Lhasa, situated at an altitude of 3, 650m (11, 975m) is the capital of Tibet autonomous region. The Yarlung King Songsten Gampo of the 7th century moved his capital to Lhasa and built his palace at the site where stands Potala Palace today and since then Lhasa prominently rose as the administrative center and heart and soul of Tibet. Lhasa, for centuries abode of Dalai Lamas and a destination of devout pilgrimage, is still a city of wonders and a must visit place in Tibet, despite its development as a modern city. Lhasa, still proudly preserves the Dalai Lamas Potala Palace, Norbulingkha Palaces, ancient Jorkhang Temple, and major Gelug monasteries like Drepung and Sera. A stroll along the pilgrimage circuit of Barkhor still reminds ancient Tibet with all its glory and history.
