Vista from the Jokhang roof to Potala Palace
The old Tibetan quarter makes up a small area of Lhasa these days. From the roof top of Jokhang still is a nice view to the quarter and the Potala Palace in the background.
The modern Lhasa is a Chinese boom town, where a new train line has fuelled massive growth in tourism, alongside new hotels, shops and supermarkets. The face of Lhasa is changing daily, with buildings rising and falling like the Shanghai stock market, but the Tibetan quarter still keeps a bit it old image.
