Road trip to Tibet, Day 13—Bakuo Street ( 八廓街）
Till today , our team already break, just stay our two girls , others cause still have job, need to come back their city, maybe we will not meet each other again, a bit sad 😢.
Me and Jing cause no job, and we thought 💭, we spend so long time to arrive Tibet, arrive Lhasa, that isn’t means the end, Lhasa still have something to explore, maybe next time we come Tibet is many years later, we can’t come back now, at least go to the lake Yamzho Yumco！
We book the day trip to the lake Yamzho Yumco tomorrow, and today, we will explore Bakuo Street(八廓街), which a famous old street in Lhasa!
Bakuo Street is a round street around the Jokhang Temple(大昭寺), when you walk in this street , you will find all people walk on one way , no one walk opposite.
That's because after the ancient King of Tibet build the Jokhang Temple, many the Tibetan walk around the Temple for blessing, and then the road around the Jokhang Temple became Bakuo Street .
Till now many Tibetan still blessing around this street , and all of them walk follow the clockwise ,the tourist also follow them ,when you walk in this street , you can see many pilgrimage Tibetan like below .
When we arrived Bakuo Street, there was snowing ❄️, have a moment ,I felt I was came back to the ancient time !
A famous butter tea shop in Bakuo Street , they still keep the old selling method, when you walk in , you can see many local people also like to drink here .
Although here is so famous ,but their tea is not expensive. You can buy by cup , 1 cup just 1 CNY.
You also can buy by pot , a pot like below just 10 CNY , around 10 cup , that means the same price as by cup ,but if buy by pot , you need to pay a deposit , around 20 CNY, when you return the pot , they will return you the deposit.
The sweet butter tea really tasty , as I ever mentioned , butter tea have two taste ,one is salty , one is sweet , I don't like salty ,but I like sweet so much ~
Another famous shop in Bakuo Street is this restaurent named Makye Ame(玛吉阿米), here is selling the Nepal food, but I feel that's a bit expensive .
We have dinner here at night , you can get the most good view for Bakuo Street in this restaurant , especially at night , the lights turn on, no more tourist , a quite ancient street .
And the Central of the street , the most famous Temple --- Jokhang Temple(大昭寺), everyday you come here , you can find many Tibetan are pilgrimage here ,not just day time ,also at night.
