9-Day China Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour: Tibet, Beijing & Wutai

Highlights

Climb the stone steps of the Potala Palace step by step, the White Palace and Red Palace rising tier upon tier, and look down from the golden roof at Lhasa blazing white in the plateau sun.
Step into a Tibetan home in Dadong Village and sip a bowl of butter tea offered by your host, the barley fields spreading just beyond the courtyard wall, where visitors are scarcer than yaks.
Walk into the Forbidden City and follow the central axis through hall after hall, the golden bricks polished smooth underfoot, scenes from The Last Emperor playing in your head.
Stop before the white marble archway at Nanshan Temple and gaze at the stone dragons and auspicious clouds carved as fine as embroidery, the marble glowing softly in the sun.
