1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #654
- Yamdrok Lake , Lhasa
The deep blue Yamdrok Lake here is so high (4441m) and so big (70km long) it feels like one is up in the heavens, when looking down at it. It is also one of the 3 sacred lakes here in Tibet, with many Tibetans coming up here to pray around this spiritual lake.

- Princess Wencheng show , Lhasa
The 'live' show of "Princess Wencheng" here in Lhasa exceeded our expectations, with a massive stage that included a huge Potala Palace as a backdrop. With over 800 actors, it is quite a spectacle - done in open air, with the real Tibetan mountains as part of its staging.

- Potala Palace, Lhasa, Tibet
The Potala Palace, the former home of the Dalai Lama, in all its splendour high up at over 3600m - so regal, so majestic! Surely, this must be the most revered Buddhist structure in the world. At night, it glows like a rare jewel..so privileged to be able to hike up the 430steps to get to the top of this Palace in the rarefied air here.

- Basum Tso Lake, Tibet
This huge Basum Tso Lake is regarded as the Tibetan version of Lake Bled in Slovenia because of the island in the middle of this blue lake, but with a Tibetan monastery in the middle of it. Autumn leaves bring so much colour here.

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #649 - Nyinchi, Tibet
1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #649
- Lulang, Nyinchi, Tibet
Up in this high Tibetan town of Nyingchi, we are given a visual treat of high mountains ranges and Tibetan homes here at Lulang Town, at well over 4000m high. We had to move much slower than normal, as our body struggles to bring oxygen to the brain. But the beauty of this Tibetan town is distinctive.
