Lhasa
City Tour |
 |
Day
01 Arrive in Lhasa (D) |
The
guide will meet you at Konggar Airport, and transfer you to Lhasa city with about 1 1/2 hours' driving (100km). On the way, you'll be
greeted by Nie Tang Budda - a Budda image engraved in the mountain
face. After arrive in Lhasa,
rest and acclimatize. Overnight in Lhasa |
 |
Day
02 Lhasa (B,L,D) |
The
first day of sightseeing starts from Lhasa's cardinal landmark- Potala Palace, a structure of massive portions. Its towering image
already appearing on various occasions, but your first sight of the
Potala will still be an awe-inspiring moment. It takes at least a
good 2-hour to visit those rooms, halls and chapels. Some 2km to the
east of the Potala is the most revered religious structure in Tibet
- Jokhang Tempel. Bustling with worshippers and redolent with
mystery, the Jokhang is an unrivalled experience. The quadrangle of
streets surrounding the Jokhang is the Barkhor - Lhasa's most
interesting pilgrimage circuit. This area of the Old Town is both
the spiritual heart of Lhasa and the main commercial district for Tibetans. Overnight in Lhasa. |
 |
Day
03 Lhasa (B,L,D) |
About
8 km west of central Lhasa is the Drepung, once world's largest monastery with about 10,000
monks. This day's sightseeing begins with these white monastic buildings
piled up on the hillside. Walking up to the hill is a pleasant thing,
an easy break from the solemn ambience inside the halls and chapels.
At the plat roof of hillside, you can have very good views of the
whole Lhasa city and the distant mountains.
Drepung is one of Lhasa's two great Gelugpa monasteries, the other
is Sera. Around 5km north of central Lhasa, Sera may not be
as grandiose as Drepung, but is more serene surrounded by many small
temples. The "Buddhism Scriptures Debating" in Sera is very
famous. Overnight in Lhasa.

The price for join in tours is cheaper and you have more chance to
get direct contact with normal Chinese people. But meantime you must
also have some tolerance with the other tourist.
The program on Day 03 : Instead of visit Drepung and Sera monasteries.
Some group will go to the "Yambajing" thermal spring, which
located 120 km of Lhasa.
On the way you can see the spectacular scene of the North Tibet grassland. Or some groups will go to the Yamdroktso see (4441m), one
of Tibet's three holy lakes, is located 120km outside of Lhasa.
In clear weather, the lake is a fabulous shade of deep turquoise. |
