Chapter 227: Joining a Tour
I did my homework before coming to Lhasa this time, I know that as long as I am here, I don't care about anything about the spirit pattern, Qin Yinian and Nie Gu don't know anything when they come out of the underground palace, and Mosi is a living treasure! I can't count on any of these people!
The Gonggar airport is a civilian-military international airport and one of the highest airports in the world. Although its name is Lhasa Gonggar Airport, the airport is actually located in Gonggar County, Shannan City, southwest of Lhasa City, and is more than 80 kilometers away from the center of Lhasa.
So we had to take a bus to Lhasa, so I arranged for a few of them to get on the bus from the airport to Lhasa, so there was no trouble.
After a while, the car was full of people, it seemed to be a group of tourists from the mainland to Tibet, and finally a beautiful woman wearing Tibetan traditional clothes came up, but the skin was dark, the Tibetan plateau area, the air was thin, and the ultraviolet radiation was strong, so the skin color of the people here was mostly bronze, which is also one of the characteristics of Tibetan compatriots
This beautiful woman knew a local Tibetan tour guide at a glance, and as soon as she got in the car, she stumbled and introduced. It doesn't matter if there are other passengers on the bus besides the tour group!
"Everyone, it's still early, the hotel has been arranged, we arrived in Lhasa to stay first, have lunch and rest for a while, in the afternoon we will go to visit the Potala Palace, I will give you a brief introduction, the Potala Palace was built in the northwest of Lhasa City on the Maburi Mountain, the earliest was the Tubo Dynasty Songtsen Gampo to marry Princess Wencheng and built. It was rebuilt in the 17th century. In 1961, the Potala Palace became one of the first key cultural relics protection units in China. The main building of the Potala Palace is divided into two parts: the White House and the Red Palace......
Qin Yinian and Nie Gu probably stayed in the Qinling Underground Palace for a long time, and they listened with great interest, as for Qin Cuihua, she felt that everything was fresh, and she was excited, but fortunately, I sat next to her and stared at her all the time, so she didn't dare to move.
At this time, a middle-aged uncle sitting in the front row of us asked in a voice: Zhuoma, I have seen such a legend on the Internet, saying that there is an underground passage under the Potala Palace, which leads to Shangri-La, a paradise! Is it true?
As soon as the uncle's voice fell, Cuihua, who was sitting next to me, opened her mouth and shouted: "I have also seen it on the Internet!" I hurriedly glared at her, Zhuoma looked at Xiao Cuihua, smiled, and said: Many tourists have asked the same question, but I don't know this, the Potala Palace is a holy place in the hearts of our Tibetan people, plus it is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, so outsiders always seem to be a little mysterious, but even today she does have three unsolved mysteries, the first is that I still don't know how many rooms the Potala Palace has? The scale of the Forbidden City is larger than that of the Potala Palace, but experts have calculated that there are a total of 9,855 Forbidden City rooms after rigorous statistics and surveys. There has been no accurate number of rooms in the Potala Palace, and even if it is counted one by one, it is not clear. Because the results of statistics are completely different at different times! Therefore, some domestic experts even suspect that some rooms in the Potala Palace can be moved!
The second is that you asked about this mysterious passage! It has always been rumored that under the Potala Palace, there is a mysterious passage to Shambhala, the Garden of Bliss. Tibetan monks have said different things about this theory, and some people have tried to find this path in the past, but it took a lot of time to no avail. However, some people say that they once found the entrance, but the passage seems to have opened at a certain time! So I missed the opportunity to enter the passage.
The third unsolved mystery is that since the Potala Palace was built, although it has gone through chaos and war, it has always stood and has not been damaged by the war, and even the internal facilities, including the Buddha statue, have not been destroyed at all, as if there is some kind of force protecting the palace. You must know that for thousands of years, Tibetans have practiced sky burial, so the gold on the plateau was not buried in the ground as a burial object, but a large part of it entered the Potala Palace, some Buddha statues in the Potala Palace are gilded, and some Buddha statues and ritual instruments are pure gold! Very valuable.
The words of the tour guide lady immediately enlivened the atmosphere in the bus, and the tourists were talking about it one after another, and everyone seemed to be more and more interested in the Potala Palace!
I also think it's very interesting, this time I took Qin Yinian and them out to play, I chose to come to Lhasa, because I have always been interested in Buddhism, this is not to say that I believe in Buddhism, but I found that science has developed to this day, we have solved more and more problems, but we have encountered more problems, especially the rise of modern quantum mechanics, put some incredible problems in front of us! It's like we're on our way, but when the end is in sight, we realize that it's just another beginning! And looking back, it seems that Buddhism gave the answer to this question thousands of years ago! The so-called non-wind, non-wind, benevolent heart! Is the world we perceive really the only one that exists?
The biggest characteristic of me is that I am too curious, and I must figure out what I don't understand! In fact, on these issues, I also asked Qin Yinian and them for advice many times when I was bored, after all, their civilization is much more developed than ours, but he told me that these are also problems that have plagued them for a long time on the Dashley Demon Star! He doesn't know the answer either!
"Hello, you guys don't seem to be from our tour group, right?" Just as I was immersed in my own thoughts, someone spoke at me! When I looked up, it turned out to be the tour guide who had walked up to us.
"We also came to the Potala Palace to play, but we didn't join the tour group!" I came back to my senses and hurriedly replied.
"Then why did you get on this bus, this is the chartered bus of our tour group!" The Tibetan beauty asked expressionlessly.
I thought to myself, it seems that I got on the wrong bus! Quickly apologized to her and said that he could make up the ticket money for a few of us to her.
This Tibetan tour guide, looked at a few of us, suddenly changed an enthusiastic expression, she pulled me to the empty seat in the back of the bus, I felt inexplicable for a while, am I so attractive, this little Tibetan beauty can't help but want the overlord to bow hard?! But how embarrassed am I to ...... in public!
While I was still immersed in wonderful fantasies, the young guide leaned up to me and whispered to me:
"Big brother! Since you are also traveling to Lhasa, why don't you join our tour group, and I will give you a 20% discount after deducting the air ticket! Much cheaper than theirs! ”
I was embarrassed for a moment, and then I understood what she meant.
"In addition to the Potala Palace, our tour route has many other projects! There is also a bonfire in the evening! Look at so many of us, how lively! And if you don't join the group, you won't be able to go to the Potala Palace this afternoon! To visit the Potala Palace, you have to make an appointment one day in advance! Don't you all know that you're here for tourism? ”
As soon as I heard it, I was stupid, how could it be so troublesome to spend money on travel, seeing this beauty so enthusiastically encouraging us to join the group, the key is that she was so close to me, blowing like an orchid, which made me feel ape, I wanted to join the group, I just had to concentrate on Qin Cuihua! At that moment, I looked at her like a spirit pattern knife and discussed with her about the five of us joining the tour group.
