Accommodation
1 Tenzin Hotel Opposite the market on Bangchelling
0892/8822018 A long-standing travellers' haunt but renovation has removed its ramshackle charm; it now looks like everywhere else and charges twice as much. Doubles and six-bed dorms. Price: hostel ¥35Price: hotel ¥50-79
2 Orchard Hotel Zhufeng Lu
0892/8820234 The Orchard has possibly the plushest dorms in China, as well as decent mid-range rooms. Price: hostel ¥40Price: hotel ¥50–139
3 Shigatse Hotel 13 Shanghai Zhonglu
0892/8822525 Tour-group hotel, a bit out of the way, and it's rather cavernous if there aren't plenty of people around. There's the choice of taking heavily decorated "Tibetan-style" rooms over the cookie-cutter Chinese options. Discounts often given. Price: ¥450-599
4 Zhufeng Youyi Binguan Puzhang Lu
0892/8821929 Fairly upmarket facilities, but it's a bit out of town. Price: ¥300-449
