Barkhor Street Review

Barkor Street where you can buy souvenirs for a fair price. On weekends you will find many locals on their way to Jokhang Temple. If you want some Western food, I’m this street also has a KFC and Pizza Hut.

Barkhor Street is the main street in Lhasa. The whole street is a historical building, architectural style, color is full of Tibetan colors. It is a must-visit place for tourists, but it is not too commercial at all. The shops are all local small shops. There are no chain stores of that kind of capital, which are very distinctive. There are many public toilets and they are still clean. The overall health is good. There are also many choices in the restaurant teahouse, a good place to eat, drink and play.

One of Lhasa's most famous commercial streets, all kinds of Tibetan-style shops are in scale, must go to take a set of Tibetan-style photo, put on a gorgeous Tibetan costume and walk on Barkhor Street to feel the happiness of Tibetans! Sitting on the bar terrace at night overlooking the cloth palace, full of stars, feeling the surprise of the stars.

The temple is particularly large, with a long history of architecture and many worshippers. We listened to the explanation while traveling, which was shocked by Tibetan Buddhist culture.

What to play in Barkhor Street, arrange! Come to Barkhor Street, Tibetan photography is indispensable, you may step on Leiha, but it is still possible to experience Tibetan clothes. There is also a round Barkhor Street, you can see many Tibetan fellows with long heads, you can feel the power of the heart. For lunch, I recommend the Chijiang Laran Ancient Courtyard kitchen in Barkhor Street. It is a Nepalese meal. Although the price is small, it is delicious and the environment is particularly good. It is very comfortable in the yard on the first floor of the hotel in Chijiang La. In the afternoon, you can go to the Jokhang Temple. In the evening, you can go to the night market of the mosque to eat some snacks. The fruit is very cheap. It is a little later. You can go to the cafe on the roof of the Gorkha Hotel to eat and drink at 8 o'clock. There is an observation deck on the roof to see the night view of the Potala Palace. It is very shocking. You can also go to the cafe on the roof of the Cidu Hotel next to it. The view is also very good. The hotels and B&Bs in Barkhor Street are very distinctive. It is good to choose a night market at night.

在藏语中，“八廓”是“中转经道”的意思。八廓街引又名八角街，位于拉萨市城关区，是拉萨著名的转经道和商业中心，较完整地保存了古城的传统面貌和居住方式。八廓街原街道只是单一围绕大昭寺的转经道，藏族人称为“圣路”。现逐渐扩展为围绕大昭寺周围的大片旧式老街区。八廓街是由八廓东街、八廓西街、八廓南街和八廓北街组成多边形街道环，周长约1000余米，街内岔道较多，有街巷35个。八廓街属城关区八廓街办事处，下辖4个居委会，199个居民大院。

每个城市都有一条颇具特色历史的街道。拉萨自然也有，那就是八廓街了，别具特色的房子，川流不息的人群，藏域风情的商品，再随着人群走一走那就是一段美好的旅程。
