1. Fewa Lake is a lake in the urban area of ​​Pokhara, the second largest city in Nepal. It is the second largest lake in Nepal, with an area of ​​about 6 square kilometers. It is surrounded by mountains, with beautiful scenery and rich entertainment projects. The scenic area is divided into two major areas: the mountain and the lake. It is a good place for viewing photography, vacation and health, humanities learning, worshiping Buddha and praying, and parent-child entertainment.
① Address: Pokhara City, Gandaki Province, Nepal
② Transportation: Direct bus, easy to park by car
③ Peak season: None
④ Time: 3 hours
⑤ Ticket price: Free, it is a public area
2. The mountain is mainly for sightseeing, overlooking the panoramic view of Pokhara City. When the weather is clear, you can see the Fishtail Peak (Machhapuchhre) 30 kilometers away with an altitude of 6,993 meters, but the road up and down the mountain is very narrow and it is very troublesome to miss the car. The main attractions on the mountain are:
① World Peace Pagoda: A white pagoda built by Japanese Buddhists, completed in 2000, 41 meters high, with four statues on the four sides depicting the birth of Sakyamuni, attainment of enlightenment in Bodh Gaya, preaching in Sarnath, and Nirvana. After World War II, Japanese Buddhists built 100 peace pagodas around the world, including two in Nepal. This is one of them, the 71st, and the other is in the temple area of ​​various countries in Lumbini Park where I visited yesterday. The two pagodas look similar. It is said that the pagoda enshrines the finger bone relics of Sakyamuni. You need to take off your shoes when you go up the pagoda.
② Relic Monument: A relic monument under the World Peace Pagoda was built in 1951. Although the monument is in Japanese, it is all Chinese characters. The first half of the sentence is &quot;One day, all the seas and seas return to the wonderful Dharma, and the last ten thousand years of the Dharma should be widely spread&quot;, etc., and the lower half is engraved with &quot;Widely offer relics&quot;. The platform where the relic is located is surrounded by flowers and has a high appearance value
③Nihonsan Myohoji Temple: a single-family house with many small Buddha statues enshrined inside, which is dazzling
④Buddhist shrines: Nepal presents the characteristics of Buddhist communities, which can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. There are several small steps extending up the mountain road, leading to a single Buddhist shrine on the hillside
⑤Bust: A half-length male statue with his hands folded in prayer, named Meen Bahadur Gurung, who was elected Deputy Minister of Defense of Nepal in 2015. There is an octagonal rest pavilion built on the cliff next to it.
⑥ Beverage shop: The price is relatively cheap, the coffee is famous, the coffee beans are freshly ground, and it will be more expensive to add ice, but it is only about 10 yuan in RMB. Some shops are well located on the cliff, overlooking the Fewa Lake below the mountain.
⑥ Observation deck: The viewing platform with the widest view, the fee is 30 rupees (1.7 yuan), there are flower basket swings and heart-shaped photo frames on the platform, sitting on the photo frame to take pictures will be more expensive
3. The lake area has:
① Small wooden boat: You can row it yourself or hire a boatman to row it. Each boat can seat 4 people. The price for rowing by yourself is 670 rupees (37.2 yuan) per hour, and the price for rowing with a boatman is 870 rupees (48.3 yuan) per hour. Generally, you have to row to the island in the middle of the lake. The one-way trip takes 25 minutes. The round trip to the dock plus 10 minutes of strolling on the island is exactly 1 hour, so tourists often choose this option. Charter a boat...
