Patan tourism information

Patan has limited restaurants and hotels to choose from, but it is more than enough for a day trip.

Patan's classics are mostly concentrated around Duba Square, but several temples are located in the south of the city. There are also some courtyards and pools in the north, so don't miss these scenic spots when walking.

Like Kathmandu, Patan's Duba Square is also known as the Palace Square, where a large number of temples are concentrated. Nivari's artistic talent has been fully displayed in these buildings, which will make you experience the most luxurious visual feast. During the period of malla dynasty (14 ~18th century), especially during the reign of SiddhinarsinghMalla (16 19 ~ 1660), Dubai Plaza was once brilliant, and MangalBazar, the main business district of Patan, paid the entrance fee at the southernmost end of the plaza. If you want to go to Duba Square many times, be sure to write the valid date of the visa on the back of the ticket.

Statue of King Lundra Mara in Yujiana

In the north of Harry shankar Temple, there is a towering column, and the top is the statue of King Narendra Mara (1684 ~ 1705) and his queen. The king knelt there with a lotus on his head and a cobra canopy. This golden statue has been facing the palace since 1700. Cobra has a bird on its head; Legend has it that as long as there is this bird, the king can return to his palace. A door and window of the palace is always open, ready to welcome the king's return, and a hookah is prepared for him. The legend is not over. If the birds fly away, the elephants in front of the Temple of Vi Soana will go to the Mangahiti Canal to drink water. There are three smaller Vishnu temples behind the statue of the king. These small temples were built in 1590, made of bricks and gypsum, belonging to the Indian temple style. Nasinha, the incarnation of the Sphinx of Vishnu, is enshrined in the temple.

Bimson Temple

Bimson Temple, located at the northernmost part of Duba Square, is dedicated to the god of commerce and trade, which may explain why this temple is well managed and looks particularly prosperous. Bimson is a hero described in Mahabharata and is said to be particularly strong. Bowls, spoons and cups were nailed to the eaves of the temple as sacrifices. This temple has three floors, and there are different opinions about its history. Although we are not sure when it was first built, according to an inscription, it experienced a fire and was rebuilt in 1682. After 1934 earthquake and 1967 earthquake, it was rebuilt twice. A lion sculpture stands on a pillar in front of the temple. The whole building is made of brick, with artificial marble on the surface, and the front of the first floor is very imposing.

Mangahiti canal

Opposite the Bimson Temple is the sunken Mangahiti Canal, which is one of many canals that supply water to Patan and even Baktapur. This canal has a cross-shaped pool and three drainage pipes, on which the lifelike head of Macara (a mythical crocodile) is carved. Next to the canal is Manimandap, two identical stands, built at 1700, which used to be the place where the king was crowned.

ⅵⅵSHWANATH Temple

To the south of Vishnu Temple stands Shiva Temple. This double-topped temple was built in 1627. It is beautifully decorated, with two huge stone statues guarding both sides of the front door. The pillars of the temple are gorgeous. Shiva's Bull Mountain is located on the other side of the temple. There is a huge coffin in the temple, which has just been renovated in recent years.

Krishna temple

Continue to the depths of the square. The third temple you passed was the Krishna Temple, which was built by Hiddina Lahiha, the king of Mara, in 1637. This stone temple, which is largely influenced by Muslims, obviously belongs to the Indian style, which is completely different from the nearby multi-storey roof and brick-wood structure in Newwari. The first and second floors of the temple consist of three rows of miniature pavilions, with Indian-style spires standing at the top. Melodious music often comes from upstairs. Krishna is the incarnation of Vishnu, so its rider Bird Kaludha crossed his chest and knelt at the top of the pillar facing the temple. The story of Mahabharata is engraved on the measurement above the pillar on the first floor, and the scene in Ramayana is interpreted on the second floor. These beautifully carved eaves are accompanied by descriptions in Newwari to explain the scenes depicted in the patterns. Non-Hindus are not allowed in. During the Krishna Festival in August/September every year, important celebrations are held here to celebrate the birth of Krishna.

JAGANNARAYAN temple

The two-story Jagannarayan Temple (or CharNarayan Temple) is dedicated to narayan, the incarnation of Vishnu. Built in 1565. Although some people think it was built in17th century, it is the oldest temple in the square anyway. The temple is located on a brick square pedestal with two large stone lions on the pedestal and two guardians above the stone lions. Clear pornographic pictures are carved on the eaves columns of the temple.

Harry shankar Temple

This three-story temple is dedicated to Harry Shankar, who is half Vishnu and half Shiva. The eaves columns of the temple are carved with images of cursed souls suffering, which is an interesting contrast with the pornographic patterns in Jaganarayan Temple. This temple was built between 1704 and 1705, and was built by the daughter of YoganarenderMalla, king of Yuga.

Taleju

There is a big clock hanging between two strong pillars diagonally opposite the Temple of Taleju. This clock was hung here by King Vishnu Mara in 1736. Before that, there was a big clock here, which was built in 1703, and was later moved to Zhuona Temple of Hong Mai Group. People who have been wronged can ring the bell and ask the king to redress their grievances. The platform under the clock is full of stalls, behind which there is a lotus-like pool with a small bridge. Krishna Temple

This beautiful octagonal temple is also called ChyasimDeval. The stairs leading to the temple face the Sundali courtyard of the palace, and two stone lion statues are guarded in front of the stairs. This temple was built in 1723. Like Krishna's temple, its shape is completely different from the common Newwari stupa temple.

Baidega temple

Behind the temple of Krishna is the temple of Baidega, or Biseshvar. Although he is not tall, he looks strong. This temple is dedicated to Shiva. Although the appearance of the temple is not unique, it is said that there is an extremely beautiful coffin in the temple, which will be unforgettable after seeing it. A few steps back from Dubai Square, you can see an Indian-style stone temple. This is UmaMaheshwarTemple, apparently modeled after the temple of Krishna.

imperial capital

The eastern part of Duba Square is completely occupied by Patan Palace. Some buildings of the palace were built in14th century, but the main buildings were built in17th century and18th century by king cameras such as Hidinara Laha Mara, Sriniwa Samara and Vishnu Mara. Patan Palace was built before Kathmandu Palace and Bhaktapur Palace. This palace experienced two national disasters, one was Prithvi narayan Shah's conquest of Kathmandu Valley in 1768, and the other was the earthquake in 1934. Despite serious damage, it is still the architectural highlight in the valley. The palace consists of a series of interconnected courtyards and three temples dedicated to the goddess Taleju in the valley. KESHAVNARAYAN courtyard

Through the Golden Gate or the Sun Gate, you can enter the courtyard in the north of the palace. This courtyard was completed in 1734 and is the latest part of the palace. Entering the courtyard through a gorgeous gilded gate, the golden triangular wall is carved with statues of Shiva, Parvati, Elephant God and Living Goddess. There is a golden window just above the triangular wall, where the king is worshipped by the public. The bench next to Golden Gate is the favorite of Patan retirees.

Patan museum

After renovation, this part of the palace around KeshavNarayan Courtyard (the living room of King Mara) looks magnificent and radiant. There are the best museums in the South Asian subcontinent (Rs250；; 65438+ 00: 30 am-5:30 pm). In the process of renovation, people added some modern elements to this ancient building, realizing the perfect combination of the old and the new. Cast copper and gold-plated pure copper works are the main features of Patan Museum. Most of these handicrafts are deities in Hinduism and Buddhism. Hall H behind the museum is close to the restaurant, where there are many wonderful photos from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 20th century. The illustrated Museum Library (RS 1000) gives a wonderful introduction to Buddhism and Hinduism, as well as the religion and art in Nepal. It takes at least one hour to visit the Patan Museum, but two hours is more suitable. It is necessary to have a rest in the first-class museum restaurant before leaving the museum for other scenic spots. The dining room is behind the yard. During malla dynasty's time, it was a place where dances and plays were performed. The museum also has a shop (selling exquisite museum posters) and many toilets. Photographs are allowed in the museum.

Muer courtyard

This central courtyard is the largest and oldest of the three main courtyards (squares) of the palace. Unfortunately, it is usually closed to the public, but if you tip the manager, you may have a chance to visit the courtyard. There are two stone lions at the gate of the courtyard, which were built by King Sidina Rashiha Mara and destroyed by a fire in 1662. 1665 ~ 1666 King Sriniva Samara remolded two stone lions. In the center of the courtyard stands a gilded temple of Bedea. The three female temples of Taleju in the palace surround the courtyard. The entrance of Taleju Temple (or Talejuwani) is in the south of the courtyard, surrounded by Ganga, the goddess of Ganges riding a turtle, and Jamuna riding a crocodile. The five-story Degutale Temple is located in the northeast corner of the courtyard, and its top is a three-story octagonal tower. The triple-roofed Temple of Taleju is slightly larger than the first two. It is located in the north of the courtyard overlooking Duba Square. This temple was built by King Sidina Rashiha Mara in 1640. 1934 experienced a fire and an earthquake, and it was rebuilt one after another. Since14th century, the goddess Taleju has been the royal goddess of malla dynasty, and the religious ceremony for her sacrifice was held here.

SUNDARI courtyard

To the south of Mul courtyard is a slightly smaller Sundari courtyard. The pool in the yard is called Tushahiti, which is carved with exquisite patterns. Behind the Sundari courtyard are the Royal Garden and KamalPokhai sink, which are also closed to the public. UNESCO paved the slate for this area, making it look brand-new and turned into a park. The main part of Duba Square has closed the door to Sundali Courtyard, which guards the statue of Vishnu, which is half man and half lion. The gilded window above the gate is inlaid with ivory reliefs on both sides.

Golden Temple (Kua Bahar)

The Golden Temple, also known as HiranyaVarna or SuwarnaMa-havihara, is a unique Buddhist temple (ticket Rs25, from dawn to dusk), just north of Duba Square. Legend has it that this temple was built in12nd century, but the earliest record of its existence can only be traced back to 1409. The two stone lions guarding the door are gorgeous and tacky. Seeing them, I never thought that the internal structure of the Golden Palace would be so magnificent. The three aisles in the yard are protected by fences, and two stone statues are placed on both sides of the gate. Slippers must be put on before entering the hospital, and all leather goods carried with you must be taken off. There are several turtles wandering in the yard-they are the guardians of the temple. The abbot of the temple is a boy who is only 12 years old. He will serve the temple for 30 days and then hand over his work to another boy. This huge rectangular building has a triple roof, and the front is covered with pure copper and gold. There is a beautiful statue of Shi Shi Muny in the hall (no taking pictures). On the far right of the courtyard is the statue of Vajrayana, who is wearing a gorgeous gold and silver cloak. In the middle of the yard, there is a beautifully decorated temple, and a very beautiful bell-shaped pillar stands on the golden roof. There is a small pagoda in the oldest part of the temple. There is a statue of Lokeshvara in the four corners of the courtyard, and there are also four monkeys holding pineapple offerings. There is a mural in Tibetan style in China in the south of the courtyard. Finally, when you leave the temple, look up. Kara chakra Datura is carved on the ceiling.

KUMBESHWARTEMPLE

Kambeswa Temple is just north of Duba Square. It is one of the few five temples in the valley. This temple stands out in the surrounding streets. It is said that it was built in 1392 and is the oldest temple in Patan. This Shiva temple is famous for its perfect proportions and exquisite wood carvings. A huge statue of Nandi, a bull, is facing the temple. There are two ponds on the platform of the temple. It is said that the water comes directly from the holy lake Gosainkund. According to legend, holding a bathing ceremony in the pool of Kambeswa Temple once a year is similar to hiking to Gosayinkund. The important BhairabTemple is located behind the black paint fence in the southeast of the courtyard. There is a life-size wooden statue in the temple. Next door is the more prosperous single-storey temple in Bagram (Parvati). On the west side of the courtyard of Kambeswa Temple is the huge Contihiti sink, which is a popular gathering place for local women. To the north is KumbeshwarTechnicalSchool. Umahash Valtin Poole

From Kambeswa Temple to Duba Square, you will pass the humble Uma Hashwo Temple, a two-story small roof temple located on the west side of Patan hiking route. There is a very beautiful black stone relief in the temple. In the picture, Shiva and Parvati pose as happy Buddha, Shiva sits cross-legged and Parvati leans in his arms. There is a temple with the same name next to the Golden Temple, and there is a similar statue in the temple.

The scenic spots south of Duba Square are located in the back streets and alleys of Haugar District.

BISHWAKARMA temple

Walking south from Duba Square, there are several brass shops and workshops along the way. There is a small temple on your right (west), followed by a roadway leading to the west. Not far from this alley, there is a brick building in Bishwakarma, and the surface of the temple is all inlaid with pure copper relief. This temple is dedicated to the gods of carpenters and craftsmen, as if to prove this point. In the workshop next to the temple, you can often hear the jingle of hammering metal. Minana temple

Further south is a two-story temple, which some people think is a small replica of the red Maizhuona Temple. During the Red Maizona Festival, people will carry Mina statue around the city in a small chariot (pay attention to the large group of people dragging the chariot). This quiet temple was built in Richard's time (3rd-9th century). After many renovations in recent years, the statue of Dobby goddess on the eaves column is very colorful. There is a big pool in front of the temple.

RATOMACHHENDRANATHTEMPLE (Red Wheat Group)

Zhuona Temple in Hong Mai District is located in the south of Duba Square and the west of the road. The rain god and the god of wealth in the red wheat bush have various incarnations. For Buddhists, he is the contemporary bodhisattva of Tantric Buddhism, and for Hindus, he is the incarnation of Shiva. This three-story temple stands in a huge courtyard and was built in 1673, but there was probably another temple here as early as 1408. Each of the four carving doors has a pair of lion statue handles. The four corners of the square base of the temple are engraved with strange kyah patterns (the devil shaped like a snowman). The north of the temple is facing several independent pillars, and there are all kinds of animals (including peacocks, horses, cows, lions, elephants and snakes) on the top of the pillars. There is a bodhisattva statue of this world on each pillar supporting the roof, and under them is a picture of people suffering in hell.

Daxuesi

Xueyuan Temple (also known as Qianfo Temple) is completely hidden in a yard. Compared with other buildings, it is short. The roof of this Indian-style temple is covered with Songkhla tiles, and each tile is carved with a Buddha statue, hence the name "Thousand Buddha Temple". It was modeled after the Mahabuda Temple in Bodhgaya, India, where the testimony of the Buddha blossomed. Xueyuan Temple was probably built in 1583, but it was severely damaged in the 1934 earthquake and was later rebuilt. Unfortunately, due to the lack of planning in the reconstruction work, the later Xueyuan Temple was unrecognizable, and a large number of remaining bricks were used to build an Indian-style Mayan Devi Temple, which is the mother of the Buddha and located in the southwest of the square. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from Xueyuan Temple to the southeast of Duba Square. The signpost of the temple points to an alley full of shops selling Buddha statues. The roof terraces of these shops are all behind the yard. Standing on the terrace overlooks the magnificent academy.

Temple of Wu Kubali

This Buddhist temple is near the University Temple and is one of the most famous temples in Patan. The layout of the main courtyard is very fragmentary, with lightning symbols, big clocks and various statues everywhere, including peacocks, elephants, eagles, upright goats, prostrate believers and a Rana family general who looks like an emperor. These lion statues are very strange in shape. They are fixed on a post and salute with their front paws raised. It seems that they should be guarding the statue of Queen Victoria, not the Nepalese temple. If you enter the main courtyard from the north, you can see many beautifully carved wooden beams. It is said that they are one of the oldest beams in the valley. At first, they were behind the temple, but they were moved to this safer place when they were rebuilt. The temple we see today was probably rebuilt in the19th century. There is a small stupa behind the temple.

Ha Bahar, west of Duba Square

From the southernmost tip of Duba Square, take this road to the west, pass CafedePatan, and soon arrive at HakaBahal, a rectangular building with an internal courtyard. According to the traditional custom, the living goddess of Patan should be born from the daughters of many priests in this temple.

zoo

The only zoo in Nepal is located in the southwest of Patan, just behind Jawlakhel. There are many exotic Nepalese wild animals in the zoo, including rhinoceros, Bengal tiger, clouded leopard, panda and crocodile. But in some ways, it is more like a miserable animal prison. Now the park has taken some measures to improve the living environment of animals. Hippos and lazy bears have been waiting for passing tourists to throw food at them with their mouths open, completely ignoring the sign "No feeding animals". The 60-cm-long pine tree is so lovely that it always excites people. Enthusiastic naturalists, students and children all like this zoo very much. From Kathmandu to Patan, you can ride a bike, take a taxi, take a bus or motorcycle. From Thamel to Dubai Square in Patan, riding a bicycle all the way up the slope is very hard. The taxi fare is about 130 rupees.

Electric motorcycles (Safatempo, RS7, 14A Road) leave near the main post office in Sundhara District of Kathmandu, and leave when people are full. Be sure to confirm the destination carefully before getting on the bus, because some cars will go to MangaIBazar/ Duba Square, while others will go to Lagankhel bus stop. On the return trip, a small number of motorcycle feeder lines only reached Koteshwar and did not continue to Kathmandu city center.

Local buses often run between Kathmandu bus station (Ratna parking lot) and Patanmen (Rs7). Buses and faster minibuses set off from the chaotic Laganher bus station in Patan to the southern cities of Kathmandu Valley, including Godavari, Bugamati and Sambagayan, which were crowded with people. There is an interesting route to return to Kathmandu from Patan: continue to the northeast from the North Tower, follow the interesting steps along the San Hamur River, cross the footbridge on the Bagmati River, and then come to the large conference center next to the Anico Highway, from which you can take a taxi or ride a bike back to Tamer. Most restaurants in Patan are concentrated around Duba Square, serving short-distance tour groups. The price is slightly higher, but it is not outrageous, and you can enjoy excellent scenery during the tour. Café de Despatin is a small restaurant, just a stone's throw from the southwest corner of Duba Square, and it has been very popular since it became popular. The restaurant has a pleasant courtyard and roof garden (each roof has a dining table! )。 This restaurant serves pizza and Newari dishes. Talejutataurant & Bar is located in Taishan, a five-story building with welfare, at the southernmost tip of the square. From here, the scenery is very spectacular. Especially on sunny days, you can see the snow-covered Mount Ganeshmar. In the square area, this restaurant has the most reasonable price and the most delicious food. "100% drinkable" organic Ukrainian wine is hard to refuse. MuseumCafé is located behind Patan Museum, a fashionable outdoor restaurant run by Summit Hotel. The price is slightly higher than other restaurants, but it is worthwhile to eat in the gorgeous garden. The ingredients of the organic salad in the restaurant all come from this garden. You don't need museum tickets to eat in restaurants.

DeTemple Cafe is located on the northern edge of the square, dealing in snacks and set meals. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the roof of the restaurant, which is far more valuable than the food itself. You might as well try Yarchagumpa tea (50 rupees), which is a Tibetan herb. OldHouseCafé is similar to a temple restaurant, but the price is slightly cheaper. The old house in Newvally is located in the northeast corner of the square. The third world restaurant is located in the west of the quiet square. Standing on the roof, you can clearly overlook the temple of Krishna. BakeryCafé is located in Jawlakhel, next to the zoo. You can come here for a refreshing American coffee (espresso without heating water), pistachio milk mixed drink or snack. The staff here are all deaf and the service quality is very good.

DhokaimaCafé is a comfortable restaurant near Patanmen with a beautiful garden and a bar under a leafy peanut tree. After visiting Patan's backstreet, it is very good to have a snack or a big brunch here. This restaurant is a part of YalaMayaKendra, a warehouse in Rana period, used to hold temporary cultural activities. LaSoon is a relaxing garden restaurant and bar, located in a remote alley, which is occupied by NGO staff every lunch time. The food here is in line with international tastes, including excellent pizza, cheese rolls and peanut soup. NewYorkPizza has a 25-inch pizza here. According to the store, it is the largest mass-produced pizza in the world. A 12 inch pizza is about 340 rupees, and Patan gives it away for free. Ding Dian Hotel will hold a special barbecue every Friday night, when you will feast your eyes. On Sunday morning 10 to afternoon 1: 30, there is also a market specializing in selling organic products. Despatin Cafe is near Duba Square. Its biggest attraction lies in the pleasant restaurant and extremely convenient transportation under the hotel. The best rooms in the hotel are bright, clean and very spacious, but you can only enjoy the scenery from the roof. Only two rooms have private bathrooms. The ancient Maha Buddha Temple is in the southeast of Duba Square, near the Maha Buddha Temple. This simple hotel has a good location, away from the noise. The guest room has a bathroom, but the light is dim. Try to choose the room upstairs, preferably near the roof. A single room is much smaller than a double room. The laundry and breakfast in the hotel are very cost-effective

The Peace Hotel is next to the Big Buddha Temple. It is also very quiet, well run and has various rooms. The condition of the bathroom is not flattering, but my daughter can enjoy the scenery at the dinner party on the west side, and several rooms also have balconies. MountainViewGuestHouse is located in an alley next to the main road between Jawlakhel and Duba Square. The conditions in this hotel are not very good. The room is small, the service staff are unhappy teenagers, and it is next to a noisy motorcycle repair shop, but the price here is very cheap. In the back room, finally. Mid-range and upscale hotels

Some hotels can pay by credit card.

AlohaInn is a warm and hospitable old-fashioned hotel. The room is neat and quiet, but it is ordinary and the price is not cheap. The deluxe room is 5 dollars more expensive than the ordinary room, but it has a table and refrigerator, which is worth it. This hotel is located in Jawlakhel area, which is a little far from the old town on foot. HotelClarion is located on the main street, near AlohaInn. He has nine comfortable and tidy rooms and a pleasant garden, but it is close to the noisy road, so try to choose the back room. The restaurant in the hotel is very good, and you can taste cocktails in the pleasant garden.

Guests staying at SummitHotel know this hotel very well. This is a fashionable hotel run by the Dutch. It has been very popular for a long time, and it is not inferior to hotels in Kathmandu. Lush gardens, carved beams and painted buildings and red tiles on the courtyard walls add a relaxed and romantic atmosphere to the hotel. The swimming pool is open to tourists in summer, and the outdoor fireplace is warm and comfortable in winter. The unique landscape rooms are small in area, but they all have fashionable bathrooms and lovely leisure areas, which are worth the money. Guests are scrambling to stay in the Himalayan landscape room on the corner, which has a very wide view and even overlooks Kathmandu across the river. Try not to choose a cheap room. HotelGreenwichVillage is located at the top of Kopundol, near apex Hotel. It is quiet around, but it is low-grade (and cheap). The hotel room is a bit out of date, but there is a lovely terrace next to the swimming pool. Besides, the restaurants here are also very good. The hotel provides foreign exchange and airport shuttle service. With the support of UNESCO, after years of restoration, ShersthaHouse will be opened to the public in the near future, and it will become a boutique hotel.

Celebrate the full moon festival in Kambeswa Temple: During the full moon festival in July or August every year, thousands of pilgrims flock to Kambeswa Temple to worship the gold and silver lingjia standing in the pool. At that time, there was a dramatic scene: the people who held the bathing ceremony dipped into the pool, and members of Brahman and Khrushchev caste changed the sacred thread they wore on their left arm. Jhankri (faith therapist) wears colorful headdress and skirt and dances around the temple while playing drums. The whole scene is colorful and lively.

Zhuona Festival of Red Wheat: The statue in Zhuona Temple of Red Wheat looks like a piece of wood painted with red paint and roughly carved, but Zhuona Festival of Red Wheat is the biggest festival in Kathmandu, when people will carry this statue around the city. As the rainy season is approaching at this time, people think that the red wheat cluster Zhuona has the power to control rain, and asking for rain is the theme of this festival. Like Kathmandu, at the Red Wheat Qunzhuona Festival in Patan, people drag chariots through the streets and alleys of the old city every day, but the parade here will last for a whole month. People put gods on chariots in Phulchowki, and finally dismantled chariots in Jawlakhel at the end of the parade. Most of the journey of the main chariot is accompanied by a small chariot, which carries the idol of Minana, the partner of Hongmai Qunzhuo. This statue is enshrined in the nearby Mina Temple. BhotoJatra, or displaying sacred vests, is the highlight of the festival. The ownership of this vest is just, so I entrusted this vest with jewels to Hong Mai Qunzhuo. The vest will be displayed three times, giving the owner a chance to claim it-in fact, no one will claim it. At that time, the king will attend this celebration, which is also a national holiday in Nepal. When cruising to the last stop of Jawlakhel, the statue of Chimai Qunzhuona will not return to the temple of Chimai Qunzhuona in Patan, but will be transported by sedan chair to its second hometown, 6 kilometers south of Bugamati village, where it will be dedicated for the remaining six months. Because the main battle chariot is too big and the cruising route is long, the Nepalese army is often called to help pull the chariot.
