City Palace
#travellerswonderland
Udaipur is a famous tourist city. There are four color-themed cities in India. Udaipur is the white-themed city - the white city.
Udaipur is rich in tourism resources, and City Palace is a castle by the lake.
A ticket is required to visit, which is about 600 rupees. The palace is still very beautiful, and there are also many small museums with collections of various Indian characteristics, which are indeed very novel.
The palace is very big. It takes almost two hours to visit. You can overlook the lake from the palace, which is a beautiful scenery.

India's Enchanting City of Lakes
Udaipur, often referred to as the "Venice of the East," is nestled in the hills of India's Rajasthan state. Famous for its elaborate palaces, tranquil lakes, and vibrant culture, Udaipur is a testament to the grandeur of the Rajput kingdoms that historically ruled the region.
What to Expect
The city's charm is centered around the serene Lake Pichola, with the majestic City Palace stretching along its eastern shore. The palace complex, built over several centuries, is a fusion of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles and offers a panoramic view of the lake and its surroundings. Other notable attractions include the Jagdish Temple, Saheliyon ki Bari (Garden of the Maidens), and the picturesque Lake Palace that appears to float on the lake's surface.
Experiences and Recommendations
A boat ride on Lake Pichola provides a splendid view of the city's palaces and havelis, set against the backdrop of distant hills. A visit to the City Palace Museum offers insights into the history and culture of Rajasthan, showcasing royal artifacts, traditional attire, and intricate miniature paintings. For a touch of local life, explore the bustling bazaars of Udaipur where you can find handcrafted goods, including jewelry, pottery, and colorful Rajasthani textiles.

The “white city” or #Rajasthan is none other than the chill city of #Udaipur. Also known as the City of Lakes, it has 6 of them complete with “island” temples and palaces, or the City of Dawn, this city was founded in 1559 AD. #WinterGetaway

The most festive festival in South Asia, the whole city is burning and smashing! Both men, women and children are carnival
Holi Festival is a happy moment for Indians. I have read a sentence, "Let the shy people be bold, let the despicable people look up, let the jealous people brave, let the melancholy people happy." It is not exaggerating to say that it is also the most passionate and vitality festival.
If you want to integrate zero distance into the Holi Festival, be sure to bring your own paint. A hundred years ago, this powder was called "Gulan" and was made from flowers collected on trees. Most of them were dark red or warm orange, also called "forest flame."
Because I was carrying the camera and worried that it was splashed with powder, I wrapped it in thick plastic wrap. Later, it was found to be useless... everyone released themselves, the children hid on the top of the building, and the adults went to the temple to fight.

Udaipur is the most romantic city in Rajasthan, India. It is built on the beautiful Pichola Lake and is known as the Venice of the East.
White in India symbolizes purity, innocence and sacredness, which is also a city of honeymoon.
The city palace is full of golden walls, snow-white buildings, marble palaces, and exquisite murals are breathtaking, but unfortunately the traffic is too large.
Into the online restaurant in Linhu, I feel that I can stay here for a whole day. Baicheng is my favorite city.

I am in India this spring, a journey through time and space ~
Udaipur is the least like India: clean, fresh, even the locals and local stray dogs, are particularly gentle. Because of this, it made me want to just stare at the lake in a restaurant along the river.
This is also the most romantic place in India: it doesn't seem to leave a strange and sly appearance in the stereotype, under the harmony of the main colors of the city dominated by white and honey, relying on the lake And the lake, the lake is clear, the Udaipur is like a woman who dresses the mirror, showing the sweetness and tenderness~
What to say, that is to buy clothes must be bought in Udaipur, Leave a day to buy. A variety of beautiful Indian shoes, satchels, scarves. The charming composition constitutes the most memorable memory of Udaipur. Then take a photo of the city palace on the shores of the beautiful Lake Pichola. Different from the castles of other cities, the city palace echoes the extraordinary temperament of Udaipur, clean and beautiful. Anywhere to stop is the best choice for filming, clever use of corridors, windows, stone pillars as the foreground or background, with ample sunshine as the most beautiful filter, easy to get rich and large picture Hahahaha~

The water palace on Pichula Lake is a symbol of Udaipur. Built in 1746, this water palace was built entirely of white marble, and was originally the royal summer palace of Jag Singh, the son of Udaisinger. There are statues of horses wearing false elephant trunks in the palace. The carving technique is exquisite and the image is vivid. People can't help but want to touch it. There are also bright and detailed murals on the palace walls, all of which are rich in religious color. The figures of the characters and horses in the paintings, as well as the ornaments worn by the people and the horses, are vivid, and people call this fine murals "the paintings of music."

The City Palace is the largest palace in Rajasthan and the most famous attraction in the White City. Located on the high side of the shores of Lake Pichola, the exterior is full of gas and the interior is extremely luxurious.
The entire city palace has only one gate, along the slope, the staff's dress and the palace temperament are very good. The square in front of the museum is like a small garden with a fountain, a tourist souvenir shop and a side wall overlooking the panoramic view of Udaipur. The
palace has been expanded by several generations of princes. It is divided into three parts. Our main visit is the palace museum in the palace, the other part is a luxury hotel, and the other is the residence of the current prince and royal descendants.
The whole tour is like a fantastic adventure, constantly moving through the labyrinth of small corridors. The beauty of the building is amazing. It is easy to get out of the film. It is necessary to wait. Because there are many tourists, the locals There are also many.
Tickets 300 rupees per person, if you are going to the pier to take a boat trip to Lake Pichola, the ticket is 800 rupees per person

The national performances of the Udaipur City Museum must not be missed. Every night at 7:00, the most distinctive dances in Rajasthan are gathered here; the Indian aunt barefoot from the top of a large jug to the eleven cans Dancing moments to kill our masters of rivers and lakes selling chest and broken stone, if this aunt can count the goddess?

The city palace of Udaipur is the largest in Rajasthan, and it can be seen that the strength of the Mewar country was unmatched in the vicinity. Now the descendants of the royal family still live on the south side of the palace, while the rest have been transformed into museums and luxury hotels.
The palace gate is decorated with gorgeous guards, demonstrating the full imperial imperialism and prestige. The city palace of Udaipur is one of my favorite city palaces in India. It is not only rich in exhibits, but also beautiful, palaces, cloisters and courtyards, all worthy of savoring.
