Nepal at a glance (2)-Abad gang du bus Plaza

Nepal at a glance (2)-Abad gang du bus Plaza

To Nepal, I was a bit bewildered, just follow the Guide to go, because those names long, hard to remember.

See tour will know, the morning we went to the place called Bard posts, it is also called Bhaktapur, 14 km to the East in Kathmandu, is one of the three major cities in the Kathmandu Valley. Bard Kong is a city of "pilgrimage" means that Nepal medieval architecture and art.

From now on, the real start of our cultural tours.

Bard gang du bus Plaza as the Kathmandu Valley is one of the three Office Palace square into the world's cultural heritage, on the General admission fee of foreigners is 750, coins, and the Chinese people with Chinese passport as long as 50, coins, this is a rare special offer Chinese foreign sites.

Enter the area, we look at by all kinds of temple Tower.

The city was founded in ad 889 years from 13th century-18th century was the capital of the Kingdom of independent of Mara, known as "open-air museum", here is not only one of the political and cultural center of medieval Nepal, Nepal is also the cradle of art and architecture. United Kingdom people this evaluation the legendary town: "even if the entire Nepal were not, as long as there are bad, it is worth your flying over half the Earth to look at it. "Went in, and you'll always wonder, is indeed worth, it's worth it.

There are up to 500 years, Mara dynastic Palace, including many different artistic style of the palaces and courtyards, temples, statues, etc.

Walking in the several hundred-year history of the square, most wonders also those exquisite incomparable architecture, but those who live in these artistic treasures among the people. They sit in those exquisite pavilions, temples and pagodas on the steps, completely blind to those visitors, people's life is and these monuments coexist. This is a travel and lifestyle-cutting is full of charm. Here no Kathmandu noisy, but retained the original appearance of the ancient city of simplicity, the building of many stupas around the square is the people living in the alley, there is no fence, no restrictions.

The ancient city there are many shops, not only the sale of travel features articles, there are local necessities, it is said that here the characteristics of the goods purchased Nepal than Kathmandu cheaper.

School children, intake of women, the man riding a motorcycle, and stopping for a man, a good dog hybrid struggle to take pictures of visitors. Let surprise, no protection, but deliberately so well preserved. The water supply facilities very old and people still use it to fetch, while stone tap out of water is small, but people will wait patiently, with drums and jugs to wait. Nepal's painting, carving art is very excellent, walking around the square, will see the logic of the painting and sculpture of entertainer.

Those who buy Nepal Yaodao on chasing visitors, I only took one look, they gamble, "RMB 400," they would say, look, I don't mind that your price is RMB 150, finally, watch the exquisite yaodao, I kind of love, but there is no change for $ 150, so I didn't buy it.

But they always chasing you, also not escape, I say no change, they should speak more dollars, I gave 100 RMB, give $ 5 to buy not sell fine, he said 7 dollars. I reckon not $ 150? Later, my friend N 100 Yuan to buy a put, are proud of the values than I buy, to the left, into a $ 50, and I regret it, you can buy 3 to 150, that is way down the line, not to say.

Nepal's State religion is Hindu, 70% of Hinduism, and 25% of the people to Buddhism.

While we have been thinking that Buddhism is the birthplace of Nepal, is the State religion of Buddhism is only on, the guide said everyone a bit surprised.

Walk into the Plaza, enter your sight, of course, those with Hindu style pagoda, generally have many layers, we see the highest five-layer represents 5 territories, like heaven, Earth and man, the pagoda style and Buddhism is a little different, built on top of the bench, bench side stood people, horses, and other various gods, you must look up to them and let people feel the fear.

The entire building is mainly soil red hue, and its intensity is also amazing.

The tour went out of his belt we looked at the Golden Gate and 55 window Palace, but its fine bronze and wood carving art is famous, is a rare art treasures.

Golden Gate, as its name suggests is a magnificent doors should be gilded, among the many red building, especially striking. 55 window Palace built in the year 1700 years, walls in red brick, and embossed beautiful backgrounds and carving pattern, and another with 55 window balcony. Here is a very delicate carving, engraving patterns often Hindu worship of Lotus and various gods, the elephant God, monkey God have Cobra, the story of God we do not know, just like a lot of finely crafted. Hinduism is very strange, on the one hand, promote abstinence, ascetic and advocate of open, often on their temples carved sex scenes. In fact, this is humanity in order to multiply one way.

The tour takes us into the Golden Gate, it is a Palace, was said to be the place where King before, now it lives living Goddess, so do not let go.

Nepal's living Goddess is a little like Buddhism selected child. Child goddess as Hindu goddess difficult to close the incarnation of the mother. Visitors can only to be in the courtyard, jinqian, doors everywhere in camouflage uniforms of the soldiers, we only look at a distance, or to take pictures. Doors with a row of beautiful window and cornice pole, carved hard near mother kill niumo, longing. The temple is said to be virgins, carved flowers, first and second floor window cannot be opened. Top center there is a fan of vertical red curtain of gold window, set the child goddess within the room of the golden throne, its exquisite and gilded with the male lion throne as King. Back to peacocks, parrots and elephants and hunting, song and dance, the statue of Eros. The temple gate South Palace for 3 statue of Sakyamuni Buddha. Live sex goddess has residence building, teacher training, can also be selected Playmate into the temple,But she never left the temple. She daily in a specified time on the third floor window appeared to be looked for. The Buddhists to their happiness, anger, sorrow, joy, BU measuring Kat, fierce, sorrow, joy. Will the priesthood after menses.

New goddess traditionally from nivard family girl SA caste, selection procedures in the selection of strictly confidential, the candidate must be extremely healthy girls, never sick, bloodshed, no spots on the body, not the lack of any teeth.

Only with a 32 character of girls in order to enter the final contest. Such as the neck like a shell-like glow, as tall body like Linden, Eyelash eyelashes like cows, leg as sharp as the Hart, straight hair and black eyes must be polished, hands and feet must be tall.

Of course, to be jointly by Nepal living Goddess, must also have beyond the ordinary people of calm and fearless.

As a patron of the Kingdom of Nepal, her star sign must coincide with the King. Last name candidate girls found after the selection Committee also adopted a series of rigorous tests to selecting a superhuman ability and wisdom. Listen to the guide said, such as to put the 2, 3-year-old child in the dark room, do not cry. Sometimes took four or five years to elect. September child goddess Festival yamahoko procession live goddess took 3 days of the city; in the goddess Festival on the second day of the King personally went to Temple worship the goddess, the goddess wore red inlay jewelry goddess, sitting in a magnificent throne, her ranking hand Peacock Ling fan standing on either side. The king bowed to the goddess, a coin, will his forehead touching child goddess toes. Goddess in the Kings point red forehead, and give him wearing garlands for blessing. In Nepal, child goddess more than a bit, but there are 11, Kathmandu is 4 bits. In addition, bhadgaon 3 bit, Tan 2-bit, and Marty and de pago Tan one bit. But the recent child goddess in Kathmandu on the Royal Palace, the most respected. Because we do not allow pictures can only see the outside.

In the Palace the outer Court, there was a King of bathing pool with a snake's sprinkler pipe, in Nepal can always see a variety of engraving of the snake, Hinduism is the snake as gods.

In a small yard, we saw the most ancient big stupa, look after everyone for such exquisite sculpture and architecture.

Only a very narrow courtyard, it is difficult to find a suitable angle to it according to the full. According to the guide said that this is the best preserved the oldest Tower. You can see it here, in the engraving and meticulous have casually characterize Taqi. I don't know that hundreds of these precious artifacts are preserved.

In Nepal, walking in the street can see the small sacred pagoda.

This is a universal religion of the country.
