Tibet- Lhasa


While most of Lhasa looks like a typical Chinese city, there still remains an oldish quarter around Jokhang Temple. Hundreds, maybe thousands of people keep wandering around this sacred place for religious purposes at any time of the day. For us, this is a perfect opportunity to observe them and take pictures. If something remains Tibetan in Lhasa, you may find it here.
The other main attraction of Lhasa is undoubtfully Potala Palace, former home of the actual Dalai Lama. Today it looks more like a museum and visiting groups are scheduled by the hour. Still, the dominance of the building is impressive.
