Samye monastery locates in the north of the Yarlung Zangbo River and the foot of the holy mountain. It is difficult to get there, you must spend some energy.

 Firstly, you should get the Lhasa by the Qinghai-Tibet railway. And have a rest in the Lhasa; you must ready the whole day to have the Samye monastery journey in your China and Tibet travel. Take the bus from the Lhasa or the Tsedang to the ferry crossing of the Samye. If you set out from the Lhasa, It will take you 24 Yuan; also you will spend two to three hours to get the terminating station. Well, if you set out from the Tsedang, it will take you one hour to get there, and the spending is 7 Yuan. And then you will see the door named—the Samye beauty spot. You should get in the door and get the ferry crossing to take the boat. Sometimes, there are some people who are in the door and sell the ticket of the Samye monastery spot, you can regardless them. Surely, you would better go with the crowed and the located people. It will take one hour from the ferry crossing to the Samye monastery. And the ticket is decided by the number of the passenger, you will spend three to ten Yuan. Try to discuss with the boatman in private, maybe you can spend less money. Surely, if you are urgent to cross the river, you can charter boat. And the price is always same in the several years, one path for three hundred and eighty Yuan. And although the boat is simple and crude, it is seed enough. And it can have a capacity of sixty peoples. And after the boat, there is the vehicle which is willing to receive the people to the Samye monastery; it will spend you five Yuan. And the bus is comfortable and convenient. I think it will be well with the train travel from Chengdu to Lhasa, and better than the travel to Everest base camp. Although the road is terrible, the wind is strong, there is a lot of sand, but you will be exciting when you are in bus. The road, the view, the partner, all of the scene will be the memorable view in your journey.
