Jokhang Temple-Barkhor Street Turn-Jokhang Temple-Sera Temple-drepung monastery-Zhigongti Temple-Dezhong Hot Spring-Gandan Temple-Jiamagou

Time: 3-4 days

Row details

If Potala Palace is the symbol of Lhasa, then Barkhor Street around Jokhang Temple is the soul of Lhasa. Follow the Tibetan elderly wearing Tibetan robes and holding prayer wheels along the prayer wheel, walk with the long-headed pilgrims and feel their pious and friendly smiles.

Sera Temple, drepung monastery Temple and Gandan Temple are the three major temples of the Yellow Sect. Zhigongti Temple occupies a high position in Tibetan Buddhism and has the most famous celestial burial platform. Dezhong Hot Springs, which is 0/5 km away from Zhigongti Temple/Kloc-0, was opened by Lotus Peanut Master and sought after by believers. Jiamagou is the birthplace of Songzan Gambu.

It takes three to four days to make a spiritual pilgrimage, and all the temples and important shrines of Tibetan Buddhism will pass by.

Second, start from Wang Yaoshan and explore all the way.

Yaowangshan Cliff Stone Carving -Kutokuhayashi- Guandi Temple-Zongjiao Lu Kang-Ji Zha Temple-Pabangka; Zayeba Temple-Chubu Temple-Rezhen Temple

Time: 2-3 days

Line characteristics

Lhasa can always bring you some surprises, because you can always make new discoveries. Although in an unnoticed corner, these secret holy places still exude charming luster.

Details of the route: The first half is in downtown Lhasa, which is also a part of great bend. Cliff carvings in Wang Yao, Kutukuhayesi, Guandi Temple and Ji Zha Temple are not as famous as Jokhang Temple and the three major temples, but they are also an inseparable part of the holy land in Lhasa. Because there are few tourists, I have a unique feeling of being close to Lhasa when I meet locals who turn around.

In the second half, in the suburbs of Lhasa or nearby counties, Zayeba Temple, one of the four major practice sites, Pabangka, the oldest temple in Lhasa, Chubu Temple, the main temple of the Kagyu Sect with a history of more than 800 years, and Rezhen Temple, which was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, have a long history, although far from the mountains of the market.

Third, the autumn tour

Time: 1 day

Line characteristics

Lhasa is a golden city, and the most golden is its autumn colors.

Row details

The Lhasa River in autumn is a blue scene, reflecting the golden poplars along the river. As the sun sets, the mountains along the river are also dyed golden yellow by afterglow. The small village on the other side of Xianzu Island was also surrounded by golden yellow and climbed the hillside behind the small village. The whole city of Lhasa is in front of us, dotted with bright yellow autumn colors. The Lalu Wetland in the urban area also presents a beautiful autumn scenery, with red and yellow aquatic plants, and migratory birds begin to migrate here for the winter. There is a famous landscape avenue around Lhasa, with tall and straight poplars and silver-shining Populus euphratica on both sides, as if walking in an oil painting. When the wind blows, yellow leaves fly all over the sky ... And in a fishing and leisure forest in the east of Lhasa, two ordinary huts are reflected in the water, which is very fairy tale, dubbed by photographers as "golden pond" and is the masterpiece of autumn scenery in Lhasa.
