Morning visit: The first day sightseeing begins with Lhasa's cardinal landmark- Potala Palace, a structure of massive portions.

Bustling with worshippers and redolent with mystery, the tour in Jokhang is an unrivalled experience.

This day's sightseeing begins with these white monastic buildings piled up on the hillside. Walking up to the hill is a pleasant thing, an easy break from the solemn ambience inside the halls and chapels. At the plat roof of hillside, you can have very good views of the whole Lhasa city and the distant mountains.Drepung is one of Lhasa's two great Gelugpa monasteries, the other is Sera.
