Tsamkhung Nunnery Tea House

A fence leads its way to the Tsamkhung Nunnery Tea House located outside the Tsamkhung Nunnery(Cang Gu Nunnery). It is a place where devoted Tibetan pilgrims with prayer wheels love to stop by and have a rest. Sweet tea sold at a reasonable price in the tea house is known for tasty flavor and strong fragrance.  Besides, Tibetan noodles and steamed stuffed bun are also good choices. The sweet tea will be served by amicable nuns while you are enjoying the street view in the semi-open teahouse. It will surely be an unusual experience.

Guangming Gangqiong Tea House

Guangming Gangqiong Sweet Tea House, the most famous sweet tea house in Lhasa, is located near the Barkhor street. For those who come for the first time, they are very likely to get amazed at the boisterous atmosphere in this place. Sweet tea here is sold 0.6 yuan per cup. Waiters or waitresses may come and serve you as long as they see an empty cup and the pay on the table. As a tradition, the tea house closes exactly at 5 o’clock no matter how profitable the business would be. 

Snowy Happy Tea House

What's special about the teahouse is that the money it made will be denoted to Dekyi Orphanage, a orphanage run by an extraordinary Tibetan woman named Dadron. All the money needed for the day-to-day running of the orphanage comes from Snowy Happy Tea House’s contribution and the donation from kind people. The 80 orphans consisting of Tibetans and children of Han nationality are adopted in the Dekyi Orphanage. Tourists may come and have a taste of sweet tea and do charity at the same time.
