Yesterday I had a chance to visit again famous Potala. It is more like a castle than a palace. Do not expect any bright luxury of the palace inside. They charge already 200 yuans for the entry and there are two security controls on the way… Do not bring the water. Passport is necessary. Be prepared for long climb 13 floors up…
Nowadays Potala is brightly illuminated after dark – mabbe the view is even nicer than during the day! – see my picture…This was my last night in Lhasa. Cold morning, no hot water in the hotel.
Today I am boarding the highest railway of the world – going down to Lanzhou – it willbe 25 hours journey. Let’s go to the station!
