May 5, arrived in Xiahe is more than 18:00 o'clock. Xiahe in relation to langmusi is already a more developed tourism place. More hotels, more restaurants, more taxis, more people on the street called to say "Sangkecaoyuan." We are finally in the temple beside the Droma Inn stay there, next to the price of overseas hotel a little bit high. Dolma Inn to the present day is to look at not pull good leng Temple location, no wonder that live here, mostly Ghosts. Ghosts and more places in the bath is a big difficult, the traditional virtues of the Chinese people had to allow us the time in the last 23 points to go across the Islamic bath to resolve, 2.5 yuan a person. Night in a second floor on the "Prairie Xingfa small stall" for dinner. Eating a meal found to be rancid, the owner actually let drained away, saying that we have tasted so make sure you collect the money. There are a few dishes there is no table, so we can only endured, or I do not know the boss will put some behind the dish inside something. But heck.
Early morning of May 6, we naturally again before the arrival of a large number of tourists wandering in the temple. Could not pull Leng Temple on the western side of Xiahe, even in an already Xiahe. Great temple, in its most external is very, very long corridor of transfer through the cylinder. Through the corridor, through the monastery in the center of the dirt road on both sides of the hall is lined with Sengfang. Sengfang one next to one, relatively speaking, is also a very neat. Most of the Sengfang are painted white, while the hall is mostly red. The house is a few brush into yellow, which is very strange. After examination of Jing-jin, a number of monks was informed that a different color also represents those houses belong to different ministries.
Walking in the Temple Center, the first to be attracted by a burst chanting. Chanting from the one with the wall coming out of the basilica, the wall is not high, the edge of a small wooden door ajar. A group of monks sitting in front of the consecration of the Basilica through, while the 23 monks in the courtyard with open space on the dance. Dance of Buddhism do not know much I do not know what they are jumping dance. Ghosts of one wall stood motionless, hands holding a microphone in the recording. Dare to steal China's Buddhist culture, pull out of the shoot!
To go any further, there are several main hall. I remember zz from sina said, could not pull Lenz's Basilica a day is only open six, you can buy a ticket for tour guides to explain some lamas. We are not have much time to attend to these, anyway saw on the drive a drill hall. Also see a lot of funny things. So sometimes see one or two monks from the temple Ben Chu, and then squatted street, and then there is some water flow from below. A little less like a woman, but totally ignores the roadside there are other tourists, but fortunately, lamas are relatively large clothing. Has also seen a few monks from the temple barefoot ran to the edge of a small hall room, each side back to a copper pot filled with hot water into the main hall. You have not seen came out of the hall and from two minutes, running back to a small room. Are not allowed into the small room, but also not allowed to take photographs, look inside from the doorway of view, seems to be a kitchen. Could it be the water temple for meals must first Naqu Ji Buddha set off? High, fertile water must not own fields. In a very large yard, there are two group of monks in from far and wide. Group is a single-hop dance, dancing is another group of people dancing, the smallest of the monks also six or seven years old so. Side, there are several monks in striking the instrument. Lama not allowed to take photographs, so we all stood there, quietly watching. Really hard to explain what they are jumping dance.
In the temple is easy to see a golden pagoda, which is gongtang pagoda. Gongtang pagoda on a small river, the best location should be in the hillside across the river, but must have a long-focus lens Caixing. Take a ten-dollar money, you can enter Turnbull Tarja watch, you can also come to the pagoda upper balcony (I do not know how to say, the balcony might be closest to the bar) to go.
The sun was up very high, and we turn prayer wheels along the corridor to go back. There is an old Tibetan prayer wheels while standing greeted us in the past photographs, evidently like to ask us for money, we are no longer interested in that. Did not walk a few steps, you hit a few of the women carrying a child asking for money, one of which is pulling my clothes. I've seen money, but it has never been subjected to pull clothes treatment. I was also very angry, pointing to her forehead harangues. Scared she immediately let go, we are also fast to escape from this contentious region.
12:00, contacts came up an appointment with a taxi driver at night. Xiahe the first one is a taxi, three of 350 yuan to Lanzhou. But the temporary driving, the driver even said there was a vacancy, his boss Yaogen car to Lanzhou. Driver said there is one such practice, so long as the driver location of an arbitrary arrangement of people can sit to. Then again, and their nature some theories, and that to complain about, said it would not take his car. May be these days thanks to a lot of Buddha, finally we won. The final boss of the driver is not on the train, but they consume at least half an hour of our time. We recall that after the chartered and the driver said, aware of these things, lest the temporary quarrel up to all of us any good.
For the six major monasteries of Tibetan, one could not pull leng Temple, while we are because of the time relations can only hurry and before, I was a little regret. But unfortunately also makes me feel a bit disappointed!
