Assi Ghat

Follow the Ganges to the Asi River Tank, which is basically the southernmost river Tank in Varanasi. You can watch the sunrise and sunset of the Ganges River here. The famous Ganges Night Festival is also nearby at night, and it is wonderful to not miss. The river is as dirty as ever, but this is also the characteristic of the Ganges. There are many pilgrims bathing here, and you can also take a boat to see the scenery on the shore and the sunrise and sunset.

The river altar is a pretty good place for you to understand the customs of India, the most famous river in India, where you can see the Indians' respect for religion or the Ganges

At 5:30 in the morning, Varanasi by the Ganges was awakened. With the great haze, sitting on the boat and enjoying the view of the Ganges and the river altar. To be honest, the river altar under the early morning light, the beauty of the river altar is like an oil painting, and everyone walking among it is sacred.

Varanasi is the capital of the ancient Ganges 5,000 years ago, the place where the gods shine, is a holy place of Hinduism, located on the left bank of the crescent-shaped meandering section of the middle Ganges River, a famous historical ancient city. This place not only leaves the Buddha Sakyamuni sermon, but also the footprints of Xuanxuan, a high monk in the Tang Dynasty in China. It is such a city that carries a heavy history, and it attracts me from the east land of thousands of miles away. It naturally has its charm. The Varanasi hotel has never been short of guests, and it is a high season all year round. Not only do all India's Buddhists have to make at least one pilgrimage in their lifetime, but there are also not a few foreign tourists who are famous. So remind the travel friends who are going to Varanasi to book the hotel in advance, otherwise it is a hot day with luggage tossing back and forth. After staying, I had lunch at the hotel and rested until 4 pm. The hotel is located near Assi Ghat, the southernmost of Varanasi's many river altars, and one of the largest stone steps in the pier, in the lower reaches of the Ganges. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, I carried the baby Sony camera, took the Huawei double lens photo mobile phone, and slowly began to walk upstream from the Axi Pier at the end of the downstream. I kept snoring along the way. I could not wait to put the rich humanistic style by the Ganges River. The natural scenery was fully loaded into the lens. From the stone steps of the Axi River Tan, suddenly attracted by a sad and confused flute and stopped. The melody from the martyrdom tells a sad story from ancient times, and it echoes over the Ganges for a long time and refuses to leave. A young man sat on the steps of the old building hanging from the iron general, his face full of sadness, and he was engrossed in the interpretation of a gripping music. The sound of the flute revealed a faint wound, in the infinite pain of the heart, people still feel a vast world, where the sea of suffering is the end. The music in the world is connected to each other, listening to listen to the desire to stop, a long time before coming out of the flute. Varanasi's touching landscape is more than humanistic, and the ancient local music is equally charming. Mark Twain once said, "The city is older than history, older than tradition, and even older than legend."

Every morning, many people come to the Ganges to bathe, whether in winter or summer. You can also charter a boat to see the people's livelihood from the river. It takes 200 rupees to row a boat for an hour and about RMB 20. The tip is free, very cheap and the Ganges Night Festival is worth seeing. You can have a good location early.

Because I live near the Axi Pier, I participated in the morning sacrifice activities, which are also the main sacrifice site of the Ganges River. It was dawn at five o'clock in the morning. First, a group of young girls sang poetry on the river, and then the men came out to read words around the fire altar, and Indians put lights, which was very interesting.

[Location] On the southernmost side of the 80 river altars by the Ganges River, because the assi River meets from here. [Activities] We came by boat in the morning. When we arrived, it was just the sunrise time, but the smog was too big and we didn't see the feeling of the yolk jumping out. There are different activities on the river altar every morning, sometimes laughing yoga, but we didn't come on the day. And another activity, on the stage, there is a year-old woman singing an epic or blessing Ganges song, next to the accompaniment. Originally, a team of dressed young girls danced on the stage, and was transferred away for some reason. It can be seen that they will not dance for a while and are disappointed. In the pavilion next to it, the priestess is carrying out the ceremony with the believer.
