Lhalu Wetland, Natural Oxygen Bar of Lhasa
In Lhasa, where the oxygen content is just 60 percent of that of the plain area, a place known as the "natural oxygen bar" is highly prized by residents. Located northwest of the historic Potala Palace, Lhalu Wetland is a tranquil garden in the noisy city. As the highest wetland in the world with an average altitude of 3,645 meters, it has long drawn attention due to its rare position and important function.The combination of Lhalu Wetland and Potala Palace with a strikingly blue sky has become one of the postcard images of Lhasa. Scientists say the wetland is very important in a place deficient of breathable air because it generates 61,000 tons of oxygen and absorbs 78,800 tons of carbon dioxide each year.
