In the corner of the big pond, I suddenly found that there were so many koi in the water. And it's huge. Jade Pool Cleaner. They didn't use boats, but went down to the very cold water to clean up themselves. These cleaners are all volunteers of the Golden Temple, and they want to see how much the sacred Golden Temple should have a great appeal to them. They are responsible for keeping the water so clean.
The cleaner was using a long wooden pole to remove debris from the water. How cold the water is, and it is also obligatory, which requires a strong will and faith. Say goodbye. Volunteer cleaners at the Golden Temple go down to the icy water to clean the pool. Clean from one end of the pool to the other.
With such cold water, some believers can only go down and soak it and come up immediately, but they have to soak it for a long time, and they are completely unpaid volunteers.
What kind of spiritual and powerful support is this? Some Chinese people say that this is a kind of communist spirit that is shining brightly. Many men change their clothes here and prepare to bathe in the water, and it is said that the water of the jade liquid pool can cure all diseases.

The child was a little scared, and was pressed into the cold water by his parents, and was so frightened that he cried. The little boy was taken by his father to the edge of the pool and did not dare to go down, so he kicked and struggled. The water was really cold, and it was useless to kick his feet, so he was pressed into the water by his father and picked up again, and the child cried. The parents had a sense of sacredness. It's a kind of baptism.
I want my children to be soaked in holy water and become a strong man from now on. Only the little man who has been baptized by the water of the golden temple jade liquid pool can be transformed into a Sikh man. This baptism will surely be engraved for a lifetime. This baby is still unforgiving to her father when she goes ashore. He was too young to understand it yet, thinking that his father was playing a punishment game with him.
Mothers also bring their children to bathe in the pool. This kid has long hair, but he is actually a boy too. Small children stand in the water. The mother could not go into the water, so she could only stand on the steps on the shore and wash the child. This baby is so brave. Being a mother is obviously more gentle and patient than the father in front. This young man is going into the water, let alone in the water.
Standing by the pool without clothes will feel cold. The two children stood on the shore with trepidation and looked at the place where they had just been submerged.

Throughout the day, there is an endless stream of devotees and tourists waiting in line to enter the Golden Temple. I didn't allow to take pictures inside, and I walked around with the crowd last night, and I couldn't understand it, and I felt that there were only four words: fluffy and shining.

There is also a special place in the Golden Temple, which is the free canteen, and the high doorway in front of it is the entrance.
There is a pile of "small hats" above the doorway, as if they are ready to "take off their hats and welcome guests" at any time. The entrance of the free cafeteria is directly facing the front face of the Golden Temple. Although it is a place to eat, it is also a sacred place.

No one discriminates against you, no one asks you why, no one asks where you come from, no one asks your caste. Here, everyone is equal, everyone enjoys, everyone dedicates, and everyone respects each other. All day long.
So many people come here for free meals -- I believe there must be a lot of poor people in it, so to speak: this is a place that serves the poor for free. A steady stream of people fetch plates and spoons here and go inside to eat. For Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, it doesn't matter if they eat this free meal or not, it's important to know what it's like inside.

In addition to the beautiful house and beautiful pool, the Golden Temple is very impressed by the snow fall, and the people there are also colorful.
In addition to the color of the clothes, there is also their natural smile. This time I went to India, and I felt that the people in the Golden Temple had the best sense of camera among all the places I had walked. They are not afraid of the camera, and they are not pretentious, they completely sincerely want to cooperate with your lens and show you the best image, just like the two beautiful Indian women in this photo, smiling so real and natural.
Not a little shy. Did the people resting under the porch see the woman on the left? When she saw her for the first time, Xueluo felt that her smile was very bright, and then when she saw the child in her arms, her eyes immediately froze--it was a fake doll! She came to ask for a child? or ......

Xueluo also wants to find the feeling of walking in the corridor of the Golden Temple. Amritsar walked out of the Golden Temple on the streets, and Xueluo and Liu Jingshu hurried to turn the streets. The Golden Temple is so beautiful, neat, and sacred, I thought that the street scene of Amritsar would have the same tone, but after a walk through it, it didn't feel so wonderful.
Amritsar, the holy city of Sikhism, has dirty streets and is littered with garbage. Why is it that no one cleans it in time? There are so many volunteers in the Golden Temple? The contrast is too great. Amritsar Amritsar Small Market. This area is a clothing district, and the streets are crowded with people and stalls. There are no branded high-end clothing here, they are all popular and down-to-earth.
Xueluo and Liu Jingshu walked in front, and when they turned around, hey, why did the two girls who were still following behind disappear just now? Is it gone?
I wasn't too worried about their safety, the two of them, it was broad daylight, but I was a little worried that they wouldn't be able to find the hotel, the language was not good, and the mobile phone was not turned on. I really couldn't find it, so Xueluo and Liu Jingshu had to leave first. Later, it was learned that they walked into a small shop on the side of the street to see Sally, and got into the back room, no wonder they couldn't find it.

It is the site of the famous Amritsar massacre, also known as the Zariwala massacre. In protest against the British ban on assemblies, Amritsar people gathered and demonstrated here, and the British army opened fire with machine guns, resulting in a tragic tragedy that killed 379 people and injured more than 1,000.
