Day 6. Modern and ethnic alternates noisy and quiet coexists, a pure land of spiritual insights - Lhasa

May 9th
We get up very early and the sky is already bright. When I am looking out the window, all vibrant things catch our eyes. Suddenly my whole body is full of positive energy and I feel that person alive is such a wonderful thing and my life has no regrets after I see these beauty views. We have a simply breakfast at the hotel, then we go to the first station in Lhasa. 

The First Station: The Potala Palace

The Potala Palace was built on the red hills (3700 meters high) by Zao Gambo for the marrying Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. The Palace is consist of 999 houses. Only come to Lhasa, we could really know the majestic of the prestigious architectural wonders of the World. We go to her feet, look up and we find that the magnificent Palaces and mountains seem like without distinction. In Lhasa, as long as these places do not have high-rise block, we could see the Potala Palace. So it is a irreplaceable spirit totem for Lhasa and for the whole of Tibet. 

The Second Station: The Jokhang Temple

The Jokhang Temple in Lhasa--a temple that Tibetan Buddhist Believers extremely admired. It is located at downtown in Lhasa, which was built for commemorate Bhrikuti by Zao Gambo. The Jokhang Temple is Tibet's most brilliant existing building in the Tubo period and the oldest civil structures building. Entire temple is not big, but is very characteristic. In front of the door there are many devout Tibetans conduct "all fours" ceremony. After I see these believers, I suddenly feel the great and sacred of beliefs.
