Short Destination Clips
Lhasa was listed as one of the first groups of famous historic cities in China in 1982. It is the center of Tibetan politics, economy, culture, and religion. During the 7th century AD, King Songtsan Gampo unified all of Tibet and moved the political center from Shannan to Lhasa. Buddhism has had a deep influence throughout Tibet. Generations of governors built the Jokhang (Dazao) Monastery, the Gandan Monastery, the Deprung Monastery, the Sera Monastery, and others.
Lhasa has become the center of Tibetan Buddhism. It is the holy place for Tibet; the land of Buddhism. The world-famous Potala palace and Norbulinkha park (the jewel park) and others were also built here. Many pilgrimages are made here each year.
