Some of them were tired by plane, so Lelang and they took a lunch break, and when they woke up, Han Yajing was already waiting for them. Han Yajing took Le Lang and them to the Lotus Huā Temple, which is one of India's famous attractions. Originally, she wanted to take Lelang to the India Gate and Gandhi Monument, but Lelang refused. The India Gate is built in imitation of the British triumphal arch, which is not very good-looking, and the Gandhi Monument is used to commemorate the father of the Indian nation, not to mention, but the white temple Le Lang has not yet been seen.

When you come to the lotus huā temple, it looks like a lotus huā from a distance, built by more than 100 pieces of pure dolomite, and there are six pools of water pools next to it, which looks like a white lotus huā blooming in the water. After reading it, Le Lang felt the cruelty of an old saying, "It's better to be famous than to meet." ”

However, on the way, he saw some Indian women wearing a lot of traditional saris, but unfortunately most of them are some aunt-level people, few eye-catching, not as good-looking as women in Indian songs and dances" This made him feel that his weak heart was deceived, but Ashmita, who came to pick up the airport today, can also be regarded as a beauty, but it is a pity that she is wearing work clothes.

Coming out of the Lotus Huā Temple, Han Yajing took them to the Red Fort in Delhi again.

When he came to the Red Fort, Le Lang's depressed mood was a little better, and he felt that it was a bit interesting here.

Looking at the red city wall from afar, I feel that the magnificent "style that is completely different from the Chinese architecture" is amazing. However, he didn't like the red castle very much, it was all red sandstone, but it was red, and if it weren't for the exquisite buildings on it, it would really be useless. The castle was built by Shah Jahan, the fifth emperor of the ancient Mughal Empire in India, who was saddened by the death of the Taj Mahal and moved the capital from Agra to Delhi.

The palace is very large, the city walls are very high, the moat outside is extraordinary, the famous Lahore Gate outside the Red Fort is the place where India's first "Governor" Nehru declared India *** in 1947, after passing through the long street market within the city walls, it is the royal palace "The ancient buildings in the palace are beautiful and magnificent" is amazing, it is difficult to imagine that the building is carved so finely in that detail.

The fifth emperor of the ancient Mughal Empire, Shah Jahan, inherited the vast and wealthy kingdom left by his father from a young age, "so to speak, eating the food of his ancestors, and later marrying the beautiful Queen Taj, who not only bore him fourteen children" but also fought side by side with him and gave advice, which led to the creation of the extraordinary Mughal Empire.

Although Shah Jahan was an emperor, he had a deep affection for the Taj, and in the years after the death of the Taj Maj, "it took more than ten years to complete the construction of the mausoleum of his beloved wife" and created one of the most beautiful love fairy tales in the world: this man was brilliant and could be called an architectural maniac.

Unfortunately, in his later years, his third son, Olenzebshi, usurped power and imprisoned him in a small castle for nine years, and the glory days of the Mochener dynasty came to an end, and the Mughal Empire began to decline, followed by British power to control Delhi, and finally in 1857, in India's movement against British colonial rule, the usurping emperor was convicted by the British and exiled to Burma.

History is always unbearable to look at, and what a glorious dynasty will one day be bleak. Now the "throne is no longer "glorious passing", leaving only this castle that has witnessed the vicissitudes of history, at most the soul of the past is floating in the sky above it, and history will always leave us only endless vicissitudes and feelings.

There were a large number of vendors selling handicrafts at the entrance of the Red Fort, and when they saw Lelang, they seemed to know that they were from China, "shouting loudly" and "five, ten, twenty." When Le Lang heard this, he wanted to go over and take a look, but was stopped by Han Yajing and said don't buy things here, these people are all dedicated to killing tourists like them.

Le Lang listened to it and forgot it, and then ran to Old Delhi under the leadership of Han Yajing.

Old Delhi New Delhi is actually the name of the old city in our mouth, how the city of a place is new, but the essence is still those older places, because the new place has lost that traditional color, has become inhumane.

Compared with New Delhi, Old Delhi is very cluttered, with many cars, crowded, and a dazzling array of goods on the street, and the popularity is surging. Han Yajing parked the car outside, and several people walked in, and along the way, a large number of things that were obviously different from China were filled in front of them, making people's eyes confused.

On the side of the road, a few artists with musical instruments were beating drums and playing instruments, and the distinctive voice "will immediately take you to a foreign world."

As he walked, he watched, and suddenly Saburo pulled him and shouted, "Uncle Alang, Uncle Alang, there are snakes, there are snakes." ”

Le Lang turned his head to look, "I saw an old man playing a musical instrument on the street corner, and in a straw basket in front of him, a cobra swayed with his bewitching figure, like a gentle Indian woman." But this cobra is not a gentle animal, in South and Southeast Asia, there are thousands of related deaths every year by cobra bites, cobras are very venomous snakes, cobras can even spew venom one to two meters.

This is a snake charmer, the snake charmer has black red skin, a face full of vicissitudes, and his mouth is not only exotic and snake-repellent dance music, but also the helplessness of life. The old man just buried his head in the instrument, and didn't care if anyone looked at him or not, as if he didn't care at all.

After watching it for a while, Le Lang pulled Shaoqing and them away, "By the way, I took a little money to help the old man."

In some tropical countries, especially in the Arab countries, some snake charmers like to use different kinds of snakes, and snake charmers will scare the snake into a defensive posture with the front of its body lifted off the ground. When the snake is tamed by the snake charmer, "the snake reacts differently to the snake charmer's movements and the music played", and many snake charmers make a living from this craft, just like the well-known hawkers of the mixed rivers and lakes.

Snake charmers are actually a very dangerous profession, and they will be bitten to death by snakes if they are not careful, but snake charmers generally know how to dodge snake attacks, and some snake charmers will also pull out the snake's fangs to avoid being bitten, but this is only a decimal. After the snake was extracted, it didn't live long.

Don't go over the snake charmer, come to an old shop specializing in selling sarees, according to Han Yajing, this shop has a history of decades, is considered a family business, and several branches are also engaged in export business. When you enter the store, you can see that the cloth in the store is dazzling, and it still retains its ancient characteristics, and it not only sells cloth and ready-to-wear clothes, but also makes them custom-made.

Shaoqing ordered a few saris in the store, and Le Lang asked Han Yajing to order a few too, Han Yajing was both a driver and a tour guide, and she always had to express it.

The owner of the shop was very enthusiastic, and kept introducing the most beautiful and trendy saris to Shaoqing and Han Yajing, "The price of the sari here is between 250 and 25,000 rupees, and one yuan is almost between 7.8 rupees, which is not very expensive." I ordered a few saris from the boss, and said that I would come back later to get them immediately, so I continued shopping.

Some people who have been here say that the environment in India is super bad, in fact, it is so-so, "in the past", the small cities and towns in China were not the same, and we were tourists, not residents, "Why do you care so much?" There is a saying in southern Fujian called "other people's dead girls can't die...... that means that other people's children are dead and don't care about your business. You can't take care of so many things in our own country, what are you doing abroad, you just go over there and take a walk, soak the pee and come back, don't worry about other things. Just like government officials, go down to the grassroots, eat and drink, pat their butts and leave, and then the world should be like that.

Coming out of the sari shop, Le Lang and the others walked while watching. Suddenly, Le Lang saw a shop selling musical instruments, and the instruments in it were strange and full of exotic styles. After looking at it, he walked inside, which was a shop that specialized in selling traditional Indian musical instruments.

In addition to selling a variety of traditional Indian musical instruments, the shop also produces musical instruments, and the upstairs of the shop is a small musical instrument factory, which is actually a small-scale handicraft workshop. The relatively primitive handmade method is still preserved here. Under the hospitality of the boss, Le Lang walked up to take a look, "There is an old man making a traditional Indian tambourine called "Doraka".

Le Lang inspected the store and bought a piano that doesn't play the piano, playing the piano is like a long spoon, the strings are behind the spoon, it looks weird, and it's fun to look at, "I bought it, as for whether I can play it, whether it's an Indian tune, does it matter?" He also bought a few noodles for Saburo to play with, and the drum noodles were all made of lizard skin and snake skin.

After buying the musical instruments, they saw that it was not too early, so they went back to the shop where the sari was made and got the finished clothes.

There are many small shops such as sari shops and musical instrument shops in Old Delhi, which are like "treasures" hidden in the noisy street markets and dilapidated buildings.

This is true of Old Delhi, and the same is true of some old urban areas in China, some people have pushed some old urban areas into new urban areas, and many things have been lost in the meantime, such as traditional taste and people's hearts! ~！
