in our country. At that time, Songtsen Gampo built a palace on this red mountain in order to marry Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. It was not called Potala at that time.

It was called the Red Palace, but after the war, right? This palace was abandoned and was rebuilt in the 17th century before it was called the Potala Palace. There are two palaces, the Red Palace and the White House..."

The White House and the Red Palace are clearly distinct.

If you look at the pictures online, you can see that the Red Palace is at the bottom and the White House is at the top. The Red Palace is the Buddhist hall and the White House is where government affairs are handled.

The team walked fairly quickly. There were two ways to enter. Individual tourists entered through the main gate, which is the south gate, and groups entered through the east gate. Among the individual tourists, there were tourists like Han Qi, as well as many local Tibetans.

But don’t think that there are more tourists than locals. In fact, there are no fewer Tibetans than tourists who come to visit the Potala Palace. However, the purpose is different. Tourists only come here out of curiosity to feel the local cultural atmosphere, while the locals simply come here to visit.

I came here for a pilgrimage.

Han Qi himself does not engage in any religious worship, but he likes to interact with people of faith.

Along the way, Han Qi met many local people who believed in Buddha. Only a small area in Yanjing had people who believed in God. However, they were all very nice and hospitable. This may be what traditional Tibetans have in common.

Allen endured high fever and came out. The climb was very slow. When she came up, Xingkong nodded and said: "Everyone, please take care of each other. I just looked at the people in line. There are a lot of people. Be careful not to get separated."

When Han Qi heard this, his heart tightened.

There are some places in the Potala Palace that are forbidden to tourists. Your title will not allow you to go to those places, right? You have to keep up.

Xingkong said as he walked: "The Zhenbao Pavilion is ahead. Let's go and take a look first. We don't have to leave in a hurry. Although it is inconvenient for us individual tourists to buy tickets, the time of the tour is not limited. Those who buy group tickets

I had to go out within an hour, and I kept rushing and couldn’t see anything.”

Han Qi was a little curious and asked: "Brother Xingkong, you have been here a few times and you know a lot."

"Maybe four or five times. I worked in Tibet when I was young. Sometimes the Potala Palace is free, so I come here often."

There is a small square before officially entering the Red Palace. Once here, you are not allowed to take out your mobile phone to take pictures. Everyone also obeyed the rules here and put away their mobile phones. Those who wanted to take pictures also took pictures here before walking in.

When visiting the Red Palace, Han Qi, like many people around him, was confused the whole time.

He saw the most gold in his life...

It's not gold-plated, it's pure gold, you know?

The shock that gold brought to Han Qi made him not have time to see how exquisite the Buddha statue was. Only after visiting it did he realize that the gold on the Buddha statue was trivial, and the gold in the Lingfo Pagoda was the most. Along the way, Han Qi's mind

All I think about is yellow...

In addition to gold, there are turquoise, red coral, agate, dzi beads, thangkas, and all kinds of other things that Han Qi could not imagine, but that are extremely valuable.

Good guy, I'm just a good guy.

Have you ever seen a spiritual pagoda weighing more than three thousand kilograms of gold?

How should I put it? The tombs of ancient emperors are also very shocking, but most of them are presented with luxurious wood and carvings. Nowadays, each building is more beautiful than the other. You will not feel so shocked when you visit the emperor's tomb.

.

But when you see a huge pile of gold placed in front of you, Han Qi really can't calm down.

Blinded by money.

It's really rich.
