1. Charlotte's Tip on Lhasa

Try your best to not buy anything from the CHINESE... e.g. stay in a tibetan owned hotel, eat in the tibetan restaurants .... and... try to go there before its too late.

9. Marina's Tip on Lhasa
Lhasa, Tibet (Xizang Autonomous Region), China
Phuntsok Khasang International Youth Hostel - Exellent view to Potala palace, 3 minutes waking to johkang square! Don't take the dormitory, dormitories are too cold and the showers are pretty bad, take a private room decorate in Japanese style very comfortable and not expensive. With a panoramic restaurant, fantastically decorated in Tibetan style and amazing view to Potala Palace they serve you delicious Tibetan food, there are 6 Pc's with fast internet and Tibetan chill out music all day long. This is the place to be if you are stuck at the hostel on the cold nights.

Lhasa, Tibet (Xizang Autonomous Region), China
Momos are the best things to eat in Tibet - vegetarian, meat or even apple. They are little dumpling things but very good!
