Night View of Potala Palace

Potala Palace is usually the first must-see scenic spot in Lhasa for 99% travelers to Tibet. Yeah, the Potala Palace is majestic at daytime, but do not miss the night view of the Potala Palace. When night falls, the lighting system and music fountain add livingness to the Potala Palace and make a different sight of the grand Potala Palace. The charming night view of the Potala Palace also attracts many visitors. The music fountain in the square changes its shapes with the rising and falling of the music rhythm.

At daytime, you will find that the Potala Palace perches on a lofty cliff of Lhasa. But at night, you will find the Potala Palace is not rising from the earth, but rising from the cloud in the sky when looking from distance. It is hanging in the sky! That night scene is amazing and unforgettable.

Besides, there are some local Tibetans dancing and singning at the Potala Square. So it is a good place for enjoying Tibetan dances and songs, and also traditional Tibetan costumes. It is also a good way to relax.
