When traveling to a city, I usually book InterContinental or Shangri-La... Strangely, when Huazhu Lincang was pushed to me, I was instantly attracted by the rich colors of the architecture! It took four days from the decision to the departure. I knew almost nothing about Lhasa and Tibet, and I set off just based on my obsession to go to a clean place... I looked at the snow-capped mountains along the way for several days, and I never felt tired of them. Lhasa made me feel the pious atmosphere. The 300-year-old Lincang Hotel can be kept so well in the harsh environment of the plateau. The red door hits the inner aesthetic, it's so beautiful... And the owner's various stories about architecture, history, Jokhang Temple, and Bakuo Street made me respect Lhasa and Tibet... I know that the charm of this city is deeply hidden in its history and in the hearts of pilgrims who crawl on the ground and knock with one step. Jokhang Temple, Ramoche Temple, Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery, Ganden Monastery and countless other temples surround the Potala Palace like stars surrounding the moon; every brick and tile of the building has its own special meaning, and even the dazzling array of goods on both sides of Barkhor Street have their own stories; the old man with a vicissitudes of life on his face turning the prayer wheel by hand reveals his determination; the believers in Jokhang Temple are shoulder to shoulder, and you can feel that their every move comes from the depths of their souls. But deep in my heart, there is a trace of confusion and doubt, which makes me feel that I am out of place here.
If I go to Lhasa again, I think I should go again. I think I will stay in Lincang for a few more days to feel the history of each ancient thing...
