Attractions in Lhasa

Lhasa literally means “place of the gods”. It is also famed as ‘the Sunshine City’, due to the fact that the city enjoys abundant sunshine throughout the year. The ancient city is located in the southern part of the Tibetan high plateau at an altitude of 3650 meters above sea level and on roughly the same longitude as Cairo. The valley in which Lhasa is situated is formed by the river Kyichu, a tributary of the Brahmaputra river. The dominant peaks surrounding Lhasa range between 4400m and 5300 meters above sea level.
