When you are in Lhasa, plan to visit its grand and mysterious palaces and monasteries.</p> <p>The greatest and highest palace in the world, the Potala Palace , can be seen from every corner of Lhasa. This grand palace on Red Hill, on the northwest outskirts of Lhasa, silently overlooks the hustle and bustle life of ordinary people. You must buy your tickets for a tour early because there are only 850 people admitted each day. And also you have to show your passport or ID card when purchasing because there is a rule: one card, one ticket! After your tour, you can walk to Norbulingka , the former Summer Palace of the Dalai Lamas, to enjoy a beautiful view of Lhasa. The palace is now a park opened to both locals and visitors.</p> <p>Later, you can take No.401 or 402 buses to get to Sera Monastery , which is famous for its monks' debates. A debate begins at 3 P.M. every day. Hundreds of monks gather in the garden to practice and debate Buddhism with others. If locals permit, you can also visit the nearby site of the Sky Burial , located on Tatipu Hill behind the Sera Monastery.</p> <p>If you are coming to Lhasa during the Shoton Festival which begins on the 30th of the 6th Tibetan month, you should not miss Drepung Monastery . Take a taxi or No. 3 bus to the monastery; you will be amazed by the giant image of Buddha unfolded on the hill. Thousands of pilgrims worship the Buddha devoutly by offering virgin white Hadas and flowers.</p> <p>Jokhang Temple in the center of old Lhasa is also a must-see. Since the holy statue of Sakyamuni (aged 12) has been enshrined in the temple, pilgrims from all over the world surround and worship it every day and night. Barkhor Street around the Jokhang Temple was originally founded by early pilgrims. In this typical traditional Tibetan residential area full of stores, restaurants, hostels, visitors, and of course, thousands of religious pilgrims, the ancient street offers anything you might want to buy. Bargaining with the stall-keepers is expected, and another fun part of your visit.</p> <p>Other Buddhist monasteries scattered around Lhasa, such as Ganden Monastery , Ramoche Monastery , and Tsurphu Monastery , make the city a mysterious and sacred place. Tibet Museum in the southeast part of Norbulingka and the Site of Qugong Culture well preserve thousands of precious cultural relics of ancient Lhasa.</p> <p>After sightseeing in Lhasa City, you can take a coach from the Lhasa Bus Station to Yangpachen . Bathe in the hot springs and relax. You will forget the hustle and bustle of modern cities.</p> <p><br /> Attractions List<br /> Barkhor Street <br /> Chakpori Hill (Yao Wang Shan) <br /> Drepung Monastery <br /> Ganden Monastery <br /> Jokhang Temple <br /> Lhasa Great Mosque (Hebalin Mosque) <br /> Nietang Buddha <br /> Norbulingka <br /> Potala Palace <br /> Ramoche Monastery <br /> Sera Monastery <br /> Site of Qugong Culture (Qoigung Ruins) <br /> Tibet Museum <br /> Tibetan Traditional Hospital <br /> Tsurphu Monastery <br /> Yangpachen<br /> &nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="pagebreak">page:<strong><a href="../Html/2007918101629-1.Html">[1]page</a>&nbsp;</strong></div> <div id="txtBottom"> <span>[<A href="javascript:doPrint()"> Printing</A>] [<A class=black href="javascript:window.close()">Closure</A>]</span> </div><!--/ txtBottom--> <div id="next" style="margin-left:20px;"> <div> <p> <span style="font-size:12px; font-weight:bold;">More Information Related to In-google</span></p> <ul> <xoYu_CMS_CODE:NEWS:NEWS_TOP><a title="Land Closest to the Sun" href="../Html/20071181529-1.Html">Land Closest to the Sun</a><p><a title="Economic Development and Improvement of Living Standards " href="../Html/2007101014654-1.Html">Economic Development and Improvement of Living Standards </a><p><a title="The People Enjoy Political Rights " href="../Html/2007101014542-1.Html">The People Enjoy Political Rights </a><p><a title="The People Gain Personal Freedom " href="../Html/2007101014357-1.Html">The People Gain Personal Freedom </a><p><a title="Attractions in Lhasa" href="../Html/2007918101629-1.Html">Attractions in Lhasa</a><p><a title="A Tibetan restaurant in New Delhi" href="../Html/200791713815-1.Html">A Tibetan restaurant in New Delhi</a><p><a title="Preface" href="../Html/200794152014-1.Html">Preface</a><p><a title="An Unpolluted and Beautiful City" href="../Html/200781174256-1.Html">An Unpolluted and Beautiful City</a><p><a title=" Administrative division and natural resources" href="../Html/20078117418-1.Html"> Administrative division and natural resources</a><p><a title="the introduction about Lhasa" href="../Html/200781173550-1.Html">the introduction about Lhasa</a><p><a title="origin of tibet calendar" href="../Html/200641125555-1.Html">origin of tibet calendar</a><p><a title="ANCIENT MEGALITHIC RUINS " href="../Html/200641124359-1.Html">ANCIENT MEGALITHIC RUINS </a><p><a title="Pulu Fabric" href="../Html/200632818529-1.Html">Pulu Fabric</a><p><a title="Tibetan Wooden Bowls" href="../Html/200632818436-1.Html">Tibetan Wooden Bowls</a><p><a title="Tibetan Boots" href="../Html/200632818050-1.Html">Tibetan Boots</a><p><a title="Tibetan Knives" href="../Html/200632817563-1.Html">Tibetan Knives</a><p><a title="Tibet Masks" href="../Html/2006324191521-1.Html">Tibet Masks</a><p><a title="Rivers And Mountains" href="../Html/2006324185616-1.Html">Rivers And Mountains</a><p><a title="Population and Population Density " href="../Html/2006323171815-1.Html">Population and Population Density </a><p><a title="Tibet People " href="../Html/200632317959-1.Html">Tibet People </a><p></xoYu_CMS_CODE:NEWS:NEWS_TOP></ul> </div> </div> </div> <!--/ leftMainContent--> </div><!--/ leftMain--> <div id="rightMain"> <div id="thisformdiv"> <form action=" http://www.tibettravel.org/tibettravel/order/order_save.asp" method="post" id="thisform" name="myform" onSubmit="return check()"> <fieldset> <legend>Want a Quick Answer?</legend> <p><label for="name" accesskey="9">Name:&nbsp;</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="Fullname" tabindex="1"></p> <p> <label for="email">Email:&nbsp;</label> <input type="text" id="email" name="Email"tabindex="2"></p> <p> <label for="request">Your Request</label> <input type="text" value="3" name="type1" style="display:none" /> <input type="text" value="Quick Book" name="title" style="display:none" /> <label> <textarea name="content" id="text1" rows="3" onBlur="if (value ==''){value='Question not answered?
