GeneralXizang is Tibet. Lhasa is the capital. This thread includes many other cities in Tibet, such as Nyingchi, Barkam, Shigatse, and Chamdo. etc. It's not just Lhasa.Xizang (guessing former name was Lhasa) is a lovely city - now modernized thanks to Chinese investments and technology.
The combination of Chinese culture and Tibetan culture is a dynamite combination and I'm sure contributes to a very interesting and enjoyable stay, cuisine being a large part of it (other than the visit to the Potala Palace area).
How long should one plan to stay? A week? or maybe two? Don't know how expensive hotels are, compared to Shanghai or Beijing.
