This hotel is very close to the train station, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu 4 people with luggage took a tuk tuk 50 to arrive. Jaipur Krishna Palace Hotel This is a medium-sized hotel in a palatial style with 26 rooms.

The appearance of the three-storey building looks like a miniature royal palace, with white exterior walls hooked with red lace, pavilions and small gardens, and Lajput style decorative paintings and various ornaments hanging everywhere on the walls. The boss was also kind. The only regret is that when Xueluo and Liu Jingshu checked in, the hotel was still being renovated, which was a little noisy.

The hotel is about 15 km from the train station and 5 minutes by tuk-tuk. It is said to be a 10-minute drive from the bus terminal and a 20-minute drive from the airport. There is an open-air restaurant on the roof, so you can eat while watching the surrounding scenery. The signal in the room was very weak, the place near the service desk was better, and the free hotels in India were almost like that.

By the way, this hotel also has an advantage, the house is good, the price is also good, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu live in a 35-square-meter "luxury standard room" 1390 about 139 yuan a room. Jaipur, Jaipur Krishna Palace Hotel in India Xueluo and Liu Jingshu booked a deluxe room with an area of 35 square meters and marble floors,

Separate bathroom with electric hot shower, the newly renovated house is very clean and tidy. The miniature paintings of Rajput noblewomen hanging on the walls of the Jaipur Krishna Palace Hotel are gorgeous and elegant, with a strong ethnic charm. The weapons adorned on the walls of the Jaipur Krishna Palace Hotel show that Rajput is a brave and martial people.

In the open-air restaurant on the rooftop terrace of the Jaipur Krishna Palace Hotel, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu had a Western-style standard breakfast here and felt good. Jaipur Krishna Palace Hotel sits on the rooftop of the hotel, surrounded by greenery, and many green parrots fly in front of you in front of you in the golden glow of the setting sun.

I really envy India's animal protection, and I really hate Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's domestic people who kill wild animals and have no moral bottom line. After settling into your accommodation, you will immediately enter the old town to sweep the streets. Take a tuk-tuk to Chadpur Gate, the west gate of the Old City, and walk into the city. After entering the city gate, there is a straight road through the city from west to east.

When you see this string on the map, you can immediately think that this is a long market street. This is one of the main arteries of the old city of Jaipur. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu slowly swept the street from west to east along the street. Both sides of the street are bustling with shops, selling mostly ordinary daily necessities: clothing, hardware, fruits and vegetables, medicines.

The stalls stretched one after the other, and many locals roamed around, carrying their hands on their shoulders, busy with their own lives. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu walked all the way and looked all the way, but they didn't find anything they were interested in. I walked all the way to the intersection of the Kazenomiya and found that there were handicrafts selling in the block where I turned right, but I didn't find anything bright when I turned around.

It was getting late, so I went home. Dinner continues with somen cooked in the hotel, which is a great way to get your food out of your trip to India. 08~1128 Jaipur Day Trip;Jaipur → JaiselmerToday is the eighth day of the trip to India. Due to the delay of yesterday's train by half a day, the planned one-and-a-half-day stay in Jaipur was shortened to only one day today.

In the evening, take the train from Jaipur to the next stop, Jaiselmer. Indian trains, hate you again. Today was a day of precious time, and I went to the four attractions of Tiger Fort, Amber Fort, City Palace and Palace of Wind, and hurriedly completed my day trip in Jaipur. There is less time to reserve in Jaipur, leaving some regrets.

Breakfast on the rooftop deck of the Jaipur Hotel. Traditional toasted bread slices with butter jam, fried eggs, coffee. Check out after breakfast at Tiger Fort Jaipur, store your luggage and start your day trip in Jaipur. At the door of the hotel, 950 chartered a tuk tuk to take Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to various scenic spots, and the original negotiation was 900.

Later, the driver said that he had run too many places and the distance was too far, and he asked for an extra 50. The first place to go is Tiger Fort, located on a hill on the north side of the main city. After leaving the city, the tuk tuk carried Xueluo and Liu Jingshu all the way to the turf mountain. There were bushes on both sides of the road, and I suddenly found that there were a lot of wild blue peacocks inside, definitely wild, not free-range.

This surprised the snowfall. I can't help but think of a time I went to Xishuangbanna in Yunnan Province many years ago, and the legend is that it is the hometown of peacocks, and I thought that I would see a lot of wild peacocks.

I believe that a hundred years ago, it must have been the "hometown of peacocks", but now, there are really only legends left. Later, Xueluo really saw wild peacocks, and there were many more, but not in Xishuangbanna, but in Nepal and India. Speechless. Tiger Fort Nahagar Fort Tiger Fort Nahagar Fort is a castle perched on a steep ridge on the north side of the old city of Jaipur.

There are walls and battlements that wind like the Great Wall, and there are beautiful palaces with yellow walls like a labyrinth inside, and you can overlook the whole city of Jaipur when you climb the battlements, and it is a great place to watch the sunset in Jaipur. However, for some reason, I thought it was a great place to see in Jaipur.

In Lonely Planet India, a relatively authoritative international travel guide, there are only a few lines of very brief and vague introductions from the book, and there is no mention of it in another well-known international travel guide series, "Around the World" 07 edition of India, as if this is a place that can be ignored.

After looking at the introduction of this attraction on two websites that backpackers like, it can be summarized as follows: This is a very strong fort built in 1734 by the vassal king of Jaipur by Jaipur II Jaipur to strengthen the defense of Jaipur, and due to the difficult terrain, it successfully resisted many enemy attacks.

Overlooking the whole city of Jaipur, it's perfect for watching the sunset in the evening. Strangely, during the subsequent visit of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, it was found that this is not only a defensive castle, but also a beautiful palace, which should be the place where the prince lived in the past, and I don't know why I can't find any corresponding information.

Take a tuk-tuk from the city to the castle gate, and you can walk down after seeing it.2. Take a ride to the bottom of the mountain, and then climb up the winding mountain road, but it will be very physically demanding. At half past nine in the morning, we arrived at the gate of Tiger Fort. Where to buy a ticket? I didn't open until 10 o'clock.

Somehow, how could there be an attraction that opened at ten o'clock? So, wandering around the castle gate for half an hour. I told the tuk-tuk driver to go to Amber Fort first, then to see the Palace of the Winds and the City Palace, and finally to Tiger Fort - because Tiger Fort is located on the top of a hill on the edge of the city, which is a great place to watch the sunset.

For this reason, Xueluo also specially drew a route map for the driver on the paper, the driver almost did not speak English, the driver said OK, who knew that the first place took Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to Tiger Fort, Xueluo also thought that this was Amber Fort, and when he finished turning, he found that he actually regarded the last attraction as the first. In confusion.

These two masters are the gatekeepers of Tiger Castle. Xueluo said Uncle He, you smile like a flower, it is better to let Xueluo and Liu Jingshu buy tickets to go in immediately. Majestic Tiger Fort with local women dressed in red saris. Tiger Fort Tiger Tiger Standing at the entrance to the opening of the Dragon Plate. At ten o'clock in the morning, I finally waited for the castle staff who sold tickets to buy tickets and entered the castle.

The ticket is only 5 yuan, is it because the ticket is too cheap, the castle staff only work so late? Walking up to the city wall, leaning over and seeing the castle entrance through the watchmouth on the battlements, you can close your eyes and imagine the scene when the enemy soldiers attacked the city gate. The yellow-and-green tuk-tuk that he was riding when he came stopped at the door and waited for Xueluo and Liu Jingshu.

After looking at Tiger Fort, I came to the conclusion that there are three major attractions of this attraction, one is the majestic city wall, the second is the beautiful palace, and the third is overlooking the city and watching the sunset. It's a place worth visiting, but it's not overshadowed by the Amber Fort not far away, so it's not crowded with tourists.

The city wall of Tiger Fort, which is standing on the dragon plate, winds and turns on the ridge, and the golden wall battlements extend forward under the outline of the sun like lace, which is very rhythmic. The undulating walls are like the dragon's back, and the battlements on the back are like scales. High battlements. Back then, the battlements were full of enemy armies dancing with guns and swords, as well as the neighing of war elephants and horses.

It was a bloody time. Now, it's all a thing of the past. Golden city walls with crooked fruit tourists. It's nice to wear headphones and walk along the trails on the city walls. From the heights of the heights, you can see the old city of Jaipur through the yellow battlements, and many of the walls are painted red, making it known as the "Pink City".

In the past, it was the castle defenders who were lying here to watch the situation under the castle, but now in peacetime, it has been replaced by tourists and photographers. Sitting at the castle in the evening and watching the sunset spread over the ancient city is romantic and poetic. From this battlement, you can see the towering Jaygar Castle in the distance, and the Amber Fort is just below it.

The straight-line distance is about eight kilometers. Jaipur is located at the entrance of the Thar Desert, where you can already see the sand dunes below the castle glowing golden in the sun, some children playing on the sand dunes, and the orange-red houses behind them against the golden sand dunes. Looking south from Tiger Fort, the city of Jaipur is quite large.

Under the backlight, it seems that the smog over the city is heavy, and the air pollution in India's big cities is also very high. Looking to the east, you can see the Water Palace in the northern suburbs of Jaipur in the Mansagar Lake, which you will pass by on your way back to the city in the afternoon after seeing the Amber Palace. There are a lot of frolicking monkeys in the castle, and they don't bother tourists. The old monkey brother seemed to be preoccupied.

The mother monkey with the baby monkey behaved calmly in front of the camera where the snow fell. The three Indian brothers saw Xueluo and picked up their cameras at them, and hurriedly put on a look that looked cool, looking at that look, no matter how handsome it was, it was like that. The palace in Tiger Castle, you can see it when you go in, such a complex and beautiful palace is not just a defensive castle.

The king of the earth must have lived in it. Curiously, there is no information about its relationship with the Tuvassal King. The bay window above the palace, which protrudes from the wall, not only increases the view, but also makes the whole building more beautiful. The entrance to the palace is a beautiful yellow sandstone building, with elaborate relief patterns on the walls, and white marble in some places.

Inner courtyard of the palace. At noon, the tourists are on the side of the Amber Palace, which is very quiet. The sunlight shone on the yellow walls, and the entire courtyard was shining gold. The delicate exterior wall decoration, curved and straight, the changing combination of various lines, coupled with carvings and murals, make the whole courtyard lively. Delicate diagonal eaves support the protruding part of the building above.

The golden walls and dark windows are dotted at the corners. It can be imagined that there were two palace maids looking at each other and smiling at the window. An old cannon in the courtyard. The walls of the inner courtyard have miniature paintings in the Persian style. It depicts an elephant in make-up leaping with the king in a dance.

The king was lit by attendants holding torches in front of him, guarded by guards on horseback, and flowers and plants swaying and blooming on the ground. A dynamic and beautiful work of art. The iron rings on the low walls, used to tie elephants, are surrounded by beautiful floral motifs. The staff at Tiger Castle.

It's a good job, I don't go to work until 10 o'clock, and after work I sit here in the sun, there are few tourists, and there is nothing to do. The caretaker of Tiger Castle was here to read the newspaper leisurely after opening the door. It must be a nobleman who is at least a high-class Indian guest, and the castle attendant laughs and explains the whole process. Members of the Indian Mobile Phone Party met in a foreign country.
