Chapter 75: Travel
travel
Lin Ya walked out of the hotel, wearing a three-quarter sleeved sweatshirt and a pair of slim jeans. The altitude of Lhasa is higher than that of City B, and the temperature is more than ten degrees or more lower than that of City B, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is also very large. But after the sun rose, it was very sunny. Lin Ya put on sunscreen well before going out, and wore a hat on her head.
Lin Ya plans to stay in Lhasa for two to three days, and the first stop today is to go to the Potala Palace, which is known as the "Pearl of the Plateau", because the hotel where Lin Ya lives is not particularly far from the Potala Palace, and it will only take about 40 minutes to walk. So Lin Ya didn't take the car at all, but strolled through the streets of Lhasa, but fortunately, Lin Ya learned a few words of Tibetan before coming. With the ability to memorize, Lin Ya only memorized part of the basic Tibetan and a few daily words, after all, Lin Ya had only read it for a short day, and said that he might not be very optimistic, but looking at the signs and instructions on the street was not a big problem. And when you come, you will find that in fact, it is very convenient to use Chinese and Tibetan scripts here.
Along the way, a strong Tibetan style came to the face. Lin Ya was overjoyed.
All the way to the Potala Palace, but unfortunately, Lin Ya also learned after arriving here that the Potala Palace is a pre-sale ticket every day, 2,300 tickets, 100 yuan each. Nothing more, nothing less.
However, Lin Ya inquired and booked tickets for nine o'clock tomorrow morning. However, Lin Ya still took a lot of photos outside the Potala Palace.
After that, Lin Ya went to the Jokhang Temple, where she walked around and took some photos before leaving. Although Lin Ya is interested in the artificial landscape of Buddhist temples, if it is to take pictures, Lin Ya still prefers natural scenery. However, there are very good Buddhist carvings in the Jokhang Temple, and Lin Ya also likes them very much. But it's a pity that Lin Ya is not a Buddhist, so it's just a look. The reason why he left so quickly was also because there were many devout believers in the Jokhang Temple, and Lin Ya didn't pay homage, so I don't know why it was a little embarrassing to stay in such an environment.
Don't look at Lin Ya, she has read a lot of Buddhist scriptures, and even embroidered several statues of Guanyin, but Lin Ya really doesn't believe in Buddhism. Of course, Lin Ya does not believe in other sects, and Lin Ya is a standard materialist. Although Lin Ya has been reborn several times, ╮(╯▽╰)╭
From this point, it can be seen that the basic education in our country is still very good, otherwise how could an unscientific materialist like Lin Ya be cultivated!
Leaving the Jokhang Temple, Lin Ya looked at the time, directly found a shop for lunch, in the afternoon Lin Ya planned to go to Barkhor Street to stroll, heard the local people say that it is a famous transit road and commercial center in Lhasa, finally come back Lin Ya plans to buy some handicrafts and the like, and then send it home directly with the postal package.
At noon, Lin Ya went directly to a clean-looking restaurant on the street, there were not too many people in it, Lin Ya directly ordered two home-cooked dishes, a fish-flavored eggplant, a yellow stewed beef, and an egg drop soup and a bowl of rice. The taste is okay, at least compared to yesterday's Tibetan specialty meal, it is more in line with Lin Ya's taste.
After lunch, Lin Ya went to Barkhor Street, visited the meridian road and the Maggie Ami Tavern, which is a street with strong Tibetan style, Lin Ya stayed here for a whole afternoon, until the sunset, Lin Ya took the thangka, Tibetan knife and some other prayer beads, tribute incense and so on back to her place of residence.
After inquiring with the proprietress about it, Lin Ya went to send the things she bought home early the next morning, because there was no one at home, so Lin Ya called her mother directly, and then sent the things to where Jiang Fan lived now.
The next day Lin Ya visited the Potala Palace, and on the third day, Lin Ya took a bus from Lhasa to Shigatse. Lin Ya's travel plan this time is to go to Lhasa and Shigatse again.
The time of this trip was controlled by Lin Ya in eight to ten days, not that Lin Ya didn't want to play outside for a few more days, but the college entrance examination results would generally come out in about half a month, and then Lin Ya and the others needed to fill in the volunteers. That's why Lin Ya arranged it like this.
Lin Ya only stayed in Shigatse City for two short days, visiting Baiju Monastery and Tashilhunpo Monastery. After that, Lin Ya went to the place that Lin Ya wanted to go to the most on this trip, Mount Everest.
However, because of the special topography of Mount Everest, Lin Ya chose a local travel agency to go with the group. After all, you need to apply for a border permit to go there, and it is very troublesome for individuals to handle it, it is better to report a group directly, although it costs some money, but it will save a lot of things, and the place where Mount Everest is located is about five thousand meters or even higher, and it is safer to follow a professional tour group.
The group that Lin Ya followed belonged to a VIP group, and there were very few people, plus Lin Ya was only eight people, including five men and two women, among which there were two pairs of boyfriends and girlfriends, and the remaining three seemed to be college students who came to travel. It seems strange that Lin Ya is the only one who travels here. However, Lin Ya is still very satisfied with this tour group, starting from Shigatse, the tour group directly chartered a car to send Lin Ya and them directly to Dingri County, where the Everest base camp is located, which is much more comfortable than taking a public car. On the way, Lin Ya and the others rested for a while in several scenic places. Lin Ya took a lot of photos there, and she was indeed very aura. Lin Ya even felt that this might be the best state since she learned photography.
Lin Ya was very happy all the way and felt the kind of freedom she had never felt before. In the evening, Lin Ya and the others arrived at the base camp of Mount Everest. It's just a pity that Lin Ya didn't come at the right time, it is the rainy season of Mount Everest, and it is not suitable for climbing, and there will always be a shower in the middle of the day.
So the few people who came with this group actually felt very disappointed. After resting at the Everest base camp for one night, and resting for another day the next day, although Lin Ya and the others could not climb high and look far, they could also take a walk around the Everest base camp to have a look. Lin Ya has also taken a lot of photos in the past few days, although the weather is not very good, but Lin Ya brought some auxiliary tools when she came this time, and the photos taken in the end still feel very good.
Lin Ya also got along well with a few people who came to travel together, after all, everyone was in a better mood when they came out to play, and they didn't get along with each other on some trivial matters. The three college students are all from the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts, and I heard that they are already juniors, and now they are taking advantage of the holidays to come out to collect style.
The two pairs of boyfriends and girlfriends are older than Lin Ya, and they all know each other. Listening to their conversation, it seems that they are all from the same company, and they are about to hang out together.
However, it is a pity that Lin Ya and her sisters took the Everest base camp for three days, and the weather has not been good. Because of the weather, the tour guide has always been reluctant to approve of everyone going to the mountain. Lin Ya doesn't care, it's really not okay, you can come over and have a look during the winter vacation, it's not impossible. Although the three college students were not very happy in their hearts, the students were thin-skinned, and they also knew that the guide's words were not wrong, after all, if something happened, everyone would be doomed.
It's just that those two pairs of adults are not as reasonable as Lin Ya and them, and they follow the tour guide every day, and they don't speak very well. Lin Ya was really too lazy to pay attention, she looked quite cultured at first, but she was completely exposed within two days of arriving here.
finally survived the next day, Lin Ya and the others were going to leave, and the four of them had to spend so much travel money and stay for a few days.
And that's not all, they have to ask the guide to take them out for a spin, even if they don't climb Mount Everest, they have to go around the Himalayas around Mount Everest.
Lin Ya didn't want to join in the fun, so she left the group directly on the third day and went back to Shigatse City directly. Then take a flight to Chengdu International Airport in Shigatse. Stayed there for a day, after which I flew straight back to City B.
