Last year I visited - Phewa Lake in Pokhara, Nepal, is a breathtaking destination that perfectly blends natural beauty and tranquility. Its crystal-clear waters reflect the stunning landscape. Boating on the lake, especially at sunrise or sunset, is a mesmerizing experience. The Tal Barahi Temple, located on an island in the lake, adds a spiritual charm. Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, Phewa Lake is a must-visit spot for nature lovers and photographers

It is 38 meters high and 100 meters in diameter. It is said to have been built by King Shiva Deva of the Lichavi Dynasty in the 6th century BC. It is a cultural relic of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal and an important spiritual totem of Mahayana Buddhists. It is said that there are relics of Kasyapa Buddha in the stupa, which is an important spiritual totem in Mahayana Buddhism. Because the top of the stupa is painted with wisdom eyes, it is also called the Big Eyes Stupa. It is also said that when the stupa was built, it was a drought, and the craftsmen took dewdrops and mud, so it is also called the Dewdrop Stupa. During the worship season, Buddhists from Bhutan, Sikkim, and Tibet in my country will gather here to worship, so Chinese signs are often seen. The scenic area is divided into three major parts: the stupa, the Padmasambhava Temple, and the shop area. It is a good place for sightseeing photography, humanities learning, worshiping Buddha, shopping, and parent-child strolls. When praying around the pagoda, you need to go around it three times in a clockwise direction. ①Address: Circle Kathmandu, Kathmandu, Nepal ②Transportation: Direct bus access, difficult to park by car ③Peak season: None ④Time: 2 hours ⑤Ticket price: 400 rupees (22.2 yuan) 2.

You can also walk around the tower on this floor, and enjoy the street view under the tower ③ The third and fourth floors of the tower base: It is forbidden to go up, and these two floors are blank and have no scenery ④ The four corners of the tower courtyard: Because the tower courtyard wall is circular and the tower base is similar to a cross (12 corners), there are four open spaces in the first floor of the tower base, which are respectively equipped with a painting pool (a pool for painting the white tower body with paint, and a small statue stands on the wellhead next to it), green plants (2 places, the edge of the green plants in one place is surrounded by dense stainless steel small bowls, each bowl contains 2 flowers, orange and yellow; the other place has a small Buddha statue under the green plants), and a small tower ⑤ The first floor of the tower body: The semi-circular tower base represents water, and it is also said to be the womb that creates life.

The giant stupa is the core building of the temple. It is mainly white and more than 40 meters high. Its shape is very similar to the Boudhanath Stupa. It has five floors, specifically: ①The first floor of the tower: a semi-circular structure tower base, representing water, and also said to be the womb of life creation, with golden niches embedded on all four sides, and the five Tathagatas are enshrined inside.

The platform where the giant stupa is located is also the core area of ​​the scenic area. There are many people and dense landscapes around the stupa. The ones that impressed me the most are: ① Stone pagoda matrix: neatly arranged small towers (cover photo), which contain relics such as relics and clothes left after the death of eminent monks of all generations ② Hindu goddess temple: two-story eaves Buddha niche, the only temple in the world where Buddhist and Hindu buildings coexist. There is a row of Hindu believers sitting on the ground eating hand-held rice in the doorless house next to the temple, which is very exotic ③ Small temples: none of them have names, and are named according to their characteristics. There is a single-story reclining Buddha temple (the main enshrines a reclining Buddha, and there are stone artifacts in the glass showcases around it)...

Lumbini is a remarkable destination that offers a deep connection to history and spirituality. As the birthplace of Lord Buddha, the peaceful surroundings, ancient ruins, and the Maya Devi Temple create a sense of tranquility that is hard to match. The gardens are beautifully maintained, perfect for reflection and meditation. Walking through the sacred grounds, you can almost feel the wisdom and serenity in the air. While the area is spiritually enriching, more modern amenities.

有高反可能，但基本能控制，起初要放慢速度，让自己慢慢适应，别人走三小时，自己走四小时五小时就行，时间足够宽裕。景色绝对没得说，震撼，心灵的洗礼。想想世界各国的人趋之若鹜，不是没有道理的。走在5000多海拔，听着自己一口口呼气的声音，看着眼前有压迫感的雪山，任何烦恼都会烟消云散，能够感知人的渺小，增添一些平和淡定，以及对当下的珍惜
