Walking through the crowd, go to the sacred monastery, from the spirit you may sublime a lot of it.
After the day after the Potala Palace, if you want to understand the local culture and history, may wish to see a large real drama "Princess Wencheng." This is about 90 minutes to the mountains for the screen to the valley for the Taiwan to cover the outdoor performances, you can let yourself experience what is the snow-covered plateau rough and vigorous.
