What is there to do in Lhasa this season? Viewing peach blossoms is a great choice. Want to know where the best places are to view flowers in Lhasa? Just follow me! 📍 Transportation: We recommend driving yourself. 🌟 Trip highlights: ✅ Pabonka Monastery: A top flower-viewing destination in the northern suburbs of Lhasa. The ancient peach trees in the monastery are hundreds of years old and blend in with the red and white Tibetan-style courtyard walls, making it a great place for photos. ✅ Chubsang Temple: Only a few steps away from Pabonka Monastery, most of the visitors here are devout locals. There are not many peach trees here, and they are mainly distributed in front of the houses, which is very down-to-earth. ✅ Cijiao Lin: Located in the suburbs of Lhasa, it is also the "wildest" existence in Lhasa. Along the way are local villages, full of life. You can see the Potala Palace in the distance, which is so beautiful. ✅ Sera Monastery: One of the most famous monasteries in Lhasa, located in the city center. It is also known as the local paradise of wisdom. If you want to admire the peach blossoms, you can go up the mountain behind Sera Monastery, where you can photograph peach trees and sheep. ✅ Gunba Sha: A small temple located on the North Ring Road of Lhasa, with almost no tourists visiting. There are not many peach trees here, but they are in excellent condition. In addition to the Potala Palace, you can also see the Lalu Wetlands in the distance. 🌈 Travel tips: ✅ The peak blooming period for peach blossoms in Lhasa is from the end of March to mid-April, and it is still the peak blooming period now. It is recommended to wear plain clothes or Tibetan clothes and avoid wearing brightly colored clothes. ✅ Pabonka Monastery does not charge admission fees and is far from the bus station. There are more tourists on weekends, so it is recommended to go on a working day morning. The ancient peach trees with Tibetan architecture as the background will be more photogenic. ✅ At Zhuoji Resort near Cijiao Lin, you can also take photos of the Potala Palace and peach blossoms in the same frame. Along the resort, you can also visit Puba Village and the S-bend peach blossoms. ✅ Sera Monastery is one of the three major monasteries in Lhasa, and its debate is more famous than its peach blossoms. Every day at 3 pm, you can see the monks using intense body language to debate, which is very shocking. ✅ When shooting peach blossoms, it is recommended to use a telephoto lens and use architectural lines to shoot. It is easier to get good photos from 08:00-10:00 in the morning or 16:00-18:00 in the afternoon, and you can shoot peach blossoms in the shadows of the temple.
