拉萨

Lhasa is both a high-altitude regional capital and a living center of Tibetan Buddhism. The Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple and Norbulingka form a World Heritage ensemble, while monasteries, museums, neighborhood teahouses and everyday city life extend far beyond its postcard skyline. Allow time to acclimatize, use official booking channels and be considerate of pilgrims and residential areas.

怒江

Nujiang Prefecture stretches along one of the deepest river valleys in China, with Gaoligong Mountain and Biluo Snow Mountain standing between the rivers. Lisu, Nu, Dulong, Zang and other communities, suspension bridges, churches, terraced fields and forests are all located in huge height differences and fragile roads. The journey takes time, the villages are private living communities, and the itinerary must be subject to the weather.
