What are the interesting places to go in Lhasa-recommendation of scenic spots

If you travel to Lhasa, what kind of travel methods do you think you can choose and where would be better? Lhasa has the following scenic spots. You can choose different ways to visit and have a good experience.

Overlooking the holy city by helicopter, Lhasa is forbidden to fly all over the city unless it goes through special approval procedures, so aerial photography enthusiasts can't record this great city with drones. In order to find a unique perspective, some people will climb to Wang Yaoshan to shoot the cloth palace. But in fact, you can hover over Lhasa by helicopter and overlook this sunny city from God's perspective.

The take-off and landing point of the helicopter is the first general aviation airport in Tibet-Cijuelin Airport, which is located on the Lhasa River and opposite the Potala Palace. Cijuelin Airport is not far from the center of Lhasa, so you can take a taxi or drive there. Some travel agencies will send cars to pick them up, which is very convenient.

Before boarding the plane, a series of registration procedures, training and security checks will be carried out. Because of the noise in the helicopter cabin, you must wear headphones in addition to wearing a seat belt like a normal plane. If there is anything, you can communicate directly with the captain through the headset.

Everything is ready, take off! In an instant, it will soar into the sky, with roads, rivers, tall buildings and the magnificent Potala Palace at your feet.

The whole flight takes about 12- 15 minutes, and the charge is not as high as expected. One person, 780 yuan. If you don't think it's over yet, you can also choose chartered flight to see Namco, which is more than two hours away, and the price will be more expensive.

Along the way, snow-capped mountains and lakes are densely covered. Just press the shutter and it will be a big movie. The sacred lake on the plateau can reflect the blue of the sky very clearly, while Haizi in Tibet has a completely different feeling when viewed from a height and from the flat ground.

Others drive five or six hours to Namco, and you slowly get off the helicopter wrapped in a windbreaker, which is simply contemporary Versailles. Of course, the premise is that the wallet is bulging enough.

You don't have to worry about safety. Pilots and co-pilots are screened out through strict examination.

The helicopter is H 125 nicknamed "Little Squirrel" by Hakkas. It is far superior to other single-engine helicopters in performance and safety, and is good at working in extreme environments such as high temperature plateau.

Price: 780 yuan/person

Route: Cijuelin Airport (take off)-Liu Wu Bridge-Cijuelin-Intercontinental Hotel-Cijuelin Airport (land).

I saw an art exhibition in the holy city not far from Jokhang Temple. The sign of "Gendun Qunpei Contemporary Art Museum" hung at the door of an inconspicuous white house. I believe many people have passed by here countless times, but they have never set foot in this world.

This is the first non-profit cultural cooperative art institution established by local artists. It was founded in 2003 on the occasion of the birthday100th anniversary of Mr. Gendun Qunpei.

Who is Gendun Qunpei? He is a famous thinker, scholar and monk in modern Tibet. His legendary life and spiritual theory is a model of independent innovation in modern Tibetan culture and art, which has influenced generations of Tibetan scholars.

The gallery will hold various exhibitions and academic exchange lectures from time to time, and all of them can be visited for free. Here we can meet many young Tibetan contemporary artists and see more contemporary works of art with Tibetan elements as the carrier.

Here you will learn that Tibetan art is not only our stereotyped Thangka, but also oil painting, installation art and photographic works can express Tibetan spirit.

In addition to Gendun Qunpei Contemporary Art Museum, there is also a private art museum in Xianzu Island, Tibet Intermediate Art Center, which just opened this year.

This art center took nine years to complete, and the venue itself is a building worth visiting. It is hard to imagine that there is such a modern and avant-garde space in Lhasa, a city of faith.

There is no obvious light source in the whole room, and many natural lighting surfaces are created by using Sunshine City in Lhasa. Light and shadow interweave different pictures at different times of the day, which is very clever.

Of course, private collections and some heavyweight works will also be exhibited here.

Draw a thangka by hand. Speaking of Tibetan culture, Thangka is indispensable. Most people only know Thangka because it is expensive. I never knew the art of Thangka. There are many places selling Thangka in Lhasa, large and small, but it seems that no one can personally experience painting Thangka.

In fact, ordinary tourists who want to experience Thangka culture can go to the third floor of Gendun Qunpei Museum of Contemporary Art mentioned above. Here are some teachers who have studied Thangka for more than ten years. They will explain the evolution history of Thangka, the characteristics of different Thangka schools and the characteristics of Thangka in different regions. After this class, you will have a deeper understanding of Thangka.

Because the Thangka works we see every day are exquisite and complicated, many people will think that Thangka is complicated and irregular in a short time, but in fact Thangka is only a form of expression, and we can also complete a simple Thangka work in a short time.

Starting with the most basic stretched canvas, there are many stresses. Thangka canvas is made of smooth and dense white cotton cloth without any stains, holes and cracks. After adding special materials, cotton cloth can be used as Thangka canvas after polishing, planing and drying.

Get the canvas ready and start painting. We all know that Thangka is very expensive, because the pigments of Thangka are precious mineral gems such as gold, silver, pearls, agate, coral, turquoise, malachite and cinnabar, as well as some precious plants such as saffron, Xu Changqing, Huaqing and Huang Lian.

These natural materials ensure that the painted Thangka is bright and eye-catching, even after hundreds of years.

When the canvas and paint are ready, you can start painting under the guidance of the teacher. The teacher will give guidance throughout the painting process. After warp testing, drafting, scribing, coloring and crossing the line, your own Thangka is completed.

Go to the Langma Hall and the Pot Jumping Hall. Langma Hall in Lhasa is a nightclub for Tibetan compatriots. Lhasa has the best hardware facilities and the most lively Langma Hall in Tibetan areas, so it is certainly not to be missed.

First of all, Langma Hall is also a reflection of Tibetan culture, and you can appreciate how modern Tibetan compatriots who are inhuman make indoor soft clothes at close range.

Secondly, the huge Langma Hall will invite some famous Tibetan singers to perform, and you can feel the idolization madness of Tibetan people. Tibetan songs keeps pace with the times, and there is rap, which, to be honest, sounds good.

Most importantly, Langma Hall can break the language barrier and quickly integrate into Tibetan compatriots. Following the rhythm of Tibetan pop music, it is the best time for you to feel the enthusiasm of Tibetan compatriots when everyone dances in the pot village.

Most Tibetan friends are very hospitable, but they may not take the initiative to strike up a conversation because of language barriers, but after drinking a glass of beer, they danced and gestured while chatting under the dazzling lights. Tonight we are all brothers.

If you don't like nightlife and want to experience the joy of jumping pots with Tibetan compatriots, then you can choose to go to Zongjiao Lu Kang Park at the foot of Potala Palace in the morning and have a pot-making with 100 people in Lhasa who are doing morning exercises.

When you visit Chongsaikang market in your early years, you must have faith bracelets when you enter Tibet. If conditions are good, you can decorate the bracelet with turquoise and red coral to make yourself look more different.

Therefore, going to the antique market in Lhasa to visit Taobao has become an essential part of going to Lhasa.

Chongsaikang Market is located in the center of Lhasa, and it is the largest daily small department store market in Lhasa. Clothing, daily necessities, food, spices and other things are available, and most of the tourists are locals.

The most interesting thing is actually the fork in the road in front of the market. In the afternoon, many people will set up stalls here to sell Wan Wen, which means Ciqikou.

Whenever there is no farming and grazing in winter, many Tibetan friends will sell dzi beads, turquoise, beeswax and red coral here. Usually, people who sell things will string these valuable things together with strings, hang them around their necks, and then put them in their robes to avoid revealing themselves. Only those who look like real buyers will take them out.

However, now the fish and dragons are mixed, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false things. Most of them may come from Yiwu. If you are not an expert, just look at them. Don't bargain lightly.

Going to Sera Temple to watch a debate is only out of love for natural scenery, and there is no religious research. It was not until a coincidence that I saw local monks debating scriptures in Qamdo Qiangbalin Temple that I learned something. Compared with Qiangbalin Temple, the debate of Lhasa Sera Temple is more representative.

Sera Temple is located in the north of Lhasa. As far as the temple itself is concerned, it is not as famous as Jokhang Temple. Most tourists come here to see a wonderful "debate".

Debate is a compulsory course for monks who practice and study here, starting at 3 pm every Monday to Friday. Debate can be imagined as an ordinary debate, but the theme of the debate has become Buddhist scriptures or other propositions given by the living Buddha.

There are two main reasons why the debate in Sera Temple is famous. First, it lasts a long time. After a debate, plus the teacher's comment time, it takes more than two hours.

Another point is that the debate in Sera Temple is extremely grand and has a large number of participants. At the same time, the debate is extremely fierce. Because they don't understand their language, they often mistakenly think that they are going to fight. In fact, they are just expressing their views and expressing their views on the topic.

Argumentative writing usually consists of a standing questioner and a sitting debater. Standing questioners will put pressure on the debater through various body language, or glare or high-five, urging the debater to answer quickly.

Because of their natural language barrier and their ignorance of Tibetan Buddhism, it is difficult to understand what they are arguing about, but every time they look at their serious energy, they will still be deeply touched.
