Centering the Jokhang Temple and having various featured stores scattered along, the Barkhor Street is one of the places where pilgrims and tourists must go in Lhasa, capital city of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region.

On the street you could buy almost all the Tibetan styled goods you want, such as costumes, utensils and accessories.

The following photos show some snapshots of the Barkhor Street.
