The Potala Palace is the highest palace in the word. It is the headquarters of the Dalai Lama, and a treasure house of traditional Tibetan culture. Yeah, It’s the first must-visit highlight of Tibet.

Visiting the Potala Palace need some physical force. It was built on Red Mountain in the centre of Lhasa Valley (3,700m above sea level),And you need climb up about 170 meters’ steps to visit it.

Every year, the Great Prayer Festival will be held in the Jokhang Temple. The rites of Dalai Lamas and Panchen Lamas’ initiation into lamahood are also held here.

The first Dalai Lama and a most outstanding disciple of Tsong Khapa founded Tashilhunpo Monastery in 1477. Tashilhunpo is the seat of the Panchen Lama since the Fourth Panchen Lama took charge in the monastery, and there are now nearly 800 lamas.Tashilunpo Monastery represents the Tibetan super architecture art in the Last Tibetan spirit.

The smiling face of Makye Ame from back of my mind looms up
