Goats

Arrived in Tibet’s capital city of Lhasa, one of the highest cities in the world.  The name literally means “Place of the Gods” and christened by the 7th century Tibetan king Songtsän Gampo.  The original name of the city was Rasa, which just means “goats.”
Although given four stars by (some) Chinese tourism bureaus, the hotel seems delightfully kitschy to me.  The main street through the old part of town was named Beijing Rd., naturally.
Across the rooftops, you could see prayer flags at the four corners of each building.
