C) What to expect

1）Meet your guide at 9:00 AM at the entrance of the Lama Temple and begin the day with a guided visit through one of Beijing’s most important Tibetan Buddhist sites.

3）The afternoon shifts from observation to participation. Start with a Tibetan lunch, then try on traditional Tibetan clothing and explore the cultural corridor at your own pace. Later, join a Tibetan incense-making workshop led by a Tibetan teacher, where you will learn the basic process and shape your own incense by hand using the prepared materials.
4）To close the day, sit down for Tibetan afternoon tea with sweet tea and snacks while listening to cultural stories connected to everyday life and exchange routes. 5）The tour ends at 5:00 PM outside Tibet Hotel.
