Lhasa 3-Day Walking Tour Guide!

Ladies, Lhasa is truly a place you'll want to visit again and again! The sacred Potala Palace, the vibrant Barkhor Street, and the breathtaking Yamdrok Lake—every shot you take here is picture-perfect! I've painstakingly compiled this super comprehensive guide, so make sure to save it!

📍Must-Visit Attractions
🎇Potala Palace: The highest-altitude palace in the world, majestic and solemn. The photography spots here are incredible. The mirrored tiles in the square can capture a symmetrical reflection of the palace and the sky, while the Yaowang Mountain Viewing Platform offers the same view as the one on the 50 RMB banknote.
🛤️Barkhor Street: A street full of Tibetan charm. Popular photo spots include the entrance of Jokhang Temple, next to the prayer wheels, and the yellow corner building of Makye Ame. From the second floor of Xidu Coffee, you can even enjoy a distant view of the Potala Palace, creating a fantastic atmosphere.
🌊Yamdrok Lake: One of Tibet's three sacred lakes, with water as blue as a gemstone. The Gampa La Pass offers panoramic views, the mid-mountain No. 2 Viewing Platform provides unobstructed high-altitude shots of the lake, and the lakeside No. 3 Viewing Platform allows close interaction with the water, yaks, and seagulls.

🏠Accommodation Recommendation
Stay at the Lhasa Spring and Autumn Oxygen-Rich Hotel, located right next to the Potala Palace. The location is excellent—you can see the Potala Palace as soon as you step outside, and enjoy its night view in the evening. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the service is very attentive, making it perfect for travelers.

💡Travel Tips
Book your Potala Palace tickets online in advance to avoid delays. The journey to Yamdrok Lake is long, so bring some snacks and water. At Barkhor Street, you can rent Tibetan costumes for photos—remember to compare prices and negotiate for a better deal.
