Patan Durbar Square

Although Durbar Square in Patan is not as big as the squares in Kathmandu and Badgang, the old buildings are more dense and concentrated, and its architectural art is also very superb and exquisite. It occupies a place in the history of world architecture and is called "open-air museum". There is a market selling souvenirs and local specialties near the square, so you can visit and play together. Unfortunately, on April 25, 2015, a magnitude 8.1 earthquake occurred in Nepal, and most of the buildings in Patan Durbar Square were damaged. Among them, the Khalisanka Temple and the Charnarayan Temple completely collapsed, and the Yuganalandra ·The top statue of Mara King Pillar was dropped and damaged.

If you look for a good angle, there are still many places where you can take good photos, mostly red brick buildings. The earthquake loss in Nepal that year was really heavy. Many buildings were damaged, but the tickets were increased. .

The Pigeon Square is surrounded by temples with big eyes. There are tens of thousands of pigeons. Here, the pigeon is the absolute master. The colorful flags are almost the same as the ones in Tibet. We can't see the difference. I don't know when it started, the colorful flags have become a standard religious symbol. Dogs on the roof is here. We saw a scene where the domestic dogs barked and wandered on the roof. No dog was led and bent on the road. This is a major feature. The world is so amazing!

1. Transportation strategy: There are two stations near the "Ratna Park" station in Kathmandu where you can take a minibus to Patan (NAC Bus Stop and Ratna Park Micro Bus Stop); 2. Patan Durbar Square is not very damaged by the earthquake Seriously, the most amazing "Nuvari-style buildings" are still well preserved, so there are a large number of tourists visiting, and the 1000 rupees tickets are also very strict; 3. The Royal Palace located in the center is also the Patan Museum. It is the focus of the visit, but if you are not particularly interested in Nepal’s emperor history or ancient architecture (especially for friends who travel poorly), you don’t need to enter the palace and just take pictures outside.

Durbar Square in Patan is the most exquisite square I have seen in Nepal. On one side of the square, the Patan Museum and the palace courtyard stand side by side. The eight buildings on the square are lined up one after the other, like a palace of the gods.
