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 was the capital of ancient Garcia 5,000 years ago. Garcia means the place where God shines. It is a holy place of Hinduism. It is located on the left bank of the crescent-shaped meandering section in the middle reaches of the Ganges River. It is a famous historical city. Not only did it leave the place where Buddha Sakyamuni preached, but also the footprints of Xuanzang, a great monk of the Tang Dynasty, passed by. It is such a city with a heavy history that has attracted me from the oriental land thousands of miles away without hesitation. Naturally, it has its charm. The Varanasi Hotel has never been short of guests. It is a busy season all year round. Not only do Buddhists from all over India have to make pilgrimages at least once in their lives, but there are also many well-known foreign tourists. So remind the donkey friends who are going to come to Varanasi to book the hotel beforehand, or carry their luggage to and fro in hot weather. After staying, I had lunch in the hotel and had a rest until 4 pm. The hotel is located near Assi Ghat, the southernmost of the many river altars in Varanasi, and one of the largest stone steps in the wharf. It is located in the lower reaches of the Ganges River. At 4:00 p.m., I was carrying my baby Sony camera, holding Huawei dual-lens camera cell phone. I began to walk slowly upstream from the Ashi dock at the end of the downstream. I kept clicking all the way, hoping to put the rich humanistic and natural scenery of the Ganges River into the camera. Walking up the continuous stone steps of the Axi River altar, he was suddenly attracted by a sad and confused flute and stopped walking. The melody tells a sad story from ancient times, which echoes over the Ganges River for a long time and refuses to leave. A young man sat on the steps of the old building hung by General Iron, with sad expressions on his face, concentrating on a heart-stirring piece of music. The sound of the flute reveals a slight sadness, expressing the infinite pain in the heart, making people feel a vast world, where the sea of bitterness is endless. Music in the world is interlinked with each other. It takes a long time to get out of the flute. Varanasi is more than just a human landscape, and its ancient music is equally fascinating. Mark Twain once said that the city is older than history, more ancient than tradition, and even more ancient than legend.

As we move towards Assi Ghat, there will be more and more small groups in the river, sitting side by side facing upstream, half-closed hands, with the host reciting the scriptures. For a river, the upper reaches are always more pure. I remember seeing the Yellow River water from different basins in the Yellow River Memorial Hall of Dongying, from upstream to downstream, from clear to turbid, which is a history of suffering for a river. The Ganges River is the sacred river of the Indian people. Its upstream significance to the believers is only known by the Indian people themselves. It originates from the Golden Rinpoche and other God mountains in Tibet, which are recognized as the world centers of several religions, including Hinduism. The closer to Assi Ghat, the less commercial and quieter the atmosphere is, the closer it is to the Ganges River that has not been discovered by a large number of donkey friends around the world a few years ago - believers and laundrymen are acting in unchanged ways, quite different from the ritual performances by the Ganges every night.

Every morning, many people come to bathe in the Ganges River, whether in winter or in summer. You can also charter boats to see people's livelihood from the river, an hour to take boatmen rowing only 200 rupees about 20 yuan, tips at will, very cheap and unchanged Ganges Night Festival is worth seeing, early to have a good place.

Living near Assy Wharf, I participated in the morning ritual activities, which is also the main place of worship in Ganges River. At five o'clock in the morning, there came a group of young girls singing poems on the river, then men came out to read words around the fire altar, and Indians put lamps. It was interesting.
