The Potala Palace was the chief residence of the Dalai Lama until the 14th Dalai Lama fled to Dharamsala, India after an invasion and failed uprising in 1959. Today the Potala Palace has been converted into a museum by the Chinese.
 Namtso Lake ----is one of the most beautiful places in the Nyainquentanglha mountain range. It is the highest salt lake in the world, and largest salt lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region. Namtso has five uninhabited islands of reasonalbe size, in addition to one or two rocky outcrops. The islands have been used for spiritual retreat by pilgrims who walk over the lake’s frozen surface at the end of winter, carrying their food with them. Its cave hermitages have for centuries been the destination of Tibetan pilgrims. The weather at Namtso is subject to abrupt sudden change and snowstorms are very common across the Nyainqêntanglha range.

 Yarlung Zangbo River---- is the highest major river in the world. As it descends, the surrounding vegetation changes from cold desert to arid steppe to deciduous scrub vegetation. The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, formed by a horse-shoe bend in the river where it flows around Namcha Barwa, is the deepest, and possibly longest canyon in the world.
