    Very grand. Hard to get tickets if you are a foreigner has to go through your tour guide (which is needed, July 2016) Can't take a photos inside, but over all it's very impressive.

    Potala palace will be the first thing that will make an assurance that you are in Tibet, if you are starting your Tibet tour from Lhasa. In stood towering above the old Lhasa area

    Officially on the UNESCO World Heritage list, it’s advisable to come early to photo out front before you reach your entry time. Even with a guide, there’ll be limited time to stop and talk once inside

    No photography inside the temple, and prepare to climb staircase all the way up. Oh ya, required passport to visit this place.

    The home of the Dalai Lama until 1959. Legend has it that the three main hill of Lhasa represent the three protectors of Tibet.

    Be prepared to climb steps - much like the Great Wall. If you are still acclimating, take it slowly.

    It's the great palace which was built by the King Songtsan Gampo thousands years ago for marrying Princess Wencheng from Tang Dynasty.

    Be prepared to climb. Not for the weak. No escalators or elevators or handicapped access. No shortcuts.
