Pick-up and visit to Zhaojun Tomb, which was built for Wang Zhaojun, one of four famous beauties of ancient China and a maid in the imperial palace of the Emperor Yuan Di of the Han Dynasty.

It was said that the green grass on the huge tomb never turned yellow even in late autumn. Then visit Five Pagoda Temple, an important Tibetan Buddhist temple. More than 1560 relief sculptures of Buddhas are engraved on the five pagodas.
