Unlike the stations in Xueluo and Liu Jingshu countries, passengers are only allowed to enter the platform about 10 minutes in advance, but fortunately, no matter what level of ticket you have, you can rest in the large passenger waiting room. www.biquge.info As the saying goes, "If you want to make a train in India right, you can't make a good train unless the sow learns to climb the tree".

When I went to the electronic display screen on the platform of the station, I saw that the train departed at 23:50, only 5 minutes late, and I thought that the sun was really going to hit the west, and I was in ecstasy. Then, at 23:50, the train did not arrive, and at 0:15, the train was gone, but the information on the electronic display screen always stayed on the information of the departure at 23:50. Oh, Snowfall understood.

This is the electronic display screen of the Indian railway station playing with people, right? The monks of Jaipur Jaipur railway station do not speak, you look carefully, the time display on the platform at this time shows the current time is 0:10, and the horizontal electronic information display screen in the back is still showing that the train arrives at 23:50 until the train actually arrives at the station at 0:30.

The monitor is still announcing to the world: 23:50. Xueluo wondered, is it that the station attendant doesn't know when the train will arrive? To travel in India, you must first learn to bow your noble head to the wonders of India - the train that never goes by the point. Actually, the train arrived at 0:30 and was 45 minutes late.

It's already a feeling of "punctuality". Amitabha! It's only 45 minutes late, thanks to God, thanks to the train driver, thanks to the station leaders, thanks to India! Jaipur→ Jayssermer, Jincheng half-day tour today is the ninth day of travel. The overnight plus half-day train journey takes you from Jaipur to your next stop, Jaiselmer.

In the afternoon, stroll around the ancient castle with your hands behind your back. An inn in the ancient city of Jayselmer. I got on the train at 0:30 in the middle of the night, and then I only provided a bare board berth in the bare board sleeper level sleeper, and did not provide any bedding wrapped in a sleeping bag and shrunk up all night. The first thing you do when you enter the carriage is to lock the luggage backpack to the iron legs under the bottom bunk with a thick chain that you carry with you.

In fact, this is also a gentleman can not prevent villains, if the thief takes a big scissors in his hand to cut the backpack, and then jumps down from the open car door all the way, then the consequences will be tragic. However, this ten-way train, the luggage is safe and sound. I don't know if I want to thank the thieves in India for being so kind to Xueluo and Liu Jingshu without wanting to reciprocate.

So much so that after the last two journeys of the train, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu were completely relaxed and too lazy to take out the chain lock again--stuff the big bag under the seat and fall asleep. The train departs from Jaipur and heads west. Jaipur is the gateway to the Thar Desert in western India, so the view from the car window is mostly a continuous desert sandy beach.

Moreover, it is not the spectacular and beautiful, undulating golden dunes of the Tarim Desert and the Badain Jaran Desert, but the sand is gentle, dull in color, and interspersed with some low, sparse drought-tolerant shrubs. The car is in a desert area, and the carriage enjoyed by Xueluo and Liu Jingshu is not air-conditioned.

The strange thing is that while the train is open, the windows and doors are also open all the way, and the sand and dust drift all the way to the carriage, making the people inside "dusty and sideburns like frost". On the way, I passed a relatively large station, and there were many barracks near the station, and I glanced at the name of this station, and checked the information on the Internet when I came back.

It was said that "Bokran, the place where India tested the atomic bomb". Oh. I can't complain that so many soldiers are guarding. Golden City - JaiselmerJeissermer is one of the four color cities of Rajasthan. It is located on the edge of the Thar Desert in the Indian state of Rajasthan, 280 km from Jodhpur in the east and 100 km from the India-Pakistan border in the west.

It is a city steeped in history. In 1156 AD, Jayser, a vassal of the local Bartti clan, built an ancient castle on Mount Terekuta with a high walled city and a palace, temple, and dwellings. Later, people expanded the city around the castle, forming the city of Jaiselmer as it is seen today.

Jaiselmer had a thriving history as an important trading hub for India to Egypt and Europe. Since the opening of the Suez Canal as an important channel for entrepot trade, and the subsequent partition of India and Pakistan, Jaiselmeir has lost its status as a transportation hub and inevitably went into decline. This once-glorious city.

It became a small border town with just over a few tens of thousands of inhabitants. Today, Jaiselmer is in a very important military position because of its proximity to Pakistan, which is considered an enemy country. Coupled with the fact that its unique desert city has been increasingly exploited for its tourism resources, it has now become an important tourist city in Rajasthan.

Because most of the buildings here are carved out of golden sandstone, the towering ancient castle and the surrounding residential areas look like a golden palace floating in the desert, shining in the sunset, so it has earned it the reputation of "Golden City". The railway station is located 14 km east of the castle.

The bus station is located southwest of the Kasbah. Tickets can be purchased at the castle's inn or shop. There are no public transportation in the urban area, and short-distance transportation is all by tuk-tuk. The ancient castle and the royal palace museum and Jain temples inside the castle, the castle observation deck outside the ancient city, Pawanchi Haveli/Nasamli Haveli, Lake Cadizah, Desert Camel Safari.

JaiselmerJeyssermer city area attraction map copyright JaiselmerJeiselmer railway station at half past one in the afternoon, two hours late and finally arrived at Jaiselmeier railway station. Two hours late, it is already considered an extra blessing for Indian trains. JaiselmerJeiselmer railway station has simple station facilities, with only a small section of the station platform with an awning.

After all, it's a small desert city, and it's enough. Jayselmer takes a tuk-tuk from the train station 80 to the Kasbah, which is 14 km away. Therefore, the trip plan to stay in this city is relatively ample, and it is daytime, so I did not book a hotel, and I am ready to find a good location and good price.

JaiselmerJeiselmer's first impression: the street scene on the way to the ancient castle. There are a lot of lampposts in the middle of the two-way lane, there are a lot of sacred cows that are crooked under the lampposts, and some lie directly in the middle of the avenue, no car dares to touch, no one dares to drag it to the dish. They live here, undoubtedly the blessing of their cultivation in their previous lives, and if they are unfortunately reincarnated in the snow, then there will only be one dish left.

No, no, you can't see the vegetables, the bones of a place. The outer roads of Jaiselmer are relatively clean, there are not many vehicles coming and going, and there are not many people on the roadside. After all, it is a border town in the desert, and it is not easy for guests from afar to come. Jayssermer enters the city. This is the neighborhood outside the castle, a small triangle with many vegetable stalls along the road.

Jayselmeier glanced at the roadside stalls, where fresh vegetables were tomatoes, cauliflower, onions, potatoes, turnips, green onions, eggplant, peppers, cabbage, and green beans, all cooked. In this small city in the heart of the desert, the supply of vegetables does not seem to be scarce, perhaps because of the small number of people.

If there are too many people, the burden on the city will be heavy. Street view outside. The road is not wide, the cement pavement, there are no traffic signs on the road, there are no traffic lights, there is no traffic police, and the motor vehicles on the road are mainly tuk-tuks and motorcycles. There are not many pedestrians on the street, and it is a little deserted. Most of the roadside buildings are two-storey.

Among them, there are many old buildings in the style of Haveli's palace, which is a characteristic of this place. The castle is located on the southwest side of the city, on a triangular mound with an average height of about 15 meters. The walls are about 10 meters high and connect 99 pillboxes to form a triangle along the terrain.

Each side is about 400,500 meters long. There is only one gate in the whole city, which is located on the northeast side. It is said to be the only ancient castle in India where the royal palace is located in the same city as the city's dwellings, and there are still ordinary people living in it. A model of the ancient castle located in the royal palace, with additional text markings on the snowfall.

Located about 15 km west of the train station, it is very close, and the tuk-tuk is there in less than 10 minutes. This is the northeast side of the ancient castle, and there is the only entrance to the city on the inner side of the ring road. There are four gates to enter the ancient castle, and this is the first.

After entering the first gate, there is a large closed open space between the inside and the tall main city wall. Follow the road through the middle of the open field until you reach the second gate. The tuk-tuk entered the first gate and sent Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to the parking lot in the empty field.

Xueluo and Liu Jingshu walked into the castle with their bags on their backs to find a place to stay. Standing in the big empty field and looking at the first city gate that you just came over, you can see some tuk-tuks parked outside the gate, if you want to go to the attractions outside the castle, or go to the airport, train station, or bus station, you can catch the tuk-tuk from there.

There is a parking lot in the open field inside the city gate, and the road inside the castle is very narrow, except for tuk-tuks and motorcycles, other cars cannot enter, so they are parked here. There are also small shops selling tourist crafts on both sides of the open space. Some shops sell desert camel tours. A craft shop in the big empty field.

This company mainly sells bags and hats, and the goods displayed at the door are colorful. A shop that sells clothing, headscarves, and tapestries. A leather goods shop that sells camel leather bags, purses, wallets, wallets. Camel leather goods are one of the local characteristic tourism commodities. On top of the castle wall in front of the left side of the Great Empty Field.

Towering over is a very spectacular yellow building, the Old Royal Palace, which is now the Royal Palace Museum available for visiting, and is the number one attraction in Jaiselmer. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu plan to visit there tomorrow. From the big clearing, turn right, turn this corner, enter the second gate, and the gate behind you.

Several local women are sitting on the pedestal in front of the second city gate and setting up stalls to buy tourist goods, their brightly colored saris are covered to the top of their heads, strung together with golden headdresses, bell-like earrings, and nose rings worn by the wings of their noses, which are quite the wild beauty of women from the Rajasthani region and the Rajput ethnic group.

It also looks a bit of a gypsy girl. Their outfits remind Snow Fall of the Indian dancing girls in the Indian movie "Caravan" who sang and danced wildly. Look at the woman's eyes, as if if you did not buy this string of silver jewels in her hand, your soul would not be at peace.

The young woman in front of her was good-looking, and she didn't stare or greet passing tourists, and guarded her stall tepidly, neither humbly, nor arrogantly. Think of the photographer as the second gate of the air under the royal palace and the tall city walls.

This city gate and the first city gate through the big open field up the road is a shape corner, the reason for this special design, is out of the need of defense, so that the enemy can not directly impact the city gate when attacking, to turn a dead bend first, so that the impact on the city gate will be greatly reduced, especially against the fierce impact of elephants has a significant defensive effect.

The yellow sandstone relief above the second city gate is very fine and has a strong sense of three-dimensionality. Walking on the old stone road paved hundreds of years ago, you can walk through the second gate, and pigeons whirring through the holes overhead. From here, you can see that the tall old wooden doors are covered with pointed cones, which were set up to weaken the onslaught of enemy elephants.

Walking through the second gate, I saw several tourists who looked like Westerners sitting by the city gate, basking in the sun and chatting leisurely. They don't have obvious markers in their hands, so it's hard to tell where they're coming from. When the snow falls, there is a saying in society that you have to see a row of non-local young people sitting on the side of the road abroad.

How can we tell where they came from? Here's how they do it: If they all have a book in their hands, they must be Europeans and Americans; if each person has a large-screen mobile phone in his hand, a long earphone cable hanging from his chest, and three taels of melon seeds in his mouth, then eighty percent of them are young people from the Central Plains of the Snow Fall. These rumors are only for the after-dinner period and should not be taken seriously.

From the second gate to the third gate, the road is very narrow, with high walls on both sides, and not only does it have to go uphill, but it also has to make a 180-degree curve. This design is also completely defensive, in case the enemy breaks through the front gate, it can also be used here to quickly divide and annihilate while it is tired from climbing and dizzy.

The third gate of the castle. It is built with a large stone barrier, which is very thick and high, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Walk through the third gate, and then walk a short uphill slope, and in front of you is the fourth gate. This is the fourth gate, which is located under the royal palace, and the doorway is not large, but the doorway is very large.

This is the last barrier to enter the royal palace. There are many lookout holes on the high walls on both sides of the doorway, and it is estimated that if the enemy really wants to attack here, they can make a last stand, throwing cold arrows, throwing stones, and of course, the earthen guns that have already begun to be available at that time can also come in handy. The tall doorway also seems to have the taste of welcoming the triumph of the king's conquest.

Although you can't be the king of the land domain who fought in all directions and enjoyed the royal palace hundreds of years ago, it is still okay to leave a memory here. Passing through the fourth gate, you will find the Palace Square. Passing through the fourth gate, you will come to a small open field, which is the Palace Square.
