I bought a lot of souvenirs at Barkhor Street Lhasa. Most of them were small gifts to my friends. I only left few for myself.
I love these Tibetan souvenirs, They are so beautiful, And cheap too.

It’s only 20 minutes’ walk from my hotel to Barkhor Street. I went there almost everyday when I was lived in Lhasa.
I think it’s the most comprehensive place of Tibet. You can meet Living-Buddhas or beggars, religious pilgrims or thieves there, You also find the most rare precious stone or cheapest counterfeits there too.

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.

We cost 2 days from Everest Base Camp(5200m above sea level) back to Lhasa（3650m above sea level).
The landscape along this road is specially wonderful and diverse. That’s the part of charm of Qingzang Altiplano, the Roof of the World.

It’s the seventh day since we arrived Tibet.
After a night’s rest near Rongbuk Monastery, I was already seasoned with the altitude (5200 meters above the sea leavel). And I found it’s so easy to reach the Everest Base Camp by cross country vehicle.
But was it a good news?

Nyetang Buddha(Niedang Buddha) was the first buddha I visited in Tibet.
It’s said Nyetang Buddha can not only bless you, but also can help you resist Altitude sickness.

When we backed Lhasa from the base campe of Everest, the altitude was no longer the prolem.

It’s the name of book written by Jon Krakauer. The Full name is Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster.Before I climbed the Haba snow mountain in October 2003, I brought this book. It was recommend by a famous enterpriser named Wangshi. We went Haba snow mountain together with him. Wangshi reached the peak of the Everest early that year. He said this was the best reading if you want know something about snow mountain adventure.

I don’t know the right English name of this Western Food Bar, It’s means Storm Troops Camp in Chinese. The boss, Nima RenCi is very famous people. He had reached the peak of Everest, And he has a famous local mountaineering School.
