Bhutan, a country with a very low sense of existence, few people set foot in it, there are not many Chinese who go to the local area, and outsiders know little about it, so it also adds a lot of mystery, and the current understanding of it in books and online is also very limited, and the local area is also called the last pure land by many people who have been there, and I can only go to it in person to unravel this layer of mystery.

Local people of Bhutan.
1: The quickest way to get to the small country of Bhutan is from Nepal or Thailand, report a tour group to go, because there is no direct flight in the country so you can't go, you have to go from a foreign airport, Nepal to Bhutan 1 hour, Thailand to Nepal 4 hours, the distance is not very far, there were nearly 700,000 people in Bhutan, but because of the young ** lost more, the current population is only less than 500,000, and the population of our hometown county is about the same.
Flights to Thailand.
2: If you want to go to Bhutan on your own, this is not possible, it is not open yet, you can only apply for a tour group, about 1500 US dollars per capita, I personally think ** a little expensive, and not to go to European countries, but also so much money, of course, if you particularly like the feeling of empty tranquility over there, this ** is actually good, mainly depends on how you think, the tour group will be equipped with a tour guide and driver, convenient for you to play locally, the tour guide can choose whether to speak Chinese or English, both ** The difference is not the same, the former is slightly more expensive and the latter is cheaper, and entering Bhutan will charge a tourist tax of 100 US dollars per tourist, and the tax collected will be subsidized by the local government to the people.
3: When traveling to Bhutan, I suggest that you have one more travel partner to go with you and take care of each other, It is not recommended for a single woman, the exchange rate of Bhutan's money to ** RMB is 1:11, so the consumption of Bhutan is also very low, the population is Indians in the majority, and a small number of Bhutanese natives, so only Indians can travel freely in Bhutan, and Chinese people are not.
4: There is a post office in the local Thimphu area, where you can customize some stamps that you can't see in the marketIf you like to collect stamps, it is a good choice, of course, the post office is not within the scope of the tour group, you need to talk to the tour guide, and spend a little money to play in the past, it should be noted that if your tour guide does not agree that you can not go.
5: Bhutan's unique dance, anyway, I don't know how to dance, and those who like to dance can spend more than 20 yuan, Dance with the locals, will give you a local traditional costume, clothes you want to wear as long as you want, just can't take it away, and no one urges you, anyway, I think it's very interesting, but I don't have artistic cells, and I won't twist around, I can only silently watch the people who accompany me join in on the side, and it's good to be an audience.

6: This is the Tiger's Nest Monastery in Bhutan, a place where you can sublimate your heart, Located on the cliff, want to go to the Tiger's Nest Temple you have to spend 7 hours to arrive, go here I think the main thing is that their hearts have been sublimated, why do you say this, because I have been very anxious in the domestic life, there has always been a headache, every day for the mortgage car loan, raising children education expenses, pension expenses to worry about, after going to the Tiger's Nest Temple in Bhutan, back home, I found that my heart has become very calm, no distractions of the feeling, in the face of family or social things, I have become not so impatient, every day is very happy, I can sleep well at night, many people say that I am a mental effect, I don't know if it is, maybe the Tiger's Nest in Bhutan, maybe the country of Bhutan, really influenced me deeply.
Small trumpets and prayer wheels.
7: Bhutan's local government is also vigorously developing its own tourism business, also for the people of its own country, build hotels for foreign tourists, build tourism facilities, but also hope that more tourists come here to play, more tourists, the local income will become higher, further use the funds for tourism and the people of the virtuous circle, tourists can also get good service, I think this method is very good, Bhutan has no industry, mainly rely on tourism, so there is almost no pollution in the local area, pure natural.
8: Bhutanese students don't need money to study, and the elderly in ordinary people see a doctor for free, all of which are covered by the stateMy tour guide told me that because of the impact of the first two years, the local tourism industry is not very good, and many young people are unemployed and have no income, so many people have gone abroad, from the original population of more than 700,000 people, to less than 500,000 people now, I am skeptical of this statement.
9: Are the people of Bhutan as happy as they say, at least when I went there, I saw that the local people were very miserable, a bit like my parents lived in the 80s, the kind that can't eat enough, but their eyes are very clear, no sense of turbidity, this feeling I can't say, the locals will not resist tourists to take pictures of them, and even very friendly with you to take pictures, the herdsmen and lamas met on the road will take the initiative to greet each other friendly, I think their happiness is very simple, daily archery and dart competitions, singing and dancing, children playing in the river and laughing like going to an amusement park, the little monk saw me raise the camera and take the initiative to make a grimace。
10: Bhutan has no shopping malls and no entertainment activities, which is completely different from the rest of the countryThere will be some large shopping malls and supermarkets in any prefecture-level city in China, and the best shop I have seen in Bhutan is a small shop selling cosmetics in the capital Thimphu, which is similar to the shops in the third and fourth tier cities in China。
11: I used to think that Bhutan was what it was like in Amman's picture bookUntil one day I came here, and found that this is no different from the Tibetan county, and it can be said that it is almost the same as the Tibetan county, there are not too many characteristics, and there are many top hotels in the world, but that is for tourists from all over the world, and most of the hotels and inns are at the level of our Sichuan or Tibetan areas in China.

12: In Bhutan, you can enjoy the local seasons all year round, and if you come to Bhutan in winter, you can still enjoy the local willow branches just buddingIf you go in the summer, you can also see the budding plums, if you come to Bhutan in the spring, you can also enjoy the unique scenery of autumn, so it is really magical, the four seasons are not distinct, the uniqueness of Bhutan is that the sense of happiness rises involuntarily, and the whole country is very clean, peaceful, and the satisfaction of the world!
13: There are dragon motifs on Bhutanese buildings, food packaging, and even meal bags on airplanesBhutanese people love the dragon and will print it in various places where people can see it, and the dragon is also a belief of Bhutanese people.
From a distance, it looks a bit like the Potala Palace.
The view is simply beautiful.
14: Young women in Bhutan have exquisite weaving skills, and they are all hand-knittedFrom spinning materials to pattern design, there are many unique innovations that follow tradition and are quite famous throughout Bhutan and the Himalayan region.
Bhutanese beauty. Summary:Coming to Bhutan made me realize one of the things that I can think of here about happiness, which is the low desire of a reverent heart.
