12 Days Tibet--Yunnan Tour

    Yunnan is situated in the southwest corner of China, borders Tibet, Burma, Laos and Vietnam, it has everything from towering snow mountain to tropical rain forest, so it is very rich in tourism resources. Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province, is called the Spring City of China. Dali was the old capital of Yunnan from the 8th to the 13th century. Lijiang is an very beautiful old town with a lot of well-kept old buildings, it is also a World Culture Heritage. Zhongdian is regarded as the Shangri-la in recent years, because it is isolated, peaceful, and primitive, surrounded by many snow mountains. Many travelers think this is a golden route in China.
    Tibet is regarded as the last pure land on the earth, with breathtaking scenery of snow mountains and clear blue waters.

Visit the Potala Palace , the huge 17th-century edifice, built on the site of its 7th-century forerunner, dominates the entire city and valley. The Red Palace in the center used to be the headquarters of Tibetan religious and political life. Now it is a museum and you can see for yourself the Dalai Lama's private monastery with his unmade bed covered in red silk and his private treasury. The white buildings on either side of the palace were once secular apartments and offices of the lay staff members. 
After visit of the Potala Palace, visit the Jokhang Temple. Jokhang Temple is the third wonder of the City of Sun. Built 1,300 years ago to house a golden Buddha, the temple is still one of Tibet's holiest shrines. In the early morning or at evening, prostrate pilgrims fingering prayers beads and murmuring sutras are a common sight. Inside , a dazzling array of Buddhist iconography awes visitors of all faiths. The "first treasure" is the Sakyamuni Buddha, brought to Tibet by a Chinese princess named Wen Chang in 652. The Buddha is gold with encrusted jewels and long, blue-lidded eyes. Buddha of the Future is the next treasure. He too, is golden, but immense and clothed in rich brocade.
