The Potala Palace in Lhasa may not be what you imagine|On the road trip

👍️Recommendation Reason: The Potala Palace is the highest palace-temple complex in the world. It was built by the Tibetan leader Songtsen Gampo to marry Princess Wencheng. From this perspective, it can be understood as Princess Wencheng's bridal chamber. Perhaps due to cultural differences between Han and Tibetan regions, the visit feels more grand than sweet and happy. It actually has many functions, not only as a temple for worship but also as an office for important functional institutions. It is said that its white outer walls are splashed with milk. When driving to Tibet, it is a must-visit place. But everyone says to come here to cleanse the soul, I advise you not to have too many expectations. The soul cannot be shaken by seeing grand buildings and visiting temples once or twice. 📅Travel Tips: It is located at an altitude of 3700 meters, with no elevators, so you must walk slowly to avoid discomfort caused or aggravated by intense exercise. Some corridors inside the building are narrow, crowded, and poorly ventilated, which can cause discomfort. Do not be careless. If you feel chest tightness or discomfort, find a place to sit nearby or sit on the outdoor steps. If you can follow a guide, you will gain more knowledge than visiting on your own. Do not make loud noises and respect local customs and culture. You can prepare some small change, as the cost-effectiveness of exchanging change with scalpers at the entrance is low. 🏨Accommodation Tips: There are many homestays and hotels in Tibet. It is recommended to find a reliable hotel to stay in. If choosing a homestay, be sure to find one with a good reputation and do not be greedy for cheap prices. 💗Other Tips: Always pay attention to your physical condition. Playing in high-altitude areas should not be taken lightly. When driving at high altitudes, the power of the vehicle may be slightly weaker, which is a natural phenomenon.
