11天成都、樂山、峨嵋與西藏鐵路青藏鐵路之旅

早晨，專車將至飯店接你，隨後從成都開車約2小時前往參觀聯合國教科文組織世界遺產——樂山大佛，這是世界上最大、最高的石刻佛像。這尊矗立在兩江交匯處、擁有1200年歷史宏偉非凡的佛像，是直接在岩壁上雕刻而成。此紀念碑高71公尺（233英尺）、寬28公尺（92英尺），使其成為世界最大的古代大佛。他的雙肩寬28公尺，每個大腳趾長8.5公尺，耳朵長7公尺。他確實宏偉。當地流傳著一句俗諺：「山是一尊佛，佛是一座山」。

你將步行上下階梯，從極近的距離瞻仰大佛。這讓你能近距離觀察樂山大佛的每個部位，並在通往大佛頭部附近山頂的途中，帶給你許多古老佛寺、雕刻、石窟和宗教遺跡的驚奇體驗。（推薦自費活動：棧道陡峭狹窄。若你不便步行，可以搭乘遊船在江上欣賞全景，充分體會這尊大佛的宏偉規模。）

隨後，你將乘車約45公里前往報國寺，這是峨眉山山腳下最大的寺廟。行程結束後，乘車前往飯店辦理入住並好好休息。

你將用一整天時間參觀峨眉山，這裡是兼具文化與自然遺產的世界遺產之一。峨眉山是中國四大佛教名山之一，擁有眾多佛教寺廟與叢林。除了豐富的文化遺產外，該山也位於喜馬拉雅山東部高地的邊緣，孕育了豐富多樣的動植物以及令人驚嘆的自然風光。

你將以輕鬆的方式遊覽峨眉山：觀光車＋健行＋纜車。遊客中心 - 搭乘觀光車至雷洞坪（約1.5~2小時） - 步行30分鐘至接引殿 - 搭乘纜車上金頂（5分鐘） - 在金頂觀光 - 原路返回。

這將有助於你節省體力，專注於峨眉山的精華景點。金頂是自然奇觀與佛教精神的完美結合，包含日出、雲海、佛光與聖燈四大奇觀。你可以在金頂周圍漫步，探索佛教建築與傳統，並欣賞峨眉山及周邊的全景。若天氣允許，你將有幸欣賞其壯麗的雲海奇觀。

行程結束後，你的導遊和司機將護送你返回成都市區的飯店。

早餐後，你將搭車 17 公里前往成都大貓熊繁育研究基地，實現你的貓熊夢。成都大貓熊基地容納了超過 100 隻貓熊，是全世界圈養大貓熊數量最多的基地。你在那裡會看到不同年齡的大貓熊。看著牠們玩耍、吃東西、爬樹、睡覺，真的非常有趣……如果你在秋天來，將有機會在陽光產房和月亮產房看到粉紅色的新生大貓熊幼崽。除了大貓熊，你還能在小貓熊活動場與從你身旁走過可愛的小貓熊相遇。接著跟隨導遊透過貓熊博物館深入了解貓熊的祕密。（註：貓熊喜歡涼爽的天氣，因此建議你早點到達，因為貓熊在早晨更加活躍。）

隨後，造訪成都人民公園，見證這座城市的慢節奏生活以及當地人的日常生活方式。坐在歷史悠久的茶館裡，點一杯香氣撲鼻的綠茶，與朋友聊天，看當地人打麻將和享受樂趣。之後，在該市「新舊融合」的步行街之一——寬窄巷子輕鬆漫步，感受成都的「新生活」。古老的街區匯聚了晚清、民國初期的建築以及早期的西式建築。這裡有各種成都小吃、民間藝術與工藝品、夜店和咖啡館，使其成為成都最活躍的地方之一。（自選活動：品嚐一些當地的麻辣美食，像是串串香、擔擔麵，甚至跨出舒適圈品嚐一下兔頭！）

行程結束後，你將被送往火車站，搭乘火車前往拉薩。Z322次列車每隔一天於 21:08 從成都西站發車。火車全程行駛約 37 小時，並於第三天 10:24 抵達拉薩火車站。（註：請務必攜帶你的西藏旅遊證件，上車時會進行查驗。）

溫馨提醒：
成都至拉薩的火車每隔一天發車。請聯絡你的旅遊顧問以確認火車時刻表。

你正搭乘青藏鐵路——世界上海拔最高的鐵路。挑選一個靠窗的座位，欣賞喜馬拉雅山脈、波光粼粼的湖泊、點綴著犛牛與牧民帳篷的平原，以及荒涼的沙漠，隨著火車緩緩爬升至高原。在整個旅程中，隨時留意藏羚羊、狐狸和野驢，以及偶爾出現的遊牧民。

實用小貼士：
鋪位：火車提供四種鋪位，包括軟臥、硬臥、軟座和硬座。
餐飲：火車上的餐車提供各種中式和藏式餐點。如果中式餐點不合你的胃口，你可以攜帶一些即食食品。
洗手間：每個軟臥車廂都配備了西式和蹲式洗手間。不過，乘客應自備毛巾、衛生紙和乾洗手液。
供氧設施：抵達西寧時，所有乘客通常必須換乘另一列配備供氧系統的火車，以幫助乘客適應西藏高原的高海拔。

海拔：3650m

經過早晨在火車上欣賞窗外景色後，火車終於抵達拉薩。

歡迎來到拉薩，西藏自治區的首府！當你抵達拉薩火車站時，導遊和司機將在出口處迎接你，然後護送你前往拉薩市區的飯店。你可以在飯店好好休息，適應拉薩的海拔（3,650公尺），並準備好第二天在導遊的帶領下探索拉薩。

溫馨提醒：
1. 透過放慢腳步、注意保暖、頻繁喝水、前一兩天先不洗澡、保持輕鬆心情以及充足睡眠，有助於預防高原反應。
2. 你應該隨時根據自己的健康狀況遵循醫生的海拔建議。
3. 當你感到身體不適或需要協助時，請務必讓導遊或飯店工作人員知道。那裡的人們總是樂於助人且擅長處理高原反應。

海拔：3650m

今天，你和你的團員將造訪以其輝煌建築、文化、藝術和歷史而聞名的世界文化遺產——大昭寺，藉此探索拉薩。之後，你將透過觀賞哲蚌寺的僧侶辯經來體驗藏傳佛教。最後，你可以與當地人一起漫步於著名的八廓街，並深入了解藏人的日常轉經生活。

座落於拉薩市中心超過 1300 年的大昭寺，是世界各地佛教徒的重要朝聖地。作為西藏的精神中心而聞名，據說大昭寺是為了松贊干布的兩位新娘——唐朝文成公主和尼泊爾尺尊公主而建造的。「大昭」意思是「佛殿」，它供奉著一尊 12 歲時的釋迦牟尼等身佛像，被視為佛教世界的瑰寶。這就是為什麼佛教朝聖者將其視為最神聖的目的地。大昭寺也以其美麗的建築而聞名。你可以欣賞精緻的雕刻、色彩繽紛的壁畫、華麗的裝飾以及建築的細節，這是藏族建築的傑作。當你看到人們白天和夜晚在寺廟前祈禱時，時間彷彿靜止了。（請注意，參觀順序可能會根據你的大昭寺預約情況進行調整。）

下午，乘車約 30 公里（50 分鐘）前往參觀哲蚌寺，這是西藏格魯派三大寺廟之一。這提供了近距離體驗藏傳佛教的機會。哲蚌寺的亮點是觀看僧侶辯經，時間大約在 15:00-17:00 之間（週日除外）。辯經是一種有趣的交流形式，一名僧侶站著擔任提問者，而回答者或一組回答者坐著。站著的僧侶提出問題並拍擊手掌和頓足，每個動作都有特殊的含義，例如喚醒智慧，並非具有侵略性。你還將有機會參加祈禱儀式、參觀經堂，並了解寺院的生活方式。這是深入了解藏傳佛教信仰與實踐的必訪景點。

隨後，返回拉薩市區，在緊鄰大昭寺熱鬧的八廓街漫步，這裡在古代是佛教徒進行轉經（朝聖環線）的地方。如今，它已成為一個繁榮的當地市場，你可以在那裡喝一壺酥油茶、穿著藏服拍照，並挑選一些當地的西藏、尼泊爾和印度手工藝品與紀念品。

Altitude: 3650m

Today you will explore the world’s highest palace for its brilliant architectures, culture, and history, then visits to one of the "great three" Gelug university monasteries in Tibet - the Drepung Monastery.

In the morning, you can walk into Potala Palace (World Heritage), the traditional residence and winter palace of the Dalai Lama (1649-1959). It takes 365 steps from potala gate to reach the Red Palace which is the highest palace in the world at an altitude of 3,700m. Through the principal halls, chapels, and shrines of past Dalai Lamas in the Red Palace, you will be astonished and touched by its remarkable paintings, gorgeous jeweled works, skilled carving, colorful ornamentation, and the mystery stories behind the treasures. Inside the Potala Palace you will meet lots of Tibetan pilgrims who come all the way from afar to this sacred site to pray as their life time destination. You can also ask your guide to share more information about Songtsen Gampo, the 33rd king of Tibet, who first build the Potala Palace in the 7th century for his marriage to Princess Wenchengof the Tang Dynasty. (Note: We may adjust the visit order due to the visiting time of your Potala Palace Ticket. All visitors must visit the Potala Palace with a tour group while staying inside for an hour. No photo inside.)

Then, drive about 35 minutes (12km) to visit the Drepung Monastery, which was the largest Tibetan monastery (of the Gelug Sect) in Lhasa. It used to be the palace of the Dalai Lama before he moved to the Potala Palace in the 17th century. Today, it is famous for the Drepung Shoton Festival held each August, where people come to offer yogurt to the monks who have finished their 100 days of meditation. You can also witness the grandest Buddha/Thangka Unfolding Ceremony. Besides the unique architecture and amazing buildings, you can watch monks debating in Tibetan Buddhism, which is vibrant and active with expansive gestures, clapping, and stamping. After visiting the Drepung Temple, you will have about a 2-hour Tibetan culture tour, which includes an introduction, Tibetan incense making, and block printing.

Altitude: 3850m | Distance: 380km, about 7 hours’ drive

On this day, drive about 8 to 9 hours (340km) from Lhasa to Shigatse, with a visit to two amazing natural landscapes - Yamdrok Lake and Karola Glacier - on the way.

In the morning, after about 3 to 4 hours of driving (200km), make sure to have your camera ready. When you reach Kampala Pass (4,797 meters), you'll have a breathtaking view of Yamdrok Lake, a freshwater lake down below, as well as spectacular views of the holy Mt. Nyenchen Khangsar in the distance. It is one of the four largest sacred lakes in Tibet, along with Lhamo Latso Lake, Manasarovar Lake, and Namtso Lake. Yamdrok Lake offers stunning views of the Tibetan plateau and is said to be able to help Tibetans find the reincarnated soul of the Dalai Lama. Moreover, you may see dressed-up Tibetan mastiffs, dogs, goats, and yaks there. It is optional for you to pay 5-10 yuan to pose with and take photos of them; for local Tibetans, it's a way to earn extra income for their families.

In the afternoon, drive about 1.5 hours (70km) to visit one of the most beautiful glaciers in Tibet - Karola Glacier, the filming location of the movie "Red Valley" (Hong He Gu). As one of Tibet's three major continental glaciers, backed by the southern slope of Naiqin Kangsang Peak (7,191 meters), one of the four highest peaks in Tibet, this white glacier is also the source of the eastern part of the Nianchu River. The Karola Glacier (5,012m) is only 300 meters away from the highway connecting Lhasa to Gyantse town, and you can view it right from your vehicle. You can also easily walk to the foot of the charming glacier, which has a shape like a frozen waterfall right above the road and you. Besides the fantastic hike to the Karola Glacier, on the opposite side of the road, you can appreciate the beautiful snow-capped mountain of Mt Kalurong.

After that, drive to Gyantse County for a look at the Gyantse Kumbum sitting inside the Pelkor Chode Monastery. Marvel at the 32-meter structure adorned with intricate carvings, sculptures, and frescoes and take a look at the stupa inside. Later, continue your driving (97km, 2 hours) to your hotel in Shigatse, the nearest town on the Friendship Highway between Tibet and Nepal. Have a good rest and get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to EBC the next day.

Notes for visiting Karola Glacier:
1. The altitude at the glacier scenic spot is about 5,012m, so be sure to slow down to avoid altitude sickness.
2. The public toilet at the glacier is very basic.
3. Local people may ask you to take photos with them for a fee. Be sure to ask before taking photos to avoid potential issues.

Altitude: 3650m | Distance: 340km, about 7 hours’ drive

This morning, you will pay a visit to Tashilunpo Monastery. After that, take a train (about 2.5 hours) or take a vehicle (about 8 hours, 340km) back to Lhasa.

Founded by His Holiness the 1st Dalai Lama, Gyalwa Gedun Drup in 1447, Tashilunpo Monastery is the largest monastery in Tsang Area of Tibet. In Tashilunpo Monastery, you can visit the traditional seat of successive Panchen Lamas, Tibet's second-highest incarnation. Pay a visit to the ancient tombs of the fourth and tenth Panchen Lama, as well as the chortens, which hold the bones and remains of the sacred Tibetan lamas. Learn more from your guide about Panchen Lamas and Dalai Lamas while appreciating the brilliant religious painting on Tibetan architecture, listening to the Tibetan Buddhism chanting by local monks, and even participating in the kora like locals. Don’t forget to hike up to the top of the monastery for a stunning bird’s eye view of the monastery itself and Shigatse City.

Afterward, head back to your hotel in downtown Lhasa for a good rest.
