Potala Palace is a site that photographers should not miss. Sitting on the top of Lhasa City, this ancient palace gives visitors a fantastic view at any corner or any angle. There are two wonderful places to take pictures of the palace, Chakpori Hill and Palubuk Temple. The entrance fee is 2 yuan to Chakpori Hill and 30 yuan to Palubuk Temple. It is best to arrive at the hill before the sunrise, around 7:00am. After shooting the palace in the sunrise, you can walk around it clock-wise to take some pictures from different angles. We also recommend you to go to the other side of Lhasa River to shoot the palace. Especially from Mountain Bumburi you can have an amazing view of the palace. Of course, Lhasa River itself is also a very famous and beautiful spot for photography.
