Lhasa City Series

Critics PageApril 2023

I wouldn’t be surprised if Lhasa, Tibet’s capital city, is one of the fastest changing cities in the world. Whenever I go back, I’m astonished to see all the changes. Sometimes I feel as if I can’t recognize my own city. Nevertheless, some parts remain the same. I enjoy walking through familiar alleys and areas because it brings me back to my childhood in Lhasa. I want to share my memories with others, the images, and the buildings of Lhasa city as I remember them.
