Lhasa Attractions and Food Guide|||Attractions🏞️ Potala Palace🏰 Must-see: As Lhasa's landmark building, the Potala Palace is not only magnificent but also has profound religious and cultural significance. Remember to book your tickets in advance. Tickets are CNY 100/person during the off-season.🎫 Tips: Climbing the Potala Palace can be tiring, so it's recommended to bring a portable oxygen tank.💨 Photography is not allowed inside the palace, but every corner is worth savoring.📸 Barkhor Street🛍️ Must-see: This street is full of Tibetan charm and a wide variety of small commodities, but the prices can be a bit high. For more affordable options, you can visit the Barkhor Mall.🛍️ Don't forget to check out the cafes on Barkhor Street and the photo spot at Chakpori Hill for some great pictures!📷 Jokhang Temple🏯 Must-see: Located within Barkhor Street, the Jokhang Temple is a sacred place for Tibetan Buddhist believers.

Sweet tea is made by boiling milk and tea leaves. It tastes similar to Assam milk tea and is perfect for savoring.😋 Tibetan Noodles🍜 Recommended shops: Same as sweet tea houses Features: Tibetan noodles have a unique taste but are served in small portions. Enjoy them with sweet tea for an authentic Lhasa breakfast combo.🍜 Nepalese Food🍛 Recommended shops: Nepalese restaurants in the alleys of Barkhor Street, Nepalese restaurant on the top floor of the Tara Palace Hotel Features: Due to its geographical advantage, Lhasa offers authentic Nepalese cuisine. We recommend pizza, beef curry, and Nepalese cheese dumplings – you can't go wrong with these!🍕🍛 Tibetan Food🍲 Recommended shops: Lamu Tibetan Restaurant, Tashi Dele Features: Tibetan cuisine emphasizes light and balanced flavors. We recommend potato dumplings, blood sausage, and grilled lamb chops. At Tashi Dele, you can also try their signature dish, Tashi Dele (barley cake topped with yogurt and raisins), and butter-roasted mushrooms.🍲 Lulang Stone Pot Chicken🍲 Recommended shops: Stone pot chicken restaurants near Xuexin Village Road Features: With fragrant chicken soup, nourishing chicken meat, and delicious mushrooms, a bowl of this chicken soup is both nourishing and delicious. This restaurant doesn't add MSG, relying solely on the ingredients themselves for a naturally delicious flavor.🍲 Street Snacks🍢 Recommended: Fried potatoes, cold noodles, Tibetan yogurt Features: Lhasa's streets offer a wide variety of affordable snacks. Freshly fried potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, coated with salt, pepper, chili powder, and sesame seeds – incredibly fragrant! Don't miss out on other snacks like cold noodles and Tibetan yogurt.🍟🥗🍶 We hope this Lhasa attractions & snacks guide is helpful. Have a wonderful time in Lhasa!🎉
