Night tour of Potala Palace Square
A trip to Tibet, of course, to see the Potala Palace! As long as I have dinner in the Potala Palace Square or near Barkhor Street of Jokhang Temple in the evening, after dinner I will come to the square for a walk and see the Potala Palace after the lights are turned on at night.
Time:
Potala Palace Square can not be entered after 22 o 'clock in the evening, closed at 23 o 'clock. It's been all over the square since 22:30. The first time I went, I rushed to get in at about 9:50, but it didn't take long to get in, and the square was cleared by 10:30. So make sure to go early!
Tips:
The whole climb of 13 floors, will be high, slow pace. Arrive at your appointment time, about an hour before. The stairs are steep inside. Wear flat shoes and be safe up and down. Inside the red and white walls will fade, difficult to wash, take pictures away from the wall.
Nothing too revealing. You can go to Yaowang Mountain observation platform to shoot 50 yuan background, and then through the security gate, and then visit the Potala Palace. You can also go to the Tibet post office in the sky to send postcards to friends or yourself, then go through the security gate, and then visit the Potala Palace.
After visiting the Potala Palace, you can go to the opposite Potala Palace square through the underground passage, where many tourists are taking the reflection of the Potala Palace, there are several mirrors on the square, which are specially provided for tourists to take the reflection.
