Locked away in its Himalayan fortress, Tibet can truly be described as the roof of the world and its capital, Lhasa, is the heart and soul of this fascinating place. Despite the Chinese influence, it remains a city of wonders, from the splendor of the Potala Palace, which dominates the skyline, to the bustle of the local markets. Then, of course there are the temples and monasteries such as the Jokhang and the Drepung Monastery where one can soak up the atmosphere of the rich Buddhist culture.
