Tibet

Beyond Lhasa

大昭寺

哲蚌寺

Streets

 

 
布達拉宮是西藏的代表,我忙不迭的去見它。
Potala is the heart of Tibet.  It was the first stop I made from the airport.



宮前寬大的廣場,幾乎可與天安門相比。宮墻前面鋪着綠油油的草坪。
The huge square of Potala Palace is comparable to Tiananmen Square in feeling.

宮殿廣場的正對面是 “西藏和平解放紀念碑“
Opposite the Palace Square is a monument honoring the "Liberation of Tibet"

    
 

宮殿正門草坪的外面是人行道,人行道過去是車行道,車行道過去才是廣場。
Beyond the lawn of the front gates is the walkway.  Beyond the walkway is the road for cars.
And finally, beyond the driving road is the Palace Square.

布達拉宮的后花園,我去參觀的時候正在大興土木,工人說是為了即將來到的黃金周而趕建。因爲十月以後,青藏鐵路將延長到上海和廣州,使拉薩的拜訪率再創高峰。

When I visited the back gardens of Potala Palace, I saw manic renovations and development.  The construction workers said they were rushing to meet the deadline of October 1st, the "Golden Week", a week-long national holiday for China.   After October this year, the QingZang Railway will extend to Shanghai and Guangzhou, which will make tourism reach a new peak.

     把它建成歐式花園?

 
還是江南水鄉?

    

BACK China
