Chapter 342: Amazement in the depths of the vertical pupils
This 1.5 square kilometers of the palace fort, the appearance is very majestic, although the palace in the city, after a long time, most of them have fallen into disrepair, but the delicate carvings and designs on the painted beams and walls still vaguely preserve the magnificent style of the past. There is an octagonal stone tower www.biquge.info the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion, climb to the top of the tower, overlook, you can see the world-famous Taj Mahal.
In front of us is the Yamuna River, opposite the distance. It is said that when King Shah Jahan was confined to this ancient fort by his third son, he often sat silently in the small building, looking at the Taj Mahal with infinite longing, as if pouring out his lonely and sad heart, the ticket is 500 rupees including shooting, and if you want to explain it, pay 50 rupees more.
Xueluo bought a ticket is to say that he only buys a ticket, and then when looking for Xueluo money, he will find less money, the staff counted the explanation fee, Xueluo looked for him at the window and told him that he was looking for less Xueluo money, and the staff reluctantly took out the extra money. Pay more attention when you go out, and know how to protect your own rights and interests. The price of the ticket is not the black letter on the ticket.
It's to see the blue stamps they stamp. 500 rupees for foreigners and 30 rupees for Indians, Xueluo borrowed the tickets of local Indians and took a photo. There is the famous "Hall of Hearings" in the fort, which was the place where the Mughal emperors received ministers and envoys. There is also Jahankir Palace, Octagonal Watchtower and Modi Mosque.
Because it is built with pure white marble, it is exquisite and elegant, so it is also called the Pearl Mosque and other buildings. An uncle of the ornamental stone asked Xueluo to pour some food for the little squirrel and let Xueluo feed the little squirrel, and Xueluo happily fed the little squirrel, thinking that he could finally touch her. Unexpectedly, the uncle asked Xueluo for money later.
Xueluo smiled and refused and said that you just give Xueluo such a little and want Xueluo to pay, but Xueluo doesn't want it. I thought they were praying here, but then I realized that they were looking down. One of the few attractions where Snow Falls personally likes is that the fort is very large and has a variety of buildings that are very beautiful. When I took the photo, I saw students in school uniforms in the distance, and rushed over after taking the photo in a hurry.
The Taj Mahal can also be seen in the distance. A group of cute students, they asked this and that around Xueluo, and the math teacher took a photo of Xueluo, and they all started to laugh. There are a lot of tourists, many cute babies didn't expect to meet the previous one again, Xueluo saw that her daughter's braids were very beautiful and couldn't help but praise, and her mother immediately said to help Xueluo weave a very fast.
Excitedly, Xueluo sat down and braided it. (Her daughter has been saying that she is a princess and locked the prince in this castle) beautiful braids, poignant love story has also attracted many couples, and the newlyweds who are sitting here doing nothing to do are taking wedding photos.
They arrived yesterday, chatted about Xueluo and Liu Jingshu still going on the same trip, and then asked Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to be on the same train. They didn't know where to go in the afternoon, so they recommended going to the ancient city of Fatehpur Sikri together. The people who had made an appointment on the New Year's Eve didn't get together due to travel problems.
Xueluo and Liu Jingshu also met for a good New Year's Eve meal in the evening. Later, they fought together to play, which was a wise decision made by Xueluo, so that it became the easiest city for Xueluo to play the whole time. Here, the snow falls mischievously into the photos of people, and several young men and women play and take selfies while queuing.
Xueluo was right behind them, Xueluo simply took the initiative to stand in the back and join in, they took the photo and laughed, Xueluo could only laugh and say that he was embarrassed to come in and destroy it. Out, in order to avoid the entangled tuk-tuk drivers Xueluo and Liu Jingshu walked forward carelessly, came to a slum, and Xueluo, who was left behind, stopped curiously to watch.
The women on the opposite side smiled and beckoned Xueluo to let the snow fall in, and the timid Xueluo chased after the little friend who had gone away and rejected them, and then regretted it all the way, and wanted to go to Mumbai to see why the snow fell in the slums Why such a small roadside slum did not dare to step in. In order to get to the ancient city of Fatehpur, Sikri Xueluo and Liu Jingshu rushed to the bus station.
After waiting for a long time, the bus was actually full, and told Xueluo and Liu Jingshu that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu needed to change trains halfway, and Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, who had thought twice, chose to charter a car in order to save time. 250 rupees bag round trip for 4 people. The ancient city of Fatehpur Sikri is a small town 40 km away. The road conditions along the way are very good.
That was the first time that Snowfall had encountered such a good asphalt road in India. After the driver arrived at the parking lot, he left Xueluo and told Xueluo to wait for Xueluo and Liu Jingshu for 1 and a half hours, and let Xueluo and Liu Jingshu leave without any deposit. In India, you must be careful not to give too much money first, although some drivers have to pay a deposit, but remember that the deposit must be less than half.
This is a hint from the experience of the beautiful sister I picked up later to Xueluo, and I will talk about it later in the story. The site takes its name from a nearby village called Sigri. In 1986, it was listed as a World Heritage Site, which originally meant "Victory City".
It was founded in the second half of the 16th century and is located in the territory of Uttar Pradesh, India. The site is home to a number of distinctive temples and a large, lavishly decorated royal palace that highlights the glorious achievements of the Mughal civilization. The main building of the city is made of red sand stone and decorated with white marble with inlaid patterns and engraved with various fine and delicate patterns.
The mosque in the city is one of the largest in India and can accommodate more than 10,000 worshippers. In addition, it is also home to the mausoleum of the saint Sheikh Shalim Chisti. It was a Friday when the snow fell and Liu Jingshu passed, and the Daga Mosque in the city did not require an entrance fee, and the Victory City Palace cost 500 rupees.
The famous Daga Mosque, which was built in 15711572 to accommodate 10,000 worshippers, has the tomb of Shaki Salinchisti in the center of the temple, which is beautifully carved and decorated. There are many trinkets sold at the entrance of the mosque, and the price will drop from $10 to $1.
They all took the initiative to reduce the price, as long as you don't buy it, you keep reducing the price. Many children in the town will follow you to give you a explanation, or ask for a ticket, which is not needed to explain that the snow falls, and the tickets are given to them anyway that the snow falls does not need to fall in the snow. As soon as I entered the mosque, a man came up.
I enthusiastically told Xueluo and Liu Jingshu that they didn't need tickets this Friday, and then said that he was a staff member, and he took Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to visit, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu looked puzzled, he repeatedly said that he didn't charge money, he was a staff member, and there was a man on the side to Xueluo and Liu Jingshu. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu followed him helplessly to listen to his explanation.
To be honest, the explanation is not bad, every point is explained, but I keep asking no, and I'm annoyed. The point is that after the end of the viewing, he took Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to a small stall in the corridor, buying carved handicrafts, and in the mosque mausoleum, when he explained that his family is making the kind of carvings on the wall, Xueluo thought about him in his heart.
Is it to sell these crafts to Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, and sure enough, Xueluo guessed it. What's even more powerful is that sitting in front of the stall is the man who told Xueluo and Liu Jingshu that he was a good person when he was a good person! Sure enough, the two of them are in a group, because they really don't want to be bought a bunch of things at this time to increase the weight of their luggage, so Xueluo and Liu Jingshu refuse in various ways.
I really don't want to buy it, they won't force it to buy, and then I ask for a tip, and then ask Xueluo and Liu Jingshu if you can give him a tip if you are happy to make him happy. No wonder you keep asking no, do you still refuse to tip after saying so much? There is no way to give a 100 rupee tip, and there is always 100 rupees along the way.
The guide who took the whole town to explain it refused, and it cost 100 rupees to explain a mosque alone! Don't be like the snow falling and trying to be tricked. on this white square.
Please note that you need to take off your shoes when entering the mausoleum. The tomb of Shaki Salinchisti is beautifully carved and decorated. The people who sang at the entrance of the mausoleum, when they went in to see the snowfall to see the shoes, came up to an uncle, borrowed the snowfall camera to see and said that the snowfall lens was very large, and the snowfall said yes, Indian buildings need a large wide-angle lens.
The uncle said that he was a photographer, and also told Xueluo that his niece would get married here next week, and chartered this mosque to hold a wedding and invited Xueluo to attend, Xueluo said that Xueluo left at that time, and it was a pity that he could not participate. The mountain at the top of the door is honey, and the guide said that there were a lot of bees here a few months ago, and they disposed of the bees, and now there is only honey.
Xueluo looked at the honey greedily at the time, he said that Xueluo seemed to want it very much, Xueluo said that he wanted it very much, and he said that he would wait for Xueluo to send Xueluo a big bottle next time. Fatehpur Sikri means victory, so it was later named Victory Palace. Its construction process is as follows: Although Akbar the Great had many wives and concubines, he was married for many years and still had no children.
One day, passing through the town of Sikri, he met a prophet Sharin, who claimed to be able to predict the future, and asked for his guidance. Shalin prophesied that Akbar would have a son to succeed to the throne, but he would have to send his two wives to live in Sigri Town. Later, one of the Indian wives gave birth to a son, and the Emperor named his son Shalin in gratitude to the Prophet.
It is King Gahangir, who inherited the throne of Akbar after his mouth. Entrance fee to the palace is 500 rupees for foreigners, and there are many guides at the door, so there is no need to refuse directly. I forgot to go back after playing, and the driver called to urge Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to hurry back. When I went back to pay, I was looking for change with my friends, and Xueluo said that he would pay him directly.
They told Xueluo that they had met the driver before and left without looking for money, and Xueluo told them to pay to sit in the car and not get out of the car, and to get out of the car after looking for your money. And taught them how to bargain and how to calculate the price. Later, when I sent the snow back to the hotel, I heard Ah Cheng say: ,. I knew that they had learned to start bargaining, and they went back with peace of mind.
In the evening, I returned to the hotel to put down my things and started the dinner of the year 30, due to the New Year's Eve, and it was not easy to have a few people to eat together, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu decisively chose a more high-end restaurant, and arrived at the restaurant at about 9 o'clock, which was full of people, and also needed to call the number to queue. After Xueluo left her name, the staff told Xueluo that Xueluo's name was pronounced "Allah".
Xueluo looked confused, and said with a smile that he called Xueluo twice more when he called it, in case Xueluo didn't hear that the food was delicious, especially the soup in their dragon country cuisine, which was particularly delicious, but the amount was a little small, and the soup of 200 rupees was said to be for two people, and Xueluo felt that it was completely one person. Delhi, India, will have a particularly high tax, a little more high-end restaurants.
Chain restaurants have taxes, so please be aware when checking out. Here is said to be a hotel accommodation to negotiate the price of the tax must ask the tax, Xueluo has asked the tax before they didn't say anything, the checkout added the tax, Xueluo immediately defended his rights, since the beginning of the ask did not tell Xueluo at this time there is no responsibility to charge Xueluo, so remind the price is to ask for taxes.
The name and address of the restaurant, really good to try. The next day is the highlight of the Taj Mahal, I have to say that most people come for the Taj Mahal, the uncle who met on the train before has been in contact, the uncle's journey is faster than the snow falls, so he has visited the Taj Mahal before the snow falls, and then he asked the snow fall Taj Mahal and the Ganges like that.
Xueluo replied that Xueluo has not visited the Taj Mahal yet, and he can't tell you, but Xueluo is looking forward to the Taj Mahal, and it can be said that this attraction is what Xueluo is most looking forward to. The uncle told Xueluo that he liked it, and that his mother liked the Taj Mahal, and Xueluo thought to himself that she was also a woman, and that Xueluo might be inclined to the Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal opening hours: West Gate and East Gate.
Sunrise to sunset (about 6:30-19:00) here to pay attention, don't look at the regulations 6:30 open, when you get there to line up to know that he is really open at sunrise that day, snow fall queue to open at 7 o'clock;South Gate: 8:0017:00. The Taj Mahal is not open on Fridays, food is not allowed, tripods are not allowed, and bags can only be brought in small packets.
So it's best to travel lightly, the snow falls at the ticket office and the bag is the tip they want, and the snow falls and pretends to be stupid and helplessly lets the snow fall away. The next morning at 5 o'clock to go out, called the car directly to the east gate, came very early and dark, there was no one on the road, from the point of getting off to the ticket office to walk a long way, on the road to walk here a policeman uncle and Xueluo walked together.
I chatted with Xueluo. During the chat, I also touched Xueluo's head several times, which made Xueluo afraid of the police for the first time. Didn't it say that the religious countries of India can't touch other people's heads casually, why does he always touch Xueluo's head, Xueluo hurriedly quickened his pace and came to the ticket office. Before the ticket office opened, there were already a few European and American tourists waiting.
Xueluo asked, isn't it time to sell tickets, why don't you open the door yet, and a few people waiting said that they want to sleep. Wait until around 6:30 to finally buy tickets, by which time the queue for buying tickets is already long. Entrance fee for foreigners 1000 rupees (includes a bottle of mineral water, which can be brought in, a map, a shoe cover.
At the door, the ticket was taken) the Indians hurried to the east gate after 50 rupees, and there was already a long queue at this time, and the ladies had a ladies passage. The same queue for a long time until about 7:15 before opening, next to the British tourists said that this is really open according to the sunrise time, the Internet said that today 7:15 sunrise. The Taj Mahal forgives Snow Falling for this clumsy pose.
