Lhasa’s White Pagoda (白塔) is a bright stupa wrapped in prayer-flag bustle, with circumambulation paths that produce flowing street compositions and crisp architectural geometry. Visit early morning or late afternoon for softer light against the white surfaces; weekdays are calmer. Expect high altitude (~3,650m), cooler air, and changeable weather—dress and plan for quick shoots. It’s in central Chengguan and usually walk- or taxi-accessible; no special permits are typically needed, but carry ID.
