In memory of French King Ruyibao

It's been nearly a week since I returned to Beijing from Seda, but my heart is still inseparable from the holy plateau: the snow-capped mountains glow with golden light in the morning, the prayer flags hanging on the red house are fluttering in the wind all over the mountain, and the Tibetan grandmother is swinging the prayer flags around the altar city. Memories about Seda are reflected in my mind, which makes me miss the simple and happy 65438+ in Seda.

When I started this journey, I didn't come here to make a pilgrimage, let alone seek comfort because of the disappointment of life. Perhaps, like most tourists, I am attracted by its prestigious red house. Depart from Chengdu Chadianzi Bus Terminal at 6:40 am on May 30th, bump on the road around the mountain 12 hour, and arrive at Seda at 7:00 pm. As soon as I got off the bus, the low temperature and lack of oxygen in the plateau challenged me. My sister and I dragged our heavy suitcases from the bus parking lot to the parking lot of Lalong Wuming Buddhist College.

? Seda's friends drove our group from the parking lot at the entrance of the mountain to the comprehensive building of the Buddhist College, where we lived. Accommodation in the complex, one person (6 people) in 70 yuan every night, needs to be booked in advance. There is a hot and sour powder sales window (7 yuan a bowl) outside the first floor of the comprehensive building, which I personally think is particularly delicious. There are long queues waiting to eat a bowl of hot and sour powder every day. There is a restaurant on the second floor of the complex building, with breakfast buffet for one person in 6 yuan and Chinese food for one person 12 yuan. The price is reasonable and the dishes are rich.

I thought the price would be very high in such a remote place as Seda (materials need to be shipped from Chengdu), so I made preparations before going up the mountain. In fact, the price of Seda is not only similar to that outside, but even a little cheaper than outside. Everything you need in your daily life, such as clothes, daily necessities, vegetables and fruits, can be bought here. This is because the shops in Wuming Buddhist College in Larong are generally managed by temples, so there is generally no phenomenon of bullying customers at high prices. The largest Jinsa shop in the Buddhist College (commonly known as Handian, the business hours are generally 9: 00- 15: 00), and its meager income is used to subsidize the life of monks who become monks here. Laron Hotel can be said to be the most luxurious hotel in Seda. There is a vegetarian buffet on the first floor (ordinary buffet in 49 yuan and buffet hot pot in 59 yuan). The food is quite rich and delicious, which is much more affordable than eating buffet outside.

There are many shops and restaurants in the Buddhist College that are not managed by the College. Maocai and hot noodle soup in some small restaurants are also delicious and the prices are reasonable. Generally, more than ten yuan can solve a meal, and almost all of them are vegetarian. There are some privately-run hotels in the Buddhist College, and the specific prices and environment have not been investigated. Maybe some people who come here will choose to live in sertar county (sertar county is about half an hour away from the Buddhist College). If you are attracted by Buddhist colleges, it is recommended to live in Buddhist colleges, but the sanitary conditions are still limited. Bedsheets and quilts may not be as clean as some hotels outside, and it is not very convenient to take a shower (it is recommended not to take a shower when you first go to the plateau, and the consequences of altitude sickness are still very serious).

It rained that night in Seda, and Seda is in the rainy season recently. The temperature will be below zero at night and less than 10 during the day, so I always wear a jacket and velvet warm pants. Sunny days will be very strong, so it is necessary to do a good job of sun protection. For two days, it snowed in Seda, which is not as light and thin as the snowflakes in the plain area. Here, there are crystal ice particles. Seda, which has snowed, is covered with pure white, and the red house under the snow is more beautiful.

? There is only one ATM in the Buddhist College, so you need to queue up every time you withdraw money. If you go too early or too late, you may not get the money. Fortunately, Alipay and WeChat are now popular, and they can be used for settlement when they are generally consumed.

? Generally, visitors to the Buddhist College can not only enjoy the red houses on the mountains along the way, but also visit Tancheng (Tancheng is the most important building of the College, so if you choose to visit, please respect the local religious customs and comply with the requirements of the visit), where you can have a panoramic view of the College. In addition, you can also visit the memorial hall of the French king Ruyibao Jinmei Pengcuo, where the articles used by the French king and the wax figures of the French king are displayed.

Postscript: This part briefly introduces the basic situation of sertar county Larong Wuming Buddhist College, which can be regarded as a small guiding post. Next time, I want to write some thoughts on my trip.
