The peak of the world, Tibet travel log (2) – Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple
30/ 9 Beijing -Lhasa flight CA4112
Before landing in Lhasa, we can see from the windows of the aircraft, the barren mountain that stretches in the distance. There is no vegetation. It is difficult to imagine how mankind can make a living here.
Upon arrival of the airport, driver Mr. Wang has been waiting for us. Our group was a six person team. There were three men and three women. Mr. Wang took us to the guesthouse by coaches. Although I felt fine, the girls in our group began to fell the altitude sickness They had headaches and difficult to walk. After reaching the hotel, they immediately lie down and rest. Mr. Wang told us to take it easy for today and rest in the hotels.
Instead of resting in the hotel, I decided to go to the Potala Palace Square. The square is only 10 minutes by foot.
