Foreword: in January 2014, a walk on the go trip took us into the pure Tibet and mysterious Nepal. For the first time, we stood so close to the sky and realized the great power of Buddhism. For the first time, we were lost in the chaotic streets of a foreign country. The 13 day journey spanned the slow life of more than two time zones. All the way westward, we were in the magical country 2000 kilometers away from home—————— ——————————Gorgeous dividing line

When you come out of the customs and continue to walk down, you will find the place where you need to find a car. This place has a suggestion for you. Try to pass the customs as soon as possible and come to find a car as soon as possible. If there are many tourists on that day, we need to come here as soon as possible. If there are many tourists, the price of renting a car will certainly go up very high. Before I saw a post about 500 rupees to get to the car, it's just a fable. When we went there, we just told me that 2000 rupees is a lot for one person. 500 rupees. It's the life of a bus. The bus in Nepal is terrible. At that time, we went to see the bus and quickly withdrew. That car is not as good as the bus in the 1980s. Cheap is cheap, only 350 rupees. But it's seven hours from here to Kathmandu. The thought of sitting on such a bus for another seven hours is hopeless. Fortunately, one of GUI mei'er's parents works in Zhangmu. Through a friend of hers, we talked about the price for a car. It's not cheap either. It's 9000 a car, which can take six people. It happened that the four of us shared a car with a couple of CAI Ge and his wife who came from Beijing. However, I found it very tragic when I got on the bus. This bus can hold six people, but only if there is a small amount of luggage. Because there is no luggage rack in this car, all the lines are piled in the back of the car. The people in the back only sleep in a pile of luggage. Very tragic.

January 30: I got up early today. It's not too early. It's 8:00 Beijing time, but it's not 6:00 here. I'm going to get to Monkey Temple early to take the sunrise of Jiadu. My wife was still sleeping, so I went out with my camera on my back. It's quiet in Tamil in the early morning. Occasionally a few pedestrians and a few passing vehicles did not open a shop.

When we went back to Tamil, we got up one after another, had breakfast, and then called a taxi to go to the Duba square in badgang. It costs about 750 rupees to take a taxi from Jiadu to badgang. The tickets for the Duba square in badgang are preferential for Chinese passport. If you show your Chinese passport, the tickets are 150 rupees. If not, 750 rupees. It seems that we are still very friendly to our Chinese compatriots here. In the Duba square in badgang, we invited a Chinese speaking friend to be our tour guide. The Chinese of the friend is not very good. But it's funny. When asked what his name was, he said with pride that his name was Mao Zedong... I'm going to.. Along the way, this little friend explained it to us in Chinese with a strange accent. It is said that his father is also a tour guide. He said that his father can earn about 4000 yuan a month, which is very rich in the local area. So we identified him as a local rich second generation. The young man is very diligent. He has learned English, Chinese and painting Tangka. It seems that no matter how hard he is, he can live a good life wherever he is.

I got up early in the morning on January 31, and arrived at Duba square in gadu with Sally, whom my ghost sister bought yesterday. Before, GUI mei'er saw a group of photos taken here on the Internet and wanted to take a group very much. In order to satisfy this wish, we arrived here early in the morning. The personal feeling of Duba square in the morning is really different, and there are few people. The whole square is very ethereal and sacred, accompanied by pigeons who are startled by children from time to time. A new day begins

When we got back to Tamil, our friends got up. After breakfast, we called a taxi and decided to go to the third Duba square, Patan Duba square. The taxi fare from Tamil to Patan is about 200-250 rupees. Tuba square in Patan is bigger. The ticket is 500 rupees. There's a sign to hang up after you go in. In fact, it's just to distinguish you from tourists. There are many handmade shops here. Most of them are shops for making Buddha statues. The Buddha inside is very delicate. If you can do it. You can find many exquisite handicrafts here.

Preview: from Kathmandu, we went on to bocala, chigwang, and then back to Lhasa. I experienced the feeling of waiting for the wind in bokala, felt the wildness of primitive forest in quewang, and experienced the spiritual shock brought by religion in Lhasa. Please look forward to: 2014... Tibet and Nepal... Walking in the foothills of the Himalayas (Part 2)
