3 Star Places To Visit in Tibet, China (21)

1. 3.5 Zhangmu Treaty Port (19 reviews)
   - An Indian in China without Passport
   Points of Interest & Landmarks • Public Transportation Systems
   
   
   Went there sometimes back. We cross-over through Friendship Bridge from Nepal side to China. We were allowed to go up to 3KM inside China. We did not have passport with us and border guards only checked our Indian driver licence. We have to write down our name in their log-book. There is a small market with dirt cheap Chinese goods. We roamed freely and took photographs. Bought one DVD player. Came back to Nepal side of the Friendship Bridge and stayed for the night in a dormitory lodge for INR250 per person. Had good chowmin dinner. See more..

   - Custom Tibet tour by Great Rail Journeys
   Thursday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings

3. 3.5 Kadinggou Scenic Spot (8 reviews)
   - Interesting natural carving on the walls of Kadinggou
   Historic Walking Areas
   
   
   I enjoyed Kadinggou because I have a tour guide who patiently take photo and explain to us where the interesting attractions are. It is hard or impossible to see them without her help. The air is fresh and cool in the mid of September. See more..
   
4. 3.5 Lama Palace (6 reviews)
   - Panchen Palace
   Architectural Buildings
   
   
   It is called Panchen New Palace by some and it is called Little Potala by some. But it is surely a palace for Panchen. It is smaller than Potala Palace and Shigatse is always considered to be "Houzang" of Tibet. houzang means the backyard of Tibet? Panchen is a tittle, only secondary to Dalai and sometimes go over. Have not got a chance to get in but it needs entrance fee, not very touristy so a nice place to see when you have time in Shigatse. See more..
   
5. 3.5 Pala Manor (5 reviews)
   - Something well worthwhile
   Thursday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours History Museums
   
   
   Pala Manor, a well-preserved serf manor, is situated at the Banjorlhunbo Village, 10 minutes’ drive from Gyantse County, Shigatse, Tibet. Once there were a large scale of 37 affiliated small manors, 22 smallholdings, and six lots of grasslands. More than 14,250 cattle were grazed in the grassland with around 2,440 slaves worked on the estate. The slaves needed to do general farm labor, wine production, knitting and sewing, etc. to run the whole manor. There was no human right for the serfs, they were working under harshly treatment and none of them have freedom. See more..
   
6. 3.5 Cuo'na Lake (4 reviews)
   - 中国海拔最高的县
   Thursday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Bodies of Water
   
   
   安多县的海拔在5000米左右，空气稀薄，外来人会很难适应。9月份抵达，路上已经覆盖了积雪，在过一个月可能就要大雪封路了。县城不大，民风古朴。 See more..
   
7. 3.5 Zhaxi Peninsula (4 reviews)
   - The only place to stay overnight in Namtso
   Islands
   
   
   Staying overnight is the best thing to do as we can avoid the crowds of tourists from Lhasa staying for few hours and enjoy the breathless sunset. Zhaxi Peninsula is the only place to stay in Namtso. It provides temporary accomodation, which provides comforatble beds for RMB180. (another choice would be RMB120) No bathroom facilities (anywhere). There is a public temp toliet, but I dare not step inside. It's quite cold at night, better to bring your warm clothes. You can enjoy millions of stars when you brush your teeth in the open air. I even see the galaxy clearly! Climb up the little hill for the sunrise the next morning. What a wonderful world.

8. 3.5 Pulan International Market (4 reviews)
   - Nice Street Market !!!
   Flea & Street Markets
   
   
   During our Mount Kailash yatra we stayed in this Pulan Market area in a hotel called Pulan hotel, it's an average hotel, some of the rooms had attached toilet, but due to water scarcity water was kept in drums,it was very uncomfortable, we stayed for 2days for high altitude acclamation. Pulan Market is a street market with all the items available in different shops, from the provision shop I bought some fruits and bottle drinks to use it during our trek. I bought a Down jacket for 100yuvans, we can bargain here, in fact bargaining is must to save some money, I bargained from 250 to 100yuvans. Happy travelling... S M Bega Raaj. See more..
   
9. 3.0 Biri Mountain (4 reviews)
   - Museum was closed!!
   Mountains
   
   
   This place was the option-B from our local tour guide. And apparently none of us was satisfied with this option. The outdoor nature reserve was nothing special and the museum was closed due to power black out - I can't give any review for the museum. We just walked around the museum, took pictures of the three goats statues and wild flowers. It was out of no where and disappointed. See more..
   
10. 3.0 Big Footprints Wonders (2 reviews)
    - 大脚印奇观
    Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    据当地人说岩壁上的脚印是莲花僧大师留下的，也有脚印是古时候恐龙留下的脚印的说法。到底是谁留下的不得而知。但岩壁上的印记的确很像脚印。这印记依存的岩体风化严重，如若不加以保护，脚印将不会存在多长的时间。 See more..
    
11. 3.0 Nietang Grand Buddha Cliffside Inscriptions (2 reviews)
    - 岩壁に刻まれた仏像
    Religious Sites
    
    
    ラサ郊外にある岩壁に直接彫られた大小の摩崖仏を見ることができます。道路沿いですが目立たないところにひっそりとあるので、気づかずに通りすぎてしまいそうです。群生するコスモスと小ぶりな沼と色彩豊かに塗られた仏像のコントラストが印象的でした。 See more..
    
12. 3.5 Haiburi Moutain (2 reviews)
    - Beautiful Views
    Thursday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Mountains
    
    
    The drive up this mountain was at time sbit hair rasing , other traffic, and not really sure about road rulles. Also there is no problem with drivers in this part of the world talking on their mobiles while navigating hair pin bends! But the scenery was amazing and beautiful. Many locals put up their wishes in the form of coloured flags as high up as possible - each flag has a particular wish written on them. See more..

14. 3.5 Kejia Temple (2 reviews)
    - So peaceful !!!
    Religious Sites
    
    
    This temple is on the way from Nepal border Hilsa and Tibet's ( China) border town Takalakot , when we travel to Mt Kailash we will pass this blissful temple , but our travel agents won't include this temple in their itinerary and they will charge 200 yuvans (Rs.2100/-) per person for a 18km travel and an entrance fees of 30yuvans to enter this temple. We can light candles inside the temple after praying to God , the candles are prized from 5yuvans to 50yuvans depending up on the size of the candle . Must visit when we are to MT Kailash yathra. Loving you so much ... Peacefully yours ... S M Bega Raaj. See more..
    
15. 3.0 Reting Monastery (1 review)
    - Nice one
    Religious Sites
    
    
    Reting (also spelled Rating and Radreng) was built in the early 11th century, but destroyed during the Cultural Revolution and only partly rebuilt. It is worth a visit if you’re in the area, maybe post Namtso. Small, so it won’t take long. See more..
    
16. 3.0 Shiquanhe River (1 review)
    - 雪水融化而成
    Bodies of Water
    
    
    噶尔县的狮泉河镇正是由于狮泉河流经此地而得名，狮泉河是冈底斯山脉和喜马拉雅山脉的雪水融化形成，有季节性，对噶尔这样处于干旱少雨的阿里地区的城镇来说，有母亲河的称谓。 See more..
    
17. 3.0 BoMiXian ShangYe BuXingJie (1 review)
    - 一条不长的小街
    Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    波密县城本身不是很大，这条步行街只是一条不宽的路，两边有一些小的超市和服装，以及土特产的商。我们在这边买了一些风干牛肉干，价格各家相差不多。 See more..
