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.

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