JOY CHINA TOUR 2021
探秘世界的第三級
西藏深度7日遊
從拉薩驅車前往林芝，經318國道，打卡布達拉宮、大昭寺、甘丹寺、米拉山口、林芝八一鎮、色季拉山口、魯朗林海、巴松措湖泊雪山
第一天：抵達拉薩
當地導遊司機在機場舉牌接機送至酒店休息，適應當地海拔（約3650米）。
第二天：拉薩市內一日
早餐後遊覽布達拉宮，位於中國西藏自治區首府拉薩市區西北的瑪布日山上，布達拉宮是一座宮堡式建築群，最初是吐蕃王朝贊普松贊幹布為迎娶尺尊公主和文成公主而興建。於17世紀重建後，成為歷代達賴喇嘛的冬宮居所，為西藏政教合一的統治中心。整座宮殿具有藏式風格，高200餘米，外觀13層，實際只有9層。由於它起建於山腰，大面積的石壁又屹立如削壁，使建築仿佛與山崗融為一體，氣勢雄偉。
午飯後繼續遊覽大昭寺，位於拉薩老城區中心，是一座藏傳佛教寺院，是藏王松贊幹布建造，拉薩之所以有「聖地」之譽，就與這座佛像有關。寺廟最初稱「惹薩」，後來惹薩又成為這座城市的名稱，並演化成當下的「拉薩」。大昭寺融合了藏、唐、尼泊爾、印度的建築風格，成為藏式宗教建築的千古典範。寺前終日香火繚繞，信徒們虔誠的叩拜在門前的青石地板上留下了等身長頭的深深印痕。萬盞酥油燈長明，留下了歲月和朝聖者的痕跡。
隨後漫步八廓街，引又名八角街，位於拉薩市舊城區，是拉薩著名的轉經道和商業中心，較完整地保存了古城的傳統面貌和居住方式。八廓街原街道只是單一圍繞大昭寺的轉經道，藏族人稱為「聖路」。
第三天：拉薩市內遊覽
早餐後至藥王山觀景臺遊覽，這裡是布達拉宮的最佳拍攝處。
隨後前往羅布林卡。羅布林卡意為寶貝園林，始建於十八世紀40年代（達賴七世），是歷代達賴喇嘛消夏理政的地方，是一座典型的藏式風格園林。經過二百多年的擴建，全園佔地36萬平方米，園內有植物100餘種，不僅有拉薩地區常見花木，而且有取自喜馬拉雅山南北麓的奇花異草，還有從內地移植或從國外引進的名貴花卉，堪稱高原植物園。建築以格桑頗章、金色頗章、達登明久頗章為主體，有房374間，是西藏人造園林中規模最大、風景最佳的、古蹟最多的園林。
最後遊覽色拉寺。全稱「色拉大乘寺」，藏傳佛教格魯派六大主寺之一。與哲蚌寺、甘丹寺合稱拉薩三大寺，是三大寺中建成最晚的一座。位於拉薩北郊3千米處的色拉烏孜山麓，周圍柳林處處，自古就是高僧活佛講經說法之地，有許多僧尼小寺環繞其間，寺東和寺南有普布覺寺、米瓊熱尼庫寺、貢巴薩寺、帕奔崗寺、扎西曲林寺、曲桑寺、嘎麗尼姑寺；寺後還有珠康日卻、色拉卻頂寺等等。
第四天：拉薩-甘丹寺-林芝 410公裡/4.5-5小時車程
早餐後前往林芝，途中參觀甘丹寺。甘丹寺是黃教六大寺中地位最特殊的一座寺廟，它是由藏傳佛教格魯派的創始人宗喀巴於1409年親自籌建的，可以說是格魯教派的祖寺，清世宗曾賜名為永壽寺，與哲蚌寺、色拉寺合稱拉薩「三大寺」，清世宗曾賜名為永壽寺。位於拉薩市達孜區境內拉薩河南岸海拔3800米的旺波日山上。旺波日山猶如一頭臥伏的巨象，馱載著布滿山坳、規模龐大的建築群，充分體現出傳統藏傳佛教寺院建築因地制宜，寺廟傍山而立，群樓重疊，巍峨壯觀。
隨後經318國道前往林芝首府八一鎮，途中打卡米拉山口。海拔5013米，米拉山口常年積雪，發育有遠古時期冰川活動遺蹟。站在山口，山風勁吹，藍天白雲下，五彩經幡在大地與蒼穹之間飄蕩搖曳，連地接天，將藏民們虔誠的願望傳達上蒼神靈。最後入住八一鎮。
第五天：林芝 （八一鎮-魯朗林海）
早餐後，經色季拉山口（4728米），前往著名的魯朗林海。魯朗藏語意為「龍王谷」，位於被譽為「雪域瑞士」 的西藏林芝地區林芝縣魯朗鎮境內，距八一鎮80公裡左右的川藏公路南路（318國道）上，座落在深山老林之中，處於雅魯藏布江大峽谷湧入的印度洋水氣帶，海拔2700－4200米屬高原溫暖半溼潤氣候，素有「西藏江南」美稱。
魯朗林海是一處雲山霧海裡的森林，有「叫人不想家的」的美譽，整個景點如詩如畫，周邊雪山林立，溝內森林蔥籠，林間還有整齊如人工修剪般的草甸，許多民居修建在這山環水復的天上森林，周邊溪流蜿蜒，有成千上萬種野花競相開放，簡直就是人間天堂。
第六天：林芝 （八一鎮-巴松措）
早上遊覽有「世界巨柏王」之稱巨柏林，位於雅魯藏布江和尼洋河下遊海拔3000米至3400米的沿江河谷裡。巨柏自然保護區散布生長著數百棵千年古柏，塔形的樹冠以及挺拔的樹幹十分惹眼，這即是西藏特有的古樹——巨柏（亦稱為雅魯藏布江柏木）。林芝縣古柏林在當地藏族群眾心目中是聖地，傳說苯教開山祖師辛饒米保的生命樹即是古柏，所以林中那些最大最古老的樹身上總是纏掛著風馬，樹林中還到處是瑪尼堆，常有信徒遠道前來朝拜。
隨後車程約2小時前往巴松措。巴松措又名措高湖，藏語中是「綠色的水」的意思，長約18公裡，湖面面積約27平方公裡，最深處達120米，湖面海拔3480米，是西藏海拔最低的大湖。景區內森林密布，集雪山、湖泊、森林、瀑布牧場、文物古蹟、名勝古剎為一體，景色殊異，四時不同，名類野生珍稀植物匯集，實為人間天堂，有「小瑞士」美譽。
第七天：林芝-離開
