A solo travel guide to Amritsar

A solo travel guide to Amritsar Amritsar, located in the northern part of India, is a border city with Pakistan, a desert city with faith, which subverts my imagination of Indian cities. Transportation guide, a person travels from Delhi, India to Amritsar by second-class train. It is recommended not to take the lowest class, as locals will grab seats. The second-class carriage costs less than 20 yuan. But buying tickets at the train station requires queuing, which is very inconvenient. Online purchase requires local phone card registration and local credit card payment. I bought it through an agent, 60 yuan, second class seat. The whole journey takes more than 5 hours. Accommodation, it is recommended for a person to choose a location in the center of Amritsar, otherwise it is not safe to walk in the alley at night. The cost starts at 100, and the environment is good. Attraction guide, the main attractions in Amritsar are the Golden Temple and the flag-lowering ceremony in the neighboring city of Wagah, India and Pakistan. The Golden Temple is the landmark building of Amritsar. It can be said that this temple formed this city. You need to cover your head to enter the Golden Temple, which is free inside and provides free meals all day, so you can experience it with the locals. In addition, the commercial street in the Golden Temple Square has a Middle Eastern style, very much like the ancient Persian style, with many ethnic costumes and food. Wagah is an hour's drive from Amritsar. You need to share a ride to the Golden Temple Square. The round trip costs 10 yuan. I shared a ride with the locals. The border flag-lowering ceremony between India and Pakistan is a carnival, with people from both countries dancing together. Then lower the national flag together, the performance ceremony is very strong. Free of charge.
