Lhasa
Lhasa is the historic capital of central Tibet (now the Tibet Autonomous Region of China), situated in the valley of the Kyichu river at roughly 3,650 metres. From the seventeenth century it was the seat of the Dalai Lamas and the centre of the Tibetan Buddhist (Gelug-led) government, with the Potala Palace as the institutional and ceremonial heart of Tibetan Buddhism; many of the Dalai Lamas resided, taught, and were enthroned there.
