Prachin Hanuman Ghat--ๆฐดๆถ็ฝๅคด-On the Ganges River in Varanasi, the river altars followed by one. Anyway, I was dizzy there a long time ago. From the early morning of five o'clock, to the boating tour, to the sleeping Varanasi buildings, they are all the former palaces. Then I see the sky gradually getting brighter and I see the whole city slowly awakening. In fact, Varanasi's five o'clock is very lively. Probably people with faith do not sleep late.
