"Hello, I'm Chen Xing." Chen Xing walked up and said. The Tibetan tour guide glanced at Chen Xing, then nodded and said, "Then our team is here, a total of six people, do you want to know each other?" Everyone shook their heads slightly, or looked embarrassed.

Pingshui met, and they dispersed after two hours, and there was really no need to know. The three apparently acquaintances did not move, chatting, and the other three tourists who were traveling alone greeted each other.

Forty-year-old Li Gang is a big car driver, he has driven to the holy city many times, and he has never been in the Potala Palace once, but this time he found some free time, and it happened that he had recently bought tickets, so he decided to come and see.

24-year-old Gong Ziying has been driving her RV all over the country for half a year, and she just arrived in the holy city yesterday. It is worth mentioning that Gong Ziying's name is a bit feminine, but she is a relatively sunny looking gentleman, and she talks very closely.

After a brief understanding, the Tibetan tour guide said, "Okay, it's time to start checking tickets, let's go." "He also got a ticket to enter the Potala Palace, but he is a Tibetan, and the ticket is different from that of foreign tourists, not only only only for two yuan, but also can be bought at any time, unlike Chen Xing, who has to grab tickets, and there are people who can't grab tickets for several days in the peak season.

To enter the Potala Palace, you first have to walk a long flight of stairs. The tour guide stopped and said: "From here, you can see that the main body of our Potala Palace is divided into two colors: red and white, also known as the White House and the Red Palace respectively. To the east, through the gate of the Great Awakening Liberation Road, it goes straight to the Red Palace; Through the gate of the Convergence Path, we arrived at the East Courtyard of the White House through the Monk School. ”

"In the Red Palace, there are spiritual pagodas and various Buddhist halls and scriptures of the past generations of senior monks and masters, and the White House is the place where the senior monks of the past dynasties deal with government affairs and live and live, but now many functions have been abandoned." Of course, some functions have to be abandoned, and a new society is coming.

When everyone walked to the top, they saw a platform and saw a white building. The tour guide said: "The main hall of the White House is the East Hall, this is this one, you can take a picture here, and then you have to put away the camera." The east hall is 25.8 meters wide and 27.8 meters long, sitting north and facing south, and any major religious activities or celebrations are held here. "Everyone took out their cameras and took pictures.

The Potala Palace is the best shooting point for the Holy Land, due to the particularity of this building, there is no taller building in the entire Holy City, so shooting here can take a panoramic view of the entire Holy Land, the camera is a little better, with a super telephoto, it is no problem to look at the alleys far away as a telescope.

After everyone took some photos, the tour guide continued to walk with the people. Go through the tunnel to a large square.

"The Tibetan name of this square is

"Deyang Xia", which means East Happy Square. In the square, you can see the monk's school at the back, and the surrounding two-story buildings are monks' houses. The Tibetan guide began to tell the story of his previous involvement in the construction of the place, but Chen Xing saw a huge drum at the gate of the monastic school.

"What does this drum do?" Chen Xing asked.

"You remember that there is a bell in the school, and this drum is used to gather monks in this school, and they will have the opportunity to become officials in the monk system after graduating from here." Chen Xing still had a little impression of the word monk, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that it was mentioned in the book given by the monk Da Jingteng on the Chunmanzhai Mountain in southern Yunnan.

It is a kind of official who manages the affairs of temples and monks and nuns. Is there such a system in modern times? He also thought that all monks were under the direct jurisdiction of the religious administration.

The official tour does not begin until you enter the White House from the square. The tour guide said: "The hat is going to be taken off, the camera and the mobile phone are put away, it's best not to take out the mobile phone and point it at anything on the way, someone will check it all the time, and some gestures can't be done, you know?" Do you need a reminder? "This tour guide is more dedicated, and the Mandarin is also good.

The three little girls who were huddled went up and asked, but Chen Xing didn't move. The tour guide first led a few people into the East Hall.

"The main viewing point in the east hall is the mural, the palace wall tunnel is six meters thick, look at the mural here, everyone, this is the four King Kong murals, and the mainland New Year paintings have a certain similarity." If he didn't say it, Chen Xing would still think it was a New Year's painting.

Moving on, there are more and more murals and thangka works. The porch of the White House has a map of Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet, a map of reincarnation, a map of mandalas, folklore, etc., which cannot be said to be lifelike, but the religious style is strong, so that the viewer can feel the weight of its Chinese, and they still retain the gold book of the senior monk canonized by the Manchu Qing Emperor, and the golden appearance is like the customs clearance document taken by the Tang monk in Journey to the West, but it is all gold.

Gong Ziying sighed: "I heard that there are 100 tons of gold here, and I never believe it, but we have only been in for a long time, and we have seen a lot of gold." "Isn't it, not to mention the gold decorations, even some of the pillars, ceilings, etc., where there are no works of art, are inlaid with gold and precious stones, making this Potala Palace look quaint and luxurious, it is simply a perfect example of low-key luxury.

Everyone was numb during the subsequent visit. Too much gold. Gold, precious stones, these words have always appeared in the mouths of Tibetan guides.

The occasional surprise is the whispered screams of the three girls. I don't know what is surprising, isn't it the true body of a certain generation of monks who are sealed in the spirit pagoda?

Isn't there several such spiritual pagodas, what is there to be afraid of? If he didn't feel that the idea of making a fortune on such an occasion was a little inappropriate, he would have wanted to find someone to talk about how much he could sell for a spiritual pagoda like this.

They saw the last pagoda, the largest golden pagoda they had ever seen.

The tour guide introduced the same as before: "This is the 13th monk Ling Pagoda Hall, built in 1934, the tower is 12.97 meters high, the base of the tower is 7.83 meters wide, and it consumes two tons of gold. The tower surface is inlaid with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, dzi, opal, agate, jade, pearls, corals, amber, dextras, and other rare treasures in the world, about 10,000 ...... "Many people who heard this sentence swallowed a mouthful of saliva inexplicably.

"If this thing is moved out, it will be enough for a city to eat and drink for several years, right?" Chen Xing was startled, thinking that he said it, but when his eyes rolled and he realized that it was Gong Ziying who said it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I guess everyone thinks about it. Gong Ziying also reacted, and sighed: "Sins and sins, today's merits are gone." ”
