The wigs of the wigs were also compiled by myself.

Photos Location This group of photos was taken in Lhasa downtown landmark - Jokhang Temple & Bajiao Street There are many photos special Amazing place! For example, the prayer wheel, the unique yellow bricks in Tibet, the ancient mottled stone gates... photo time Lhasa sunset time is about 7pm, and it is sunny all day long. So the light is especially filming! Photo props I was also the first time to take the Tibetan costume, so I was completely inexperienced on how to shoot~ I was very nervous about asking the photographer Miss sister photographing Know how to enter the state, you can bring some national wind props For example, hand-held prayer wheel, big red shawl, national wind mask ... hands have these pictures supernatural!

The road that can't block the pilgrims when taking pictures at the prayer wheel These are the beliefs of the locals

Read much about Namaste in Lhasa on the internet. Restaurant is pretty popular and was packed when we arrived. After a 20 minute wait, we got a table. The menu had Indian/nepali, tibetan, chinese, we settled for the indian/nepali food. It was of reasonable quality both in terms of taste and price. One big drawback for me was they allow people to smoke inside the restaurant. So if you are a non-smoker you lose your appetite pretty quick

I landed at noon and rushed to Barkhor Street in the afternoon. It offers a different vibe during the day and at night. You can buy souvenirs at a reasonable price. Enjoy some Tibetan butter tea. Take a portrait with your best friend. The next day, I visited the Jokhang Temple, which requires advance reservation. There's a great yak meat hotpot restaurant.

Visiting Tibet, to feel the power of faith, Barkhor Street is the place to be. In Tibetan, Barkhor means 'intermediate pilgrimage circuit', and it was originally a circumambulation route built around the Jokhang Temple. During my eight days in Tibet, I went to Barkhor Street three times, which made me feel the strong faith of Tibetan Buddhism. On Barkhor Street, I met a pair of Tibetan brothers who prostrated all the way from Garze to Lhasa, which was truly shocking to me. 🌈Touring tips 1⃣On Barkhor Street, there are many Tibetans who perform circumambulation and prostration. They all walk clockwise around the Jokhang Temple, and visitors should also follow the clockwise route. 2⃣Entering Barkhor Street requires a security check, so be sure to bring your ID. At the entrance of the Jokhang Temple, you can see many prostrating pilgrims; please do not speak loudly when touring. 3⃣There are many shops selling handicrafts on Barkhor Street, especially turquoise and amber jewelry, so be sure to discern carefully. 🌈Some recommended shops 📍Ancient Tree Yogurt: Next to a huge tree on Barkhor Street, there are many types of yogurt, and the osmanthus yogurt is good, which is decent for an internet-famous shop. 📍Makye Ame: A yellow house, also an internet-famous Tibetan restaurant, tells the love story of Tsangyang Gyatso, and the taste is just okay. 📍A Diao Milk Tea: This can be said to be the Tibetan version of 'TeaYanYueSe', I bought a cup and it felt okay, not as bad as some online reviews say. 📍Old Guangming Gangqiong Sweet Tea House: This can be said to be the most popular sweet tea house nearby, just put a coin in a cup and someone will come to pour you a cup, it's a good atmosphere to experience.

Youth has no price tag, getting injections all the way to Lhasa, the impromptu Tibet trip of two sisters. Day1-2: A routine of hotel and hospital. Day3: Barkhor Street and its surrounding areas, indulging in various recommended eateries and fun places suggested by outsiders to outsiders. Day4: Planned to visit Potala Palace and the Heaven Post Office, as well as Medicine King Mountain, but ended up being brainwashed by an auntie right after lunch into taking a limited one-day 'Tibetan beauty' photo shoot. Originally planned for the last day, by the time we finished choosing photos, all the attractions were closed, leaving us to casually enjoy the night view. Day5-6: A two-day tour in Nyingchi, can't remember the names of all the places we visited, just know we stayed by the Yarlung Tsangpo River, with a view of Mount Namjagbarwa from the window, a sight not often seen by many, not sure if it counts as 'sunlit golden mountain'. Day7: What a coincidence, it was November 1st, the start of winter travel in Tibet, with most attractions free of charge. Saved 200 yuan visiting Potala Palace, climbing up to the 13th floor was indeed tiring, but the guided tour was really interesting. The exit leads to the Heaven Post Office and the song 'A'Diao', just a pity that Medicine King Mountain was temporarily closed for renovation. Started visiting popular snack shops, ending up with a mouth ulcer. Day8-11: A four-day tour to Mount Everest, had planned an additional five-day tour to Namtso, but it was closed due to snowfall during those days. Left some regrets, will visit again when the 'Gate of the Holy Elephant' is open. Along the 318, first visited Yamdrok Lake, a blue that can't be captured by a phone, followed by Karola and others, hung prayer flags, scattered Lungta, stayed in Shigatse, took the classic tourist photo at Everest, got my scalp wind-chapped while squatting for the 'sunlit golden mountain'. It's a pity that the base camp was canceled, where's the promised stargazing and wild disco? The 108 bends in the mountain road could confuse me, casually snapping photos at Qilin Gorge. Day12: Back to Lhasa, indulging in hotpot and meat, leisurely strolling around Day13: Leisurely lunch, then the ✈️ back to Shenzhen in the afternoon. In summary, if you don't go to Tibet, you'll always long to go; when you're in Tibet and not feeling well, you can't wait to go home. So, before entering Tibet, you really need to plan well and rest well. If you ask me if I want to go again, at least not in the near future. If I do, it would be a self-driving trip to Ali!!!
