The Northeast side of the route is a market, where many of the hawkers are Han Chinese.
(When I was in Xinjiang a few years ago, the eyes (on average) seems more suspicous/hostile)
Aerial map of Potala Palace (the red "B" to the right are the burnt building, further east and south are the areas cover in anecdote (1) )
Potala Palace from the south og Beijing Road. The 5 star flag and a few guards in morning
The view to south (front door) from atop Potala. Tibetans praying in the front of the Palace (on Beijing Road)
Tibetans pray in front of Potala
Front gate. Tibetans waited at the Potala gate. By showing a Tibetan ID they can enter Potala (I assume other monasteries as well) for free, since this is part of their religious activities
Walking up the stairs on Potala
Tibetan Pilgrims. For security reason liquid is not allowed in (!). But this Tibetan pilgrim has a thermo-flask. I had been puzzled for a while but later found that it was a container for the "candle oil"
Atop the palace. A dozen PAP there seems to be quite relaxed. One of their jobs is stopping people from taking pictures upstairs.
"Pagodas" on Northeast corner under Potala
East side of Potala: crowd full of Tibetan pilgrims
West side of Potala. Tibetans walk around the Palace. The pilgrims perform the ritual (full body on floor facing downward) at the front (The pilgrims from out of town have to do this every few steps for the whole journey).
