Lhasa Travel Guide

People come to Lhasa every year, but can you really have fun in Lhasa? Today, as a local, I am here to summarize my experience and ensure that you don’t step into any trap.

First of all, we recommend a few must-visit attractions

1. Potala Palace The Potala Palace was originally built by Songtsan Gambo to marry Princess Chizun and Princess Wencheng. After more than 1,300 years of continuous construction, the Potala Palace has become as majestic as it is today. The Potala Palace is mainly composed of the Red Palace and the White House. The highest Red Palace in the middle is an important place for religious ceremonies. The White House of the Zhou Dynasty is mainly for the Dalai Lama. Event venue opening hours: 9:00-15:40 Tickets: Princess "Potala Palace Official Platform" can be reserved 10 days in advance. Summer vacation is the peak season, so must be reserved in advance?

(There will be a 2 Tour number 100, less attractions, suitable for Baozi who really want to visit but can’t buy a ticket)

Off season: 100? Peak season: 200? Tour route?: Main entrance (south gate)? Snow Prison? Xuebalekong? Unmarked monument (where to buy tickets)? Tour the various palaces with the group

Ps:? After entering the Potala Palace, there is "no turning back", which means you cannot turn around. Guide: It is recommended to pay 50 yuan for a manual guide near the door. You can also rent an electronic guide (30 yuan per piece, deposit 100 yuan). You can rent it in the yard after entering the door or near the ticket office at the foot of the mountain (it feels like The Potala Palace needs to be explained. If you haven’t done your own homework, you may not understand it.) What is the camera location of the Potala Palace?: (It’s very photogenic)

The rooftop of Xingyue Bodhi Cafe

Potala Palace Square (in the middle of the square, towards the Potala Palace, there are several mirror-like floors. If you hold your phone/camera parallel to the ground, you will get a reflection effect in the water)

Yaowang Mountain Observation Deck

The top of Lhasa Villa

2. Yaowang Mountain is right next to the Potala Palace. There is an observation deck. The cloth is RMB 50. The background picture of Dala Palace was taken here. Before going, prepare a 50-yuan note, and then take a photo of it towards the Bu Palace, and you can get the same style. Address: Transportation on Norbulingka Road, Chengguan District, Lhasa City, Tibet Autonomous Region Strategy: You can take bus No. 13 or 14 and get off at Yaowangshan Vegetable Market Station. Opening hours: 7:00-19:00 Tickets: No tickets required, no reservation needed. Photography tips:

Many friends bring them specially When the banknotes arrived, I found that there was a focus problem. Either the banknotes were clear and the building was blurry, or the Potala Palace was clear and the banknotes were blurry. Here are three small methods for you, all of which have been personally tested and are very practical?

Use the wide-angle lens of your mobile phone. The wide-angle lens will not focus automatically. If your phone does not have a wide-angle lens, please see the second method

Adjust the iPhone focal length to 0.8 to easily get the perfect blockbuster

If you have previously Neither method worked, and there is an ultimate trick, jigsaw puzzle! That's right, focus on the 50 banknote first, then focus on the Potala Palace, and then cut out the puzzle

3. Jokhang Temple People often say, "First there was Jokhang Temple, and then there was Lhasa City." We have arrived at a place that lacks "oxygen" but does not lack faith, Lhasa! Went to Jokhang Temple, located in the old city of Lhasa! The Jokhang Temple is located in Barkhor Street, so you can check in together. Barkhor Street has a lot of food and cultural creations. The Jokhang Temple enshrines the 12-year-old life-size Buddha statue of Sakyamuni in Tibetan Buddhism. Opening hours: 8:00-18:00 Tickets: 85 yuan (make a reservation on the Princess Cruise one day in advance and purchase tickets with the reservation code) tips?:

Do not touch or take away cultural relics and murals at will. Smoking is not allowed, and photography is not allowed in some areas! (Take photos in the square and the first courtyard after entering. You can also take photos on the rooftop of the second floor.)

Be careful about what you wear. Shorts, short skirts and revealing clothes are not allowed.

You can wear hats and sunglasses, but they are not allowed indoors

Jokhang Temple does not light incense. You can buy butter at the door in advance and bring it in to fill the oil lamp

Lhasa food recommendations:

Ruyi Linka Yak Hot Pot (100Y per person)

It is recommended to line up an hour in advance. There are performances every day. The hot pot soup base is very fresh, and the highland barley cakes soaked in milk tea are delicious~ His family’s The portion is huge, enough for three people to eat for two people! It can be considered as the first meal in Lhasa to experience the charm of Tibetan food.

Xunshi·Tibetan set meal (58Y per capita)

A small shop decorated in a very Chinese style. Recommend the wild mushroom chicken soup noodles and braised tendon meat noodles. The soup is fresh and the meat is rotten. , delicious, each set meal comes with side dishes, yogurt and desserts, plus a seasonal cordyceps water, it’s really healthy!

Dolma Spicy Potato Shop in the city (small portion 5Y)

Also in the alley of Barkhor Street, the small portion is quite big! The freshly fried potatoes are just right in thickness, crispy on the outside, soft and waxy on the inside when you take a bite, and have the unique aroma of plateau potatoes, ready to be brewed!

Precautions when coming to Lhasa:

Be careful about sun protection:

Ultraviolet rays are strong in plateau areas and can easily cause sunburn and other skin problems. It is recommended to wear sunglasses, hats, apply sunscreen and take necessary protective measures.

Be physically prepared:

Carry out a health check-up before departure to understand whether your physical condition is suitable for plateau travel. If you have a history of chronic illness or acute illness, please consult your doctor and bring relevant medications.
