DAY 02 Lhasa Sightseeing Tour.
Potala Palace: Lying on the Red Hill in Lhasa City, Potala Palace is regarded as the symbol of Lhasa. It is noted for its magnificent construction, complex structure, pious atmosphere and delicate artworks. Originally, the King SongtsenGampo built it in the seventh century and Fifth Dalai Lama repaired it in 1645. Its present size was enlarged by the thirteenth Dalai Lama. Gradually, it has become the political center in Tibet and the seat of Dalai Lamas. It is mainly made up of the Red Palace and the White Palace and covers an area of about 25 acres.
Nurbulinka Park: It is a very picturesque garden built over 200 years ago. The attractions inside the park include palaces, pavilions, villas and various trees and flowers. It is really a nice place to experience the Tibetan culture and art.
DAY 03  Lhasa Sightseeing Continued.
Drepung Temple: Drepung Monastery is actually a collection of Buddhist chapels and colleges located about 8km west of Lhasa. The word ‘Drepung’ can be literally translated as "rice pile", a name whose meaning becomes clear when you see the white-walled buildings scattered along the hill. Originally founded in 1416, the monastery in its heyday was home to 10,000 monks (around 1600). In 1530, the second Dalai Lama built his palace here, known as the Ganden Palace, which was used until the fifth Dalai Lama built the Potala Palace.
Jokhang Temple:  It is a typical Tibetan Buddhist temple, which bears an unparalleled status in the Tibetan Buddhism. Constructed in 647 during the Tang Dynasty, the Jokhang Temple was built as a memorial to the Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal and Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. As the oldest wooden complex of Tibet, the temple covers an area of over 25,100 square meters (6.2 acres), with four floors in the main hall and spectacular gold-plated roof.Sera Monastery: The Monastery, which stands at the foot of Tatipu Hill, is located in the northern suburb of Lhasa City. It is one of the three famous monasteries in Lhasa, and is dedicated to the Gelugpa or Yellow Hat Sect (a branch of Tibetan Buddhism). The monastery was named ‘Sera’, which means wild rose in the Tibetan language, during the time when the hill was covered with wild roses in its inception.  The monastery is magnificent and covers an area of 114,946 square meters (28 acres). Scriptures written in gold powder, fine statues, scented cloths, and unparalleled murals can be found in the halls of the monastery. Colorful debates on Buddhist doctrines are also held here in the monastery, whose style is very distinctive from those of other famous monasteries of Lhasa.
