Traveling alone, staying in a hostel is a great choice, it's easy to meet new friends, chat about what you've seen and heard on the road, and it's convenient to join a group for outings!
day3️⃣-day4️⃣: Lhasa Shengtu Scenic Hotel (Potala Palace branch)
Highly recommended!!! Free laundry and drying machines, rooms with all-day oxygen and heating, rooftop view of the Potala Palace and sunset
