8 Must-Visit Photo Spots (Yes, Your Phone Works!) 📸✨

1️⃣ Xidu Café (Lhasa Red Wall) ▪️ Iconic spot—but the entrance is sneaky! 🕵️‍♀️ ▪️ Find "Century-Old Courtyard · Jiaka Xia" in Barkhor, then go to 2F. 2️⃣ Mountain Front Café (Barkhor Street) ▪️ Rooftop views—but long queues for pro photographers (¥15/shot). ▪️ Skip the wait! Use your phone at 2-3x zoom—surprisingly good! 📱✔️ 3️⃣ Potala Palace ▪️ Golden hour is king 🌇—shoot at dusk for day + sunset + night shots! 4️⃣ Barkhor Street ▪️ Blue skies + red/yellow walls + pilgrims = perfect street photography. ▪️ Pro tip: Wander slowly—hidden gems everywhere! 5️⃣ Star Moon Bodhi Café ▪️ "Big hole" hack: Stick your phone through the overpass gap below the café for the same epic view (no 200mm lens needed!). 6️⃣ Lhasa Song Bar ▪️ Vibes + Lhasa River views = best post-AMS recovery spot! 🍻🎶 7️⃣ Sera Monastery ▪️ Monk debates (3-5PM, Mon-Sat)—mind-blowing even if you don’t understand! 🧠🙏 8️⃣ Zhaxi Lhakhang (Wealth Temple) ▪️ Most "powerful" temple for luck 💰—plus gold walls + blue skies = 📸 gold! 💟 Missed Spot: Nanshan Park (epic night views but hike-heavy—next time!) ❣️ Reminder: ID required for Barkhor/Potala. No drones! 🚫✈️ #LhasaPhotography #TibetTravel #PhonePhotography #HiddenGems #TravelHacks
