Potala Palace

Ready for an epic 3-day adventure across Southwest China? From majestic Buddhas to golden-roofed monasteries, this trip mixes legendary landmarks with serious mountain vibes 🏔️✨ Top Spots to Visit: Day 1: Leshan Giant Buddha, Chengdu Area Kick things off in Leshan with the mind-blowing Giant Buddha (2435 Lingyun Road). Carved right into the cliff, it's truly massive! Go early to avoid crowds—opens at 07:30 (Apr–Oct). Night visits are beautiful; the illuminated Buddha glows until 22:30. Bring water and an umbrella (rain pops up out of nowhere). Day 2: Kumbum Monastery, Xining Xining’s Kumbum Monastery (No. 56 Jinta Road, Huangzhong) is a spiritual feast—golden roofs, flowerbeds, and serene mountain backdrops. Opens 07:30–17:30 (Apr–Oct). Budget time to enjoy the detailed art and maybe catch monks chanting. Entry is cheap (¥10). Local tip: stroll the surrounding area for fresh yak yogurt at roadside stalls. Day 3: Potala Palace, Lhasa Iconic is an understatement. Potala Palace (No. 35, Beijing Middle Rd) glitters under the sun and clouds, with flowerbeds in front—perfect photo ops! Opens as early as 08:30 (seasonal). Advance tickets are a must; they sell out fast. Prepare for some stair-climbing, and acclimatize to the altitude with slow sightseeing. Getting Around—Travel Hacks: Use trains/flights for long jumps between cities (trip.com is your best friend for booking). Local taxis are affordable, but consider buses for real-deal local flavor. Weather flips between sunny and rainy fast, so pack a small foldable umbrella, sunblock, and layers. Food Musts: Don’t skip spicy Sichuan bites in Leshan! In Lhasa, try yak butter tea and sweet Tibetan bread at local teahouses. Key Tips: Bring cash (small bills) for entry fees and street snacks. Altitude in Lhasa/Xining: hydrate and slow down. Best photo time—mornings or post-rain for moody mountain scenery! #ChinaTravel #SouthwestChina #LhasaDiaries #CulturalJourney #tripdotcom
