For more than 1,300 years, Barkhor Street has been the spiritual and commercial heart of Lhasa. Encircling the sacred Jokhang Temple, this ancient street once linked Tibetan traditions with trade routes across Central Asia and beyond. Today, its winding lanes remain alive with pilgrims, bustling stalls, fluttering prayer flags and the aroma of butter tea.
Here, centuries of culture, faith and daily life meet at every corner.
