In the history of Tibetan photography, there are footprints left by pilgrims from Russia, expeditionary forces from England and India, as well as exploration teams and inspection teams from various countries. In the first half of the 20th century, they captured many precious images, which were also published in internationally renowned magazines such as National Geographic and Life.

Lhasa
Our narration always revolves around this ancient city known as the City of Good Fortune(དཔལ་གྱི་ཆོས་འཁོར་ལྷ་ས།) - Lhasa. As the central hub of the former Tibetan region, Lhasa is embraced and nourished by the moist monsoon winds of the valley. This has given birth to a unique urban culture and tradition.

Roblanka Tiancheng Garden (Lake Heart Palace)
We always refer to this palace, rich in the atmosphere of Han Dynasty gardens, as "Lake Heart Palace" (མཚོ་དཀྱིལ་ཕོ་བྲང་། 措吉颇章), but its official name is "Heavenly Garden" (ལྷུན་གྲུབ་དགའ་ཚལ། 伦珠噶采).

Jiangzi, known as the "Crystal City"(ཤེལ་དཀར་རྒྱལ་རྩེ།), is one of the four major commercial towns in Tibet. When travelers see the magnificent stupa of the Palkhor Monastery, they can truly feel that the hardships and exhaustion of the journey were not in vain. This is also the forefront of contact with foreign civilizations in Tibet. Daz, Ronghepeng, Tuqi... People from afar have also left unforgettable memories here.
