Return to Lhasa

“Return to Lhasa, return to the Potala Palace. In the Yarlung Zangbo , River cleanse my heart, on top of snow mountains awake my soul...”     

再见拉萨

再见,拉萨!那初春的宗角禄康,薄薄的嫩绿罩染着树梢。上百只鸟儿刚又掠过天空,又静静地飘浮于湖面。我没能看见布达拉宫那动人的倒影,却遇见了满树的繁花。很多人喜欢这高原上干裂的季节,就像他们,平日里总会来这里消磨些时间,在这样的午后慵懒地倚着湖光山色,发着呆,寂静无言却也恬淡温暖。人潮流动,却听不见喧嚣与嘈杂。所有的转经筒都在晨光里摇动,像是一声声清脆的音符。清晨的八廓街,阳光散发着动人的金黄,从四面八方而来的人们,行走在转经道上。     

The Day in Lhasa

Procession at Sunup As the sun rises,pilgrims,one after another,come from various directions and gradually form a procession around the Potala Palace.Undeniably,in the short term,this daily procession has been reduced due to the negative impact of the tragedy that occurred on March 14~(th) in Lhasa. Notwithstanding,today it seems everything has returned to normal.
