Chapter 328: Tortoise's Silence
Maybe it's because of the novelty of being in a foreign country, or maybe it's because it's more shameless when you're abroad, but wandering the streets of a foreign country can especially arouse the desire to take pictures of the snowfall. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info are not hidden, and they basically never take pictures when the snow falls in China. Although this little girl is ugly, she smiles really and is very infectious.
The footage on the street is like a movie screenshot. Xueluo walked all the way along the wall of the east gate of the Taj Mahal, and saw dozens of monkeys fighting in groups, jumping from the towering city tower and chasing all the way into the woods.
The fighting monkeys were too dangerous, but the lions guarding the gate looked very safe, and tourists were not allowed to walk to the river, but for the sake of the snowfall's appearance, the police on duty let the snow fall. A policeman with a very strong beard and a very personality chatted with Xueluo with great interest, and if he didn't agree with him, he would ask Xueluo to smoke, as for the taste, haha.
Xueluo is also a drama on the spot, smiling and smiling, looking detached, and in broad daylight, foreign beauties openly flirt with state officials! There are two restaurants that make Xueluo unforgettable, one has delicious food, and the other has a story. The restaurant with delicious food is called, and you can tell by looking at the name that this main restaurant is barbecue, but the most important thing is that there is meat here, and it is an unlimited buffet barbecue!
For a person who hasn't eaten much meat in India for a week, this restaurant is the center of the universe of justice on earth! This restaurant is amazing, ranking first in the region, and every friend who goes to Xueluo must be recommended to you! The restaurant environment is relatively good, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu also met a local in the restaurant for their children's birthday party.
In addition to the chicken that you usually eat, there are also a variety of lamb that tastes great! It is a luxurious place to eat shrimp! It is an after-dinner dessert, and Yukiro is not interested in trying these seemingly inexplicable things. If Xueluo told you that the icing fennel seed in the top right corner was their gum, you wouldn't be interested!
The restaurant with the story is called the café restaurant, which was founded with funding from the group (Stop the Sulfuric Acid Attack) and whose employees are all victims of sulfuric acid disfigurement. It's hard to imagine what happened to them behind the scars, but you can see the resilience and optimism behind their smiles. And this restaurant is awesome and ranks second in the region!
Pictures of these disfigured girls with sulfuric acid hang on the walls, showing their resilient and optimistic side. There are also a lot of good picture books and books in the restaurant. Although the restaurant is vegetarian only, the coffee here is excellent. There are no prices on the menu, so customers can simply pay as much as they want after eating!
This is the second case of snow falling, and the driver of the snow falling car also asked the snow to pay at will. Although it is surprising, Xueluo wants to face the trust of others and the story behind it, no one should be stingy with this! Xueluo took a photo of the girl serving Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, with graffiti on the wall of the restaurant in the background.
The graffiti was all made by an employee, and Xueluo secretly wondered if this would be what she used to be. Slowly move from the departing train at sunset, and take Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to the enchanting land of Rajasthan. The food on the train is really unpalatable, I don't know the people on the Internet who say it tastes good.
What kind of mystery taste is it? It was already evening when I arrived, and the original soundtrack of "Slumdog Millionaire" was playing on the hotel car, and it was about the time of a song to come to the hotel that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu had booked. The first sight of the hotel was shocking.
I've slept in many hotels, but this one is really a very unique one, a private house with a history of more than 100 years, a strong Indian style, and a castle-like scattered building. Except for the front desk, the waiters in the hotel are basically East Asian faces, especially a waiter with long hair and a cold face, as cool as a Dongying killer.
I was very impressed by the snow fall. After asking the boss, I found out that the waiters employed by the hotel were all from Darjeeling, and he told the people of Darjeeling that they were very good at working in the service industry. The hotel is small, but the interior is intricately maze-like, with each floor reached by a spiral staircase being a different structure.
What's even more distinctive is the hotel's old-fashioned elevator, which is very interesting to use for the first time. On the walls are pictures of the family's old hunting, showing the family's former wealth. This is Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's room, although the room is not big, but neat and clean, I like such a stylish decoration very much.
Wake up the next day and can't wait to check out this unique hotel. It's a hotel next door, and it's a verdict in comparison. I don't know how much man-hours and effort it takes to paint such a complicated painting. Although the hotel is not big, it also has a swimming pool, and the exotic décor makes the pool look small and sophisticated.
Because the decoration of each room in the hotel is different, after discussing with the hotel, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu changed to another room on the second night. There was a small terrace outside the room, but since it was very hot outside, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu just took a picture here. At the first stop, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu went to Amber Fort on the outskirts of the city.
Yes, the old capital, founded in 1592, the castle is made of creamy white, light yellow, rose red and pure white stone, which looks like amber from a distance, so it is called Amber Fort. The castle covers a large area, and the interior is made up of a number of separate palaces, a mixture of Rajput and Islamic architectural styles, built on a hill and is very spectacular.
I once saw an advertisement for Guerlain's One Thousand and One Nights perfume, and it was shot in this castle, so I was looking forward to it. When the snow falls at the foot of this castle, there is a real sense of unreality, and it is impossible to tell whether it is the story or reality that makes this fantastic castle possible. Walking up the trail from the foot of the hill to the castle, you will see heavy walls with a small hole in each battlement.
It was used for observation and shooting. Amber Fort can meet a lot of Indians along the way, and the beautiful woman naturally wants to take a separate picture, haha! Winding on the opposite hill is the Great Wall, although it cannot be compared with the Great Wall of Snow Fall and Liu Jingshu.
But the walls that surround the hills around Amber Fort stretch for dozens of miles, protecting this small kingdom, and it is still very impressive, and it is still well preserved today. The Amber Fort is built on a castle halfway up the hill with a lot of wind. Blow, blow, blow~ The pride of Xueluo indulged in a handsome security guard in the castle, and he took the initiative to be a tour guide to introduce Xueluo.
Xueluo understands that he actually wants a tip, but he is still happy to learn more about the castle with his guidance and introduction. He carried the snow down the cramped passages and stairwells, and when the snow fell, he realized that the whole castle was like a labyrinth, and he would probably lose his way if he walked on his own. He introduced Xueluo to the king's sleeping chamber and the baby's room in the castle.
There are vents that use physical principles to solve indoor ventilation, as well as wells filled with hundreds of bats, which are driven by manpower to divert water from under the castle to the castle, as well as a complete set of drainage facilities, and even use sewage to flush toilets. The castle has a beautifully decorated archway.
The paintings on the walls are supposed to have been restored and brightly colored. Passing through this arch leads to the famous Palace of Mirrors inside the castle. It is said that the mirrors embedded in the walls of the Palace of Mirrors have now been replaced by fakes, but there are still multiple security guards guarding the place and putting up a cordon. Glass and mirrors are not considered valuable items today.
But at the time, these thumb-sized lenses were as precious as gems. In the dark night, when the candle is lit indoors, the candlelight can be reflected on thousands of mirrors, and the whole room is like a bright starry sky. Such a scene can only be made up in the mind, but later I really saw such a scene in the hotel in Udaipur.
There is a platform inside the castle, and the cascading porticos inside are beautiful. It is somewhat similar to the Hall of Thousand Pillars in China, but it is much smaller. The castle is really worth watching, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu stayed all afternoon, and finally reluctantly left under the urging of the staff.
This is the first time Xueluo has seen an ancient castle, and he likes these magnificent buildings very much, maybe the next time Xueluo will come to India, he will go to see the ancient castle and the stepwell. Amber Fort is in the square inside the castle, there are many long-tailed monkeys, which look cute but are actually very dangerous, because they are very aggressive and often fight fiercely for food.
But he still insisted on taking a photo with this long-tailed monkey in a daze. When Amber Castle leaves the castle, he meets the children who are wearing eyeshadow. The pavilion on the shore of Lake Amber Fort is topped with pigeons. The night scene was planned to be taken before the snow fell, and at sunset, the snow fell on the side of the road and waited for the best time to shoot.
Because the scene is relatively wide, Xueluo did not choose a wide-angle lens to shoot, but used a standard lens of 50 for splicing. The light changes very quickly after sunset and before dark, and the light ratio of the castle to the background sky changes rapidly, so the snow had to be filmed in the shortest possible time.
However, just when Xueluo was about to complete two photos, two Indian policemen suddenly came, and stopped Xueluo from shooting for no reason. I was in a very bad mood on the way back.
But in India, you never know what will happen in the next second. This is the unfinished splicing, and you can see the mutilation on the right side of the screen. In the early morning of the second day, Xue Luo and Liu Jingshu walked around the streets, and walked into a vegetable market by mistake, especially like the bright colors of the streets of India, unlike the colors of the streets in Southeast Asia, which are more fresh and feel that they are intentionally decorated.
The colors of India come from life, which is natural and simple yet rich and heavy. When it comes to color, you can't go around the "Pink City". The origin of the Pink City originated from the visit of Prince Edward VII of Wales, and Prince Singh ordered the entire city to be painted in a uniform pink style, and the warm colors were praised by the prince.
The "Pink City" has since become famous. The custom of painting pink has been retained to this day in the form of legal norms for the houses on Jaipur Street. The most famous pink building in the Old Town is the Palace of the Winds. Many years ago, in addition to the Taj Mahal, another Indian building that Xueluo knew about was probably the Palace of the Winds.
When I first saw the photos, I was amazed. With a honeycomb-like pane, the whole building is like a work of art, intricate and exquisite. Here at the Palace of the Winds, Yukiro meets an interesting Indian with long curly hair who speaks Chinese in the Takashima dialect, and he tells Yukiro that his ex-girlfriend is a man and the current one is a Brazilian model.
His wish is to find girlfriends from different countries and learn the languages of different countries, what a world-minded thing! He brought the snow to the top of the building opposite the Palace of the Winds, which was the best place to admire the building. The Palace of the WindThe Palace of the Wind is said to be a palace, but it is actually a paper building, and more than 200 years ago, the beauties of the harem could peek into the street through the windows in the attic.
, which is the embodiment of India's boudoir culture. When there is a strong wind, open the 953 windows on the building, and the strong wind can pass through the hall and prevent the building from topplizing. The real palace of the city is actually the city palace in the center of the old city. The state of Rajasthan today was once a place of great power in history.
Numerous small divided kingdoms had their own castles and palaces, and Rajasthan's capital was no exception. The City Palace is not only a relic, but also a museum, which houses the clothes, carpets, weapons, and works of art left behind by the princes and nobles, witnessing the long and glorious history of the family.
Part of the palace has been converted into a museum and visitors are allowed to visit, but there are still some areas that are off-limits to the general public as the descendants of the Maharajas of Jaipur still live in the palace and you can experience the luxury of their former lives. The most famous of the city palaces is the Gate of the Four Seasons, which symbolizes spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Although the snow falls and you can't tell which door represents which season, don't care about these details, just take a look! The most extreme workmanship of the four doors is the peacock door, and the photo may not be able to see that the body of several peacocks on the wall is molded, and it is lifelike and ready to come out very 3! The scene is often dead, and no matter how you shoot it, it is the same.
And people in the scene will give life to the photo. There is a small detail in the Amber Fort, the upper mottled wooden door is from the Amber Fort, and the lower door is from the city palace, and the place where the royal family lives is indeed different! This day was originally planned to go to a small village about 95 miles away, where there is the largest in India - 1200 years old.
However, due to the fact that the Amber Fort photo was not taken the day before, Xueluo decided to take another photo of the Amber Fort and gave up the plan to go. However, in a small village next to Amber Castle, there is a small one called Xiao, which can be regarded as making up for some regrets.
