Many pilgrims come here to pay homage to a Shiva Lingga under a Bodhi tree. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info In the evening, there is also a simple night festival ceremony, which is performed on a wooden platform under these small flags, and the river altar is especially lively at that time. It is also a popular starting point for rafting on the Ganges. The snow fell from the north, along the Ganges River and walked along the river, passing through more than 20 large and small river altars.

Coming here, I have walked more than two kilometers. Under an old Bodhi tree at the altar of the Ashe River, there are many Shiva Lingyas. Many people come here to pay their respects. Props for the performance of the Ganges Night Festival at the Altar of As: the Cobra Torch and the Candle Lighthouse. The little dots on the right are the smoke canisters. Snow falls on the Asa River, walk out of the river to visit the nearby Benares University.

It doesn't look very far from the map, but it still feels quite far away when you walk through it. The white plastic buckets hanging in the stall in front of me were sold to Indians to carry water from the Ganges. The buildings on the side of the street look interesting, and all the space is covered by wire screens, like a large pigeon cage, which should be used to protect against monkeys. A big truck with a strange appearance dressed up.

Benares UniversityBenares University is located on the banks of the Ganges River in the south of the city, and has a very large campus. Founded in 1916, it has long been regarded as one of India's top universities. The park-like campus environment contrasts sharply with the "chaotic world" outside. The museum located on campus has an excellent collection of miniature paintings, as well as 12th-century manuscripts written on palm leaves, among other things.

Tickets: 100. Camera 5. The road to Benares UniversityEntrance to Benares University Benares University This is the university campus, it is very large, I want to see the campus museum with many miniature paintings, and suddenly I find that time is running out, and I have to leave by train in the afternoon, so I have to regretfully call a tuk-tuk to return to the hotel.

So far, the whole itinerary in the holy city of India has been completed.

At around 3:150 p.m., I took a tuk tuk to the train station and prepared to take the train at 16:40 p.m. to the next stop, Agra. At the train station, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu encountered the most maddening train delay of the trip. After arriving at the station, the information from the station's electronic display was that Xueluo and the train that Liu Jingshu was going to take was delayed until 21 o'clock.

More than four hours later than planned. That's not all, during the time I was waiting at the station, the departure time on the display screen was repeatedly postponed, from more than nine o'clock in the evening to more than eleven o'clock, the next morning, more than three o'clock, more than five o'clock, and finally, it was no longer updated at six o'clock in the morning. However, it was even past six o'clock in the morning.

The train hadn't come yet, but the number "6 o'clock" on the monitor had not changed until half past six in the morning. From three o'clock in the afternoon to the train station, the train did not come until half past six the next morning, a full delay of 15 hours. In other words, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu stayed in the humble waiting room of the train station for 15 hours and stayed up all night.

Once again, I deeply understood the unreliability of Indian trains. In the snow-soaked Indian travel diary, there are nine words: India's trains are terrible! The railway station is a special ticket room for crooked nuts. Xueluo wanted to ask if she could buy a train ticket from Agra back to New Delhi the night after tomorrow, but was told.

Train tickets for more than two days are only available in advance. If you are less than 2 days old, you should go to the general ticket counter. In front of her, the foreign girl came up with a set of travel plans in India and asked the conductor uncle to issue tickets at the planned time. The uncle looked at it and gave his plan. The girl was anxious when she saw it, saying that the time you arranged to stay in the local area was too short.

The uncle took a pencil and pointed to the time on the paper and said, "Don't you know that trains in India are often delayed?" You have planned such a short stay in one place, and if the train is delayed, let alone play, you may not even be able to catch the next train!

Agra today is on the 27th day of his trip to India. I was supposed to arrive in Agra early in the morning, but I was lying on the train to Agra all day because the train was late. The originally scheduled day trip to Agra today was blacked out by the train. That's how the train station spent 15 hours. It is also an air-conditioned car for special waiting.

Passengers in ordinary carriages are not allowed to enter, and there is an aunt guarding the door, and they have to check their tickets when they come in. From time to time, go out and take a walk around the platform to see if the departure time of the electronic display has been updated. It was cold at night at the station, and many Indian passengers slept on the platform wrapped in blankets. The platform is dirty, and there is a lot of garbage.

The attendant swept the garbage onto the railroad tracks below the platform. From 3 a.m., the outside monitor showed that the departure time of the train was postponed to 6 a.m., at platform 8. Moreover, this display time never changes again. At 5 o'clock in the morning, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu went down to platform 8 to wait.

At 6 o'clock, the train did not arrive, and the forecast time at the station did not change. It's past 6 o'clock, but the car hasn't arrived, and the departure time has not changed at 6 o'clock. It wasn't until almost half past six that I heard the train number of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu from the radio at the station in Indian and English, saying that the train would arrive at the station soon, on platform 1.

Xueluo and Liu Jingshu carried their luggage from platform 8 across the bridge and quickly transferred to platform 1. Raised his eyes and scanned the electronic screen on the platform, it was still the same: departure time 6:00, platform 8. This is the railway of India. If you don't understand English, you will only wait for the train according to the information on the electronic display, and you will be stuck on platform 8, and you may miss the train.

At half past six in the morning, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's train finally entered the station. After getting on the bus, a waiter came over and handed out bed sheets, thin mattresses and a blanket. Those who checked the tickets didn't come until the train was almost in Agra. Of course, the conductor of the carriage still did not. I stayed up for 15 hours at the station last night to get on the train, I was very tired, and I couldn't sleep after getting on the train.

Today was supposed to arrive in Agra at 5 o'clock in the morning, but because the train was delayed, it was actually 6 o'clock before getting on the train, and there were repeated delays on the way, and it was not until 2 o'clock in the morning on the 18th that I arrived in Agra. A train that only took 11 hours was delayed by 21 hours, and the snow fell and I was too drunk.

If Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's trip was only scheduled for one day in Agra, then the train would have been reimbursed for that day. Not only will you not be able to play, but you may even miss the next train. Fortunately, Amitabha, this is the last train ride in India. From Agra back to New Delhi, I don't want to take the train anymore, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu have to charter a car!

Thankfully, two days were arranged in Agra along with the previous two days in Agra, for a total of 4 days, and one more day to play, but the planned Wild Bird National Park did not come to fruition. 28~1218 Agra Day Trip Today is the 28th day of travel in India, the train arrived at Agra the "destination of yesterday" at 2am at 2 am and 21 hours late.

There was only two days in Agra that was dragged away by a train, and today was the day left to visit Fatehpur Sikri. Overnight in Agra. At 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, the Kamal Hotel Agra took a tuk-tuk from the train station all the way to the black-lit and bumpy back again.

Xueluo and Liu Jingshu stayed at this small hotel in Agra on their fifth day in India. Twenty-three days have passed, and Xueluo and Liu Jingshu have made a big circle in North India, and they are about to return to the end point, which is the starting point of New Delhi. I want to go home. The Agra Kamal Hotel shouted through the iron fence gate, and the hotel guys were in trouble.

Fortunately, there was a room and a smooth check-in. Falling headlong. As soon as the morning dawns at the Agra Kamal Hotel, it is awakened by the babbling chanting of a loudspeaker near the hotel, and sitting in the restaurant on the top floor overlooking the neighborhood below that has just woken up from dawn, a string of yellow and green tuk-tuks that look like grasshoppers are waiting at the corner of the street.

Two camels were led by their owners and walked under their eyelids. Agra raised his eyes to look straight ahead, and the familiar and beautiful figure of the Taj Mahal appeared in front of him again. At this moment, it has been covered with a gentle warm color by the morning light, and the graceful body stands there quietly, as if in a fairyland. There is a private ticket station in front of the Agra Hotel, which is responsible for booking air tickets, bus tickets, etc.

Xueluo and Liu Jingshu booked a chartered bus here to go to Fatehpur Sikri today and from Agra back to New Delhi tomorrow. It is about 90 kilometers round trip to Fatehpur Sikri 1200 round trip, and about 230 kilometers one way to New Delhi 4000. Boursigri is located about 40 km west of Agra.

A little more than an hour's drive, there are two views: one is the Old Palace and the other is the Jama Mosque. Fatehpur Sikri, also known as the "City of Victory", briefly served as the capital of the Mughal dynasty of Akbar the Great. It gets its name from a small village called Sigli in its vicinity.

It was listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site. It contains Akbar the Great's place of administration, his sleeping palace, as well as his harem and courtyard. It is a typical Islamic style building with a large red sandstone castle. At that time, Akbar the Great had no children, and he prayed to the saint to get his first prince.

As a token of gratitude, he built the castle and named it Fatehpur Sikri, which means "City of Victory", and moved the capital there. Akbar was the capital of Agra for only 14 years, but in 1565 it was abandoned due to water problems, and the capital was moved back to Agra, where it became a deserted and empty city. Although an empty city.

However, the building is still well preserved for visitors to see. Transportation: Take a shuttle bus from Agra bus station to Fatehpur Sikri 40, destination station name: 1 hour. If you take a shuttle bus from Jaipur, the ticket is 170, the journey takes 4 and a half hours, and the final stop is mostly Agra, passing through Fatehpur Sikri.

Before getting on the bus, be sure that the next bus will pass by before taking it. There are a large number of shuttle buses to Agra from Fatehpur Sikri, and there are no direct connections to Delhi that require a transfer to Agra. The round-trip price for a tuk-tuk is about 600, and the price for a sedan is 1200. Visitors cannot take a car directly to the castle ticket office, so they need to transfer to a minibus in the parking lot down the mountain.

5 per person per way. After viewing: There is a certain scale of red sandstone palace castle, the building itself and the red sandstone carving have some highlights, although the original furnishings in the building have all disappeared, but it is still worth seeing. The tour takes about 3 hours. Entrance fee: 250 for the palace ruins, 10 tax for Taj Mahal tickets.

Mosques are free. Map of Fatehpur Sikri Old Palace and Jama Mosque Fatahpur Sikri Mountain Bus Station Morning charter bus to visit Fatehpur Sikri, visitors from outside must transfer to a local minivan to get to the castle.

This section of the road is about 14 kilometers and costs 10 km. The ticket office of Fatehpur Sikri Castle ticket office for locals tickets 10 and crooked nuts tickets for 250 yuan, a huge difference. Fatehpur Sikri walked into the tour after buying the ticket, as the Agra Red Fort that he had already seen was similar to the Red Fort of Delhi.

The complex is also brick-red in color, and at first glance it is clear that it was built of red sandstone. The gates are not as grand as the Red Fort of Agra and the Red Fort of Delhi. Entrance to the courtyard of Basigui. The main courtyard area within the old palace of Fatehpur Sikri in the courtyard of Pasiji.

It is very large, and it is scattered with several buildings of the Mughal Dynasty where Akbar the Great dealt with public affairs, such as public and private rooms, as well as the sleeping palace of Akbar the Great and several of his wives. Akbar the Great had two wives from different faith regions, one from Rajasthan, who was Hindu.

He is from Turkey and from Goa is a Muslim and from Goa is a Christian. According to their different beliefs and preferences, Akbar built different styles of sleeping palaces, among which the palace of Hindu wives is the largest, which is not only divided into a summer palace and a winter palace, but also a special place for prayer, in order to enjoy the authentic Turkish bath.

Akbar built a large hammam next to his Turkish wife's dormitory for his beloved Turkish wife, and the Goan Christian wife's dormitory was small but elaborate with very beautiful carved interiors. Pasir Ji Garden: There is a zigzag pond on the south side of Pasir Ji Garden.

On the platform in the middle of the pool is the place where singers, dancers and musicians perform for Akbar the Great. Public Audience Hall: A place where Akbar the Great presided over the administration of the court and met with courtiers and the public. A simple-looking red sandstone building, a little incompatible with Akbar the Great's identity.

Located in the northeast corner of the Basigui Courtyard, there is a large green courtyard facing the northeast gate of the royal palace. The Public Audience Hall, which was once the seat of the Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great, has five seats in it with his back to the western wall, with Akbar the Great sitting in the middle.

The Private Audience Room, located in the middle of the northern end of the Pasij Courtyard, is the most beautiful building in the entire palace. This is the place where Akbar the Great met his private guests, which is equivalent to the "mirror room" of some of the old royal palaces that I have seen before. To the west of the left of the private audience room, there is a building called the "Treasury Vault", and in some corners of it are placed mysterious stone safes.

It used to contain the treasures of the king's house. The pillars of the ceiling are carved in reliefs of sea monsters, meaning to protect the gold and silver treasures here. In the middle of the private audience room is a canopy-like stone pillar covered with delicate carved red sandstone ornaments. Above the capitals is a circular platform with four suspended bridges leading to a circle of cloisters hanging on the four walls of the second floor.
