If you only have one chance to choose, it must be the City of the Sky, Lhasa~.

Lhasa is rich in tourism resources. Here is a detailed introduction for you: Recommended attractions - Potala Palace: As a landmark building in Lhasa, it is the highest and most magnificent palace in the world. The architecture is grand and spectacular, and it houses a large number of cultural relics and artworks. Tickets must be booked in advance. - Jokhang Temple: Located in the center of Lhasa, it is the earliest wooden structure in Tibet. The 12-year-old statue of Sakyamuni enshrined in the temple is the object of pilgrimage for many believers. The surrounding Barkhor Street is also a must-visit place for tourists. - Norbulingka: This is a good place to escape the summer heat. The garden is full of flowers and greenery, with many palaces, pavilions, and waterside pavilions, as well as a large number of relics and treasures. - Tibet Museum: If you want to learn about the history, culture, customs, and humanities of Tibet, this is the best choice. The basic exhibits comprehensively introduce Tibet from multiple dimensions. - Namtso: One of the three holy lakes in Tibet, the scenery is beautiful, the lake is blue, and the distant snow-capped mountains complement each other, making people intoxicated. - Drepung Monastery: One of the three major monasteries of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, and also the largest monastery in the world, with many buildings. The Buddha exhibition ceremony during the Shoton Festival every year attracts a large number of believers and tourists. Precautions - Altitude sickness: Lhasa is at a high altitude, and newcomers are prone to altitude sickness. Exercise appropriately before the trip, maintain a calm mind after arrival, avoid strenuous exercise, and follow the principle of "slow walking, eating less, and drinking more water". If the symptoms are severe, seek medical attention in time. - Climate and clothing: The temperature difference between day and night in Lhasa is large. The temperature is high during the day in summer, so you need to prepare a thin coat; it is cold in winter, so you need to wear warm clothes. In addition, the sunlight here is strong, and the ultraviolet radiation is high, so you need to bring sunscreen products. - Customs: Most of the locals are Tibetans, and their customs and religious beliefs should be respected. When entering religious places such as temples, do not take photos, make noise, or touch religious objects at will. - Food hygiene: The diet is mainly Tibetan specialties, such as butter tea, tsampa, yak meat, etc. You should taste them in moderation, avoid overeating, and pay attention to food hygiene.
