In addition to the Bu Palace, there are also Potala Palace Square and Longwangtan Park behind it. These two places are very beautiful places with green trees, clear water and picturesque scenery. . To the west of the square, there is Yaowang Mountain, which is the best place to take pictures and view the Potala Palace from a distance.

2. Jokhang Temple
In the hearts of Tibetan Buddhist believers, the status of the Jokhang Temple is much higher than that of the Potala Palace. The Jokhang Temple is the Chinese name for it, and in Tibetan it is called "Laden Zu Lhakang", which means: a sutra hall or a Buddhist temple in a holy place. The Jokhang Temple enshrines the 12-year-old Buddha statue of Sakyamuni and some other Buddha statues. The Jokhang Temple originated from the Tang Dynasty and was built for a Nepalese princess. After many dynasty changes, the Jokhang Temple has remained standing, integrating Tang Dynasty, Tibetan, Nepalese and Indian styles. The Jokhang Temple is a national key cultural relic protection unit and a world cultural heritage.
The Jokhang Temple and its surrounding areas are the cultural and economic center of Tibet and the source of Lhasa’s development. It is also the destination of pilgrimage for Tibetan Buddhist believers. Every morning and evening, many worshipers gather in front of the Jokhang Temple Square to pray around Barkhor Street.
