Radiating from the center
While Potala Palace is a globally recognized icon of Lhasa, there are several nearby sites worth visiting in the Tibet autonomous region's capital.
The Norbulingka Summer Palace, Jokhang Temple and Tibet Museum are three major attractions near Potala.
The Norbulingka Summer Palace was the Dalai Lama's historical residence since its construction in the mid-1700s. In the 1960s, the palace was converted into a park.
