Barkhor Street is located in the old area of Lhasa City and surrounding the Jokhang Temple. Barkhor is the oldest street in Tibet, symbol of Lhasa and tourists´ attraction as it shows the original look of the city. Although Barkhor street is a busy shopping place it preserves religious atmosphere and you can see their many pilgrims making their way to Jokhang Temple.

The Barkhor is the innermost street circling the Jokhang. The street seen here is (I think) the next street outward. It no longer looks quite like this. Because the Barkhor itself is lined with tourist stalls, most of the Tibetan local produce vendors have moved to this street.
