It has successively won the honorary titles of: the favorite tourist city of tourists, the charming city with China characteristics, and the safest city in China. Being able to come to Lhasa is one of the dreams of many donkey friends. The unknown and mysterious here attracts tourists from all over the world. Today, Raiders Jun summed up some reasons why Lhasa attracts everyone.
Sweet tea in Lhasa
Most people who come to Tibet are not used to butter tea, but they like to drink sweet tea in Lhasa, which is very famous in Tibet. Its main raw materials are black tea and full-fat sweet cow milk powder. In Lhasa, the sweet teahouse is a place for people to relax and a popular social place.
Making sweet tea houses is a favorite of Lhasa people. Since sweet tea is just milk tea, the significance of making sweet tea houses is certainly not tea. Here, talking is not criticized, whispering is unpopular, and silence is the only sin. Needless to say, friends and relatives will soon be able to chat happily even if strangers sit together. In the cup of sweet tea, the most idle time in Lhasa is reflected. Not only the ordinary citizens in Lhasa, but also some lamas from nearby temples come to the sweet teahouse for a while after reading the classics.
Slow life in Lhasa
Do you want to go to a quiet place to vent yourself after working all day? Then come to Lhasa. This is a gathering place for devout believers. For a long time, countless believers and thousands of long heads have bumped into it. In recent years, many friends have traveled here by hiking, cycling and hitchhiking, which is also a rapidly developing city. If your imagination of Lhasa is an original ecological world, then it may give you different expectations. There are also high-rise business districts and dazzling streets here. Hotels, banks and shopping malls are all available.
The most important thing to experience in Lhasa is slow life. Here, you will unconsciously slow down your pace and pace, follow the local Tibetans on the roundabout of Barkhor Street at will, and make some good wishes and wishes. Sit down and have a cup of sweet tea, bask in the sun in front of Jokhang Temple, and talk about a few friends who will become "like-minded" for life.
Food in Lhasa
Tibetan food has a long history and is very distinctive. There are many ways to cook and set food at Tibetan banquets. The oldest method is to decide to take the form of in-tray meal, hand-delivered meal, napkin meal or buffet meal according to the social status of the guests. Tibetan food is also divided into vegetarian and meat banquets. Now Tibetan food is like Chinese food, with hot dishes, cold dishes, soup, staple food and dessert snacks. Tibetan food is generally divided into three categories: staple food, dishes and soup, and the taste is light and peaceful.
Beef and mutton are important raw materials in Tibetan cuisine. The beef in Tibetan food is mainly plateau yak meat, while mutton is mostly sheep meat. Yak meat is bright red, tender, delicious, low in fat and high in protein. People often say air-dried meat refers to air-dried beef and mutton. With the development of the times, the improvement of living standards and the changing needs of people's tastes, there are more and more kinds of air-dried meat, and various seasonings will be put in the production. In addition to home-made, many food companies have also made air-dried meat with different tastes.
Ciba is the staple food of Tibetans, and its raw material is flour ground after parching highland barley or peas. Ciba is rich in nutrition, delicious and hunger-resistant, convenient to carry and easy to store.
ghee is extracted from milk. Pour the milk into a mixing barrel or special pottery, and stir it up and down or left and right for hundreds of times to separate the oil from the water. The yellowish fat floating on it is ghee. Then wrap it in a leather bag for home use or sale.
The food in Lhasa is simple, but once you eat it, you will never leave.
The slow life in Lhasa is almost everyone's dream. Without the intrigue in the workplace and the fast pace of life in big cities, everything has slowed down. I believe that after you have been to Lhasa, you will love it here.
