Full day guided tour to visit Potala Palace & Jokhang Temple. Potala Palace was initially built in 641 AD and listed as a world heritage site in 1994. The halls, murals, statues and mountain views will make you shocked even if you are not a Buddhist. The Jokhang Temple is the final destination for pilgrims. A statue of the 12-year-old Sakyamuni, who lived in India in the fifth century BC, and who was the creator of Buddhism, is collected in the monastery. This is the reason why Buddhists consider Lhasa a Sacred Land. Later in the afternoon, stroll at Barkhor Street to experience local Tibetan people's lifestyle.
