When you visit Lhasa, don't just go to Jokhang Temple; the Zhayeba Temple, located 30 kilometers away, is the real hidden gem.
We chartered a car from downtown Lhasa and drove east along the Lhasa River Valley. The mountains outside the car window gradually changed from yellowish-brown to ochre red. About an hour later, the driver dropped me off at the end of a sandy road and said, "We're here. Walk up yourself."
