Today i visited Lhasa sometimes spelt Llasa, this is the traditional capital of Tibet and the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. The city is the traditional seat of the Dalai Lama and the Potala and Norbulingka palaces and in Tibetan Buddhism is regarded as the holiest centre in Tibet. The city is home to about 255,000 inhabitants and, at an altitude of approximately 3,650 m, is one of the highest cities in the world. Lhasa literally means "place of the gods", although ancient Tibetan documents and inscriptions demonstrate that the place was first called Rasa, which means "courtyard place" or "goat place". Visiting Lhasa was very insightful! i thoroughly enjoyed myself, lunch was amazing! I purchased a pair of sandals here! the service was amazing! the little ladies were so sweet! Here's more pictures!
