3. Yangzhuoyongcuo

Referred to as Yanghu, it means "Lake of Jasper" in Tibetan. It is one of the three holy lakes in Tibet and looks like a coral branch, so it is also called "the coral lake above" in Tibetan.

It is the largest inland lake at the northern foot of the Himalayas. It is the most beautiful lake and mountain in southern Tibet.

4. Barkhor Street

Barkhor Street, also known as Bajiao Street, is located in the old city and is the most famous turning road and commercial center in Lhasa. To this day, some Tibetans still perform sacred prayer turning ceremonies on the streets to express their inner piety. Almost all the houses facing the street are shops, selling all kinds of Tibetan clothing, handicrafts, and Indian and Nepalese products.

5. Sera Monastery

Sera Monastery, together with Drepung Monastery and Ganden Monastery, is the latest of the three major monasteries in Lhasa. Tibetan areas have the most famous scripture debate ceremony. The debate was held in the northernmost debate venue in the temple. There were so many people watching the debate that if you arrived early you could get a good seat. Many of the main halls of Sera Monastery have preserved relatively ancient murals. It is best to bring a flashlight or headlamp for easy viewing.
