帽匠HatterWeiBefore coming to Bhutan, my impression of this small country in South Asia was that it was a mysterious Buddhist country, a country that used the National Happiness Index as a development goal, and the place where Tony Leung and Carina Lau held their wedding... But the first stop of my trip to Bhutan was a little unexpected. - P1: Simply Bhutan This was the first attraction I visited in Bhutan, the Folk Museum of Bhutan, which has rammed earth walls and folk song performances, exhibits Bhutan's traditional kitchen, and you can also experience Bhutan's national skill - archery, but the most impressive thing is a small courtyard, which is filled with the totem of Bhutanese fertility worship. The tour guide said: Don't be shy, this is our Bhutanese amulet, similar to blue eyes 🧿. In the following days, I repeatedly saw this symbol in the driver's car, on the exterior wall of the house, and in the souvenir shop. It is almost the national totem of Bhutan. - P2: Babesa Village Restaurant A restaurant in an old Bhutanese house, you need to climb a wooden ladder to go upstairs. I ate Bhutan's national dish Ema Datshi (cheese and peppers) here. - P3&4: Buddha Dordenma The 51.5-meter-high Sakyamuni statue is one of the tallest seated Buddhas in the world. - P5&6: Royal Takin Sanctuary The sanctuary is not large, but you can see the national animal of Bhutan, the Takin, up close. In Bhutanese legend, the Takin, like the 🍆 totem, also originated from the legendary figure "Drupak Gunle" in history. Legend has it that once he combined an antelope and a yak to create the Takin in order to show his miracle. - P7-10: Tashi Cho Dzong This is the center of Bhutan and the place where the King of Bhutan works. Unlike the flag-raising ceremony, tourists are always brought here to watch the flag-lowering ceremony (P8) at 17:00, because the Dzong will only be open to tourists after the flag-lowering ceremony. On the hillside northwest of the Dzong, you can take a bird's-eye view of the entire building. - P11&12: Dochula Chorten At the pass from Thimphu to the old capital Punakha, there are 108 pagodas, which were built to commemorate the fallen soldiers and are a must-see attraction. - During the Tsechu Festival in Paro this year, I traveled in Bhutan for 4 days and met the King of Bhutan at the Tsechu Festival. This is the first article of this travel diary. In the next article, I will go to the old capital of Bhutan, Punakha, where the temple of Drukpa Gunley, which left the fertility worship tradition for Bhutan, is located. - #Bhutan Travel #Niche Discovery Club #Overseas Niche Travel Recommendations #City Humanities Notes #Capture City Humanities
