The stunning scenery of Lhasa is simply breathtaking. Come visit Lhasa during the Labor Day holiday!

The magnificent intersection of nature and faith: - **Potala Palace**: The world's highest palace stands on top of Red Mountain. Its white walls and red eaves contrast with the blue sky. When night falls, it transforms into a floating temple under the lights. - **Barkhor Square**: Sunlight pours over the golden roof as devout believers prostrate themselves. The bluestone pavement is polished and gleaming by the years, and the air is filled with the aroma of butter tea and Tibetan incense. - **Namtso Lake**: Drive through the Qiangtang Grassland and suddenly encounter the blue of this "heavenly lake." The lake and snow-capped mountains are reflected in each other, as if able to cleanse the soul. --- ### 🏮 **Tibetan life in the city** - **Barkhor Street Pilgrimage Route**: Slowly walk along with the pilgrims. On both sides are small shops selling Thangkas, Tibetan knives, and yak wool scarves. From time to time, the sound of chanting and the crisp sound of bells can be heard. - **Slow time in a sweet teahouse**: Duck into an old teahouse in the alley, order a pot of sweet tea, and watch Tibetan elders idly chat while turning their prayer beads. Time seems to stand still here. - **Sera Monastery debate**: The vivid scene of monks clapping and debating in the afternoon. Even if you don't understand Tibetan, you can be infected by the warm atmosphere of wisdom.
