What are the tourist attractions in Lhasa, Tibet?
Last time, I introduced the delicious food that can't be missed when traveling to Lhasa. Today, I introduced the scenic spots that can't be missed when traveling to Lhasa.
Yanghu and Namco belong to the Zhou Bianyou of Lhasa, so I won't introduce them in this article, but only the local scenic spots in Lhasa.
1. Potala Palace-Bugong Square-prayer wheel-Houshan Park
Tickets for Potala Palace in peak season are RMB 111 in low season, and Tibetans don't need to buy tickets.
It is said that if you go to Lhasa, you will regret not going to Potala Palace, and if you go, you will regret it even more.
Especially if you don't ask a tour guide to explain it, and only see the heads and golden pagodas, you will feel that it is not worth the entrance fee, but if you follow the tour guide carefully, you will find that every object has its own history and story.
After seeing the Bugong Palace, you can follow the Tibetan people to turn the scriptures along the prayer wheel around the Potala Palace. When you turn to this side, you can go to the Yak Yogurt Shop to drink yogurt.
along the prayer wheel to the back of Bugong is a park with pavilions, lakes and geese, which is very beautiful in winter.
right in front of the Potala Palace is a big square, and there will be a fountain at night. There is also a park next to the square. When it is calm, the Potala Palace is shown on the lake like a dream.
Jokhang Temple-Square-Barkhor Street
Jokhang Temple Square and Barkhor Street are the busiest places in Lhasa, so many people turn around in the peak season that they may not find their companions.
During the day, you can sit in a daze at the entrance of Jokhang Temple, watch people coming and going, watch the ups and downs of kowtowing people, and walk along Barkhor Street at night to see the most beautiful night view of Lhasa.
3. Sera Temple
There is a debate on the Sutra at Sera Temple around 3 pm, which is open to the public. Although it is incomprehensible, it is worth seeing.
After listening to the debate, you can go to the back hill of Sera Temple to see the sunset and the panoramic view of Lhasa.
Fourth, Lhasa River
If there is no Lhasa River, I always feel that Lhasa on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is too strong, because Lhasa River has become a lot more tender.
In the evening, you can feel the quiet side of Lhasa by watching the sunset of Lhasa River quietly.
v. Tibet Museum
Everywhere I go, I like to visit the local museum first, learn about the local history, and then visit the scenic spots, which will be more rewarding and touching.
Vi. Chongsaikang Market
The largest wholesale market for small commodities in Lhasa has all kinds of commodities from south to north, as well as commodities from neighboring countries Nepal and India. Food, clothing and use are all available.
VII. Yaowang Mountain
The best place to shoot the Potala Palace. Many master's blockbusters were produced in this place.
8. drepung monastery
is located on the Genpeiwu Mountain-South Slope, 11 kilometers west of Lhasa, with an altitude of 3,811 meters. It is built along the mountain-layer by layer, with a panoramic view of Lhasa. In the morning, it is a good place to take the morning photos of Lhasa.

Here you can stay away from all the troubles, turn around, feel in a daze, drink a pot of sweet tea, eat a bowl of Tibetan noodles and chat with Tibetans. It is a very good relaxation. Although there are many good teahouses in the city, they are always too noisy. And here is calm and serene.
