大昭寺与八廓街

The Jokhang Temple is the spiritual core of Lhasa and an important component of the world heritage complex. The barracks surrounding the temple are not only a clockwise pilgrimage route, but also a market, residential area and daily public space. Its significance comes from the worship and community life that continues to this day, not just the historical facade. When visiting, the temple, prayer route and surrounding lanes should be viewed as a living cultural landscape, while leaving space for pilgrims and respecting the privacy of residents.
