Lhasa,China 拉萨拉萨位于青藏高原的中部，海拔3650米，是世界上海拔最高的城市之一。Lhasa is rightly one of the most featured and dreamt-about cities in the world.

In the Tibetan language, Lhasa means the Holy Land or the Buddha Land. It is the center of Tibets politics, economy and culture. The city has also been appointed as one of the 24 historical and cultural cities of China.

Since Lhasa is located at such a high altitude it is wise to be prepared before starting your journey.

However, because it also receives a great deal of sunshine, sunglasses, suntan oil, and a sun hat are indispensable items if youre traveling anywhere in Tibet.Currently there are three options for travel to Tibet, by plane, by road and by train.1. Taking the plane is a comfortable and timesaving option, but offers little time for you to acclimatise to the altitude; this may cause sickness.2.

Furthermore, taking extra time allows for a more gradual acclimatization to the altitude.3. Taking the train, is a fabulous new option, giving the opportunity to see hitherto unseen mountain scenery.
