What are the tourist attractions worth visiting in China?

In 2023, you will have to punch in the scenic spots when you travel to Tibet. It is recommended to collect!

I used to live in Tibet for work reasons, but I visited all the major scenic spots in 1978. Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple and Tashilhunpo Temple are all quite famous. Even those who have never been to Tibet and have no idea about Tibet must have heard of Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple. I want to say that fame is not for nothing. If you want to go to Tibet, you must visit it.

Potala Palace is the first stop of my trip to Tibet.

Potala Palace is the tallest and most magnificent palace in the world. It has a long history and is the most important symbol of Lhasa and even Tibet. The scenery is super shocking and charming. The pearl on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the tallest palace in the world, and the true Buddha statues of the Dalai Lama in past dynasties are all treasured here, which is cost-effective and fully feels the world view of Tibetan culture.

It is recommended to play for 3 hours.

Opening hours are from 9: 30am to 5: 00pm/kloc-0 (closing time is15: 00pm); Located in Potala Palace, on Maburi Mountain in the northwest of Lhasa, the capital of Xizang Autonomous Region.

Potala Palace, with its distinctive Tibetan style and magnificent momentum, is a complete palace castle complex in Tibet and is known as one of the top ten earth buildings in the world.

Jokhang Temple Jokhang Temple is as sacred as Potala Palace.

People often say that "Jokhang Temple comes first, then Lhasa City". The scenery is shocking and charming, full of Tibetan culture. People of all faiths should go to Jokhang Temple to sincerely worship, and everyone who comes to Tibet should punch in. The surrounding Barkhor Street is worth a visit. It's very interesting and cost-effective, which makes you glad you came.

Jokhang Temple combines the architectural styles of Tibet, Tang Dynasty, Nepal and India. It is the most brilliant civil structure building in the Tubo period, and it is also a model for building a Pingchuan-style Tibetan temple.

With a long history of 1300 years, it is located in Barkhor Street, Chengguan District, Lhasa, Tibet. Successive dynasties have been constantly revised and expanded, forming the present scale.

Whether geographically or in the eyes of Tibetan Buddhists, Jokhang Temple is a veritable holy place and center of Tibetan Buddhism, and it has an extremely lofty and sacred position in the history of Tibetan Buddhism.

Tashilhunpo Temple: I met the most professional commentator in history here. I am a super cute uncle.

When you come to Shigatse, you must go to Tashilhunpo Temple. The scenery is good, which is the desolate beauty of Tibet. Built on the mountain, sitting west facing east, the scenery is shocking, full of rich Tibetan exotic characteristics, and the cost performance is super high. This is a must-see temple for the Panchen Lama to return to Tibet. Set up an altar here to lecture and debate the scriptures. There are the Great Maitreya Hall and the Panchen Lingta Hall.

Brief introduction of Tashilhunpo Temple

Tashilhunpo Temple, the largest temple in Shigatse, Tibet. Because it is the symbol of Shigatse, it is located on the east slope of Nima Mountain in the west of Shigatse. The temple is built on the mountain, which is magnificent and breathtaking. It is as majestic as the Potala Palace in Lhasa.

Tibet can't go all at once because of its large area. Friends who are inexperienced in traveling to Tibet for the first time can choose local group tours, including transportation tickets and accommodation, which is absolutely relaxing. If you need directions, you can drop me off!
