Road trip to Tibet, Day 2---The Guanyin Temple & Serta Larung Ngarik Nangten Lopling(观音寺和色达佛学院)
Picture first ~my most favor picture today ~
Enjoying our road trip! Keep going ~
We arrived a very famous Guanyin Temple, most Tibetan believe the Guanyin always blessing them , so when you come in ,you will find many Tibetan pilgrimage here, They always keep silence and mutter the lection.
A long stair , it's hard to climb the stairs when you at the high altitude district.
White Pagoda, behind this beautiful name, actually , they are tombs.
Many stones writing the Tibetan, they are all blessing word.
We walk in the temple , and can't help ourselves to keep silence .
We sit down on the floor same as them, a Lama give us each one a hada(哈达)--a piece of silk used as a greeting gift among the Zang and Mongol nationalities.
We listen their lection, although we can't understand any more.
We look around the internal Temple, there is so solemn.
Prayer wheel.
Do you see the monkeys ? They don't like the monkey in the zoo, they are so free.
We holding the food and they walk to us ! once they get the food, they run away fast!
Another amazing thing is our car stop by cattle, many cattle .
Serta Larung Ngarik Nangten Lopling, is the largest Lama School in China. Everywhere is red, houses are red, Lama are red, Temples are red.
If you want to come in ,just can walk or take the bus, you can't drive your own car inside ! we choose to take the bus to the top ,and then walk down.
Here the altitude is 4040 m, is the most high in these few days, someone already have altitude sickness, like headache.
Remind , if you don't want to have altitude sickness, you need to drink the Herba Rhodiolae(红景天) two weeks before , when you already in the high altitude district, drink it is useless. and don't do many sport, keep lazy , every day just eat and sleep ,like me , how sprightly in my whole trip ~
So beautiful when the lights turn on ~In order to take this video , I hold my hand for a long time under the coooooold weather ! When finish this video , my hand already freeze...
In the high altitude district, is very cold , and easy to sick , so our leader told us many times don't take shower tonight, easy to get a cold. But I can't help myself to take shower, if I don't take shower, I can't sleep , and fortunately , I am still very health ~
