Lhasa Attractions - Lhasa Sightseeing List

Lhasa is one of the most striking and attractive cities in the world. This is not just because of the fact that it stands at a dizzying 3,600 meters above sea level (causing many travellers a dizzy introduction to its delights), but also owing to its various cultural sites gathered over its rich 1,300 year history and the venerable culture of religion that still permeates.

The city of Lhasa is noted for its beautiful landscapes, centuries-old history, unique culture and local customs, as well as its religious flavour and many places of historical interest. Besides the famous Polata Palace, Barkhor Street, Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery, and Norbulingka, there is  also the miraculous and beautiful Namtso Lake as well as the romantic and cosy Yangbajing Hot Spring, to name but a few.
