Lahore, Pakistan (2) - a seriously underestimated niche travel place
Wiki: Lahore, the second largest city in Pakistan, is the cultural and art center of Pakistan. It is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,000 years. It was once the capital of the Mughal Empire and is known as the "soul of Pakistan". In 630, Xuanzang, a high priest in the Tang Dynasty of China, visited here. After Pakistan's independence, Lahore became the capital of the richest province in Punjab. Lahore consists of the old city built during the Akbar period and the new city in its south. The old city is surrounded by a 7-meter-high red brick wall with 14 gates and a moat winding outside the wall. The city gate in the east towards Delhi, India, is called "Derry Gate", while the main gate of Delhi Red Fort towards Lahore is called "Lahore Gate".
Today's work invitation specially arranged for me a historian from Pakistan to explain the historical and cultural heritage of Lahore in an all-round way. I was also lucky enough to enter several collections of cultural relics that were not open to the public. I was intoxicated by it.
The population density is high, the situation is unstable, inflation, and life is very difficult... But I saw a peaceful, beautiful and original historical and cultural city. There are also donkey carriages, camels, cattle and sheep, chickens on the road... So
The picture includes the following parts:

Need to pay attention
1. Be sure to buy a beautiful traditional costume and walk through the historical site in a second.
I took too many beautiful life photos today, but unfortunately ! can't share real-life photos with you.
Two. Be sure to hire a regular tour guide or interpreter, otherwise you will have no clue. It's a waste to wait and see.
3. In the historical site group, two people must talk to the diagonal corner of the wall. It is very amazing to have an echo system.
Four. Passports and paper visas should be carried with you, and sometimes you really need to show them.
5. Take some cash in the currency of the country. Most markets and restaurants only accept cash. The price is very low, and a few dollars in the shop on the road are enough for two people to have a meal.
6. Wear a turban when entering the mosque, and it's best to wear long trousers and long sleeves when going out.
7. The locals are actually very warm and kind, and many of them have big beards.
