黑豹ASera Monastery, officially known as "Sera Mahayana Monastery," is located at the foot of Sera Utse Mountain in the northern suburbs of Lhasa. It is one of the six principal monasteries of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, and along with Drepung Monastery and Ganden Monastery, is considered one of the three great monasteries of Lhasa. Construction began in the 17th year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty by Tsongkhapa's disciple Shakya Yeshe and was completed in 1434. The monastery houses the Tsokchen Hall, three large datsangs, and other buildings, housing tens of thousands of Buddha statues and numerous murals. Its unique Buddhist debates make it a vital venue for understanding Tibetan Buddhist culture.

妙珍88The valley carved out by the Lhasa River is one of the important birthplaces of Tibetan culture and the earliest settlement of Tibetan people. It has a relatively low altitude and beautiful natural scenery along the way.

云端5341This temple is where locals pray for wealth and make wishes. Every Wednesday, lines form early in the morning, stretching out into the street. Hours: Every Wednesday. (It's also open on weekdays, but less crowded.) Tips: 1. Bring two bottles of wine from the small shop near the temple. 2. Bring some one-yuan coins; if you don't have any, you can exchange them at the entrance for a small difference.

136***71The Jokhang Temple, nestled on the north side of Barkhor Street, boasts a golden roof, a blend of Han and Tibetan architecture, gleaming brilliantly in the highland sunlight. Walking slowly along the prayer corridor, the sound of chanting echoes with the melody of wind chimes. The ten large pillars on the ground floor are exquisitely carved, evoking a sense of Tibetan heritage. Within the hall, the Buddha statues are majestic, the butter lamps warm, and a moment of quiet prayer and prayer fades the hustle and bustle, leaving only peace and devotion.

米勒AND温A guided tour of Jokhang Temple is essential; otherwise, you'll be completely confused. The actual area open to the public is quite small, consisting of just one main hall containing a life-size statue of the 12-year-old Shakyamuni Buddha. When we entered, the monks were gilding it. The guide mentioned that you could also pay 2000 yuan to have the Buddha's robes changed, and removing the old robes would bring blessings. Inside, there's also a mandala similar to the one in the Potala Palace, made of 99% pure gold. This one seems newer, only a few years old, but the gold purity is high; the Potala's is said to be 70% pure. After the tour, you can go up to the second floor where there are chairs to rest and soak up the sun. Perhaps because of the Buddha's radiant light, my heart felt very peaceful at that moment.

M28***35The Red Palace is the core building of the Potala Palace and is located in the center of the palace. The building is a stone and wood structure as a whole, the outer wall is2-5 meters thick, the foundation is buried in the rock formation, and the granite masonry wall is reinforced with iron juice every other distance. The roof and window are wooden, with moths and bronze corrugated platinum, and the ridge is decorated with platinum Jing Building, Treasure Bottle, etc., which has the architectural style of Han-Tibet. As the Dalai Lama's spiritual pagoda and various Buddhist halls, there are 8 spiritual towers in the Red Palace, of which the five Dalai Lama's spiritual tower is the largest. In addition, there are important buildings such as Songzan Ganbu Xiufa Cave and Shusheng Sanjie Palace, which are dedicated to Songzan Ganbu, the statue of Princess Wencheng, and the portrait of Emperor Qianlong and the "Long live" brand. The columns and beams are covered with bright color paintings and gorgeous carvings, the interior corridors are interlaced, and the murals are rich in theme and are precious art treasures.

llw68A truly breathtaking performance, a must-see every time I visit Tibet. The actresses playing Princess Wencheng have changed many times, but my sincerity remains constant, haha 😃 I always bring a 50 RMB note with me when I go to Tibet. The "Line 1 and Line 2" part is a major drawback; this trip to the Potala Palace was the worst experience I've ever had.
4.8/5妙珍88The Yaowang Mountain Observation Deck is one of the best places to view the Potala Palace. It is located in a busy city and has convenient transportation. From here, you can see the same landscape as the background map of RMB 50. There are many tourists coming to check in every day.
4.7/5妙珍88Yaowang Mountain and its surrounding areas have now been transformed into Tuanjie Park, which is very large with a quiet environment, lush vegetation and beautiful scenery. Visitors can climb the mountain along the wooden plank road and overlook the entire Lhasa city.

实在不可爱Last September, I traveled to Tibet and made an advance reservation for a visit to the Tibet Museum. On the third day after arriving in Lhasa, I visited the museum, which is located in downtown Lhasa. From the upper terrace, you can overlook the Potala Palace. The museum has a rich collection, many of which are rich in local characteristics, and many of the pieces are not available elsewhere. It's a truly worthwhile museum to visit.
