"Brother Shakru, get up quickly, or you won't be able to catch up with the golden Taj Mahal." Shakru was in a daze when he heard Amitha's knock outside the door.

Since the two had suffered a terrible blow at the Rat Temple in Bikaner, they planned to go to a beautiful place to relieve their injuries, so they went to the Taj Mahal, India's most famous attraction, the New Seven Wonders of the World, and what a generation of writer Rabindranath Tagore called "a tear on the eternal cheek". (Although there are many students who voted for me to write about strange attractions, please let me finish writing about the Taj Mahal first, after all, the cover of this book is the Taj Mahal!) ）

The golden Taj Mahal mentioned by Amisa is actually a very peculiar landscape of the Taj Mahal itself, because the main body of the entire Taj Mahal is made of pure white marble, so throughout the day, with the difference in the intensity of the sun at dawn, noon and sunset, the light and color shining on the mausoleum will be unpredictable, showing different wonders. In the morning, it is brilliant gold, in the daytime sun is dazzling white, under the sunset, the white Taj Mahal from gray yellow, golden, gradually to pink, dark red, light cyan, and in the moonlight it becomes silvery-white, white marble reflects a faint blue fluorescence, but also gives people a feeling of fairyland. So some people say that if you don't see the Taj Mahal, you can't count yourself as having been to India; If you don't go to the Taj Mahal under the moonlight, you can't count as having been to the Taj Mahal.

As a result, the Taj Mahal is the only attraction in the world with different ticket prices in the morning, noon and evening, costing only 30 rupees during the day, 110 rupees before 7am, and a terrifying 1,500 rupees in the evening. This is again the price for local Indians, and the ticket price for foreign tourists is 750 rupees even during the day, and the rest of the time is increased proportionally. On Friday, you won't be able to get in, even if you have the money, because the Taj Mahal is closed every Friday and is only open to MSL. (In a country where 80 percent of the country's population is Hindu, it turns out that the most famous attraction is actually ******, which is also a relatively interesting thing.) ）

Since Shakru and Amisha have come to the Taj Mahal, they naturally don't want to leave any regrets, of course they don't want to miss this golden Taj Mahal, so Shakru agreed, and washed up hastily, and hurried to breakfast, because the security check in the Taj Mahal is extremely strict, and no food is allowed to be carried, so you must eat a little more, otherwise if you are hungry, no matter what beautiful scenery you see, you will not be in a good mood.

Came to the Taj Mahal, just in time for the morning light to sprinkle the dome, the whole Taj Mahal appears splendid, catch up with this beautiful scenery, naturally to take crazy pictures to preserve the treasure, just when Sha Kelu took pictures, a cleanly dressed middle-aged man came over and kindly instructed Sha Keru to shoot the Taj Mahal from different angles, not to mention, under his guidance, he was able to take different photos, and the effect was very good.

At first, Shakru didn't react, but he quickly did, and at the end of the shoot he handed the middle-aged man a tip of five hundred rupees, and the man turned away in gratitude. It was only at this time that Amisha asked with some uncertainty: "Brother Shakru, this man doesn't just make money by helping people take pictures, right?" ”

Shakru pointed to the middle-aged man who walked up to a foreign tourist and said, "Obviously, he is in this business, but he is very smart and discerning, so he is not annoying in this way, but how much he can earn depends on his luck." ”

Amisha nodded, "Well, if everyone gives him five hundred rupees like you do Brother Shaklu, then he will earn a lot more than he would go to work." ”

"That's also his cleverness and politeness, okay, now that we've finished taking pictures, let's continue to admire and worship this great Taj Mahal." Shakru said with a smile.

Walking through the solemn and majestic doorway, the two walked into the interior of the Taj Mahal with the team, Amisha looked at the exquisite reliefs and inlaid gems in the central octagonal hall, and said enviously: "This Taj Mahal is so happy, to have a husband who really loves her like the Emperor Shaguhan, but unfortunately he died in his thirties." ”

Shakru laughed and said: "After 19 years in the palace, giving birth to 14 children, and almost every year I am pregnant, I can live for nineteen years in this state, and this body is already very good." ”

Amisha said a little embarrassed: "Well, that's because people didn't know how to prevent pregnancy at that time, otherwise it would definitely not be like this." ”

It may be that Amisha herself thinks this reason is too far-fetched, so she diverts the topic and says: "Brother Shakru, you said that if the Shakuhan Emperor really built the same black mausoleum opposite the Taj Mahal back then, how spectacular it would be!" ”

"The construction of this Taj Mahal alone has already drained the treasury of the Mughal Empire, where is the money to build a second one!" Shakru sighed, in fact, even the rich Sha Guhan didn't have this chance, because after that, he was usurped by his own son.

The two chatted and strolled around, and soon it was noon, and it was natural to go out to take pictures of the white Taj Mahal at this time, so Amisha took out a pair of white socks from her small bag and handed them to Shakru and said, "Brother Shakru, hurry up and put them on, we have to go out and take pictures." ”

It's the end of June, the hottest time of the year in India, so the sun is blazing, and the Taj Mahal is located on a marble pedestal three or four stories high, so the marble slabs at this time are like a steaming steamer under the hot sun, but all those who enter the mausoleum must first take off their shoes as a sign of respect when they climb the stairs, even if foreign heads of state come.

However, if you walk barefoot on the marble steps at this time, it will not take long for the soles of your feet to be burned, so experienced tourists will prepare white socks in advance to wear them at this time to avoid burns.

After photographing the white Taj Mahal at noon, the two walked out of the scenic area, returned to the hotel to eat and rest, and waited until dusk to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Taj Mahal at night. Because they got up too early in the morning, and they went shopping all morning and all morning, both of them were hungry and tired, and after lunch, they fell asleep in bed.

When the two returned to the Taj Mahal in the evening, they unexpectedly found that many people gathered there at the entrance of the scenic spot, waving long banners and shouting loud slogans.
