The Jokhang Temple is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery that holds a supreme position in Tibetan Buddhism. It was listed as a world cultural heritage in 2000. The Jokhang Temple was built in the heyday of the Tubu Dynasty in the seventh century. The purpose of the construction is legendary to worship a statue of Mingjiu Dorji Buddha, which is the eight-year-old statue of Sakyamuni. It is said that the Nepalese Princess Chizun married by Songzan Ganbu, the Tubu king, was brought from his hometown. It was said that it was a lake, and under the efforts of the Tubu king, it was filled and built as a monastery.

The long and short street is flowing from the fate of a previous life. The bracelet in your glance is the fate of the previous life. You look up at the clouds in the sky, the fate of the floating world. The people who seem to know you in front of you are the fate of your Buddha.

There are many devout believers in the long head at the gate of the Jokhang Temple. To be honest, the first time I saw it, I was really shocked. You can fight a tour guide at the door, 30 people. It is recommended to fight one, you can understand history and culture, better than watching the flowers. Tickets 85, no student tickets, Tibetans can take free passage. The scenery on the second floor is quite good and can be photographed. Note that some Buddhas on the first floor cannot be photographed.
