With this 10 days tour, we could able visit Beijing, Lhasa and Shanghai. Beijing and Shanghai could be very common cities that everyone could travel when come to China. But, how about Lhasa? Yes, Lhasa as the very important site in Tibet, heard as the highest land in the world filled with lots of interesting and really attractive destinations. Very authentic, ancient and even sacred place spread all over the city.

Barkhor Street in Lhasa

So, my trip with family, in total of 7 people of us began our journey from the capital. Of course, we did visit Great Wall, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and many others significant attractions around the city before transferred to Lhasa. After full 2 days trip explore Beijing, on the fourth day, we took a long train journey to Lhasa. We arrived at Lhasa on the next day. In fact, our guide and the trip advisors were already told me about mountain sickness (commonly happen to people who visit Tibet) before the tour. So we could prepare for the worst. Luckily, all of my family members were health, nothing bad happened, only sometimes hard to sleep at night. Some tips you should notice when you are in Lhasa is never get too much tired, do not do something over energetic.

All our efforts, time and everything were so worth! Lhasa is a beautiful place, kind of mysterious. Along the way, our guide always with us guided us well to the famous attractions at the same time, gave us some tips when we were in the city. Our guide was a local people who very informative and glad to share lots of information about Lhasa. We had no worries for travelling Lhasa. Although the city was little bit remote, old and mysterious but I enjoyed the atmosphere, feel so different from other cities in China.

Majestic Potala Palace - The Highest Palace on Earth

Over the next couple of days we visited Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Sera Monastery, Barkhor Street, Norbulingka Park etc. All of them were incredible but the Potala Palace was truly breathtaking both mentally and physically. I was lucky to be honored with the opportunity to witness such devotion in the most incredible temples and palace. It was a priceless experience I will never forget.

At last after Lhasa, we also had a chance to admire the modern city of Shanghai. It was a beautiful city where I saw the old and new Shanghai at the same time. Thank you for the nice arrangements so we can have a chance to visit those 3 famous cities around China! Appreciate!
