Patan

If I come to Nepal again, I would choose to stay in Patan rather than Kathmandu. It's much cleaner and quieter here, and tourists can stroll leisurely through the streets and alleys, experiencing the slow pace of life of the locals. Patan is located about 3 kilometers south of Kathmandu city and is the center of Mahayana Vajrayana Buddhism. The city's Golden Temple is a rectangular, three-tiered pagoda-style temple. From the roof, the large latticed windows between the eaves, to the walls below and the three large doors, all are covered with gilded copper products. The entrance fee is 100 rupees, and we entered through the back door where no one was watching. After visiting the temple, we voluntarily went to the front door to pay for our tickets. During our visit to the temple, we happened to witness drumming and singing, creating an exceptionally harmonious and sweet atmosphere. Breathing in the fragrance that filled the courtyard and watching the flickering candles, a sense of happiness and satisfaction emerged! The entrance fee for Patan Durbar Square is 1000 rupees, but it's actually quite easy to dodge the fee. Just go to the square around six or seven in the evening and enter through the small paths around it. There are entrances everywhere, and no one is there to check.
