Hello, I just know the following two restaurants:
1) You can walk to Wangfujing Street from your hotel and find Donglaishun Muslim Restaurant (Wangfujing Branch). The address is No.198, Wangfujing Dajie, Dongcheng District and 85 Yuan per person averagely.
2) It is a little far away from the hotel and located at No.26, Dianmanwai Da Jie, Xicheng District. The name is Wangdelou Muslim Restaurant. The average cost is about CNY 30.

I read from a guide book that there is a very good 5 star hotel in Lhasa, which is Brahmaptura Grand Hotel. I have searched on the internet, but found no much information or comments on this hotel. Is there any one who can give me some suggestions?

Hi Ann, welcome to China. :)
My advice for temple visiting:
1. don''t take photo with the buddhas or touch the buddha statues in the temple;
2. don''t talk loudly;
3. don''t dress too exposed, as short pants, slippers, vest...
For dressing when attend the performance, there is no strict restriction. Just as comfortable as you like. For the captain''s welcome party, the formal dresses are appreciated to show your esteem.
So much I know. Enjoy your time in China.

We have just settled our plan for China visit next year. We notice that there are lots of temples/ monasteries in our itinerary, Temple of Heaven, Lama Monastery, Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple... Is there any taboo should we pay special attention to? What is appropriate dress for monastery and temple visit? We will also attend some shows or party, like Peking Opera, Portman Acrobatics show and the welcome party on the cruise. Need we take some formal dress/ suits? Waiting for your kind advice...
