Souvenirs and handcraft China - Tibet

Shopping

The Barkhor, a big market near the Jokhang temple (Buddhist sanctuary), offers the biggest choice of souvenirs and Tibetan objects. The Barkhor is a pilgrimage trip lined by stalls, tea houses, and full of travelling salesmen. Pilgrims stock up on various religious objects, statuettes, shrines, prayer banners, amber and silver jewellery, and incense sticks here... You have to bargain and be aware that these items are not antiques (export is very controlled), but have often been recently manufactured in Nepal. In Shigatse you can find a few Tibetan items in the market and carpets in the interesting factory to visit. Shops are open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on week days.
