There is no shelter from the castle, so it's the best place to watch the sunset over the castle. In fact, from the observation deck, the east is on the left side of the castle and the west is on the right side of the castle, so whether it is sunset or sunrise, it is a good location to watch the panoramic view www.biquge.info of the castle or just to watch it.

After visiting the Haveli building, I went back to my accommodation to rest and eat something, and then 80 took a tuk-tuk to the observation deck. The observation deck is located on a mound, and the view from the direction of the castle is very open, unobstructed, and Xue Luo and Liu Jingshu sit quietly on this platform, waiting for the sunset.

Two local women dressed in saris with children on the observation deck sell small goods to tourists. There are few tourists, and business is light. A legend from One Thousand and One Nights: Jayselmel was originally a heavenly palace, but was only cursed by a magician to be lowered into a desolate desert.

In front of you, the city of Jaiselmer, nestled in the desert, is surrounded by a fairytale towering ancient castle that glows golden in the setting sun. This is truly a golden city. You can't sit here for a long time, otherwise, it's easy to get into a dream. An ancient castle high above.

The old royal palace standing on top of the ancient castle resembles the bow of a giant ship. The castle watchtower in the setting sun and the Jain temple that towers over it like an ancient castle amulet. It was night and I walked back to the castle on the shiny old stone path. This is the advantage of living in the castle, not to delay the night view of the castle.

There are few passers-by on the path, the soft orange lights are sprinkled on the ground, the wind is too light to touch, and entering the city at night is really like stepping into a dream castle in a Hollywood cartoon. Many of the castle's shops are not closed, but they are rarely frequented by tourists. The shopkeeper's enthusiasm to say hello was also eroded, and the front of the door became more and more deserted, accompanied only by a lone lamp.

In front of the shop, only the fabrics and a row of empty stools stood silent, and not a single ghost was missing. Try the feel of each piece. A clerk came out to say hello. This shop was recommended by the owner of the inn where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu lived, and the trust level was inherently advantageous, and with the team of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, good business came to the door.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is polite!" The store is trying to promote the collector's edition of Kashmiri pure cashmere scarves, which have four or five grades, and the prices range from 1000 to 9000 yuan and 100~900 yuan. In order to prove that his goods are from reliable sources, the boss took out a photo album and said that his home was in Kashmir, and the scarves were wool taken from his sheep.

It was made by his own factory, and a few photos taken locally from the album were used as proof. He also gestured with his hand and said: The best cashmere scarf is taken from the hair on the sheep's beard. Xueluo muttered in her heart: The hair on this sheep's beard is very scarce, but will it be a little prickly? Xueluo has a very poor ability to recognize textiles, but he can touch it with his hands.

The high price does feel good, a soft and delicate feeling of velvet. The teammates wanted to buy it, but they couldn't make up their minds about the suit. The boss sighed secretly: The purchasing power of the people of the Dragon Kingdom is really good!

The jewelry of another stone shop, the two pieces on the left are red coral necklaces, the one on the right is red coral and turquoise, and the one in the middle is like a small swimming snake and directly ignored. If this red coral is real, then the price must be doubled in China and it will only make a profit, right? But Xueluo didn't dare to buy it, for fear that he would buy a fake and return to China to make people see it as a laughing stock.

Also, Xueluo really doesn't understand these things: is the red coral from the bottom of the sea? Or is it from some kind of red stone? I don't dare to buy finished stones, for fear of selling fakes, once bitten by snakes, I will be afraid of well ropes for the rest of my life. Finally, when he left Jincheng, he scooped up these four rough stones, and Xueluo thought that the rough stones would not be fake, and there were many cracks in mustard on them.

However, even if it is fake, although the price of Xueluo is by no means like cabbage, it is not worth being too distressed. The first two stones can not be named, only feel that the complexion is good, the back two pieces of snow fall know that it is called "lapis lazuli", back to the country, once went to the jewelry market to ask the price of lapis lazuli, the seller said to weigh the gram sale.

Is it so valuable? Jaiselmer Day TourToday is the 11th day of your trip to India and the third and final day of your trip to the Golden City of Jaiselmer. Full-day day trip to Jincheng. In the morning, we went to Lake Gadish, a small lake outside the city, and in the afternoon, we visited the Jain temples in the ancient fort.

In the morning, Jayselmer walked out of the castle with Liu Jingshu, and walked all the way to see Lake Gadisha, a small sacred lake in the south of the city. On the way, in some streets and alleys on the south side of the castle, I saw a lot of small and medium-sized hotels and inns, two of which went in to see, the conditions were not bad, the price was good, of course, the location was not as convenient as living in the castle, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

If you want to live more comfortably and cheaply, you can live under the castle, which is actually very close to the castle and about a quarter of an hour's walk to the castle entrance. Jayselmel's house is much better than the inn where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu live at a glance. The price should also be able to talk about 2000 which is equivalent to less than 200 yuan.

Jayselmeier, a small hotel called it, the owner warmly invited Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to visit, it was very beautiful, and the room conditions were much better than the inn where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu lived, but the price was much cheaper. Although the hotel is not located in the castle, you can see the castle up close through the windows or from the terrace on the roof.

The rooms of the Jaiselmeier Hotel are spacious, bright and antique, which is obviously better than Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's too much, and the boss offers only 800~1000 yuan, which is equivalent to 80~100 yuan. It's close to the old castle. Worth recommending. Lake Gadisha is located about 850 meters southeast of the ancient castle, about 15 minutes walk.

Once the city's water source, it is very important to provide valuable water for the residents of this water-scarce city in the desert. There are small shrines and shrines around the pool. There is a yellow sandstone gate on the shore, which was built by the famous prostitute Tiran. The scenery is almost not above, a small puddle, due to the drought and the rain level is very low.

There are a lot of huge catfish in the lake. The road to the lake. There are some simple yellow sandstone buildings on both sides of the road. When you see these small vendors, you know that you are almost at the lake. The vendors sat bored on the side of the road in a daze because there was no business. Go through the doorway in front of you and you'll be at the lake.

The doorway building made of yellow sandstone was built by the local famous prostitute Tilan, and the name is called. There is a simple Hindu temple by the lake. When Xue Luo and Liu Jingshu arrived, there were almost no tourists, only a few small pleasure boats lazily parked on the shore and waiting for their seats. A surprisingly quiet little temple by the lake.

The so-called lake view is a pavilion with two small hats at the water's edge and in the water. From the pillars of the pavilion, you can see how much the water level has dropped. According to a map, the length of the existing surface of this small lake is about 500 meters, and the widest point is less than 200 meters.

The lake is all barren beaches, there is no scenery to speak of, I don't know if it will be dyed at sunset, if there is a sunset. But it's really not worth a visit at sunset. Someone threw some food into the lake, and the water surface suddenly boiled, like a boiling pot, and when I got closer, it turned out that there were many fat catfish in the water to grab food.

It may be that there are often people who feed here, and these fish are able to grow so big in a very barren lake. The fish looked strange, with long beards, and the scalp felt a little tingling when the snow fell. There is a little sparrow playing in the water at the foot of the snow, looking not afraid of people.

A large flock of wild pigeons rested quietly on the branches on the shore, perhaps waiting for someone to give them some food. Overall, animals are much happier living in India than they are in the snowfall. A large group of half-grown students, under the leadership of the principal teacher, came to the lake for activities. The children were innocent and let the teacher take a formation - take pictures of them.

Xueluo leaned over with her camera. The children cooperated to look at the big shot of the snow falling. Their uniforms are the same color: light green on the top, dark green on the bottom, and a green tie. Cities in the desert are too hungry for green. I wonder if they came here to take graduation photos. Looking back, in addition to the ancient castle, there are really not many people in this golden city who can be used as a background for taking pictures.

The girls of Jincheng. The girls of Jincheng. The girls of Jincheng. This is not a girl, it is a teacher for girls. Speak very gently to the students. Two male teachers. It's all kind. How do you feel that the people in the desert city are a little less bold and a little more shy, which is a little different from the "hometown of the gypsies" imagined by Xueluo.

This older gentleman is the principal, very gentlemanly and personable, and is very respected by teachers and classmates. He kindly took Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's hands and asked where they were from. Xueluo replied: He said that the dragon country is good, but why should he associate with a bad country like Pakistan? Xueluo smiled and replied, and then praised his country for having a lot of beautiful scenery.

And I hope he can go to the Dragon Kingdom to have a look. Jain temple complex in Jain temple complex on the southwest side of the narrow alley is home to seven interconnected Jain temples dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. It has a certain value to visit. Visiting Jainism is required not to wear shoes and to remove all leather goods from the body.

Such as a leather belt. In addition, women who are still menstruating are not allowed to enter. Jainism originated from one of the ancient religions of ancient India, and is also one of the five major existing religions in India: Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, with its own independent beliefs and philosophies.

In fact, orthodox Jainism only sees Nobita as the last in a series of founders, and 23 of them preceded him in the founding of Jainism. 04% of India's inhabitants profess Jainism, mainly concentrated in West India, with a total of about 4 million followers. Because Jainism is against Brahmanism, against the caste system, against killing, and against fatalism.

As a result, it was supported by some princes, nobles, and commoners. Jains do not engage in occupations such as agriculture, slaughtering, etc., so commercial trade becomes their main choice. The belief of Jains is that reason is higher than religion, and they do not pay attention to believing in God, but worship 24 ancestors. At the same time, the religion is an ascetic religion.

In the early Jainism, the 23rd patriarch, Bai Shipo, was the first to put forward the teachings of Jainism, that is, ungodliness, opposition to the caste system, enlightenment for all, non-discrimination against women, etc. During the time of Raftmana, or Mahabita, he further refined the Jain doctrine that the world is eternal, rather than creationism as Brahmanical Hinduism would claim.

In addition, Jainism also believes in the "Three Jewels" of true faith, correct knowledge, righteous action and the "Five Precepts" not to harm life, not to speak, not to steal, not to be greedy for money, and to oppose killing and sacrifice. Jainism advocates attaining permanent spiritual liberation through penance. After Nobita's death, it was divided into two factions, namely the white-clothed faction and the Tianyi faction, and the white-clothed faction wore only one white-clothed ascetic.

The Celestial Clothes sect uses the heavens as clothing and advocates nude asceticism, believing that the ultimate liberation of the soul can only be achieved by completely freeing oneself from all worldly constraints, including clothing. Later, Jain saints were mostly made in nudes, showing the perseverance of the ascetics and the purity of their souls.

The Jain temple complex in the ancient castle is located in the alley on the north side of the inn where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu lived, and through the windows you can see the tree-like spires, the surface is covered with religious reliefs, and many red and white Jain flags are shaking with the breeze.

The main tower of the temple rises high and is guarded by layers of small relief towers, like Mount Meru, a symbol of heaven. The top of the throne stands on a lotus pedestal pointing straight into the sky, and beside it, a long red and white Jain flag like a ribbon hangs low and flutters in the wind. Yellow sandstone lion statue on the tower.

There is a large group of lion statues crouching on the top of the tower, looking majestically in different directions below. The main temple is named after the towers, which are connected to each other and stand tall in the narrow alleys of the castle. The tower is tall and the alley is narrow, and it is impossible to shoot it all with an ordinary wide-angle lens. A group of female believers dressed in white came to worship in groups.

The temple keeper was instructing them where to enter, and then told Xueluo and Liu Jingshu where to buy tickets. There are not many people who come to visit the Jain Temple during non-prayer hours, and after Xueluo and Liu Jingshu paid the money, an administrator came up to open the door for Xueluo and Liu Jingshu. The entrance to the Jain temple, half-hidden in the shadows under the portico, has not yet been entered, and the temple door is closed.

Like this lesser-known religion, it is quite mysterious. Relief above the entrance. It is densely packed and large, and it is dizzy to see. The relief is made very finely, and the artistic sense in the eyes of the snow falls exceeds the divine power. Entering the temple, you first enter a circular caisson well, surrounded by a circle of columns full of reliefs, supporting the figure-of-eight diagonal columns.

There is a round dome above the caisson, all of which is made up of exquisite reliefs. In the center is a huge inverted hanging lotus flower shape, surrounded by twelve pairs of figures to make oblique beams around the lotus, the design is full of beauty, and the production is extremely delicate and exquisite. Relief moulding on the dome. Above it is a pair of standing statues of gods and goddesses snuggled together, with graceful figures.
