Lhasa, Tibet's capital since the 7th century, is still a city of wonders, despite the large-scale intrusion of modern
Chinese influence. The city retains its spiritual core: the Jokhang; the venerable palace of Dalai Lamas, the Potala;
and great monasteries such as Drepung and Sera. For all its modernisation Lhasa remains a fantastic cultural hybrid
and its streets deserves some days to see all the sights and absorb the atmosphere of this amazing city.
