To go after the Temple of Marquis, where Zhuge Liang of the tablets in addition, there are many statues of the three figures. We also saw some of the famous Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty stone, one of which is the Shence Jun Liu Gongquan monument, thin actually Jin Tang weather.
The afternoon Du Fu Thatched Cottage. A time when cool weather, trees and lush Inside, Bashanshushui nourish a temperament. A lotus pond is not open Debu vine branches, pale yellow, just right. Sichuan's gardens and Suzhou have also been different, clean lines, without too much artificial polish, but more of a history of weight and distant.
Rehabilitation of Du Fu Thatched Cottage is also very unique, more simple, to the city visitors will be even more rare. In fact, Du Fu Shu Zhong live, but a few prosperous years. Du Fu's poems were a small child, that is quite negative, there are child prodigy of the metaphor, then traveled around the country, or displaced, living Dianpei turbulent life, which worked autumn winds have ruined thatched cottage, that is, a number of stunning Chinese chapter of the incubation.

Jiumu Chengdu snacks, to here, they discover their true somewhat belie: Surface worth mentioning, vegetable matter whether, all spiced pot of red dye oil marked a bowl, take a look at it too daunting, the taste will find any. The authentic Sichuanese Mianbugaise heart is not dancing, Hu Lulu became the belly of a bowl of hong TANG material. They can even Dashu days eating the hot spicy hot pot men disguise, Stanford Lane sweat the small street into the rain ... ...
July 13 (No. 3: Chengdu ─ Lhasa)
A few did not sleep last night night, 4:30 will be getting up so early. It was pouring rain, one by one are braving the rain check, so, feeling the excitement began to ebb and flow with the sun.
Aircraft approaching Lhasa, above the clouds, the sun gradually bright. Suddenly, Bingfeng appear in the field of vision, standing on the clouds above the shining in the sun sparkled to King's vision watch intently all that.
Gonggar Airport 93 kilometers away from Lhasa, the taxi companies to get one and a half hours to Lhasa. Cloudy, the sky did not imagine the blue, the sun can not see the heart of Lhasa, sense of loss felt quietly climb up to.
Find a travel article in the Asia Hotel. Housing has a unique taste of Tibet has never been touched before: butter and old-fashioned flavor. Cluster flies Flurry. Tibetans are Daoshi good honest, people trust, and stay the first non-payment, but also does not matter deposit. Their number is not fluent in Chinese, but they Hanhan smile at you from time to time, so, we so got used to and like a Lhasa.
Jokhang Temple in the afternoon. The door, devout Buddhists worship their gods. At this point, you will understand, what is the five bodies to bid for land, what is religion. They mutter prayers every day, shaking turning cylinders, in the Jokhang Temple hundreds of times within the bypass dozens, aisles have been stepping inside the trap of the Shiji. Chang-ming is always flooded with light butter.
Lead us to visit the attitude of modesty and erudition Lama, Kanemichi Tibetan, Chinese and English, many of history and legend with his right again never boring. Jokhang Temple was originally built by the Princess of Nepal Songtsan. Songtsan a total of married five wives: Nepalese Princess, Princess Wen Cheng and three Tibetan women. Jokhang Temple is the Princess Wen Cheng chosen according to gossip, and was originally a lake, is a place to live goats, after the completion of a sacred temple. Temple, the world's first three, as one of the Sakyamuni. Some of the Tibetans were far behind, from distant Sichuan, Qinghai and other places step a prayer, an arduous journey just to be able to die under Buddhist Maha Baifu regret this. Moreover, many temple mural by the book, gold shine in the sun roof.
Lhasa has many foreign tourists who wander in the streets, in a hotel in their home, not go for months, as if the owner here. As for the Tibetan terms, as if all the tourists were foreign guests, always with a smile right to meet you say "Hello."
Some tourists, in Lhasa, the streets do not always appear, most of them appeared in the Tibet plateau deserts and canyons Bingfeng is that some can eat a lot of pain, take a lot of road for a long time people did not go home.
As Tibet's underdeveloped transport and tourism, and many scenic spots do not pass transit traffic takes a few people rented a sport utility vehicle Caixing. Hotel door post of many to seek companion of advertising, but time, the number, the price is also not easy to agree. We are up to 22:00 o'clock came upon given the opportunity, it was agreed: tomorrow, eight people who will rent a Beijing Jeep, from Lhasa, channels Yang Zhuo pickled Lake (one of the holy lakes), to Gyantse; on the second day to Shigatse, then return to Lhasa.
Lhasa sunshine time is very long, more than 21:00 minutes walking in the streets, it is sunset, reminding us of scenes in the Mainland six or seven o'clock sunset.
July 14 (No. 4: Lhasa - Sheep Lake - Gyantse)
Insomnia again last night. Day back and forth, lying in bed Tuisuan quick-fix, head of the nerve rambling, burst burst of headaches, thought it was a cold start, and later found out that's a kind of altitude sickness.
8:30 ride start is accompanied by a man and two women, Fudan University, a Northwest man, two girls, Guangdong Institute of Technology. Fudan University Amin, one is a unique and clever look at a girl: short hair, robes, jeans, a farmer straw hat. Tibetan car drivers, like the Tibetans in general, as good-natured, slovenly, do not like to talk so much about.
Blue sky Baiyun Piao, all the way touching heart and soul scene. Yesterday darkness, mountains do not demonstrate their charm, today the sun's shining, there is blue sky and transparent air-phase contrast, only emerged in its Hunxiong momentum. Peaks ups and downs, the endless, from calligraphy and point of view, can be said to take the dragon and snake pen, flowing lines and Qiu Jin, the atmosphere is made of. Also have a long hillside with some weeds on the neat, round and round bunches are small characters work. Took a dramatic turn at the bright or sunny, or the deep dorsal-yang Department; or green life, or large tracts of barren soil; or Bingfeng distant snow-capped mountains or a river valley near cattle and sheep ... ..., in days under in the earth.
After more than three hours of the Rao Shan and lines, and we climbed to the pinnacle of more than 4000 meters above sea level. At this time, a blue-Zhan Zhan Wang lake unfolded before our eyes, we came to the beautiful holy lakes: Yangzhuoyong Lake. "Yang Zhuo," the Tibetan language is the meaning of the upper pasture, "Yong" is the jasper meaning. Level as a mirror, the other side of the flood, mountains, flowers and plants in the lake, cast a deep reflection of shallow, lake meanders up to the distance, the distant peaks issued under the sun holy light.
Subsequently, the car around the lake and the line, with great fanfare lai. Large tracts glistening yellow flowers of rape, valleys of green pastures, flocks of cattle and sheep, seem to have a prairie scene, said the endless nature and serenity.
From Lhasa to Shigatse via Yang Lake is a debris road, rugged complex and dangerous. Brahmaputra along the north shore from Lhasa to Shigatse new road repair pass, the old road will have one less pedestrian. We walk the old road. On the road to see a brand new Toyota Shanghai Oriental Television ran blown up tanks, we are also damned. In particular one, because a few days ago the rain caused mudslides, washed the whole road was completely different, ravines horizon, the mud torrents. Driver out of the depth of exploration was decided to "rush." After the bumps too dangerous situations, people glad "or products are the best."
To have to Gyantse is already seven or eight of the years in our guest house to find Gyangze County, is said to be a good location on the. Shared is 20 yuan a bed, look at the room, but it is pungent odor, cigarette butts messy, we are prepared to improvise, Amin insists on wearing a straw hat to find good office, for a while to come back to tell us a good place, six girls may live in a van crammed with four humans, a total of 80 money, but "there is no foul." We quickly went to.
Going up attic, and sure enough fresh air, wide vision, the toilet light on under the sky full of stars.
Standing on the roof platform, not far from the castle ruins Zongshan Anti-British stands in the boundless darkness, as if the Western myth of the world was filled with the mystery of many untold stories and legends.
Gyangze An important attraction is the baiqoi monastery, inside the White Tower building unique, well looked, we saw the tower has many doors on each floor. Close look at it, is an inward recessed the shrine, there are colored Buddha statues, so called "1000 Pagoda." Tibet's religious painting and sculpture with the mainland are often blocked, the characters are generally deportment fullness, an air of serenity, tolerance is a large face, does not like the Mainland, religious temples, of which more than carved painted face hideous heinous.
July 15 (No. 5: Gyangze ─ ─ Lhasa, Shigatse)
Early morning departure from Gyantse to Shigatse, the road flat, dusty. To Shigatse, mainly depends on the place's Tashilhunpo. Successive Panchen Lama monastery places to live and rest in peace, there are several sculptures of the Panchen Lama, each have a separate room, the room walls there are many laced with gold Buddha statues, style luxury. The most luxurious is the statue of the Panchen Lama X is said to consume more than 600 kilograms gold. Office of the left more than 20 meters high statue of Sakyamuni, whole body bedecked in jewelry and even more spectacular. Inside the front of the statue of Jinpen filled water, I asked the monks it is not holy water, lamas Chinese do not understand, vague nods, telling us to drink, but also for the demonstration, made me Shengqingnanque, with a panic through the journey of the dirty hands holding his mouth irrigation wherever.
Sightseeing around the room when we suddenly heard a noise the following audio. Tibet's monasteries, little more than a quiet sound, even the dogs are not known, it is rarely so noisy. Take a look at the past, but it is the temple of the debate started: the farm yard there are dozens of monks, is gearing up, and looked to be heard impassioned debate difficult, as if the edge of the ancient Greek columns of the occasion. Lamas are usually quiet little statement, but everybody now a vibrant, daily savings blew out all the energy and wisdom.
Shigatse to Lhasa, the road is better, faster speed. Both sides of continuous mountain ranges are mostly bare soil, very open, very magnificent lines, somewhat like the western United States.
To have to Lhasa, we switched to live with several other auspicious day of new hotels, said ventilation and sunlight, where better prices are also cheaper (Asia hotels double every 70 yuan, auspicious day as long as 60). Back to the Asia hotel to pick up the storage of luggage, where people say: pipe warehouse today's off-duty, you have tomorrow to ─ ─ actually have this rule in Lhasa and sunshine time is not as much as too indifferent? Helpless Tibetans are not with you, reason, and you do not quarrel, but also different you are angry ... ...
July 16 (No. 6: Lhasa)
The morning and the Potala Palace. Sun appeared majestic Potala Palace. According to legend, the Potala Palace was built in Songtsan period, 17th century, restored the fifth Dalai Lama, the formation of the scale now. Potala Palace as a symbol of theocracy, containing red, white Ninomiya. The White House for the government palace, is the ancient king of the underworld and beyond Songtsan live, learn and office sites; Red Palace is to teach Palace, the Dalai Lama where he lives, mourning the death of the Dalai Lama are among them. Theocracy is also a major contribution to Songtsan, due to the royal palace and religious unity, and many classics, cultural relics have been better protected. Rich in cultural treasures inside Potala Palace, the surplus product, through the book, Thangka, sculpture, murals, too numerous to mention.
Tibet's murals, multi-religious historical themes, colors more gorgeous they like to use red, yellow, green, yellow and addition of them inlaid with gold foil into, so years, eventually becoming eclipsed. The image of the dignified and quiet character, but Songtsan was always wide-eyed as I do not know whether this reflects the original. Sculpture is also a multi-gold, and then inlaid with turquoise and other jewelry, really genuine, magnificent.
Norbulingka the afternoon. Norbulingka verdant trees, the former summer palace for the king of the underworld, according to legend, Culture Songtsan into a princess has come summertime. Now every festival in Tibet, Tibetans have come to the door recreation. Let's be it a festival, which is very quiet, only one platform, some Tibetans dressed in national costume, babble while songs while dancing, are said to have song and dance to express is the joy of their labor, their hands held a long wooden stick, with the rhythm of percussion on the ground, probably evolved from the original instrument of labor.
July 17 (No. 7: Lhasa ─ Shannan)
Shannan is the cradle of Tibetan civilization, has many of the first: Tibet's first piece of farmland, the first palace, the first temples ... ... until the 7th century, Songtsan Shannan moved from the Palace, Lhasa, Tibet. From Lhasa to Zedan (Shannan region's largest city), a distance of about 200 km, is a model of Tibet highway.
Noon to Zedan, accompanied by two girls is a widely workers. With great difficulty to hire a Pakistani, has been willing to take us back to the price of 150 round-trip to see Qonggyai important Tibetan cultural relics. Tibetan tomb is located in the territory of the mountain Qonggyai piece of farmland, the continuous row of nine important Tibetan cultural relics, among which the Songtsan tomb has been identified, the others do not know-master. East Britain West toss along the way, the airborne dust. No wonder many owners are either very high asking price, or simply do not want to. We also saw the three. 4 Tibetan King's Tomb: Situated among the size of the field soil bag, there is no imagination in the magnificent desolation. See the scenery along the way teach people Daoshi memorable: the gorgeous wildflowers, trees in the distance How many pieces, several cottages, days, especially blue, white Jiduo Yunfu in the mountains above, constitute a perfect picture.
Stay overnight in Shannan. Plateau night sky clarity Qingyuan, Yuet Wah, such as training.
July 18 (No. 8: Zedan ─ Lhasa)
The morning and Yumbulagang and Changzhu Si.
Chang Zhusi is Tibet's first temple. In front of a rather run down, you enter the room, only to find a worthwhile trip. Temple possession of priceless pearl Thangka, which is embroidered by the pearls and precious stones into the Goddess of Mercy, different angle distribution of different gloss, very beautiful. Of which are also produced by Princess Wen Cheng Thangka person: Sakyamuni like. It does not seem like the general adoption of Thangka dark, but mainly in order to light yellow tone, soft and hazy, the whole seems to sit inside the curtain, is unique.
We would like to climb the roof platform, small lama said, "dogs," said the dogs can not go up. Then let us up the. 4 blowing Fahao monks still young, more lively than the average monk, they Jiligulu to guess that we are from Hong Kong or come from Macao, but also willing to let us take pictures. But to show what they are blowing Fahao, but how is not dry, just give us a put a pose, then simply slip any longer.
As it happened, today, to inspect the work of leaders at higher levels, there is a welcoming ceremony. Suddenly the following music rang out, just slide it to go on a few small lama Dengdeng Deng Cuanshang floor, the agile movements, such as apes and monkeys, to bring long Fahao, cheek drum like inflatable frogs, low hoarse but moving soul of the music suddenly sounded, do not have some meaning Xiao Sha.
Out Changzhu Si, a back, the whole a Meiqingmuxiu Pingchuang written for the young lama is a deep courtyard, a pair of eyes looking deeply in front of untold thousands of Enron Meaning of quiet again. That look, people will never forget, never Guessing.
Yumbulagang is the first Tibetan palace, located on the hills outside the city. According to the locals said that in Yumbulagang the highest level on the carved inscription of the word you want, there will be an auspicious come true.
Looking around, akin to finding far, the vast heaven and earth. I put a person's name to remain in this palace on the top attic window lattices can be regarded as the Tibet trip to an end.
