Live Your Best Lives
As the capital of Tibet, Lhasa is the place with the best conditions in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is also the economic and cultural center of Tibet. More importantly, it is a world-famous Tibetan Buddhist holy place.
Lhasa is profound and open. It not only retains its own mysterious charm, but also quickly absorbs colorful foreign cultures. You can take a quick look at it, or you can explore it in depth. But no matter where you come from or what kind of mood you have, its rich exotic customs will immediately hit your heart. And the unforgettable blue sky and the white clouds that seem to be within reach are probably impossible to resist.
Barkhor Street: The old city of Lhasa, a famous prayer wheel, and also a gathering place for special foods and special products.
Beijing East Road: The main road running through Lhasa from east to west. The famous Potala Palace and Barkhor Street are located along this road. It is also a gathering place for many backpackers.
Xianzu Island: An island in the middle of the Lhasa River in the southern part of Chengguan District. The island is famous for its nearly 100 family inns. Many Tibetans and Lhasa drifters hang out here, making it another major tourist accommodation area in Lhasa.
The peak tourist season in Tibet is from May to October, with the peak in July and August, and the same is true for Lhasa. However, the impact of seasons on traveling in Lhasa is not particularly large, so friends who are not very demanding about the temperature can also choose a slightly quieter time to travel.
The temperature in Lhasa is high in summer, so you don't need to wear too much. But if you want to go to Namtso and other surrounding areas and stay overnight, you need to prepare fleece jackets or even down jackets. Lhasa is cold in winter, so you need to bring down jackets, scarves, gloves, hats and other warm clothes. The temperature difference between day and night in Lhasa is quite large, so be careful to add or remove clothes appropriately.
The consumption index in Lhasa is slightly lower than that of first-tier cities. A full meal in a general restaurant costs about 30-40 yuan per person, and the price of an ordinary standard room is about 200 yuan per night, but the tickets for scenic spots are expensive. For a 2-day tour, 1,000 yuan can meet all your needs.
As the "Eye of Tibet", it has now become the real center of Lhasa and a holy place for believers to worship.
In the ancient temple with a long history, you can feel the piety in your heart under the influence of the Vajra Buddha statues and the debate ceremony.
