Lhasa Trip from Tibet: The Place You'll Regret Not Coming Sooner
— Why do you want to go to Lhasa?
— Because, here is the faith I want.
Lhasa is the world's Panchen City, loneliness like a crown.
Walking in Lhasa, the sound of footsteps, breathing, and the soft murmur of prayers, all echoing, yet quiet and low.
Here, the sky is so close to us, as if one could reach out and touch it.
Some say Lhasa is a faith-filled isolated city, with a very strong sense of Zen and untouched by worldly affairs.
Only by going to Lhasa can one truly understand life.
When you step onto this land, in the great sunshine, with nothing to do but feel content, you'll realize that life can be so slow.
After all, the sky here is 3650 meters closer than usual.
Lhasa has always been listed as one of the 'must-visit cities in a lifetime' by many, with some going for its blue sky and white clouds, and others seeking spiritual cleansing.
More people are amazed by the devout pilgrims gathered in Lhasa.
The smoke from butter lamps rising from the incense stoves, the pungent aroma of butter, and the constant stream of pilgrims spinning prayer wheels.
Regardless of history or the present.
