Overall, Tibet Museum is not to be missed while traveling to Tibet!

We have got the main foot of Tibet in the former. Typical food in the holy land could be regarded as the most terrific attraction during your Tibet tour. Now, I would like to lead you to enjoy its typical features.

Typical Self-Catering
There will be a time when you will need to be self-sufficient, whether you are staying overnight at a monastery or are caught between towns on an overland trip. Unless you have a stove, your main savior will be instant noodles. After a long trip to Mt Kailash and back you will know the relative tastes of every kind of packet of instant noodles sold in Tibet. Your body will also likely be deeply addicted to MSG. Even the faintest smell of noodles will leave you gagging. It is a good idea to stock up on instant coffee, hot chocolate and soups as flasks of boiling water are offered in every hotel and restaurant. Vegetables such as onion, carrots and bok choy can save even the cheapest pack of noodles from culinary oblivion, as can a packet of mixed spices brought from home.

Nonalcoholic Drinks
The local beverage that every traveler ends up trying at least once is yak-butter tea. Modern Tibetans use an electric blender to mix their yak butter tea. The more palatable alternative to yak-butter tea is sweet, milky tea, or cha ngamo. It is similar to the tea drunk in neighbouring Pakistan. Chinese green tea, soft drinks in Jianlibao, a honey-orange drink is existing difference. However, tourists should be aware that it is often made with contaminated water, and there is always some risk in drinking it.

Alcoholic Drinks
The Tibetan brew is known as chang, a fermented barley beer. It has a rich, fruity taste and ranges from disgusting to pretty good. Connoisseurs serve it out of a jerry can. Those trekking in the Everest region should try the local variety, which is served in a big pot. Hot water is poured into the fermenting barley and the liquid is drunk through a wooden straw - it is very good. Sharing chang is a good way to get to know local people, if drunk in small quantities. Supermarkets in Lhasa stock server types of Chinese red wine, including Shangri-La, produced in Tibetan areas of northeast Yunnan using methods handed down by French missionaries at the beginning of 19th century.

If you have enough interests, just have a careful taste about the local drinks!

For the tourists explore Lhasa attractions, they would get easily love the customs and local religions. It is an ideal paradise where tourists could find unique happiness. However, besides this, where to amuse in Lhasa?

Delicate Bars in Lhasa
Here the very familiar bar will be the Makye Amye. The past is tastier than the present at this watering hole overlooking the Barkhor. If the stories are to be believed, this was once a drinking haunt of the licentious sixth Dalai Lama, who met the famed Tibetan beauty Makye Amye here and composed a famous poem about her. Tour groups and Chinese tourists are drawn to the views of the Barkhor from the window tables and fine rooftop terrace, but the food is just so-so. Another will be the Dunya. The upstairs bar at this popular restaurant is favorite of both local expats and tour groups. There are discount hour in the Friday. For the tourists who want to save money, it is an ideal place to have a try!

Poetic Teahouses and Cafes
With authentic espresso coffee and smoothies, sofas that you could lose yourself in, free wi-fi and melt-in-your-mouth desserts, this American-style coffeehouse is caffeine nirvana for Starbucks addicts and latte lovers. It is in the courtyard of the Shangbala Hotel, off Zangyiyuan Lu. There are several Tibetan teahouses around town where you could grab a cheap cup of cha ngamo. Most of them are grungy Tibetan-only places, blasted by high-decibel kung fu videos, but there are a few exceptions. If you want to have a tranquil environment, the Ani Sangkhung Nunnery Teahouse is a good idea. For the tourists who are interested in the mysteries, Turquoise dragon Teahouse could satisfy your desire. It is a Tibetan-style place with a fine balcony overlooking Beijing Donglu.

Entertainment in Lhasa
It is regret that there is little in the way of cultural entertainment in Lhasa. Restaurants like the Shangrila in the courtyard of the Kirey Hotel have free song-and-dance performances for diners. For authentic performances of Tibetan opera and dancing you will probably have to wait for one of Lhasa festivals. If you are interested in dancing, you could ask the local people for the dancing halls around the town where offer a mildly nationalistic mix of disco, traditional Tibetan line dancing, lots of beer and a bit of Chinese karaoke thrown in for good measure.
