Xiaozhaosi Road

I was very lucky to meet a monk at a small Zhao Temple on the road. He took me through the streets and alleys to the small Zhao Temple. This road can experience the unique taste of Tibet, so that your heart is very calm.

A road full of humanistic atmosphere is very lively from morning to night. In the early morning, there are many worshippers chanting prayers and praying, followed by the shops opening, selling clothes, books, fried potatoes, and many sweet tea houses. Especially lively

The stone-brick road in front of the gate of Lhasa's Xiaozhao Temple is called Xiaozhao Temple Road. It is a pedestrian street in the north and south, connecting Linkuo North Road and Beijing East Road. The pedestrian street is not long, the area is four or five hundred meters, but on both sides are a variety of shops, selling local products and crafts, and the building along the road retains a strong Tibetan style, the sense of vision is very unique.

The temple, located about 500 meters north of Barkhor Street in Lhasa, was built in 641 (the Tibetan calendar and the Year of the Ox) in the middle of the 7th century. It was built by Princess Wencheng. The existing building area of the temple is 4,000 square meters. The temple mainly serves the 8-year-old statue of Sakyamuni and many precious cultural relics. Therefore, in 1962, it was announced by the State Council as a key cultural relics protection unit at the autonomous region level, and in 2001 it was listed as a key cultural relics protection unit nationwide.

Xiaozhao Temple Road is the most lively commercial street in Lhasa, which is located in front of the Xiaozhao Temple. The shops on both sides of the road have only three floors at most, and they are all dyed colorfully with Tibetan plant paint, which is very beautiful. The whole road has both businessmen and tourists, and there are devout believers, and everyone is intertwined with a picture of the thriving city of Lhasa.

Follow Danjielin Road all the way north, to Beijing East Road, then on Xiaozhaosi Road. I feel that the road is much smaller, it is a pedestrian street, the ground is flat and clean, the marble is laid, the road sign is not big, the seedlings are surrounded by stone fences, the first floor on both sides is full of shops, the three or four floors are very neat, there are Jingyu on the roof with colorful flags. Maybe not the tourist season, there are not many pedestrians on the road.
