At half past seven the next morning, in the hotel restaurant, Ning Hao and Tang Xiaoxiao were sitting opposite each other and eating breakfast.

"Guide Ning, can you tell me about today's itinerary now?"

Tang Xiaoxiao picked up the cup and took a sip of hot milk, then raised his head and asked Ning Hao opposite.

"The Buddha said, don't say, don't say. ”

Ning Hao still shook his head and sold Guanzi.

"Okay, then I'll see. Tang Xiao said with a puffed smile.

After breakfast, they came out of the hotel, still following last night's route, and soon the two came to the Potala Palace Square again.

Potala Palace, the "pearl" located on the roof of the world, against the backdrop of the blue sky, the main colors of red, white and yellow buildings form a sharp contrast, the palace is scattered, the golden roof is dazzling and brilliant, and it looks more majestic and magnificent than at night.

Standing on the square of the Potala Palace and looking at this palace with a history of more than 1,300 years, it is easy to think of the Forbidden City, the imperial capital, thousands of miles away.

However, unlike the stereotyped majesty and inaccessibility of the Forbidden City, the Potala Palace sits quietly on the not-so-majestic Red Mountain, which gives people a sense of holiness and magnificence.

The Potala Palace, which is decorated in three main colors, is not just for the beauty of the appearance, each of its colors has a profound meaning.

Red represents majesty, white represents tranquility, and yellow represents perfection.

The main body of the Red House and the White House also shows the original system of the Tibetan ****.

The Red Palace is a place of religion, dedicated to the spiritual pagoda hall of the Dalai Lama, which has a very important sacrificial significance, and can be said to symbolize the power center of the Potala Palace.

The White House is the place of government affairs, and the white façade visually gives people a sense of tranquility and peace, which will be particularly eye-catching against the blue sky, and also set off the power and dignity of the Red House.

"Do you have fifty bills?"

After doubling the pockets on his body up and down, Ning Hao turned his head to Tang Xiaoxiao and asked.

"What, do you want to take a group photo that combines virtual and real?"

Tang Xiaoxiao said with a smile as she took out her wallet and rummaged through it.

"Hmm. ”

Ning Hao nodded: "I finally came here, how can I not take a photo." ”

Taking a group photo of the real Potala Palace and the Potala Palace pattern behind the 50 yuan banknote is something that many first-time visitors to Lhasa will do, right?

"Here you go. ”

Tang Xiaoxiao quickly took out a green fifty yuan bill and handed it to Ning Hao.

After taking the banknote from Tang Xiaoxiao's hand and folding it in half at a slight dislocation, Ning Hao began to look for the best angle compared to the Potala Palace in the distance.

In the process of searching, Ning Hao saw many tourists who had the same idea as him, all holding banknotes with one hand, constantly comparing and striving to achieve the perfect combination between virtual and real.

There is even a brother who wears glasses, with one eye slightly closed, in a posture of aim.

After five or six minutes of comparison, Ning Hao finally found the best angle, and immediately raised his mobile phone and tapped the photo icon to freeze it.

"Xiaomei, update this photo on social media. ”

While taking pictures, Ning Hao also issued instructions to Xiaomei in his heart.

After taking a group photo and returning the banknotes to Tang Xiaoxiao, Ning Hao led the way directly in front and walked towards the Potala Palace.

Tang Xiaoxiao followed behind Ning Hao, originally she thought that Ning Hao was going to turn the prayer wheel under the Potala Palace, but she didn't expect Ning Hao to go directly to the direction of the gate.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing Ning Hao's actions, Tang Xiaoxiao immediately asked out loud.

"Of course, I'm going to see the legendary Potala Palace!" Ning Hao replied without looking back.

"You have a ticket to the Potala Palace?!" Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Ning Hao in astonishment.

From last night until now, she has been with Ning Hao and has not been separated, knowing that Ning Hao will not have time to buy tickets at all.

What's more, when they came to Lhasa yesterday, they had already passed the time to collect their reservation numbers, and it was impossible for them to book tickets from the travel agency to visit today at that night.

But before Ning Hao could answer, she thought of another possibility.

"You can't be buying a high-priced scalper ticket, right?"

In the tourist season in Lhasa, the scalper tickets of the Potala Palace are very expensive, and the original 200 tickets are usually sold to seven or eight hundred, or even more than a thousand.

"It's not. ”

Ning Hao shook his head directly and said, "Don't guess, you'll naturally know later." ”

In this way, Tang Xiaoxiao followed behind Ning Hao with full doubts, and began to queue up at the main entrance of the Potala Palace Scenic Area to enter.

After waiting in line for about ten minutes, just as it was about to be their turn, there was a small clash at the ticket gate in front.

"I got a reservation ticket, why don't you let me in!"

A girl's voice sharply argues with the staff at the ticket gate.

The staff bowed slightly and said: "Sorry lady, the Potala Palace is a solemn and serious place, you can't dress casually and revealingly, and you can't wear shorts and skirts to visit." ”

"What do you mean? Who do you say is scantily dressed?"

The staff's words made the girl suddenly like a fried cat, and shouted: "You explain it clearly to me, otherwise I won't be done with you." ”

While the girl was screaming, Ning Hao also looked at the girl's dress, she was wearing a pleated short skirt underneath, although wearing a pair of black pantyhose on her legs was not exposed, but it was obviously a violation of the rule that you were not allowed to wear a short skirt to visit.

"Sorry ma'am, the Potala Palace is a solemn and serious place, and you can't wear a short skirt to visit it. ”

Seeing that the girl was so messy, the staff had to change their rhetoric slightly.

And the girl was walking with a young man, and at first glance the relationship between the two was a couple, and at this moment he was slightly embarrassed to persuade the girl.

"Okay, don't quarrel with others, let's go back to the hotel and change our pants and come over again!"

But the girl's mentality exploded directly, and she turned around and glared at the young man.

"What to change! I'm not unfamiliar with this place. ”

After speaking, he directly tore off the reservation ticket in his hand, turned around and left.

The young man could only hurriedly follow helplessly.

Looking at the background chased by the young man, Ning Hao mourned for this brother for three seconds in his heart, and he really had to bear such a hot-tempered girlfriend.

Then he thought of the precautions for visiting the Potala Palace, in addition to the dress requirements, it is also clearly stipulated that it is forbidden to carry liquids, lighters, cigarettes and other flammable and explosive materials.

When entering the palace, in order to show respect, you must take off your hat, sunglasses and other decorations, and you are not allowed to take pictures in the main hall or step on the threshold with your feet.

There are some religious taboos in the most religious spots, and it is absolutely necessary to check the precautions of the attractions in advance if you want to visit these places.

And this skirmish didn't have much impact, the queue continued, and when it was their turn, in Tang Xiaoxiao's stunned eyes, Ning Hao took out his ID card and handed it to the staff.

After swiping the card, passing through the gate, going through the security check, and completing a series of procedures, you can really walk into the Potala Palace Scenic Area.

Tang Xiaoxiao said with a shocked expression: "You actually booked tickets in advance online!"
