Chapter 423 Visiting the Potala Palace
There is a small inn courtyard full of ethnic style in Sa City. The number of rooms in the two-story building is just enough to accommodate Song Tang and his friends.
The convoy arrived here just as it was getting dark. The owner of the inn was a gentle woman named Zhuoma, just like the Gesar they met before.
After experiencing the ravages of an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, everyone's condition improved a lot after arriving at the city of Sa at an altitude of more than 3,600 meters. At least everyone still had some strength left when they parked the car, checked in, and packed their luggage.
According to the arrangement that Zheng Long had discussed with everyone before, the team will stay in Saskatchewan for three to five days. With sufficient time, everyone is more relaxed.
"Zhuoma, is dinner ready?"
After Song Tang cleaned up his room with Zhou Jing and the others, he walked to the kitchen in the courtyard and asked curiously.
Zhuoma, who was making butter tea in the kitchen, turned around and looked at Song Tang, who was like a greedy cat, and said with a smile: "It's almost done, don't worry."
Except for the butter tea that was being boiled, she had prepared everything else early in the morning.
When Zhuoma received the online order from Zhou Jing for the bag shop, she thought someone was playing a joke on her.
It was not until later, after repeated confirmation, that she was sure that the order was genuine. Knowing that Song Tang and his companions would arrive in Sa City this evening, Zhuoma had been preparing for the entire afternoon.
After hearing what Zhuoma said, Song Tang smiled and stood beside her to watch. Song Chuyi and Song Da Naotou who had been waiting here early were also there.
After arriving here, the two little guys simply familiarized themselves with the environment and then ran to the kitchen following the smell.
At first, the majestic big dog scared Zhuoma, but when she found out that it was the dog brought by Song Tang and her friends, she was no longer afraid. Generally speaking, such dogs will not attack people casually.
While Zhuoma was making butter tea, she also fed some of the dried beef and mutton that she had prepared in the kitchen to the cat and the dog, which caused the two greedy ghosts to squat in the kitchen and were unwilling to leave.
After a while, almost everyone had tidied their rooms and came to the yard to help the boss Zhuoma. The sumptuous Tibetan food made everyone a little greedy.
Soon, the large table prepared in the yard was filled with all kinds of delicious food. Even Zhuoma, who was planning to leave, was pulled back to the table by Song Tang and the others.
"After experiencing the beauty and hardships along the way, we finally arrived at the western pilgrimage site of Sa City. Let's celebrate with Zhuoma's barley wine and butter tea."
When Zheng Long saw that everyone was present, he picked up the fragrant barley wine in front of him, stood up and spoke to everyone. Everyone also joined in the fun and picked up the wine glasses or tea bowls in their hands.
Even Zhuoma, an outsider, was infected by everyone's enthusiasm. She picked up her tea bowl and said with a smile, "Be careful, everyone, it's hot. Don't drink butter tea in big gulps. This is just out of the pot."
But Zhuoma seemed to be a little late. Ding Wei, who was a little impatient, was burned and turned his head to be sprayed, which made everyone laugh.
"Zhuoma, this yogurt rice you made is really delicious. I think I can eat three bowls."
After seeing that Ding Wei was fine, everyone officially started their first meal after arriving in Sa City, and Song Tang was attracted by the Tibetan yogurt rice early on.
Zhuoma sat aside and looked at Song Tang and said with a smile: "Don't just eat yogurt rice, I prepared so many delicious foods today, try each one."
After saying that, Zhuoma put a piece of tsampa cake she made herself on the plate in front of Song Tang.
After dinner, everyone went to bed early. Even Song Chuyi and Song Da Naotou looked a little tired.
…
Living in the Potala Palace, I am the greatest king in the snowy land; wandering on the streets of Saskatchewan, I am the most beautiful lover in the world.
After getting up early the next morning, everyone tasted the sweet tea and Tibetan noodles that Zhuoma specially prepared for everyone. Then, under the leadership of Zhuoma, they went to the Potala Palace, a must-see in Tibetan province.
The majestic Potala Palace can be seen from afar. The huge palace complex stands on the top of the mountain, making people who see it for the first time sigh that it is really like a palace in heaven under the snow.
There were countless tourists checking in and taking photos in the square in front of the palace. Some young people even came up with a trick where they could take photos of the reflection of the Potala Palace in the water by pouring a small puddle of water on the ground.
Song Tang and her friends followed the example of many other tourists and took many photos with the Potala Palace in front of the square.
Because they were carrying a drone, Song Tang and his friends were pulled by Zhuoma to a small hill not far away. The drone moved from bottom to top and shot an interesting short video of the Potala Palace gradually appearing behind them.
To enter the Potala Palace, one needs to book tickets one week in advance, but Song Tang and her friends were delayed on the road and arrived a day late, so they can no longer enter.
Just when Zhuoma saw everyone's disappointed expressions and was about to think of a solution, she heard Song Tang on the side giving Zhou Jing a few instructions, and Zhou Jing nodded and made a phone call.
Everyone who knew about this understood that this was Song Tang using her money ability.
People who don't know, such as Zhuoma, are still a little confused and don't know why Song Tang asked everyone to wait at the gate of the Potala Palace.
As Zheng Long and the others expected, a man who looked like a leader ran out of the Potala Palace soon after. After enthusiastically confirming who Song Tang was, he personally took Song Tang and everyone into the Potala Palace.
This scene made some tourists who were also waiting outside confused, until someone recognized Song Tang and explained to everyone that it was Miss Black Card, some of them finally understood.
Since it’s Black Card Miss Song Tang, then there’s nothing to be confused about.
It was normal for Song Tang to be able to enter here even without an appointment. If he couldn't enter, that would be a problem.
Taking photos is not allowed inside the Potala Palace. Although many tourists were seen taking photos secretly, Song Tang still reminded Zhao Rui not to violate the rules, to respect customs and not to destroy national unity.
What Song Tang said to Zhao Rui made the leader who led them in and acted as their tour guide feel amazed.
When I received the notice, I thought she was some unruly young lady from a wealthy family, but now it seems that is not the case at all.
And according to his understanding, the other party had made an appointment at the beginning, but was delayed on the road and had to use some privileges. The staff at this time could understand such a situation.
Inside the entire Potala Palace, countless Buddha statues and decorations are magnificent and golden. After listening to the explanation of the staff who brought them in, everyone realized that all these golden things are real gold.
It is said that nearly 30 tons of gold were used to decorate the interior of the Potala Palace. I don’t know whether it is true or not.
But judging from what Song Tang and the others saw, there shouldn't be a small amount.
We walked around the Potala Palace and met many tourist groups led by other tour guides.
Every tour guide was surprised when they saw Song Tang and her friends.
Others may not be clear about this, but they themselves know very well that the person who brought Song Tang and the others is the immediate superior of these tour guides.
I don’t know what the relationships and backgrounds of these tourists are, yet they can be personally led and explained by their own boss.
Moreover, my leader seemed to be particularly kind, not as domineering as usual.
