Nestled in the heart of old Lhasa, Jokhang Temple is the spiritual soul of Tibet and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in 647 by King Songtsen Gampo, it boasts over 1,300 years of history.
A masterpiece blending Tibetan, Han and Nepalese architecture, it features white walls, golden roofs and exquisite carvings. The most revered treasure is the 12-year-old Sakyamuni Buddha statue, brought by Princess Wencheng.
As Tibet's holiest site, it draws pilgrims worldwide. Devout believers circle the Barkhor Street, turning prayer wheels and lighting butter lamps. More than a temple, it's a symbol of Tibetan Buddhism and ethnic harmony, witnessing centuries of faith and cultural fusion.
