Tibet offers fabulous monastery sights, breathtaking high-altitude treks, stunning views of the world's highest mountains, and one of the world's most intriguing people and culture. Located at the bottom of a small basin surrounded by mountains, Lhasa sits 3,650 meters above sea level at the center of the Tibetan Plateau. Known as the Roof of the World, Tibet has long been a favorite destination for tourists both in China and abroad. The mysterious Buddhist holy place was hidden from the outside world for thousands of years and for adventurers and traders it was a legendary land of treasure and riches.

Lhasa is not only Tibet's political, economic, and cultural center, but also the center of Tibetan Buddhism. Major attractions include the Jokhang Temple, Ramoche Temple, Potala Palace, Barkhor Bazaar, Norbulingka Palace, and three great monasteries of Ganden, Drepung and Sera. The Jokhang Temple, Potala Palace, Norbulingka Palace, and the three monasteries Ganden, Drepung and Sera are key cultural relics under state protection.
