The Potala Palace
Lhasa is the location of the three World Heritage sites: Potala Palace (1994), the Jokhang Temple Monastery(2000) and Norbulingka Garden(2001).
The altitude of Lhasa is 3,490 metres and the air only contains 68% of the oxygen compared to sea level. The rainy season in Lhasa is mainly in July, August and September. With more than 3,000 hours of sunshine annually, so Lhasa is famed as "the City of Sunshine".
