The Barkhor refers to
Lhasa's pilgrimage circuit,
a quadrangle of streets that
surrounds the Jokhang and
some of the old buildings
adjoining it. It is an area
unrivalled in Tibet for its
fascinating combination of
deep religiosity and
push-and-shove market
economics. Barkhor is both
the spiritual heart of the
holy city and the main
commercial district for
Tibetans. |
