Air Bhutan is full of expectations and imaginations for its destinations
It was also my first time to fly Royal Bhutan Airlines, and the faces of the flight attendants in the cabin of the plane were the greatest satisfaction during the long flight, the men's complexion was healthy, the contours were three-dimensional, the facial features were handsome, and the women's black hair was tall, with curved eyebrows and teeth, and their demeanor was slightly fat, and they were very beautiful in the style of the plateau.

When the eye can't help but be attracted, there is a great need for a zoom camera that shoots silently, so that you can not only enjoy the details of the lens, but also secretly do it without being noticed. Hey,Helplessly, the hardware conditions are not satisfied,I can only mute the mobile phone and wait for the opportunity,As a result, the candid shooting technology is not skilled enough,Both faces did not appear in the picture completely,After entering the country,I didn't see the handsome guys and beauties of the flight attendant level in the cabin,I even imagined that maybe it was a noble family of the royal relatives,Otherwise, how could there be such a good physical appearance gene。
Bhutan Paro Airport
Royal Bhutan Airlines' plane landed smoothly at Paro Airport, as tourists slowly walked out of the cabin, the clear air of the Bhutan highlands was refreshing, with full of expectations and the joy of arriving in a foreign place, all the way out of Bhutan Airport at a relaxed pace, smoothly docking with the tour guide, the tour guide and the driver, the name is called "Tsering", the smile is the same friendly and cordial!

After listening to the brief self-introduction of the tour guide Tsering, I got in the car with my friends and started the long-missed trip to Bhutan, Bhutan in the winter of January, the color of the view will not be monotonous at all, the clouds are low and the sky is blue, the scenery is quiet all the way, occasionally three or two Bhutanese people stroll by with baskets on their backs, the cypress trees in the distance are lush, slender and strong, move to change the scenery, this new and never-before-seen world, let me see a little dizzying, in it and imitate the dream.
Bhutanese monkeys
With the entry camera, the monkeys on the stone piers on the roadside are leisurely and free, in different shapes, do not hide when they see the car, do not walk when they see people, take pictures or stop to watch, and the monkeys are free to watch the visitors.
初识不丹首都廷布Thimphu
After driving out of the airport 1 hour later, we arrived at Thimphu (2,320 meters above sea level), the capital of Bhutan, and just arrived in the center of Thimphu, and saw that most of the shops in the market were closed for rest, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart! , Because he is not familiar with Tsering, his Chinese is also blunt and far-fetched, and there are still some ambiguities of mutual understanding in occasional exchanges, so he will focus on the stomach first, and keep his mouth shut for the time being.

I focused on the food rations in the restaurant and the table where I solved the lunch, and I heard a little about Bhutan's "national dish" when I was preparing for class before going out: cheese chili peppers, cheese fried vegetables, after two days of tossing and turning, I was already hungry, and the first lunch tasted delicious, salty and suitable, full of water and food, and satisfied!

The first place to visit in Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan: Tashi Chodzong
Wandering around the magnificent and peaceful Tashi Chodzong Fort, no one will disturb you, the heart is very quiet and comfortable, the quiet courtyard, the magnificent buildings, the crows and pigeons in the sky spread their wings and fly by, a huge Utse (central tower) separates the northern monastery square and the Sarparakang (new temple) from the secular administrative compound in the south, listening half-heartedly to the explanation of the guide Tsering, because the eyes and heart are now surrounded by the solemnity of this place, Sheng Da was shocked, looking greedily at every corner, stepping on the blue brick road under his feet, and really feeling that he was walking into Bhutan. When it was close to sunset, the light was so close, and it passed diagonally through the top of the sect, looking at it, warmed by the winter sun, and the mood of wandering was gentle, quiet and relaxed.

The second place to visit in Bhutan's capital, Thimphu: the National Monument
The National Monument of Bhutan, built in 1974 in accordance with the vision of the third king of Bhutan, is intended to pray for world peace and prosperity, but also deeply remember the late King of Bhutan, who was loved by the people. For many Bhutanese people, this is the place of worship, walking around the pagoda chanting, turning the giant red prayer cylinder, and then going to the shrine inside the pagoda to reduce their karma and accumulate good fortune.

The ancient Gangti Monastery is more quaint, bleak and magnificent, and I heard the tour guide say that this is the only Nyingmapa Red Sect dojo in the Black Mountain Mountains. The lamas are heavily guarded, with a sprawling complex of central monasteries, monastic houses, a small guest house and a meditation center on the north side of the monastery on the hill, while the nearby village is inhabited mainly by secular lamas who tend to the monastery, the 450-year-old Buddhist monastery is built in the Tibetan style.

I don't remember what the reason is, my friends and I did not enter the Dharma Hall to visit the interior, for the introduction of the temple, only after returning home to check the relevant information, I know that Tshokhang (Tshokhang, Dharma Hall) has eight pillars, one of the largest Buddhist halls in Bhutan, the inner altar has the temple founder Tenzin Lepe Ascending Pagoda, the historic Gangti Temple is famous for its exquisite wood carvings, and the paintings outside the temple have the horse-headed Hayagrive protector deity, the six realms of reincarnation, Guru Padmasambhava's guardian mountain god and the beauty of Shambhala.
