江孜城以南二百公里的帕里镇,是被称为“世界屋脊”的高城,不但高,而且冷,有时盛夏六月,满城还大雪纷飞。这里是边境过往的枢纽、牧资聚散的中心。离不丹王国只有二三公里,到锡金王国也仅仅一日路程。商人、香客、骡帮、马队及政府官员络绎不绝,给城镇带来了小小的繁荣。 The town of Pari, 200 kilometers south of Gyantse, is known as the “roof of the world.” It is not only high but also cold. Sometimes in mid-summer, there is heavy snow in the city. Here is the past hub of the border, pastoral gatherings center. Only two or three kilometers away from the Kingdom of Bhutan, Sikkim Kingdom is only one day away. Traders, pilgrims, mules, horses and government officials are in a constant stream, bringing little prosperity to the town.
