Chapter 203 Princess Wencheng's Looking Back

After leaving Barkang Street, the group got into the car and headed straight to Hanlixuan Barbecue Supermarket.

Because after discussion just now, most people wanted to eat the self-service barbecue, so Old Liu waved his hand and sent a soldier to Han Lixuan.

Han Lixuan is a chain barbecue restaurant. The store Lao Liu and his friends went to was a city department store, which is a few hundred meters east of Bugong Square. After a while, you can just walk to Bugong after eating.

It is natural to eat a meal. Zhasi Dawa and others have many taboos when it comes to eating. They cannot eat it in a mess, and they don’t even eat seafood, so they choose barbecue.

This can be eaten.

After eating and drinking, the group walked westward. Not long after walking, they arrived at the wide Bugong Square.

If the messy near Bakang Street that I turned around in the morning was dizzy, then when you arrived at Bugong Square, you would feel as if you were in the Great Plain. The strong contrast even made people who came to these two places for the first time unable to believe that this would be in the same city.

Perhaps there is no longer a spacious and flat place in the entire Nikko City than Bugong Square.

There are many tourists taking photos on the huge Bugong Square, and on Maburi Mountain to the north of the square, there is the towering and majestic Potala Palace.

The cloth palace is white and red on top. Most of the palace walls are painted with white paint, only at the highest point, while the outer wall in the middle is red.

The white area is called the White House, and the red area is called the Red Palace.

The White House is where Rinpoches live and work in every day. As for the Red Palace at the highest point, the most important building is the sacred temple of Rinpoches in total for five generations.

This year's off-season, Bu Palace doesn't even need tickets. You can get tickets with your ID card at the ticket office in the southwest corner of Bu Palace.

The group received the tickets, then entered Bu Palace from the south gate and began a tour.

Among these buildings below the Potala Palace, there are several museums, the most famous of which is the Treasure Museum.

It’s a pity that the Treasure House is not allowed to take photos, so Lao Liu and the others can only see and remember with their hearts.

In the Treasure Museum, what impressed Lao Liu the most was not the exquisite treasures of the museum, such as the eight-petal lotus and the Vajra Mandala statue, and the controversial white glaze dark conch thread bowl. These are all national treasure-level treasures, but perhaps Lao Liu does not have that kind of artistic bubble, so he really has no interest in these national treasures.

The only thing Lao Liu remembers most clearly is the "Plateau Demon Suppression Picture".

The Rakshasa girl lying on her back on the ground was suppressed by temples of different sizes. In a pattern that was only one and a half meters long and more than seventy centimeters long, there were all the main temples on the plateau, and they happened to be suppressed at the joints and heart of the limbs of this Rakshasa girl, covering the entire territory of the plateau.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just this idea makes people feel extremely powerful.

After staying in the Treasure Hall for about forty minutes, everyone started climbing the mountain.

The Bu Palace is built on Mount Maburi, and if you want to visit, you must climb the mountain.

The zigzag stairs of the "Zhi" shape are intersecting halfway up the mountain. Many breathless tourists are climbing hard while enjoying taking photos as souvenirs.

Everyone knows that in the area where Bu Palace can be visited, there are two places that cannot be taken in the Treasure Hall that Lao Liu and the others have visited just now, and the other is that there is no photo taken in the Red Palace on the top of the mountain.

To enter the Red Palace, you must first climb to the White House. After climbing up, there is a small square above, which is the last area in the Bu Palace that allows photos to be taken. Go forward and enter the Red Palace, which is prohibited from taking photos.

It doesn’t matter to Zhaxi Dawa and the others, but it was the first time that Lao Liu and the Han people came to Bu Palace, so they naturally had to take photos as a souvenir.

After taking the photos, the group entered the Red Palace from the entrance.

To be honest, the passages in the Red Palace are relatively narrow and short, especially in some places where ladders are needed. The wooden escalator is very steep and even requires hands and feet to climb up...

There were many tourists inside, and there were countless Tibetan believers who paid tribute and worship. The air was filled with a strong smell of ghee. Tashidava and others also wanted to serve ghee to the Buddha and the statue of Rinpoche who was worshipped.

After wandering around in a daze for a long time, when he finally came out of the back of the Red Palace, he actually felt like Ling Jueding was rushing.

Because the height of the Bu Palace itself is close to 120 meters, and it is located on the Hongshan Mountain, which is Maburi Mountain, so standing on the platform behind the Hongshan Palace of Bu Palace, you can see the entire Sunshine City, even the Yaowang Mountain and Mopan Mountain to the west are shorter than the Bu Palace.

Standing here, because of the Red Palace, the city of Rikkong City on the south side of the Bu Palace cannot be seen, but can be seen in the north, west and east.

Below your feet are Zongjiao Lukang Park behind Bu Palace and Longwangtan in the park. Looking northwest, you can see the huge Lalu Wetland by looking past the dense buildings. Looking further from afar, you can see the snow-covered mountains.

At this time, due to the snowfall, even the mountains around Sunac City became "white-headed".

Walk down the stairs in the shape of "zhi" and arrive at the back of the Bu Palace for more than twenty minutes.

"Do you want to go to the park for a walk?" Old Liu asked Chu Qian.

Chu Qian shook her head, "Let's go to Bugong Square. Last time I came to Bugong, I had already gone to the park, but I didn't go to the square."

"Okay, then let's go to the square to have a look." As he said that, Lao Liu asked Dagou if they wanted to go to the park, and they were unwilling to go.

In fact, visiting the Bu Palace is a very physically consuming task. After all, it is 3,700 meters above sea level. It is climbing mountains and visiting the Red Palace. In addition, visiting the Jokhang Temple in the morning, Dagou and the others are already very tired at this time.

Since everyone was unwilling to go, I walked east along the path behind the mountain for a while and went directly to the road on the east side of the Bu Palace.

Walk south along the road, there are many small shops and a small market on the east side of the road, which sells various local products from Sunac City.

Lao Liu doesn’t know how to buy things here. If he wants local specialties from the plateau, he can just go to Wang Erhu’s project department to get it. The price is cheap and fidelity.

After leaving the scenic area gate, the group came to Bugong Square again and took photos on the square as a souvenir.

In the middle of the square, there is a red area on the ground, marked with the altitude of Sunshine City - 3646.31 meters.

A group of people took photos here as a souvenir.

"In fact, it's best to come to Bugong Square at night. If you come here at night and pour some water on the ground, you can take a reflection of Bugong through the water." Gesanglazhen said, "I came to Bugong last summer, and I came to the evening. Moreover, the lake in the small park to the east of the square can also take a reflection of Bugong. It's very beautiful."

"Are you talking about that little lake?" Chu Qian asked to point to the east.

"Well, it's that lake. At night, the Bu Palace is brightly lit and the reflections are taken through the lake surface. It's really very, very beautiful."

"Let's go and take a look." It's all here, and it's not difficult to go and take a look.

A group of people came to the small park in the east and saw not only the lake, but also many trees that were protected and grew strangely shaped...

This kind of tree grows very strangely, and the trunk is very thick, and at least two or three people have to hug it. However, the trunks are very short, at most one person is tall, with thick branches scattered and separated on it. Moreover, the trunks are twisted, like twisted flowers.

There are several trees by the lake that even lie horizontally on the lake surface. If it weren't for some steel pipes supporting them, these branches might have already sunk into the water.

"This is Zuoxuan Liu. It is said that it was planted by Princess Wencheng himself." Gesanglazhen transformed into a narrator and began to tell everyone about these strange-shaped trees.

Liu Mo'ang smiled and said, "So this is the legendary Zuoxuan Liu."

Chu Qian said: "It seems that there are many such Zuoyi willows near Longwang Pond, with more numbers than here."

Gesanglazhen nodded and said, "Zuoxuan willow is a famous scene in our Rikkong City. There were no willow trees on the plateau before. Legend has it that when Princess Wencheng arrived at Rikkong City, she planted these willow branches given by Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin when she parted from Baqiao in person, near the Bu Palace and Jokhang Temple. At first, Princess Wencheng did not expect that these willow branches would survive, but she did not expect that many of these willow branches with strong vitality would take root and sprout. Since then, willow trees have appeared on the plateau.

Later, because Princess Wencheng missed her hometown, she often looked back and stared at the direction of her hometown Chang'an. Over time, these willow trees that were planted by Princess Wencheng himself began to rotate slowly, as if they were looking back and staring. Later, these willow trees became what they are now."

"Wow, it's so touching..." Several ladies were a little moved.

Lao Liu nodded and said, "The legend of Zuoxuan willow is very touching, and have you discovered that the direction of the willow tree rotation and the direction of the Tibetan monks' meridians are the same, and they are both rotated clockwise. This is a very magical phenomenon."

When everyone looked at these left-handed willows that looked like a dragon, they found that the directions of these willow trees were indeed clockwise.

In short, it is really eye-opening to be able to see such a magical willow tree at such a high altitude.

You should know that near the inn more than 100 kilometers away, let alone trees, you can't even see the holly tree...

After visiting Bugong Square, the sun had already set.

"Eat outside or go home?" Lao Liu continued to ask everyone for advice.

A few ladies from the Tibetan corpse were crazy today and insisted on eating in the city, but the big dog stopped doing it.

"Go back and eat. It costs a lot of money to eat in the city, and the food is very average. Why don't we cook it yourself after we go back. Besides, if we have supper in the city, who will drive you back?"

Big Dog must drink a bottle of white wine for dinner. This is well-known. If you don’t drink some, this guy will not be able to sleep at night.

In the end, with the insistence of the dog, the group drove back to the inn. When they arrived at the inn, my uncle and Wang Feng, who had already received the notice, had already made two tables of good dishes waiting for them!
