Lhasa hotels like a local.
You come to Lhasa for a respectful, high-altitude city stay shaped by pilgrimage routes, palace roofs, sweet-tea houses and Tibet’s most significant historic sites.
About Lhasa
Lhasa is the capital and main urban centre of the Tibet Autonomous Region, with its old city centred in Chengguan District at about 3,650 metres above sea level. That altitude affects your first-day plans, so you should choose a practical hotel area, walk slowly and avoid overloading the itinerary. The main historic sights are close together by Lhasa standards: the UNESCO-listed Historic Ensemble of the Potala Palace, Lhasa includes the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple and Norbulingka, reflecting the city’s political, religious and cultural importance.
