Jokhang Temple

Wonderful monastery and and the most sacred Tibetan buddhist temple in Lhassa and in China for the buddhist practitioners. Built in 640 BC, it contains the statue of the living Buddha at the age of 12. This was brought by Queen Wenchen from India. There are a lot of chapels with many statues, some very ancient. The center is compact and you might feel a little oppressed. However, the spirituality and the practices by the monks are lively there. So this The temple to visit in Lhassa, according to my experience. NB No pics allowed in the central part.

大昭寺！ another famous temple to visit! There are a lot of prayers doing praying activities out there. Respected. Outside of temple, there are commercial circle out there, you can have little shopping session over there.

A very busy place, with all the pilgrims who come here to worship, and tourists like me. It is stunningly beautiful, with the mountains in the background and the indoor portions (where photos aren't allowed). I learned alot about the Buddhist religion and history. The local people there were so friendly. Truly inspiring and enjoyable!

The Jokhang Temple in Lhasa is the most sacred and spiritually significant temple in all of Tibetan Buddhism. Unlike the great monastic universities on the outskirts of the city, the Jokhang sits in the heart of the old town, serving as the ultimate pilgrimage destination for Tibetans.

Absolutely beautiful experience, filled with wonders and charm with its rich culture. I was here on 2 separate days, day time as well as night. While the day is buzzing with Buddhists on their pilgrimage and curious tourists, the night scene of the Bakhor Street (where the Jokhang temple is located) is equally breathtaking. With so much to see and explore, this place is a must visit when you are in Lhasa! A mindful reminder to be respectful to Buddhists on their pilgrimage making their prayers, to always give them ample space and refrain from taking any photos of them.

Jokhang temple is near Barkhor street , one of the liveliest area in Lhasa. Jokhang temple is one of the most scared temple in Lhasa as it hold the Buddha Princess Wenchang brought to Tibet . There are several chapels in this temple and pilgrims come to visit the temple on regular basis and will walk clockwise through the temple and surrounding square .

Beautiful temple in central lhasa. As always no pictures inside.

Besides the Potala Palace, this is another must visit landmark in Lhasa. One of the statues is 4500 years old which arrived in Lhasa as a princess dowry. One of the most sacret temple here and everything is well maintained.
