Chapter 190: Into No Man's Land
In the afternoon, Li Yang finally got his wish and visited the Potala Palace.
If you look at the Potala Palace from the outside, you will sigh at its grandeur and marvel at the miracle in the history of human architecture.
So when Li Yang walked into the interior of this palace, what made him sigh was not how big this palace was, how beautiful the carved beams and pillars were......
He sighed, "The ancient people were really rich, compared to them, what are the rich now?"
I am afraid that it is only in that era of greater concentration of power and wealth that such a shocking scene can be created.
Li Yang just wanted to say that gold seemed to be the least valuable in the Potala Palace......
All kinds of treasures can be converted into RMB can make you jaw-dropping......
What dense deity mandala, what great deity mandala (let's understand it as a palace micro-landscape made of gold jewelry)
There is also the spiritual pagoda of the fifth Dalai Lama, it is said that 3.74 tons of gold were used, and the gold was calculated in grams, but it was directly calculated in tons here, and its luxury can be imagined.
The pagoda is 14 meters tall and has 20,000 pearl diamonds, including 50 diamonds, as well as a pearl from an elephant furnace.
The pagoda of the 13th Dalai Lama used 590 kilograms of gold, 100,000 precious jewels, and 220,000 pearls. It is said that the pagoda of the 13th Dalai Lama is worth more than half the world.
Is it more valuable than half the world Li Yang doesn't know, anyway, Li Yang has never seen so many jewels put together.
If it weren't for the fact that he was not allowed to take pictures inside, Li Yang really wanted to take pictures and go back to brag about it......
In addition to these priceless and outrageously luxurious precious "cultural relics", the Buddha statues in the Potala Palace are also a great spectacle, and the atmosphere precipitated by the long history and rich culture also brings people an indescribable feeling.
Walking in it, listening to the introduction of the narrator, it seems that the ancient pictures across the long river of history are slowly unfolding in my mind, which makes people sigh.
Of course, good scenery can not be easily enjoyed, Li Yang can't remember how many steps he climbed this time, anyway, he feels that his hips are quite upturned.
However, what impressed Li Yang the most during this trip to the Potala Palace was not the heavy history and culture, not the magnificent palace, and not the priceless treasures.
It's the toilet in the Potala Palace......
Stand at a height of 60 meters and experience the deepest toilet in the world......
A soak of urine is really a rush to "fly straight down 3,000 feet"!
……
In the evening, Li Yang watched the live drama "Princess Wencheng", the performance of 1000+ actors, the scene is magnificent, the scenery is exquisite, the stage is exquisite, the sound effect is shocking, and the real scene reproduces the history of Princess Wencheng into Tibet and the unique culture of the Tibetan people, which is still quite shocking, and it is worthy of the ticket price.
The next day, Li Yang began the most comfortable day after entering Tibet, enjoying the life of Lhasa, before leaving in the morning, he gave the waiter some tips, let her help take care of the two dogs, and then went out to surf with confidence......
In the morning, he first went to visit the Jokhang Temple, and when he came out, he was a little tired, so he meditated in the square for a while.
Wrapped in the warm sunlight, the fragrance of ghee and Tibetan fragrance wafts in the air from time to time, and listening to the scriptures of the Buddha worship next to you while being in a daze and relaxing, it is definitely another slow life experience.
At noon, he found a family with a lot of noodle restaurants on the street, a glass of sweet tea in his left hand, an iron bowl in his right hand, and he was surrounded by people he didn't know, saying something he didn't understand, and he felt as if he had gone abroad in a trance.
I'm afraid that only in this world, a motherland with a vast territory and a long culture, can experience this feeling, and Li Yang can't help but feel proud.
In the afternoon, Li Yang continued to wander around, and also went to Barkhor Street, a famous business district in Lhasa, to take a stroll and buy a lot of very distinctive and exquisite objects, as well as some Tibetan silver jewelry, ready to take back as gifts for family and friends.
After staying in Lhasa for two days, Li Yang set off again, heading for a higher altitude and more beautiful scenery.
Drive southwest along National Highway 318 and Lhasa River, pass through Qushui County on the way, turn to Provincial Highway 307, and come to Yangzhuo Yongcuo, one of the three sacred lakes in Xizang.
Sheep Lake for short!
It is also a must-see place for many trips to Lhasa.
It can be named a holy lake, and it really lives up to its name, and Sheep Lake is even more beautiful than the few lakes Li Yang saw before.
The pale blue water, warm as jade, quietly tiled between the hills, the snow-capped mountains in the distance, from the mountain pass, the refraction of light makes the holy lake more dazzling.
Although this is a paid scenic spot, there are still many tourists by the lake, and many people also ride the white yak to take pictures.
Li Yang just took a few sets of beautiful photos with his camera, and before he knew it, the task of taking photos of the beautiful scenery required by the system had been completed immediately, and it was estimated that all the photos of the beautiful scenery and wild animals could be collected on this trip to Ali.
Leaving Sheep Lake, Li Yang returned to National Highway 318 and finally came to Shigatse to stay there for the night.
……
The next day, Li Yang continued to move along the 318 National Highway, passing the 5000-kilometer monument of the 318 National Highway on the way, and then turned into the 219 National Highway.
In the afternoon, Li Yang gradually entered a sparsely populated place, the sky and the earth, mountains, rivers and lakes, all the way is vast, there are almost no vehicles on the road, let alone any people, lonely but comfortable, desolate but leisurely.
In the evening, Li Yang arrived at Sangsang Town, the largest town on National Highway 219, and rested there for the night.
"It's finally time to enter the Ali region!" Looking at the map in his hand, Li Yang was a little excited.
Along the way, Li Yang has always been in good condition, completely adapted to the plateau environment, and the two dogs are also jumping around, and they don't seem to be uncomfortable.
It was another brand new day, and Li Yang finally drove into the real snowy plateau - Ali region.
This is the wildest area, and Li Yang really feels what a real no-man's land is, because there are really people!
Looking at the vastness of the world, the front and back of the road stretch to the sky, there is not a car, there is no figure, only he has a car, a car and two dogs, as if this world is his, it is an extremely comfortable feeling.
But although it is no man's land, it is a national nature reserve with the highest altitude and a paradise for wild animals!
The probability of seeing wildlife here is many times higher than seeing people.
No, a large group of animals appeared at the end of Li Yang's field of vision, Li Yang immediately stopped the car, picked up the SLR camera to adjust the focus and looked, it was a large group of Tibetan wild donkeys.
"This is it!" Li Yang said with a smile, whether he can photograph wild animals depends on here.
The grassland in front of him is vast and boundless, and the mountains are undulating in the distance, I don't know how far away it is, Li Yang knows very well that if he wants to photograph more wild animals, he needs to go deep into this grassland.
But it is estimated that you may not be able to find enough wild animals when you go in on foot, and it is not realistic to drive in, so after a little hesitation, Li Yang thought of the system.
Immediately took out the system mall, and really found the rental business section in it, and then searched, and there was really a glider rental service.
And there are many models, and there are also gliders with a longer range and better power than their own.
"It's much more convenient to drive a glider deep into here!" Li Yang sneered, and immediately paid to rent a glider, paid in seconds, and arrived in seconds.
A glider appeared on the side of the road, and it looked a bit like an airplane, a fully enveloped cockpit with a transparent cover like a fighter jet.
Li Yang locked the car on the side of the road, took his photographic equipment and some necessities, and then took two dogs and flew into the air in a glider, heading towards the depths of the no-man's land.
