Xiahe Mountain view Hotels

"When I came to Xiahe, the luckiest thing was to live in the Tangka B&B of Niang Jihejia. As soon as she entered the door, the proprietress smiled and served hot Tibetan milk tea and Tibetan bread. The milk tea warms hands and hearts, and the bread has a natural flour aroma, and the more chewy it is, the more tasteful it is. The next morning, she even sent warm rice porridge and bread early, and was carefully taken care of all the way home. The wooden attic is beautifully carved, and the old-fashioned radio is full of songs with a sense of age. Time is slow here. Mr. Niangji is the third generation of Tangka painter. He took us into the beautiful wooden house, the walls hung, the cabinets were all Tangka, the red of cinnamon, the green of peacock, the blue of bluestone, and the expensive gold powder, each color from the depths of the earth, still bright as before after thousands of years. He sketched the lines for us, we grind paint color, this matter can not come, wrist to be stable, heart to be quiet, every stroke is a spit. We finally understand why Tangka is ”the art of practice” - painting is the Buddha, repair is actually the heart. Teacher Niangji loves to laugh and is very patient. He gave us guidance and explanation of Tangka, which lasted until one o'clock in the morning, without any urging or impatient. At that moment, the world suddenly quieted down, there was no car sound, no noise, and the subtle sound of paint on the cloth. We are all students who are diligent in learning, have endless questions, praise the teacher's love for Tangka, praise the charm of Tangka, and praise the depth of Tibetan culture. He said that the grandfather passed it to his father, and the father passed it to him. This craft is like a prayer wheel, and it is endless for generations. This homestay makes people go home not just for one night, but wrapped in a kind of sincerity and warmth, making people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts. I will definitely come again.
