Potala Palace｜A place where there is a lack of oxygen but not a lack of faith

The sacred Potala Palace The Potala Palace in Lhasa, located in the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region, is a sacred palace with a deep history and cultural heritage. For centuries, this palace has been the center of politics, religion, and culture in Tibet. The Potala Palace is located on the Red Hill, towering into the clouds. Whenever the sun rises or the night falls, the golden roof shines with a mysterious and brilliant light under the sun or starlight. Standing on the square in front of the Potala Palace, looking up at this majestic and magnificent building complex, it seems to feel the wisdom and power deposited by endless years. Preparation before departure: "Potala Palace Ticketing System" reservation, 7 days in advance Starting in May: 200 Oh! The tour route is simple Queue for security check at the south gate and enter the first gate』「Follow the crowd directly to the second gate」「Decide whether to ask for an explanation」「Check the ticket at the stele without words and enter the second gate』「Start climbing after changing the ticket』 Attention! Dress appropriately when going to the Potala Palace, do not wear skirts, shorts, stockings, etc. You can wear a hat and sunglasses when climbing the mountain, but you need to take them off in the hall to show respect.

There are two or three ticket booths on the way up the mountain, you don't need to rush to buy tickets, you can decide whether to buy or not at the ticket booth behind depending on your physical condition. Walk very slowly, don't rush, otherwise you may have altitude sickness. It is not recommended to climb the Potala Palace on the second day of going to Lhasa, it is recommended to wait for two days before going, otherwise it is easy to have altitude sickness. Once you enter the Potala Palace, you must watch which road you take, because inside "do not walk back", that is, you cannot turn back, you can only keep going forward... until the end. It is recommended to choose an earlier appointment time, of course, those with a later appointment time can also enter the venue in advance (not sure, it is possible in the off-season!), it is too hot when the sun is big, it is quite cool earlier. "Potala Palace Square" finally go, wait for 21:00 to start the night light, it is also very beautiful in the evening! There are many people here taking various photos, I also took advantage of someone else's water to take a reflection (dry very quickly). Personal experience: Be sure to bring enough warm clothes for the night, the temperature difference is too big! Arrange your diet reasonably during the period, finally, if you have the conditions, you should go into the Potala Palace to see it, it is very spectacular, 200 ticket, I think it is worth it!
