Lhasa - Potala Palace - Tibetan Costume Photo Shoot - "God of Wealth Temple" Zhaji Temple - Lhasa
Today you will tour within Lhasa and visit the world's highest ancient palace-fortress architectural complex, 【Potala Palace】. Climb up the long stairs step by step, overlooking Lhasa along the way, taking in the grandeur of the city. While taking photos and resting, you will then enter the Potala Palace to explore this mysterious and ancient palace for which very few interior photos are shown online. After visiting the Potala Palace, you will experience a complimentary Tibetan costume photo shoot (10 negatives, 3 retouched, no makeup, with headwear), leaving a beautiful memory of this trip.
For lunch, you will taste Tibet's specialty 【Yanjing Jiajia Noodles】. Yanjing Jiajia Noodles have been listed in Tibet's intangible cultural heritage directory and featured on the program "A Bite of China." Jiajia noodles, as the name suggests, means "continuously adding." Each bowl has very little noodles, enough to finish in one bite, and they are added bowl by bowl.
In the afternoon, you will go to Zhaji Monastery to "sang" (burn incense). 【Zhaji Monastery】 is Tibet's only God of Wealth temple, located within Lhasa. Although the temple is small, its incense is especially flourishing. It is said that Zhaji Monastery enshrines the God of Wealth and is especially efficacious! Here there is a tranquility undisturbed by outside tourists! Bring a khata, a bottle of baijiu, and a few bundles of mugwort and pine leaves to pay respects at Tibet's only God of Wealth temple—Zhaji Monastery.
