Lhasa is the capital of Tibet. Tibet is quite an exotic place to visit. You will feel like you somehow landed in an issue of National Geographic: colorful monks with prayer wheels, magnificient landscapes, great monasteries and palaces and funny smelling yaks.

Lhasa can be reached from Chengdu by plane (two daily flights) and from Beijing. From Golmud you can take a bus with a stop in Amdo. From Nepal you can fly or come by bus. You need to get the necessary permits form the Chinese embassy. For the brave: try to get here from Kashgar.
