As the iconic landmark of Lhasa, the Potala Palace's night view is a must-see for visitors. Popular photo spots include the square in front of the palace and the Princess Wencheng Theater, but the former is too close for a grand view, while the latter requires long-focus lenses due to its distance.
For the best vantage point, head to the 500-meter mark on the hiking trail of Nanshan Park along Lhasa's southern ring road. This observation deck offers an unobstructed panorama of the Potala Palace at night, along with sweeping views of the entire city. Its proximity to the river also allows for stunning reflections of city lights on the water—making it the ultimate spot for night photography.
