 It's all about the
prayers! by jadedmuse
As for "nightlife" activity, I think there really isn't any -not even in the capital city of Lhasa. Remember, Tibet was a deeply religious (still is, if you think strictly the Tibetans) country so things like bars and discos are non-existent. Should you come across any cultural "shows" or anything like that, I'd be dubious. Anyways, that's not why you're there, is it?

 having drinks with the "happy
few" by Bonobo2005
They're set up for the local rich and a bit stylish, but can be big fun though. For us it was !
In the 1st club we went (early) we were continiously monitored by 4 Chinese security agents. The Tibetan customers were afraid to talk to us.
In the 2nd club (after midnight) also loads of PSB agents, but drunk and dancing. No hassle, good fun. I don't know the names but there was no cover charge, so you can walk in and out as you like! Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubDirections: much choice in the Dekyl Nub Lam-area

Tibetan Opera was founded by Tong Tong Gyalpo in the 15th century and is used to express Tibetan literature to the people. Since the reign of the 5th Dalai Lama, opera has been performed at monastery festivals. Actors wear special costumes and often hold a ‘datha’ (sword) in their left hand to express good luck and to help the carrier obtaining pure thoughts.
These pictures show the following dances:
1. The 8th Century Ashi Sholpa Dance with symbolises luck and happiness
2. Music from Kong Bo, about 150km east of Lhasa
3. A dance which represents the daily life of Tibetans, building monasteries etc.
4. Music from West Tibet, called the Ngari Oung Dance
5. An opera handed down through farmer family generations, traditional girls performing the Nang Ma. Leave a Comment Theme: Theater

There is no real night life in Easter Tibet. You have to go to Lhasa to get some. However, looking at the Milky Way is fantasist when you are in the middle of no ware and miles away from even the smallest village. You can see billions and billions of stars.
Normally it is not advisable to drive at night in Eastern Tibet. Sometimes the roads are horrible. However, we had to return back because a rock slide took out a road and we wanted to get back ASAP so we could fly to Lhasa.
See my other tips, travel logs, and my Tibet, Lhasa pages for more information on my Overland trip across Eastern Tibet.
Please rate this and my other tips when you find them interesting, useful, or like the photos.
No one is there so wear anything you want. :) Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Just look UP :)
