Barkhor Street. - There's probably no other street like it in the world

🎀 I have heard such a sentence: "In the world, I am afraid I can't find a second street like Barkhor Street, which carries faith and gathers merchants at the same time." Accept thousands of believers worship at the same time, smile to welcome tourists from all over the world, continue the historical mission at the same time deduce their own legend "👍🏻

🎀 Everyone says that if you go to Tibet, you must go to Barkhor Street, because it is a gathering place for religion, economy, culture and ethnic handicrafts. To Barkhor Street, Jokhang Temple as a starting point, clockwise play, you can go to visit the free attractions ~

📍 The monument of the Association of the Tang Dynasty, just in front of the Jokhang Temple, has a history of more than one thousand years, the handwriting has been patchy and unclear. 📍 The former Site of the Yamen of Ministers in Tibet Chengliguan is the former site of the Yamen of Ministers in Tibet of Qing Government.

📍 Gendun Qunpei Memorial Hall, Gendun Qunpei Contemporary Art Gallery, commemorates Tibetan academic master and enlightenment thinker Gendun Qunpei.
The view of Barkhor Street is worthy of the saying "as far as the eye can see". Of course, you can also sit under the cricket trees to relax and enjoy the bustling street view.

🍱 Special food:
🎈 Maji Ami Restaurant bar, taste the special Tibetan food, according to legend, this is where the sixth Dalai Lama Cangyang Gyatso met Maji Ami, and now it has become an Internet celebrity restaurant. You get a great view of the street from the roof. (Opposite the restaurant is the Tang Ka mural, millennium old tree net red punch point)

🎈 ancient tree yogurt, wall of notes, yogurt rich and mellow.
🎈 Lassana Massud restaurant, full of exotic flavor, curry fragrance. It's a Nepali restaurant.
🎈 Lime Du Coffee in Shaza courtyard, enjoy coffee while looking at ancient buildings
Want to shop casually in the street shop, Tibetan incense shop, wool card mat shop, collection shop, all kinds of thangka shop, bookstore, Tibetan jewelry shop... Any one of them is full of character.

It is not only a good place for tourism, but also a path of faith in the hearts of Tibetan compatriots. You will see an endless stream of people who are reverently bowing their heads and chanting, holding the wheel in their hands, turning one step at a time, regardless of wind or rain, without interruption.

I arrived at Barkhor Street at five o 'clock in the afternoon, chatting with two local brothers on the roadside steps and watching the passing pedestrians and believers turning the Bible. The two boys are twins and told me a lot of things to pay attention to:

1️⃣ In Barkhor street, it is best to walk clockwise, the same direction as the believers turn the sutra, although we do not worship counter-clockwise and no one says, but in their land still respect the custom
2️⃣ Don't wear shorts and short skirts above the knee (before I thought I should pay attention to entering the temple, in fact, Barkhor Street is close to the Great Jokhang Temple), my little brother told me that although no one will be too drastic now, but very senior believers will still be uncomfortable.
