There are always some scenic spots that are well-known and have been yearning for for a long time. It seems a pity not to go there once in life, but when you are truly in the field from afar, it is regrettable.
1. Potala Palace: All four things are empty
Introduction to attractions: The Potala Palace is located in Lhasa, Xizang, for a long time. It is built on the mountains and has a majestic appearance. It is not only the peak masterpiece of Tibetan architectural skills, but also the highest palace-style building complex in the world. According to outside rumors, there are countless jade treasures such as gold, murals, ritual implements, diamonds, jade, relics, etc.
Playing guide: Tickets for the Potala Palace in the peak season (April to October) are 200 yuan, and in the off-season (November to March) are free. Tickets need to be booked online before going, and an extremely strict security inspection process is required when entering the park. Lighter and water are not allowed, and photos are not allowed after entering the park.
Real experience: "The Potala Palace was empty. I spent 200 yuan to see it." For ordinary tourists, the Potala Palace is really a cultural attraction that is highly inaccessible. For ordinary tourists, the cultural relics and Buddha statues inside the Potala Palace are simply "incomprehensible". During the entire visit, I was pushed forward by a large group of tourists and climbed the mountain. Finally, I finished the visit. I breathed a sigh of relief and thought that I could finally go out and find a place to rest.
Interpretation of attractions: Visiting the Potala Palace requires a deep contact with the culture and history of Tibetan Buddhism. Without this foundation, visiting the interior of the Potala Palace is like an illiterate going to the most extensive library in the world to read books. Every time I travel to Xizang, I do not enter the Potala Palace now, but observe its appearance in the Potala Palace Square. A layman like me with low cultural literacy cannot understand the historical relics inside the Potala Palace and can only sigh and be fascinated by its sacred and magnificent appearance.
2. The Great Wall: You are not a hero who has not reached the Great Wall, but a pity who has arrived at the Great Wall
Attractions Introduction: The Great Wall was the first military defense project in ancient times and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. From Hebei to Xinjiang, it spans 15 provinces and regions, with a total length of 21,000 kilometers, equivalent to the length of 10 318 Sichuan-Tibet lines.
Playing guide: Tickets for the Great Wall during the peak season (April to October) are 40 yuan, and for the off-season (November to March) are 35 yuan. They are mainly divided into hiking and sightseeing.
Real experience: "You are not a hero who has not reached the Great Wall, but a pity to have arrived at the Great Wall." The scenery I saw from the moment I climbed the Great Wall started, and the next scenery was the same. Traffic jams, large numbers of people, strong ultraviolet rays, and blind scenery have caused people to regret the Great Wall.
Interpretation of attractions: Climbing the Great Wall itself is a tiring process. In addition, the Great Wall is usually crowded with people, and there is no place to escape the sun under the scorching sun in summer. It is really difficult to experience the fun of playing "One of the Seven Wonders of the World". But when you come to Beijing, don't you even visit the Great Wall?
3. Daocheng Yading: Don't regret it, you'll regret it even more if you go
Attraction description: Daocheng Yading is located in Daocheng County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan, next door to Ding Zhen's hometown. (Ding Zhen's hometown is located in Litang County, and Litang County is adjacent to Daocheng County. Chengdu will pass through Litang when going to Daocheng.) Daocheng Aden has a series of reverie titles: "The last pure land on the blue water planet","The Last Shangri-La","The Soul of Shangri-La"...
Playing guide: Tickets for Daocheng Aden Scenic Area are 150 yuan, and sightseeing bus tickets are 120 yuan. Plus 80 yuan for battery cars in the scenic area, the actual ticket totals 350 yuan. Daocheng Aden is about 800 kilometers away from Chengdu and it takes about 2 days to drive by car.
Real experience: "If you don't regret it, you will regret it even more." Climbing mountains for 7 hours at an altitude of 4700 meters is really difficult. There are few public toilets in the scenic area and there are no plateau hypoxia rescue stations. Although the scenery really looks like the "last piece of pure land", it is far from the photographic photos obtained online. If you encounter rainy days, the scenery you see is even more complicated: gray, with a mess of pigment and light.
Interpretation of attractions: There are three snow-capped mountains and three seas in Aden, Daocheng, as well as primitive natural features such as plateau meadows and river valley streams. The surrounding scenery is spruce and green, and the water color is clear and ready to flow. However, the playing process is a test for tourists 'physical strength. "The eyes are in heaven, the body is in hell", telling the bitterness of playing in Aden, Daocheng.
There are many scenic spots across the country such as the Potala Palace, the Great Wall, and Daocheng Aden that "don't regret, go to regret", such as West Lake, Yangshuo, Fenghuang Ancient City, Zhangjiajie and other places.
It may be that they had too much expectations in the hearts of tourists, but when they actually arrived on the field, they discovered the holy land in their hearts due to the large number of people and the hard work of playing, which was far from what they imagined. What you thought was a comfortable vacation turned out to be a self-abuse process of spending money to find trouble. Have you ever encountered such an experience?
