The street, a must-see for tourists to Lhasa, is a staging ground for the city’s religion, economy, culture, handcrafts and Tibetan customs.
Pilgrims' Holy Road
Originally, the street was the road where pilgrims either walk or crawl around the Jokhang Temple [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] since it was first constructed in the seventh century. Thus, it is also called Holy Road by Tibetans. For Tibetan Buddhists, circling around the Jokhang Temple is called prayer, which shows worship to the Sakyamuni inside the temple. Everyday, there are pilgrims who made mysterious "one step one bow" way to the temple.
