In the morning, you will visit the Potala Palace, the highest ancient palace-style building complex in the world, the residence of the Dalai Lamas of all generations and the center of political and religious power in Tibet. It contains the golden stupa that holds the Dalai Lamas of all generations and a large number of precious murals, thangkas and Buddha statues, which are the concentrated embodiment of Tibetan culture.
After lunch, you will visit the Jokhang Temple, the earliest Buddhist temple built during the Tubo Dynasty. The temple enshrines a twelve-year-old life-size statue of Sakyamuni that accompanied Princess Wencheng into Tibet. It is the most sacred and effective Buddha statue in the hearts of Tibetan people. Here you can see the piety of the people in worship, and you can also turn the prayer wheel and pray with the people.
Friendly Tips: When entering a Tibetan temple, remember to remove your hat and sunglasses. Refrain from smoking, touching Buddha statues, turning pages of Buddhist scriptures, or ringing bells and drums. Other Buddhist artifacts, such as beads and amulets, should not be touched casually.

After breakfast, visit Kadinggou Tianfo Waterfall, whose name means “Heaven on Earth.” Located 24 kilometers from Bayi Town on the banks of the Niyang River, Kadinggou is a typical canyon landscape featuring towering mountains, deep valleys, strange rock formations, and ancient trees. The waterfall drops nearly 200 meters, cascading powerfully down the cliff—a truly magnificent sight. In the middle of the waterfall, a naturally formed Buddha face appears serene and compassionate, giving the site its name, “Heavenly Buddha Waterfall.”
On the surrounding cliffs, you can also find naturally shaped figures resembling Buddhas and guardians. The gorge is filled with dense primeval forest and ancient legends that blend harmoniously with Tibetan Buddhism.

Yamdrok Lake is the highest freshwater lake in the world, with an elevation of 4,441 meters. In Tibetan, its name means “Jade Lake.” After descending the mountain, you can experience Yamdrok Lake up close—its crystal-blue waters merge with distant snow-capped peaks, flanked by colorful mountain ranges, distinctive Tibetan villages, and grazing herds of yaks and sheep. The scenery along the way fills the heart with serenity and joy.
In the afternoon, visit Ritro Monastery, known as “the loneliest monastery in the world.” The name “Ritro” means “Stone on the Mountain.” It is the only building on this small peninsula—a solitary monastery by a vast lake. For over 700 years, it has endured the passing of the seasons, witnessing countless sunrises and sunsets. Here, spiritual practice means staying and guarding this place, until it becomes a way of life itself. That is why people call it “the loneliest monastery.”
