Caption: soon after I went to Nepal, there was an earthquake. I like this simple country very much. I hope it will be well soon. Those photos may become the only ones that can no longer be copied. We always think that there is enough time for us to go anywhere we want; Think there are still many opportunities, enough to let us love each other. But often do not know how to cherish the beautiful things around and the beautiful people around, forget that life is changeable, things are impermanent===================================== Lhasa is not a strange name. Tibet is a holy land that many people have made a life-long visit to.

Vaguely think that one day will go, but, which day? It seems to have been far away from me. Walking in Western Sichuan repeatedly, it seems that I have seen Tibet, and I have never been eager to get close to this land.

Until, I repeatedly heard friends mention, Tibet, Ali.

It is said that the probability of seeing snow mountains in winter is much higher than that in summer, and Lhasa in winter is especially quiet because there are few people.

Even better, Lhasa does not lack sunshine in winter. So muddleheaded, so I reserved a round-trip ticket to Lhasa. My travel always starts inexplicably. Maybe it's because I went to a place with a picture of scenery, maybe it's because a starry sky started a long adventure. Now, it's because of my friends' yearning, I started another unknown exploration... This kind of indeterminate recklessness often makes my travel complicated. Sure enough, it didn't take long to book a round-trip ticket to Lhasa, and I began to regret wasting this long annual holiday. It's not seven days, it's fourteen days. After discussing with friends, the day before the departure, this trip to Lhasa to see the snow mountain in the sun, inexplicably turned into a crossing between Lhasa and Nepal. For Nepal, I have no concept, and I have never yearned for it. But I don't know if you have that feeling. You can go anywhere with trusted friends. After last year's long journey, it seems that I seldom look forward to the amazing scenery and participate in the process. Traveling to me is more like a process of watching. I like to look at the people and things on the road. A diversified understanding makes me more open-minded, but I understand that this is not my life.

The itinerary of this trip: Chengdu Lhasa Zhangmu badgang Kathmandu bocala Kathmandu Patan Zhangmu Shigatse Yanghu Lhasa after the meat test, it is not recommended to take Zhangmu port to and fro this line in winter, which is time-consuming and unsafe (of course, maybe I'm too backward...) this trip encountered the first return flight, the first flight was cancelled, the first flight was cancelled, the first flight was cancelled, the second flight was cancelled, the second flight was cancelled, the second flight was cancelled, the first flight was cancelled, the first flight was cancelled, the second flight was cancelled, the first flight was cancelled The first time I saw the car overturn (two times I went back and forth to Zhangmu, I met the car in front of me overturned, and there were casualties. It was really bad to watch other people's car accident. Our driver was so scared that he didn't dare to continue driving. He went to the Everest Hotel to have a rest and didn't move on until after ten o'clock the next day. When I went back, I encountered a cross-country rollover, so I spent the night in Shigatse, and the next day I went to Lhasa, where I only came back after turning around Yanghu Lake)... Fortunately, all of them were safe and sound. During the Spring Festival, the price of Chartered cars is still very high. It is said that the price before the Spring Festival was about 200 yuan, but during the Spring Festival, the price was raised to 400-600 yuan / person (8-13 people, van, not cross-country...) Even some drivers say that there is a market for the price of 6000 a car (four people cross-country) (are you kidding me, uncle? So it is suggested that Chengdu fly to Jiadu, and then transit Zhangmu from Nepal to Lhasa. In this way, time will not be consumed too much, and you can enjoy the scenery of Tianlu at the end of 318. Of course, if you have plenty of time, you can go to Nepal and try not to work late. In winter, it's a bit dangerous. Visa: considering that the Nepalese Embassy in Lhasa may have a holiday during the Chinese new year, we set out after getting a visa on Taobao. The price is 198 yuan per person. It took about 4 days. It's so slow.... Students who don't leave at a special time can go directly to the Nepalese Embassy and sign the next day. The price is 175 yuan. Of course, there are a lot of successful experiences in landing, you can choose Baidu by yourself. It is a lot of checkpoints to make complaints about Lhasa from camphor to camphor. I can't remember how many times I swiped my ID card. Therefore, it is recommended to charter a car with a few people. The inspection time is greatly shortened, and the bus is very heavy. Exchange: Zhangmu port exchange rate is the highest, you can exchange here. Of course, now that you have a strong Alipay, you can also reach Nepal and exchange it in China's local restaurants and Chinese restaurants. The direct exchange of money to their Alipay will be higher than the cash exchange rate, or even higher than the exchange rate of Zhangmu port. Booking the first flight to Lhasa, I was so trapped on the plane that I couldn't open my eyes. When I woke up, I found that the plane was still standing. And I didn't expect that after it finally flew up, it returned to the sea!!!

Although I've flown many times, it's the first time in my life. What makes me vomit blood most is that no one can sympathize with me. Clapping and cheering can take more photos of snow mountain. It's a pleasure in pain. What's the mentality of buying a horse at the beginning? Rensen is too hard!

Although I know that the trip to Lhasa during the day is scrapped, I can't help feeling better when I see such a magnificent mountain range.

There are always a lot of uncontrollable unknowns in the journey. The only thing we can do is to adjust our mood and not be trapped by these episodes. Besides, I always believe that there will always be another way to make up for what I miss.

For example, now, although the rare heavy snow in Lhasa in recent decades makes me unable to land, I have to return to Chengdu. But also let me see the rare, after the snow Lhasa.

Just looking down over Lhasa made me breathless.

The word "holy" is engraved in the brain.

The majestic, holy and shining beauty is really beyond description. No wonder so many people want to go to Lhasa. It's really different.

If it hadn't snowed, I wouldn't have returned, but at the same time, I wouldn't have seen these spectacular scenes.

So missing may not be a pity, there may be a surprise waiting for you.

Due to the heavy snow, it was already night after arriving in Lhasa. After having a look at the Potala Palace at night, I went back to the hotel to have a rest.

My plan was disrupted by the sudden snow, so I had to stay in Lhasa for one more day. In order to find the car to camphor wood, the next day to Roblin card became the first choice. After finding the car, he went to robrinka to hang out.

The following Baidu: it was built in the 1840s (Da Lai VII). It is a typical Tibetan style garden where the Dalai Lamas spent the summer to manage their affairs. After more than 200 years of expansion, the whole garden covers an area of 360000 square meters. There are more than 100 kinds of plants in the garden, including not only the common flowers and trees in Lhasa, but also the exotic flowers and plants from the southern and northern foothills of the Himalayas, as well as the rare flowers transplanted from the mainland or imported from abroad. It can be called the plateau botanical garden. The main body of the building is Gesang pozhang, golden pozhang and Dadeng Mingjiu pozhang, with 374 rooms. It is the largest, best scenic and most historic garden in Tibet. Robrinka means treasure garden.

Admission: 60 yuan. Actually.... There is nothing good in this garden!! Well, maybe the plants freeze to death in the winter... The so-called baby didn't see... There was a zoo that needed to be charged again, so I didn't go in. It's true that the garden is big. But it's very cold, many places are not open.. embarrassed

But the garden is really quiet. Especially after the snow, walking on the road can hear the sound of stepping on the snow, even as if you can hear the sound of snowflakes falling. The familiar bright yellow, dark red, black, in the snow cover are more than a layer of quiet beauty. Even the winter is full of dead silence, because of the decoration of snow, it becomes romantic and elegant.

We can see people who change their scriptures everywhere in Lhasa.

It used to be said that this is a place of faith. But my friend said that Lhasa has changed.

The biggest change is that it's flourishing here. When you go to the Jokhang Temple, a child with a dirty face will come and ask you to buy something. The change of Tibetans is also obvious. They seem to be more willing to communicate with Han people than before. Perhaps driven by interests, most Tibetans have learned Chinese... In short, Lhasa has begun to change quietly.

It's my first time to Lhasa. There is no way to compare, so my perception is not strong. It's about the most melancholy thing when you revisit the old environment. But their faith, in my opinion, is still devout. Maybe not all the changes are sad. As long as we keep the most attractive point, it will still be Lhasa.

The cloth palace that countless people look up to. I went around it. It's a pious pilgrimage to them. It's just a feeling to us.

People praying in front of the Jokhang Temple. Kowtow people have polished the stone slabs at the entrance of the Jokhang Temple. What can faith do?

At about five in the afternoon, we started to go to Zhangmu.

The funny thing is that our driver was nearly an hour late. The girls in the same car almost scolded the driver half to death before he arrived. What's the matter? Can you find the way? I haven't seen people like you. Come and pick us up quickly... But when I saw the driver... Wow, his eyelashes are so long, his eyes are so big... Driver, you are so nice! Hello, did you forget that he was late?? This world where beauty beats everything, alas. Like the end of 318. Although we were frozen in the middle of the night, and finally went to a Everest Hotel, there was no hot water or heating, but when we saw the continuous snow mountain, all of them were full of blood. Tianlu.

Only two words. This road is extremely dangerous, but also very beautiful. The shock from the 8000 plus snowy mountains is enough to make you forget all the tiredness of the journey. Lhasa charter only to Zhangmu port. After arriving, you need to take a taxi to go through the customs. The price is usually 10 yuan / person, but during the Spring Festival, the price has risen to 15 yuan / person. OK, all the way up. The scenery of camphor wood is very beautiful. It is said that it has rich colors in autumn and waterfalls in summer. Winter is a little worse, but I feel that it is different from the bleak Lhasa. There are many vegetation, which grow high and big. At first sight, it is the result of abundant rainfall. After passing the customs, you need to charter a car to get to Kathmandu. It seems that we ran into the muzzle of the Spring Festival price hike again. Seven people fought for a car and finally got on a jeep for 6500 Ni. However, the price is OK. There is a long washboard road from Zhangmu port to Canada. The road condition is very bad. The total journey takes 3-4 hours. We met a special driver. No matter who we met along the way, we would stop for a chat and claim that we were safe drive. Because we didn't go to gadu that night, we lived in badgang, so I began to be worried and urged him to call the hotel. In the end, he promised to take us to badgang Hotel, and then send others to gadu. So his safe drive is even slower... At last, when he took me to the hotel, I thought he was joking, because he made countless jokes all the way, and didn't know which one was true and which one was false... It's bad to meet a driver who is not serious at all

This way of calling dishes is also drunk. The badgang hotel we stayed in was very good and comfortable, just near the pottery making square. The recommended reasons are: 1. Delicious food, 2. Clean and good service. Everyone was warm and smiling. We arrived one day late. After telling the hotel, we were given a free stay. We didn't charge any more. fabulous. If you have breakfast here, you can see the pottery below. Pigeons are walking around the square. It's very comfortable. When we arrive in the evening, there are some old people playing here. It's very nice. Wake up in the morning in the faint sound of music and wind, as if across time and space. I didn't know anything about it before I came to Nepal, but I've always been very interested in the stories of Zong religion and gods and monsters. When I find it easy to talk to Nepalese people when I talk to them, it's easier to understand Nepal. Nepalese English is good, about the relationship between the British colonies. Burmese English is also very good, and extremely talkative. But Nepalese feel more enthusiastic. Myanmar is friendly and a little shy. It's about the difference between Hinduism and Hinayana Buddhism. To understand Hinduism, we should start with the three main gods of Hinduism.

Most temples in Nepal have exquisite wood carvings created by Brahma. The legends of the four Indian surnames come from different parts of Brahma's body. Among them, the caste from Brahman's mouth is the most noble, which is called Brahmin. His wife is Saraswati. It is said that this goddess was made by Brahma's own fingers when Brahma was bored (that is, his daughter). But in the process, Brahma became fond of this beautiful goddess, and the shy goddess began to avoid Brahma's hot eyes. But when she hid to the left, a head appeared on the left side of Brahma to see her. When she hid to the right, a head appeared on the right side of Brahma to see her. There was no place for the goddess to hide, so she flew to heaven. Brahma grew a fifth head to see her. At this time, Shiva thought that Brahma was too much. She cut off his five heads, so Brahma only had four, That is, we are all familiar with the four Buddha. Of course, the record of Brahma being beheaded by Shiva may be made up by Shiva believers, which is rare. In Hinduism, the image of Brahma is not very involved in the world. Compared with Vishnu and Shiva, his story seems to be less, but in Thailand, he is the most effective four sided Buddha who responds to all demands. Vishnu was the Lord's protector, and his wife was lakshm, who appeared when she stirred the milk sea. People who have been to Angkor will surely have an impression of the myth of "stir milk sea". In the moat river, there is a vivid statue of mixing milk sea. Asuras hold the snake's body and stir the milk sea to get the elixir of immortality. This is the only cooperation between God and Asura. The reason is that because Dharma offended Shiva's separation, the three realms began to dry up, and the immortality of God and Asura was threatened. Under the proposal of Vishnu, an old man in the mud, they began to work together to stir the milk sea, in order to obtain the elixir for each other's immortality. Vishnu himself sank to the bottom of the sea as a big turtle, bearing the weight of the pestle (this turtle is also one of Vishnu's ten incarnations). The suspicious Asura refused to accept Vishnu's suggestion, grabbed the snake's tail to stir, but held the snake's body and head. As a result, he was almost killed by the poison vomited by the snake; The gods are enjoying the rain and fragrant clouds with snake tail. This kind of mixing work lasted for hundreds of years. At this time, something unexpected happened. The overburdened snake spewed out its venom, which was enough to destroy the three worlds At this critical moment, Shiva came forward and swallowed the venom without hesitation, so that the three realms would not be destroyed. However, Shiva's throat was burned blue, so he was also known as "qingjingzhe". So in Indian mythology, if you see a God with a blue neck, it must be Shiva.

The last God of the old people in badgang is my favorite Shiva, Lord of destruction. In my opinion, this is the most interesting God. All kinds of behaviors are full of love, hate and unruly human nature, so they are very kind. This time I went to Kathmandu just in time for Shiva's birthday, and people all over the street were celebrating. I had a one-day B & B reservation in Kado, and the host of the B & B invited me to Shiva's party. Unfortunately, I made an appointment with the Chinese friends I met on the way to have a reunion dinner in advance, so I didn't go to the party. It's a pity. The host told me that on Shiva's birthday, people drink, smoke, hip-hop and have fun. Shiva is addicted to alcohol, smoke and unrestrained (it seems to be a bit of Wei Jin style), so this kind of prodigal son will be rejected by the father-in-law. Sati, Shiva's wife, protested to her father. When the father-in-law held a grand ceremony, he invited all the gods of the three realms. It can be said that none of those who had a little name left out - except Shiva. How does this make Sathi who loves Shiva swallow this breath? In order to show her displeasure, Sathi threw fire in public and used her life to get Shiva's due respect back. The Indian widow's self Immolation is called sati, which comes from Shiva's wife. When Shiva arrived, Sathi was dead. In her fury, Shiva killed her father-in-law daksha and danced with Sathi's body, destroying the whole ceremony. Not only the ceremony, the whole world trembled because of Shiva's dance. In a flash, the wind and cloud changed color, and the three realms had no light, It is because his dance has the power to destroy heaven and earth. He is the God of dance, asceticism, reproduction and yoga. One is that Shiva jumped around the earth three times in her fury and nearly destroyed the whole world; Another way of saying is that Shiva began to wander for seven years with Sathi's corpse in her arms. During this period, she danced his death dance from time to time, but Sathi never woke up... But the end of these two ways is the same. Vishnu, the good old man in the mud, appeared again, in order to wake Shiva from her rage and save the world from being destroyed by Shiva, Vishnu and Shiva fought and destroyed the body of Sathi in Shiva's arms. Sathi's body was cut into 50 pieces by Vishnu and scattered in different places on the earth, each of which became a holy place.

The lovely Nepalese child, Shiva, who lost her wife, returned to the Himalayas in the holy mountain of gangrenpozi (gangrenpozi is regarded as the center of the world by the three religions). The relationship with Hinduism is Shiva, which is the holy mountain of Shiva. In the past ten thousand years, Shiva has become as cold as the Himalayan rocks, and there is no more ripple in her heart. What Shiva didn't know was that his wife Sathi had been reincarnated as one of the incarnations of the snow mountain goddess Parvati, that is to say, his wife's general name was UMA. Sathi, Parvati, Durga and gari were all her incarnations. Parvati is still in love with Shiva, but she is no longer moved by love (is it because the love in previous life is too hurt, or she has been suffering for a long time and forgotten her wife? What a small speech, All in all, Parvati tried her best. Shiva is the "domineering president with a cold, proud and paralyzed face." how do you like it. God of love couldn't see it any more. He volunteered to help and shot the arrow of God of love at Shiva Shiva suddenly felt a fire in her heart, and almost couldn't control it. But Shiva was Shiva after all. A second later, she knew that she had been attacked! The angry Shiva opened her third eye and burned love mercilessly... So, is this the origin of cannon fodder? Shiva, the most affectionate and holy one, knows true love without cheating. When did the crowd come? It's probably Parvati, who chases Shiva hard, who has already alerted the gods in heaven. Maybe they all started to bet... What a wonderful gossip, what an innocent God of love.. (sigh) one after another, Shiva is no longer saved. Give him up, beauty. He is really an iceberg, not your husband. But Parvati turned a deaf ear to it. In order to make Shiva fall in love with her, she began a thousand years of asceticism (it's asceticism again... It seems that in Indian mythology, it's asceticism that tries everything... Everything depends on it). One day, a ragged young man came to Parvati's mansion, and he said: what's good about Shiva? Why do you pursue him so hard? Do you care who Parvati wants? Ignore him（ In fact, Parvati and Shiva are quite similar in character. They are a couple But the young man became more and more talkative, scolding Shiva and belittling Shiva as worthless as a frog. Parvati was angry at last and said aloud, "even if he is a frog, I only love him! As soon as the words came to an end, the young man turned into Shiva, smiling slightly at Parvati, holding out his hand, and gently saying to her: from this moment on, I am the slave you bought with a thousand years of asceticism.

Looking for softness in winter -- from Lhasa to Nepal

Among the dead burned temples, Shiva temple is only allowed to be visited by Hindus. But it is said that one of the incarnations of his wife, Durga, is worshipped at the bridge. Durga, or Parvati, or UMA, is a famous beautiful and murderous goddess in Hinduism. She is the other side of the gentle Parvati. Shiva's wife, like him, has great power to save and destroy. She is gentle and terrible. It's really interesting. In the process of exterminating mosasulo, all the gods were struggling. Parvati incarnated as Durga, cut off the devil's head and won the victory. The Nepalese royal family takes Kumari as its patron saint. She is a goddess similar to the Hindu hard to reach mother (another name for Durga). There is another saying that Kumari is Durga (it was found on LP, but it was not found by many local people). Local people believe that Kumari is a God in itself. Live goddess can be seen in the Duba square in Kathmandu. There are only three living goddesses in Nepal. Once selected as the living goddess, these girls will live in the temple with their families. Except for the annual Indra Festival, they can visit the whole city by car, and they will not go out at any other time. Kumari is a goddess. She can't have any wounds on her body. Once her menstruation comes, she has to get rid of her identity and get a rich dowry. But if Kumari is the embodiment of Shiva's wife... Well... I don't think anyone dares to marry... Even the goddess Kumari herself is worshipped and dare not marry. When selecting the goddess of Kumari, all the qualified candidates are gathered in a gloomy and terrifying room. The men wear a terrifying mask and begin to dance. They beat the drum to make a terrifying sound. Of course, the incarnation of Durga will not be scared. It's always calm and calm. It's the new goddess of Kumari. The goddess must also pick out the clothes and accessories used in previous lives as the final test.

Patan. Durbar Square

The beautiful and murderous Durga, the young monk of patanjin temple, is not the ultimate incarnation of Parvati. Durga is in trouble when facing the unprecedented powerful army of Asura. At this time, her face turns black with anger, and the terrible Kari is born from the black air on her face. At this moment, Kali is no longer beautiful, but a completely terrible and tyrannical image - blue face, tusks, forehead and Shiva, with a third eye. Jiali's greatest achievement is to kill laktavila. In dealing with the devil laktavila, the invincible Jia Li is also unable to do. Lactavela is seen as an invincible opponent because every drop of his blood produces a new lactavela. After fighting with him, Jiali found that the whole battlefield was full of the same demons（ Wipe, shadow part Jiali caught them one by one and drank their blood one by one, making the demon king unable to split and finally won. After the victory, Jiali may drink blood and drink high, or he may be too excited to control himself and start a crazy dance. To say that Shiva's wife is really like him! Even dance is the same, it has the power to destroy heaven and earth. The whole earth began to shake... It's shaking again Now the gods are dumbfounded. Such a terrible Jia Li, who dares to stop her after she has just killed the big boss who is helpless to the gods?

Patan. If the old people who draw Thangka have microblogs at that time, they should have a unified →_ The expression of Shiva. Aren't you omnipotent? Aren't you my husband? You love each other so much, just you! Shiva, the great Shiva, the good husband of the people, once again smiles a little, Gently spoiled, he put himself under the feet of Jiali, and let Jiali step on the dance to ease the impact on the earth. I don't know how long Jiali danced wildly on this human dance carpet before she calmed down. Anyway, Shiva looked at Jiali who was in a state of madness with a gentle smile... I'm a slave bought by your thousand year practice... (Xiaoyan soul is on fire! How romantic!)

Duba square, the old man reading.

Erotic sculpture is also a common decoration in temples in Nepal

Monkey Temple. Buddha's eye

Morning sunrise in bocala

Yuwei peak under peach blossom

We left gatu and went to bocala. The biggest harvest of bocala's trip for me is listening to the boss tell a lot of religious stories. There are many buses from Jiadu to bocala. Hotels can book them on their behalf, but the price will be higher. The better bus is about 600-1000 rupees. I also admire the Nepalese people. It took 7-8 hours to drive the 260 km Lulang.

From the perspective of Hinduism, the relationship between Buddhism and Buddhism is just like the other. Everyone is almost the same. There are almost all festivals to celebrate, and God is almost the same... Nepal has 3.3 million gods. It can be said that there are more gods than people. Ha ha. There is a Vajra bodhi tree in the hotel. The boss likes it very much. It's a tree that belongs only to Shiva. It is said that when Shiva's wife died, Shiva's sad tears fell on Vajra Bodhi, so Vajra Bodhi had the power of Shiva and could be protected by Shiva wearing it. In the portrait of Shiva, it must be Vajra Bodhi. But the Vajra Bodhi worn by Shiva has only one petal, which belongs to Shiva alone. If you can find a Vajra Bodhi, you will make a fortune. Bocala's hotel is the most expensive in our whole journey, and the most bleeding thing is that we have to pay 1000 rupees for going up and down the mountain (because Mao's previous strategy didn't mention it). But fortunately, we were lucky. We saw a clear fishtail peak here, had breakfast in front of the snow mountain, and enjoyed a beautiful morning.

But for the whole boccara, my feeling is general, this is also the green vegetables and radishes have their own advantages. I prefer the beautiful temples, the smiling and lovely people in patanbad gangadu. Oh, yes, the point of Pokhara's Tucao is make complaints about 10% tax and 13% service charge for a meal. Is it so advanced here? The key is the slow serving speed! Can you imagine five roast chicken wings waiting for an hour and a half and a plate of dumplings waiting for an hour? From bocala back to gadu, I visited the beautiful temples again.

Time is not enough. Nepal is a place worth spending more time savoring. If you go again next time, you will definitely arrange more time to go to the temple and go to Lumbini once more. Moreover, the time was in a hurry, and there were too few buildings and people. I wanted to find time to shoot again.

Yanghu in winter

Frozen Yanghu Lake

On the way to Lhasa airport. It takes about an hour for the bus to get to the airport

Lhasa Chengdu aerial photo. After returning to Lhasa, Siguniang mountain didn't have a special trip. She went to Yanghu lake. On Wednesday, she went to zakiram temple to worship the God of wealth and went home. For Tibet, this time it's almost a visit. These two places are worth visiting again.
