Barkhor Street and Jokhang Temple in Lhasa are must-visits in a lifetime

It is said that the status of Jokhang Temple in Lhasa is even higher than that of the Potala Palace, with the Jokhang Temple being established before the Potala Palace. You need to make a reservation one day in advance to visit Jokhang Temple, and you can walk around the temple along Barkhor Street. This is also a sacred place for pilgrimage, where people kneel and worship devoutly for their faith. There are several places worth checking in on Barkhor Street: 1. Old Tree Yogurt There is an old tree in front of the store, which specializes in yogurt, with prices ranging from 12 to 20 yuan. 2. Makye Ame Restaurant Bar The love story of Tsangyang Gyatso and Makye Ame is passed down here. 3. Tibetan Cuisine There is a Tibetan restaurant on the street worth trying if you haven't before, located opposite Old Tree Yogurt. The service is very good, with Tibetan hotpot, and the beef is a bit tough to chew. 4. Travel Photography There are several travel photography shops in the old street where you can dress in Tibetan clothing for a photo shoot. 5. You can buy prayer beads, as almost every Tibetan carries a string.
