Once you've acclimated to Lhasa's high altitude, head to the towering 1,300-year-old palace that crowns Tibet's capital. This 7th-century, 1,000-room monolith was previously a monastery, a fortress, the seat of the Tibetan government and a winter residence of the Dalai Lama. Visitors — including religious pilgrims — absorb the beauty of the jewel-laden stupa (a kind of Buddhist shrine), featuring tombs of previous Dalai Lamas, and make offerings at the altars.
