The Ali region and Beijing have a difference of nearly 40 degrees in longitude and 15 degrees in one time zone, which is more than two and a half hours. Therefore, although it has been more than 8 o'clock to reach the site of the Guge Dynasty, in fact, the sun has just risen, and the gate of the Guge site has not yet opened. Compared to the setting sun, Chaoyang is also the best time to visit during the Raiders and locals. Tibet's scenic ticket office is mostly not like the city. There is a decent ticket window at the entrance of the park. It is basically the place where the ticket is checked on the way to the scenic spot. The Ali area is more succinct, just a simple plywood room. My partner and I have a student ID card, which can be half price. In order to save trouble, the staff who checked the ticket actually gave us a ticket directly - it is a total one, not one person! Also tell us that if someone checks the ticket, it is ok to show the student card of both of them. Just a few years ago, the site of the Guge Dynasty was still an extremely strange name, but with the discovery of the Tibetan cultural relics team here, the kingdom that has disappeared for nearly 400 years suddenly appeared in peoples field of vision. It has attracted people's attention. Guge ruins, it doesn't seem to be how tall you are when you don't come to him. But when you slowly approach him and step on his soil steps, in addition to being small, I am afraid there is no more appropriate adjective to express the scene at that moment. Behind the Guge dynasty is a mysterious and strange historical story. In short, it is because the ancient kingdom of Guge has caused internal struggles due to the existence of various religions, and colluded with the leaders of neighboring countries to break into the interior, surrounded the palace of the Guge dynasty, cut off the supply, and the king of Guge even failed to surrender. The Kingdom of Guge was destroyed. Guge Dynasty The whole castle is built on a loess slope of more than 300 meters high. The terrain is steep. The caves, stupas, towers, temples and palaces are arranged in an orderly manner. From the bottom up, the mountains are stacked and the atmosphere is magnificent. . These caves are mostly homes, densely populated on hillsides. Guge murals are the finest works here, including Buddhist stories, myths and legends, as well as the production and living scenes of the Guge people at that time. It is a pity that when we arrived, several major temples such as the Red Temple, the White Temple and the Reincarnation Temple were locked by chains and were not open. It is very regrettable.
