Adjacent to the Potala Palace! Experience the wonderful fusion of nature and faith

The Potala Palace is located on Marpo Ri hill in the northwest of Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, at an altitude of 3700 meters. The main building consists of the White Palace and the Red Palace. As it is built on the side of the hill, and the vast expanse of stone walls stand as if cliffs, the architecture seems to merge with the hillside, creating an imposing presence. Be sure to take the opportunity to admire the majestic Potala Palace and the magnificent mountains, and catch a glimpse of the diverse charm of Lhasa city. The hotel is situated in the city center, approximately an 8-minute walk from the Potala Palace, adjacent to the Norbulingka Summer Palace and the Tibet Museum, among others. Stepping into Shangri-La, from the grand chandelier in the shape of a bell in the lobby to the Tibetan-style decorations in the details, one can feel the mystery and profundity of the Tibetan religious symbols, commanding respect. The hotel also has a diffused oxygen bar with 24-hour professional oxygen supply. 🏨 The hotel is built in Tibetan style and has a variety of modern rooms. The rooms, full of Tibetan charm, are equipped with oxygen generators and humidifiers, allowing you to lie flat for a couple of days to adjust your physical condition. The rooms are decorated with brightly colored, exquisitely decorated cloud scrolls, auspicious knots, and Gesang flowers, conveying the local Tibetan atmosphere. Without leaving the room, you can see the Potala Palace, lie in bed and watch the sun rise over the mountain top, gradually illuminating the Potala Palace. Under the light, the Palace shows different extraordinary charms at each hour, until night falls and the Palace is draped in neon, becoming even more magnificent. The featured restaurant Xianggong offers authentic Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine, with highly recommended dishes such as crispy red rice sausages, soft and glutinous chicken feet, and crispy fish-flavored shrimp balls. The all-day Yunding Restaurant offers buffet-style dining with a variety of local and Western dishes. There are also the Shambhala and Traveler's Lounge, which introduce Tibetan local flavored barbecues and specially crafted drinks. There is also an indoor swimming pool, gym, spa, traveler's bar, and more.
