It means a three-tier air-conditioned sleeper car, referred to as 3, which is the preferred ride class for foreign backpackers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition, there are regular sleeper cars without air conditioning. Amritsar Railway Station Amritsar Railway Station Platform This platform is quite clean, unlike Agra Railway Station, which is very dirty, and the monkeys are all over the platform. The waiting room is only available for passengers in air-conditioned sleeper cars.

, because it is small. The departing carriage at Amritsar railway station is a regular hard-seat carriage, known as a "2", with multiple horizontal iron bars on the windows to prevent theft. The windows and doors of the train are not closed when the train is moving, and when the train is about to enter or leave the station, or when the speed is slow on the way, it is common for people to jump up and down, and no one cares.

It is estimated that there are many fare evaders. Because they are very cheap, they are often packed, and it is said that even if you buy a seat number, it is often taken away. When it was super full, there were still people hanging on the door. As for whether the roof of the car can sit on people, I haven't seen it, maybe it is inevitable to encounter major festivals or religious activities like the Spring Festival of the Dragon Kingdom.

Amritsar Railway StationAmritsar Railway Station Station Hall Building was built in 1859 with nameplates in the hall briefly recording the history of the city and the railway station. The horseshoe-shaped round arch and the small hat minaret give the whole building a distinct element of the 19th-century Indian Muslim style.

The vehicles parked in the square in front of the station represent the current level of small cars in the city, which are not of high grade and have old models. This also indirectly reflects the level of local economic development. Amritsar Railway StationAmritsar Railway StationThere is a model of the Golden Temple in the railway station hall. It shows the sacred status and representation of the Golden Temple in the city.

How many people from outside came, nay, it should be said that they poured into the city, and they all came for it. Amritsar Amritsar The word Amritsar "Amritsar" derives from the Sanskrit word for "nectar pond" and is named after the pool of water known as the pool of nectar of Amritsar, built by the fourth Sikh religious teacher.

Amritra is an important city in the northwestern Indian state of Punjab, just 30 kilometers from the border with Pakistan and just over 50 kilometers from Lahore, Pakistan's second largest city. It replaced Lahore as the first city of Punjab during the time of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and has grown into a cultural and religious shrine for Sikhs.

It is also known to more people around the world because of the Amritsar Massacre in 1919. The Golden Temple in Amritsar is the center of Sikhism. Millions of people come here every year to worship and visit. The most suitable season for Amritsar is from October to March. Most of the tourists who come here have two goals: 1. the Golden Temple, and 2. the flag-lowering ceremony of India and Pakistan.

Amritsar main city scenic spot distribution map copyright Amritsar Xueluo wrote his own road book to tell Xueluo: out of Amritsar railway station, you can take the free shuttle bus of the Golden Temple on the square in front of the station, remember: the shuttle bus is yellow. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu walked out of the station with big backpacks on their backs, and they saw the yellow shuttle bus over there from a distance.

Oh, there are so many people queuing up next to the bus, men and women, young and old, all Indians, no tourists. The queue is very long, but it is very orderly, there is no swarming, no grabbing seats, no loud noise, and the most basic qualities of human nature are reflected in this ranks.

Amritsar Xueluo and Liu Jingshu walked to a shuttle bus that was already full and asked if the bus was going to the Golden Temple, and the administrator saw that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu were crooked nuts, and enthusiastically beckoned Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to go first. I just wanted to move my feet up, and then turned my head to look at the crowd waiting in line for the bus in a long line, how could I bear Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to go first.

Let these Indians, who are not rich but have a lot of rules, look down on Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, and thank the caretaker while hurriedly walking away to find other cars. Do you want to win glory for Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, the national Xueluo and Liu Jingshu. Finding a tuk-tuk car, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu waved warmly to each other as they left the square, and the men, women, and children who were waiting in line for the bus warmly waved to each other.

Amritsar from the railway station to the Golden Temple, this tuk-tuk costs 150, pulling 4 people plus luggage, really not expensive. The people of Amritsar are much more modest than those of Delhi. Amritsar manpower tricycle driver. smiled very kindly and looked at Xueluo and Liu Jingshu. The men in Amritsar, especially the slightly older ones, have two characteristics, one is a headscarf on their heads, and the other is a large beard.

A bearded man gives a very good feeling. Amritsar Hal Gate Amritsar Old City Gate. 19th-century building, more than 100 years old. There are many such old gates in Amritsar. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu passed by tuk-tuk from the train station. Amritsar may be said to be a Sikh holy place, but honestly, the streets look dirty and littery.

Maybe it's because there are too many outsiders. The intersection in front of me is a traffic artery, but there are people burning garbage on the street, and the smell of burnt paste fills the air, and the people around are turning a blind eye. The tuk-tuk took Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to the main entrance of the Golden Temple, and the driver said that the hotel Xueluo and Liu Jingshu had booked was very close to the north of the square, and it was only a few minutes' walk.

In the middle, the square car couldn't pass, so Xueluo and Liu Jingshu walked over. After getting off the bus, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu lost their direction and couldn't figure out the specific location of the hotel, so they asked passers-by to be pointed out the wrong way and walked to another hotel on the south side of the Golden Temple. The name of this hotel is similar to Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's, and the conditions are much better than Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's, and the price is cheaper.

But Xueluo and Liu Jingshu already had reservations, so they could only unfortunately take another car 120 times around the Golden Temple to book a hotel. Amritsar Dabar View Hotel is a small hotel booked in Amritsar, the condition is average, the room is small, and it is quite clean. Standard room 1789, including 1542% tax, excluding breakfast, the price opened online, expensive.

The on-site order should be able to cut some more. The selling point of this small hotel is the good location, right next to the Golden Temple, and the entrance to the Golden Temple and Charimar Park is about 5 minutes away. It is 3 km from the railway station and 10 km from the airport. The hotel has a restaurant serving Indian and continental dishes, with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options available.

Free Wi-Fi. Address: Amritsar India-Pakistan National Gate to watch the flag lowering ceremony - Located about 30 kilometers west of Amritsar city on the India-Pakistan border Attari Waga. Every afternoon before sunset, here on the India-Pakistan border.

The soldiers of the two countries jointly held a 30-minute flag-lowering ceremony with a strong sense of challenge. The flag-lowering ceremony has become an important part of the visit to Amritsar. Its observability is not lost. I originally planned to go to the Golden Temple in the morning after arriving in Amritsar this morning, and to watch the flag-lowering ceremony of India and Pakistan in the afternoon.

But when I arrived at the hotel, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and the hotel owner said that he had to leave for the India-Pakistan border 32 kilometers away before a quarter past two in the afternoon, otherwise it would be too late to watch the flag-lowering ceremony. Hurry up and find the tuk-tuk and hit the road. It is more than 60 kilometers from the Golden Temple to India and Pakistan, and the fare is 800.

A short asphalt road leads straight to the India-Pakistan border from the city, and there is no scenery along the way through the open countryside. Amritsar Amritsar India-Pakistan border flag lowering ceremony location map copyright From the map, it can be seen that the distance from the city of Lahore in Pakistan to the border is closer than Amritsar on the Indian side.

There is a train between the two cities, but it is said to be very slow. Lahore is the second largest city in Pakistan, the capital of Punjab Province, a famous historical and cultural city of Pakistan, known as the "soul of Pakistan", and was the capital of the Mughal Dynasty from 1525 to 1707. In 630 A.D., Xuanzang, a high-ranking monk of the Tang Dynasty of the Dragon Kingdom, visited here.

The gate of Lahore City facing Delhi in India is called Delhi Gate, while the main gate of Delhi Royal Palace-Red Fort facing Lahore is named Lahore Gate. The appearance of the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore and the Jama Mosque in Delhi are like twin brothers, larger than the mosque in Delhi, and can accommodate 60,000 people at a time, which is a testament to the deep historical ties between the two cities.

At that time, India and Pakistan were brothers in the same big country - the Mughal Dynasty, but now they have become enemies. In recent years, the activities of the Pakistani Taliban terrorist group have been rampant, and there have been several explosions in Lahore, and many civilians have been killed innocently.

In an Indian village two kilometers from the India-Pakistan border in Atarui, a simple parking lot and bag storage area have been set up next to the houses on the side of the road.

There is a simple bag storage area set up by the local people near the parking lot, except for mobile phones, cameras, wallets, other items including small bags. Looking at the villagers who looked like the bag watchers, they were a little worried. On the 2-kilometer journey from the bag storage area to the border, you can feel the atmosphere gradually becoming more and more solemn.

Indian soldiers are armed with live ammunition and have multiple checkpoints, and there are bunkers built with sandbags next to the checkpoints. Seeing people with doubtful appearances, the soldiers stepped forward to interrogate them. There were no other vehicles passing on the road except military vehicles, and it is not known whether this was only a traffic control during the flag-lowering ceremony, but there were no vehicles on the road waiting to be released.

This is a two-way lane in the direction of the country, and now it has become a pedestrian passage to watch the flag-lowering ceremony, there are many Indians, marching in a long line in the reverse lane on the left, the security check is stricter, and there are many links; Xueluo and Liu Jingshu are not many non-Indians, take the right lane.

The blue sign next to the front door reads: "Welcome to Indian Customs" and the language is friendly. But right on the side, there were soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition guards. See the tall green bunker in the middle of the road, there was a soldier guarding a machine gun with a long chain of bullets in the direction of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu.

He looks like he shoots immediately when he sees something. When you walk into the customs gate, there are soldiers sitting on the side of the road to check what you are carrying, except for your wallet, camera, and mobile phone, you can't bring anything else in. Further on, you have to go through a simple security gate. An Indian officer stood on horseback in the middle of the road looking ahead, his eyes unsquinting and expressionless.

I don't know if it's a kind of etiquette to welcome guests or to show a deterrent effect. Finally, under the guidance of the staff, I went to the viewing platform. The location of the crooked nuts is in the second area on the inside of the gate, and the cement steps are casually sitting. Further ahead is the first district closest to the country, which is obviously reserved for "related households".

There are not many people in the third district from the area where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu are located, and the people sitting are all Indians, and it seems that they are also for "related households". There were about five or six more viewing platforms on the outside, which were occupied by ordinary Indians, and it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already full. These Indians have come to watch the flag-lowering ceremony.

The lower left row of people sat in the best position - directly on a large chair on the side of the road, looking like a dignitary. The other three photographs show ordinary Indians sitting in the audience, excited and passionate, cheering wave after wave and waving their arms like a grove swaying in the wind.

On the gate of India, a large portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, who is beloved by Indians, is hung on it, representing the symbol of the country. Overhead, an Indian flag flutters high. A politician who selflessly dedicated his life to national reconciliation and independence, and the masses of the people closely linked him with the destiny and future of the country, the progress of the country, and the dignity and honor of the country.

And unshakably loved by the Most Sincere, what a glory! Karamchand. Gandhi, known as Mahatma Gandhi, was the leader of the Indian National Liberation Movement and the leader of the Indian National Congress Party, and is revered as the founding father of modern India. He was the founder of Gandhiism, a modern political doctrine that advocated nonviolent resistance.

His philosophy of "non-violence" has influenced nationalists and international movements around the world for peaceful change. His spiritual ideas led India to independence from British colonial rule. After independence, Gandhi gained great respect from the Indian people and the Congress Party, but he fell from power.

The ideals of non-violence, which he had fought for all his life, were also shelved. In the face of religious vendetta and chaos after the partition, Gandhi used his prestige and hunger strike to help quell the mass sectarian vendetta, but he fell victim to sectarian conflict and died at the gunpoint of a fanatical Hindu in Delhi.

In this direction is the border line between India and Pakistan, and at the low gate in front of it, there is a white line on the ground, separating the two countries, India and Pakistan. Beyond that gate is the territory of Pakistan. Looking over there, you can see the green flag of Pakistan standing tall. In the distance is the national gate of Pakistan, on which hangs a large portrait of Jinnah, the "Father of Pakistan".

On both sides of the gate, there is a curved viewing platform that resembles a stadium stand. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, leader of the 1876~1948 Pakistan Founding Movement and the founder of the country, political activist. The former chairman of the Muslim League of India and Pakistan actively advocated the partition of Muslims and Hindus in the former British India.

In recognition of his monumental contribution to the founding of the independent state of Pakistan, the people of Pakistan hail him as the "Father of Pakistan". Pakistani flag flying on the India-Pakistan border. The flag is rectangular in shape, with a ratio of length to width of 3:2. On the left side is a white vertical rectangle, which occupies 1/4 of the width of the entire flag.
