Tibet Surrounding Tour | Lhasa Potala Palace Travel Guide

I've been in Tibet for two days! Here are some tips to avoid pitfalls💣 1️⃣On the second day, we visited Jokhang Temple and Potala Palace, both of which require advance reservation! You can book Potala Palace a week in advance, and Jokhang Temple one day in advance. 2️⃣Potala Palace is free of charge during the off-season, while Jokhang Temple has an entrance fee of 🎫85. The temple is not very big, and if you just have a quick look around, it will take about 10 minutes to visit. It is recommended to spend 💰50 for a guide to get a more detailed understanding. 3️⃣It is suggested to visit Jokhang Temple on a Sunday. We were lucky to go on a Sunday when pilgrims are not allowed inside the temple, making it much less crowded. 4️⃣From Barkhor Street to Jokhang Temple, there are many pilgrims along the way, and it is generally not appropriate to take photos. 5️⃣Overall, I think Jokhang Temple is definitely worth a visit. If faith has a sound, it would be deafening here. It's here that I finally understood why Tibet is so healing for the soul. 6️⃣Before entering Potala Palace, it is advisable to buy a bottle of cola or glucose, as you will be climbing uphill and it's easy to get short of breath! 7️⃣The best spots for checking in at Potala Palace are at the Yaowang Mountain Viewing Platform and Potala Palace Square. It is recommended to come on a sunny day! It will look even better! 8️⃣If you want to take a photo in Tibetan costume, it's better to do it at noon or early afternoon! The sunlight is more beautiful then! We originally planned to take photos in Tibetan costumes after visiting Potala Palace, but by the time we came out at three o'clock, the light was no longer very good🥹 9️⃣Make sure to keep up your strength! Drink plenty of water! 1️⃣0️⃣Today, I'm going on a group tour to Nyingchi, and I'll continue to share with you all~
