The Potala Palace is said to have been built by Songtsen Gampo to welcome Princess Wencheng, and it is the palace closest to the sky.
It means the place where Guanyin Bodhisattva resides, and is hailed as Guanyin Bodhisattva's second sacred site.
The Potala Palace is entirely constructed using mortise and tenon joints, without a single nail. It is supported by a forest and a mountain, making it one of the world's top ten civil engineering structures. The Potala Palace consists of three parts: the Red Palace, the White Palace, and the Snow City.
Photography, touching artifacts, and murals are prohibited inside the Potala Palace and other attractions in Snow City.
Lin Xun and his family of three arrived at the Potala Palace. They were dressed very simply, as a sign of respect for the culture.
"Legend has it that there is an underground palace beneath the Potala Palace, containing countless gold and silver treasures, as well as precious books. The underground palace leads to Shangri-La, which is the paradise in the hearts of the Tibetan people." Gu Yanyan exclaimed as she looked at the tall building.
Lin Batian raised an eyebrow. He didn't understand these cultural things; he was just a businessman. Besides, he had no interest in gold and silver treasures, having made so much money that he was practically numb with it.
Lin Xun looked at the magnificent red and white palace. Although he didn't know much about its history, he could still sense its greatness and antiquity through his senses.
The three of them didn't rush inside. Instead, they went to the huge lake below the palace. Lin Xun asked a passerby to help them take a few family photos, which counted as a successful check-in.
Eating, drinking, taking photos, and visiting attractions have become the norm for tourism.
After visiting for more than an hour, the family prepared to go home.
Lin Xun has gradually adapted to the high-altitude climate here, and at least he no longer feels dizzy all the time. However, he still dares not have any major emotional or physical fluctuations, for fear of accidentally messing things up.
He took pictures of many beautiful scenic spots, and selected a picture of the Potala Palace in its entirety to send to his senior.
Su Qingshi was already on her way. Looking at the photo, she replied: "It's a little different from the photo online."
Junior: That's normal, after all, the photos online are mainly for publicity.
Fairy Senior: How are you feeling?
Junior: I'm much better now.
The third day of the holiday, which was the second to last day of Lin Xun's planned stay here.
The holiday flew by, and Lin Xun spent time with his family visiting nearby attractions. It was a very relaxing experience.
In the evening, Lin Batian and Gu Yanyan, tired from shopping, rested at the hotel.
Looking at the sky outside the window, which was not yet completely dark, Lin Xun felt a sense of emptiness. So he changed his clothes and went out alone.
Walking in the square, Lin Xun looked at the palace shining in the night and silently took out a fifty-yuan note, the back of which featured the magnificent palace.
The fact that it was printed on this coin speaks volumes about its status.
The area was bustling with tourists on holiday.
"Young man, could you take a picture for us?"
Lin Xun felt a tap on his shoulder. He came to his senses and saw a woman who looked to be around forty years old looking at him with a questioning gaze.
Lin Xun didn't refuse and nodded: "Okay."
Lin took the phone from the other party and found an angle. The woman had come with her child and husband. The family of four was very harmonious. The children were all boys, the older one was about ten years old and the younger one was seven or eight years old. The father looked honest and kind, and you could tell at a glance that he was a remarkable father.
Lin Xun took several group photos for them before handing the phone to them.
"These photos are really good, thank you so much, young man." The woman stared at the photos on her phone, her eyes full of delight, her thumb and forefinger zooming in and out of the screen.
Lin Xun smiled and asked, "Is Auntie and her family here for a trip?"
The woman said with a smile, "Yes, I've wanted to come and visit for years, but I've been too busy to do so. So, during this holiday, my family and I came to visit."
Looking at the woman's sincere smile, Lin Xun was deeply moved.
He couldn't help but think that if his family were just an ordinary family, when would he be able to take his parents on a trip?
This is the life of ordinary people. Many people are busy making a living, and in life, many beautiful scenes are just fleeting glimpses. Time flies, and we can never go back to the past.
"Thank you, young man."
"It's nothing, you're too kind, Auntie."
After thanking Lin Xun, the family of four happily left.
Lin Xun watched their retreating figures, overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
A strange emotion was growing in his heart, but he didn't know what it was.
Suddenly, I miss my senior.
"Junior?"
Just then, a clear, cold voice came from behind.
Lin Xun's mind went blank for a moment. He couldn't believe his ears, because this voice was the one he had been longing for day and night for the past few days!
Even though it had only been a few days, he was obsessed with missing his senior so much that he was going crazy.
He slowly turned around and finally saw the person who had spoken.
Su Qingshi, wearing a mask, a loose-fitting hoodie, and loose trousers, stood a few meters away from Lin Xun, holding a white camera in her hand.
"No way, it must be a hallucination because I miss my senior too much?" Lin Xun muttered to himself.
Why is my senior here? Wasn't her second stop Mount Everest?
Even though Su Qingshi's stunningly beautiful face was hidden behind a mask, and only her cool and indifferent eyes were visible, Lin Xun recognized her at first glance.
"Senior? What are you doing here?"
Lin Xun walked up to her, his height of ten centimeters greater, and looked down at the girl.
Upon seeing his senior, Lin Xun immediately felt the emptiness in his heart filled, and the emotions he had just felt transformed into contentment.
Not only him, but Su Qingshi also had the same feeling. When she first arrived here, after putting her luggage in the hotel, she didn't rest and came out directly. It was as if something was guiding her to come here.
When she met her junior, she found that the fatigue from her long journey suddenly disappeared, and she felt much more relaxed.
Gazing quietly at her junior, Su Qingshi spoke softly, "I heard the scenery here is beautiful, so I wanted to come and see for myself."
The scenery here is beautiful, and with you here, it seems even more enchanting.
Lin Xun smiled, a silly grin on his face, and scratched his head: "I was also thinking of going to Mount Everest tomorrow."
He also wanted to go to the place his senior wanted to go, and then meet her in the bustling crowd.
Su Qingshi's eyes flickered.
It seems that they both had the same idea, but she took the first step.
