My travels can open treasure chests

Chapter 38 Visiting the Potala Palace
After tossing for so long, Han Qi was not in the mood to find a place to sing, so he went back to the hotel with Zhang Shuhao.

They lived in a youth hostel, which is well-known among domestic and foreign travelers. The main highlight is its cheapness. In places like Tibet, where all kinds of expenses are extremely high, you can live for 30 yuan a night. There is also a separate bathroom in the room, as well as a large common room.

There are also disadvantages, that is, there are eight beds in a room, and it is still mixed.

Of course, this shortcoming is mainly for girls. Boys don't care much about 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 should have just arrived.

When Han Qi saw them, he didn't react for a while, and then he remembered where he lived, and quickly smiled and greeted them.

"Hello."

"Hello 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."

Without waiting for Han Qi's introduction, Zhang Shuhao lay on the bed and raised his hand and said, "My name is Zhang Shuhao."

The two girls are relatively ordinary in appearance, but they both have good temperaments. One of them is quiet and is the straight black that many people like... It's a pity that she doesn't wear glasses.The other girl has short chestnut hair and a very cheerful personality. Han Qi chatted with her within a few minutes after coming in, and they exchanged WeChat soon.

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 talk is a little darker, and the one named Han Qi is mine. I'll help you get another person's WeChat in a while."

Hei Changzhi: "Does he know me?"

"I know a fart!"

Han Qi: "..."

It's inconvenient to have good ears. I can hear others whispering, which is too embarrassing.

After taking a nap, they still played their own things 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. Go to the fixed location.

The morning in Lhasa is very cool, especially at this time before the sun comes out, and the temperature is around 16, which is the most suitable temperature for people to travel.

In fact, the daytime is not bad. Although the temperature is high, it is still very cool as long as you go to the shade.The heat here is different from that in Tianfu, which is why the Tibetan National People's Congress also wear thicker Tibetan robes in summer.If someone dares to do this in Tianfu, you will be covered in prickly heat in one day.

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

"Sorry, fell asleep and just woke up."

"We came early, it's not nine o'clock yet."

Looking at the time, it was indeed still early, it was only [-]:[-], and the time they agreed yesterday was to gather outside the Potala Palace at [-]:[-] this morning.

The leading uncle reintroduced this group of people. His name is Xingkong, her wife is Hongchen, and the other three men are Douzi, Luotuo and FIT. However, Luotuo is resting at the inn today because of his high back, and the two The girl who was left alone is called Allen (Allen), Zhou Zhou.

After listening to their introductions, Han Qi was also considering whether he should use his screen name or not.

But he introduced himself to them yesterday, so he won't do it today.Han Qi is just Han Qi, there is nothing he can't say about his name, it's relatively simple, and he thinks it's 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 also came late yesterday. They were worried that they would close the museum if they couldn’t see anything, so they went shopping in the city yesterday, and then according to the comments of netizens Found the Snow God Palace.

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

Most of these 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 talked and laughed and walked inside, and began to line up.

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

It 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 they have left their child to the old man, the couple is going to start an exciting trip around the country starting from Lhasa, to regain the passion of their original love... As travel experts, the job of being a guest tour guide naturally falls to Xingkong 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 win 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 it was rebuilt in the 17th century before it was called the Potala Palace. There are two kinds of palaces, the Red Palace and the White House..."

There is a clear distinction between the White House and the Red Palace.

Looking at the pictures on the Internet, you can see that the Red Palace is a little below, and the White House is on the top. The Red Palace is a Buddhist temple, and the White House is a place to handle government affairs.

The team walked fairly quickly. There were two ways to get in. Individuals entered through the main entrance, that is, the south gate, and groups entered through the east gate. Among the individual tourists were tourists like Han Qi, and there were also many local Tibetans.

But don't think that there are more tourists than locals. Tibetans who come to visit the Potala Palace are actually no less than tourists.However, the purpose of hugging is different. Tourists come here just out of curiosity to feel the local cultural atmosphere, while locals come here purely for pilgrimage.

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

Along the way, Han Qi met many locals who believed in Buddha, only a small area in Yanjing believed in God, but they were all nice and hospitable, which may be the commonality of traditional Tibetans.

Allen came out enduring the height, and the climb was very slow. After she came up, Xingkong nodded and said, "Everyone, take care of each other. I just checked the people in line. There are a lot of people, so be careful not to get lost."

Hearing these words, Han Qi's heart tightened.

Some places in the Potala Palace are forbidden for tourists to enter. My title won't allow me to go to those places, right?Gotta keep up.

Xingkong said as he walked, "The Treasure Pavilion is in front of us. Let's go to see it first. Don't be in a hurry. Although it is inconvenient for us individual tourists to buy tickets, there is no limit to the time of the tour. The kind of group tickets I have to go out in an hour, and I can’t see anything while driving.”

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

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

Before officially entering the Red Palace, there is a small square. When you get here, you can’t take out your mobile phone to take pictures. Everyone also abides by the rules here and puts away their mobile phones. Those who want to take pictures also finish taking pictures here before walking in.

When visiting the Red Palace, Han Qi was in a daze like many people around him.

He saw the gold that he saw the most in his life...

He is not gilded, but pure gold, you know?

The shock that the gold brought to Han Qi made him have no time to see how exquisite the Buddha statues are. Only after the visit did he realize that the gold on the Buddha statues is trivial, and the gold in the Lingfo Pagoda is the most. All I think is yellow...

In addition to gold, there are turquoise, red coral, agate, dzi beads, thangka, and all kinds of things that Han Qi can't imagine, but are extremely valuable.

Guys, I'm straight guys.

Have you ever seen a spiritual pagoda weighing more than 3000 catties 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. Now that the buildings are more beautiful than each other, you will not feel so shocked when you visit the tombs of emperors. .

But when you see a big, big, big pile of gold in front of you, Han Qi really can't be calm.

Blinded by money.

It's really rich.
