Where to buy?
If you just want to buy some inexpensive accessories, gadgets or clothing, the best place is Barkhor Street, but there are many stuff not really made in Tibet so you must distinguish carefully. If you want to buy some valuable stuff, such as turquoise and beeswax, you'd better buy it in stores instead of stalls on Barkhor Street, such as Lhasa Ethnic Tourism Handicraft Mall. To buy Thangka, please go to the Thangka store. If you want to buy Tibetan medicine, cordyceps, snow lotus, saffron or something, go to a pedestrian street (Yutuo Road) in front of the main entrance of Jokhang Temple as there are more regular stores. If you want to experience shopping as the locals, Chongsaikang Tashi Market is a good place to go. It is the local shopping market, where the featured food and clothing are much cheaper than the tourist shops.
