Lhasa Sightseeing Tour

Lhasa is a unique and spiritual city.

After a thousand years of vicissitudes, it has managed to retain its ancient palace, thick with religious history, its ancient temples, relics and streets whilst simultaneously keeping pace with modern society.

Visitors have every reason to pay a visit when they come to Tibet.

On the way from the Gongkar Airport to Lhasa, you will see a simple but attractive temple north of the highway.

A little east of the temple is a giant carved Buddha, Nietang Buddha.The Buddha is a big draw for visitors before they enter the downtown. Everyone wants their photo taken here with the Buddha.

Surely every traveler must visit the Potala Palace during their visit. This palace is sacred in Tibetan people's hearts. Before entering the palace you must show your identification card or passport (in the case of foreign visitors). The entrance ticket should be bought beforehand and for non-Tibetan visitors it costs CNY 100 (Nov.1-Apr.30).

Another must-see attraction is the Jokhang Temple. It is surrounded by Barkhor Street in the center of Lhasa.

Being the spiritual center of the holy land, the temple is richly decorated with Tibetan features. It is where visitors can go to get a real taste of Tibetan culture.
