Dale himself believes that 200~300 people were killed. The Amritsar tragedy became one of the direct causes of Gandhi's nationwide non-violent non-cooperation movement in 1920~1922 and India's eventual independence.

The entrance to the park is south on the right side of the side street and is not very conspicuous. The sign is this old red brick wall. On the brick wall there is a sign in English that reads "Zariwala Garden". There are some such old red brick buildings around the park, which were built before the tragedy and are at least 100 years old.

Walking down this alley from the side of the street is Zariwala Park. The park is free. Inside it is surrounded by a large green area of the tragedy memorial, the ever-bright torch lights, the remains of the bloody bullet holes of the old days, and the well that swallowed the lives of innocent people.

and the 1919 Massacre Memorial. The eternal light of the "flame of freedom" that never goes out. A red monument to the victims of the 1919 massacre. There is no text on it, only a decorative pattern shaped like a lotus flower and a flame. A large group of students came to visit under the guidance of the teacher. The park is dotted with several remnants of old red brick buildings riddled with bullet holes.

It is a testimony to the bloody massacre for many years. Many bullet holes are marked with white squares, making it easier for visitors to identify the bullet marks. These are densely packed with bullet holes in the red brick wall. It was left behind when the British colonial army machine-gunned the people at the rally. Bullet holes left in the red brick wall. Bullet holes left in the red brick wall.

At the time of the tragedy, many people jumped into the deep well in the park and drowned in order to escape machine gun fire. The Zariwala Massacre Memorial Museum displays materials from the time of the tragedy. This is a scene from the massacre based on data from that year: on the right, British colonial troops setting up machine guns and firing at the crowd at the rally.

On the left are people who are being slaughtered. A group of middle school students are led by their teachers to visit the site of the tragedy. The teacher is telling the students about the situation when the tragedy happened. Such a tragic thing, such a tragic place, teachers and students can still laugh. Perhaps, they are laughing at today's life much better than their ancestors.

Amritsar, a young Indian girl, → Agra train, a train from Amritsar to the next stop, Agra, at a quarter past four in the afternoon. Amrley is the starting point. The train booked belongs to the same train as the incoming train, and the number 18238 was 18237 when it came.

Ordinary express trains are slower than domestic express trains, with 3 air-conditioned sleepers, and the ticket price is 1000 yuan, about 100 yuan. The distance of the trip is 702 km, which is almost 200 km farther than when coming from Delhi, but the ticket is 165 km cheaper because I bought a class 2 ticket when I came over. 2 is more comfortable, but a lot higher than 3 fares.

This trip 3 ticket is equivalent to 142 per kilometer, while 2 is equivalent to 227 per kilometer, 2 is 60% more expensive than 3. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu booked one upper bunk and one middle bunk in the side bunk and side compartment. The worst of the four bunks was the middle bunk of the transom, which could not be used because it had to be lowered during the day.

The two berths on the side are the best, because although it is a three-compartment, there are only two bunks on the side, and there are three bunks in the transverse compartment. It is 702 kilometers from Amritsar to Agra, and it takes more than 16 hours to drive normally, which is slow enough. Amritsar Railway Station took a tuk-tuk with his teammates to Amritsar Railway Station at half past two in the afternoon, the fare was 150, and he arrived at three o'clock.

Amritra is an important city in India and Punjab, but the station is small and the facilities are rudimentary. A big impression of this visit to India is that India, as a country with a large population and land size, has a lot of room for improvement in terms of transportation facilities compared to Xueluo and Liu Jingshu.

It's a pity that the relationship between the two countries is not good, otherwise, the railway army of the Dragon Kingdom can come in handy. The electronic display in the station hall of the Amritsar railway station can only display a single line of information. I finally saw the information about the train that rolled to Xueluo and Liu Jingshu was going to take, and I was shocked: 18238, the estimated departure time is 20:15.

Oh my god, the starting point is four hours late, and if you continue to be late on the way, you don't have to be much later when you arrive in Agra! I asked the station staff why the starting point was so late, and I replied, "It's too late to come from Delhi." Delays on Indian trains seem to be commonplace.

This means that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's stay in Agra will be reduced by at least half a day. Amritsar Railway Station had to wait for more than 5 hours for the snow to fall and Liu Jingshu arrived more than an hour early, and the train was delayed for another four hours, and he couldn't leave the station, for fear that there would be some changes in the future, so he could only waste time here.

There is a small supermarket outside the station hall, and there is a small restaurant in the supermarket, where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu sat and had a light meal waiting for the classic car. The humble station hall of Amritsar railway station. Many Indian travelers slept on the floor wrapped in blankets. It's not bad to sleep in such a hall, and when you see a lot of stations in the back, passengers sleep on the platform.

Amritsar Railway StationThe platform of Amritsar Railway Station, which is next to the station hall, is in the best condition, and the outer platforms are very basic. The station has a small waiting room for passengers travelling in air-conditioned carriages. Amritsar Railway Station: This is a train that departs in front of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu.

There is a long yellow train sign on the outside of the carriage, and the number on it is the number of this train, such as the number of this train, when it comes, it is 13005, and the number of the train back is 13006. This provides one of the most important clues to how Xueluo and Liu Jingshu found exactly the train they were going to take.

The small yellow sign in the middle, which is folded in half, is used to identify the car number. There is some confusion about the numbering of train carriages in India, what to divide. It is used to distinguish the class of carriages, i.e. air-conditioned sleeper cars, non-air-conditioned sleeper cars, hard-seat cars, etc. Obviously, it is not as good as the train car number of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, and it is easier to find it directly with 1,2,3,4.

The carriage in front of you is clearly a non-air-conditioned sleeper, as the windows of the air-conditioned sleeper are sealed, while the windows of the non-air-conditioned sleeper or hard-seat cars are openable and equipped with horizontal anti-theft bars. And if it is a hard-seat car, there must be passengers sitting in the window, so guess it is a sleeper car.

A list of passengers boarding at this station is posted at the door of all sleeper cars at Amritsar Railway Station, so if you see your name on it, feel free to get on it. At 20:20 in the evening, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's classic car can be regarded as entering the station, and the departure time was delayed by more than 4 hours. The passenger list posted on the door of the carriage has the names of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu.

Amritsar Railway Station: This is the air-conditioned third-class 3rd class carriage enjoyed by Xueluo and Liu Jingshu. On the left side is the transverse inner compartment, with two stacks of bunks, each stack of three layers, the middle layer must be lowered during the day, otherwise the lower bunk can not sit people;

On the outside quite Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's domestic sleeper car folding seat position is also equipped with a longitudinal double-layer sleeper, India is a broad gauge, the carriage is also wider than Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's domestic wider, a train's capacity is greater than Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's country. After getting on the bus, a special person is responsible for distributing a set of thin mattresses, mattress sheets, and blankets.

There are no food cars on these express trains in India, so no meals are served all the time. Passengers' food and beverage problems are solved on the platform when the train stops en route. After the train enters the station, there are also vendors who carry a small basket into the carriage to sell some fast food or snacks, and the drink is a kind of Indian milk tea pronounced "chai".

The hawkers carry a small pot and skewer it in the carriage, calling "firewood", "firewood" and "firewood", which is a scene of Indian trains. The middle and upper bunks on the left side of the sleeping compartment at Amritsar railway station are made by Xue Luo and Liu Jingshu. The other bunks have Indians sleeping. The windows and doors of the air-conditioned sleeper compartment are closed, so they are relatively clean and safe.

Moreover, there are no outsiders in the air-conditioned sleeper cars. Out of safety considerations and following the admonitions of the raiders, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu put the small bag containing valuables in their bunk and kept it close to their bodies, while the large backpack was placed under the bottom bunk and locked with chain locks. Actually, this time the snow fell and Liu Jingshu traveled by ten trains in India.

None of them encountered luggage safety problems, so that in the last few trips, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu were too lazy to lock their luggage with chain locks. At night, there are always people who get on the car and turn on the lights on the top of the trunk, so that the snow falls and basically does not rest well. The toilets in the three carriages of the Amritsar railway station look similar to the toilets on the national trains of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu.

Perhaps because the quality of the passengers in the air-conditioned compartment is relatively high, the toilet is still relatively clean. Amritsar Railway Station: This is a non-air-conditioned sleeper car connecting Xueluo and Liu Jingshu. The similarity with the air-conditioned 3 carriages is that they are all horizontal upper and lower berths and longitudinal upper and lower berths, except that there is no air conditioning, and there is no bedding is a significant difference.

There is also the fact that the doors and windows are not closed tightly. The safety factor will definitely be lowered accordingly with the decrease in the level of seats. Amritsar railway station is a non-air-conditioned hard-seat car hanging in the back, just look at the window. It's kind of like a cage. 05~1125 Amritsar → Agra Agra Today is the fifth day of the trip in India.

I originally planned to arrive at the third station in Agra at 8 o'clock in the morning, but I didn't expect that after the train left Amritsar more than 4 hours late last night, it made mistakes again and again on the way, and it didn't arrive until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, which was 9 hours late, that is, it was delayed for another 5 hours on the way. Trains in India are outrageous, unreliable.

After checking into the hotel, it was already 6 o'clock in the evening, and the day was completely wasted. There was only one day left on the itinerary that was planned to stay in Agra for two days. Fortunately, before the end of this trip, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu still have to pass through Agra, and there is still time to stay, or they will die. Agra is a very important tourist destination in North India, where the famous Taj Mahal is located.

There are at least five or six attractions to visit in the plan. Amritsar railway station stops en route. It's 11 a.m., and according to the booking time on the ticket, you should arrive in Agra at 8 a.m., but it's still far away. The train stops from time to time on the way, repeatedly delayed, and the destination is still out of reach.

Agra Agra is located in Uttar Pradesh, India, on the west bank of the Yamuna River, 240 km north of Delhi. From the 16th century to the early 18th century, it was the capital of the Mughal dynasty that ruled India for hundreds of years. In 1566, Akbar the Great moved the capital from Delhi to here, and in 1630~1652, Shah Jahan mourned his deceased concubine.

The Taj Mahal, known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, was built here. In 1803, Agra was annexed by the British, the capital of British India was in Calcutta, and Agra was reduced to the provincial capital. At present, Agra is the most famous tourist city in India and an important transportation hub in the north.

Taj Mahal / Agra Fort / Jama Mosque / Little Taj Mahal / Fatehpur Sikri / Akbar the Great Mausoleum / Cheni Karaza Tomb With the Taj Mahal ticket, if you go to Agra Fort, Itimad Udtaura Mausoleum, Fatehpur Sikri, Akbar the Great Mausoleum and other attractions, you can be exempted from a small amount of taxes.

【Rail Transportation】The train from Agra to Delhi takes about 3 hours. Agra has two main railway stations: Agra Fort Station, located on the north side of Agra Fort, closest to the main city and the Taj Mahal, and Agra Barracks Station, located in the west of the city, about 7 km from the hotel and inn cluster at the south gate of the Taj Mahal, which is relatively far from the Taj Mahal.

But trains to and from Delhi usually depart from the Agra Barracks railway station, and there are many, many times a day. The train station has a ticket office or window for foreigners and ladies. 【Accommodation】As a tourist city, Agra has many accommodation spots and a wide range of choices, so you can find it without booking under normal circumstances.

The south gate of the Taj Mahal is the most concentrated area of small guesthouses, and many accommodation sites can overlook the Taj Mahal from the roof platform. The vast majority of backpackers choose to stay there. 【Shopping】Agra has both traditional and modern shopping areas. There are many small shops near the eastern, south and west gates of the Taj Mahal, selling small handicrafts, tourist souvenirs and clothing.

However, as a tourist city in India, there are many scammers and counterfeit things that need to be guarded against. 【Dining】Around the east, west and south gates of the Taj Mahal, there are many restaurants, mainly Western and Indian food, and many restaurants have rooftop terraces, where you can dine while looking at the Taj Mahal from afar.

Some hotels also have restaurants open to the public on the rooftops. The Agra Agra attraction map was supposed to arrive at Agra at 8 a.m., but it was delayed until 5 p.m. before slowly arriving at the Agra Barracks Railway Station. There was a delay of nine hours, four hours late from Amritsar and another five hours on the way.
