The most sacred street in Lhasa: Barkhor Street

☘️Barkhor Street, also known as Octagonal Street, is located in the old city of Lhasa. It is one of the oldest streets in Lhasa and a famous pilgrimage route. It originated in the 7th century AD, and here you can find traditional Tibetan culture: Jokhang Temple, sweet tea, butter tea, and devout pilgrims. 🌿Barkhor Street is composed of Barkhor East Street, Barkhor West Street, Barkhor South Street, and Barkhor North Street, forming a polygonal street ring with a circumference of about 1000 meters and 35 alleys. When walking on the street, you must follow the clockwise direction, which is consistent with the rotation direction of the prayer wheel. 🍁When you go to Barkhor Street, you must go to the Tsangyang Gyatso Secret Palace Maji Ami Pub to take a look. It is a yellow two-story building. Tsangyang Gyatso and Maji Ami met here and wrote the widely acclaimed 'On that Eastern Mountain Top'. 💰Ticket price: Free ⏳Play time: 2-4 hours 📍Detailed address: Chengguan District, Lhasa City, Tibet
