去西藏前，在成都待了五天，素有「天府之國」之稱的成都，擁有超過 4500 年的歷史，從西元前 311 年的戰國時期，秦國在這裡築城，2300 多年來城址未遷、城名未改，是少數延續至今的千年古都。
這段時間的藝文展覽圈，許多人都在為「故宮」、「國寶」、「龍藏經」和「七世福報」瘋狂。
其實，不用排 3 個小時的隊，也不用搞懂新的預約系統，到故宮南院就有機會悠悠哉哉獨享《龍藏經》。

Often regarded as the cradle of Tibetan civilization, it is home to many "firsts" in Tibet, including Tibet's first palace, Yumbulakang Palace; its first monastery, Samye Monastery; and Yamdrok Lake, one of Tibet's three sacred lakes.
Tibet has always been near the top of my travel bucket list. During a trip to Nepal two years ago, I visited a Tibetan refugee settlement in Pokhara, where I had the opportunity to meet and talk with Tibetans living in exile. That experience deepened my desire to one day set foot in Tibet. This year, I finally fulfilled one of my long-held dreams.
In the cosmology of Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and Bon, there is only one mountain regarded as the center of the world: Mount Kailash, located in the Ngari region of western Tibet.
For travelers from Taiwan, there are two ways to enter Tibet: by plane or by train. I had heard that the scenery between Xining and Lhasa is breathtaking, so for this trip to Tibet and Mount Kailash, I decided to “enter Tibet by train and leave by plane.” I’ve put together seven practical tips about taking the Qinghai–Tibet Railway for anyone planning a trip to Tibet:
5 月時前往西藏 14 天，完成西藏聖山岡仁波齊轉山，是我人生中非常難忘的旅程。
