Handicraft stall introduction: In the 7th century, the Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo ordered the construction of the Jokhang Temple in Wotang Lake. At the same time, four palaces were built around the lake. He moved to the palace with his concubines and subjects to personally supervise the progress of the Jokhang Temple project. The four palaces are the earliest buildings in Barkhor Street. After the Jokhang Temple was built, it attracted many pilgrims to worship. Over time, a path around the Jokhang Temple gradually formed, which became the original Barkhor Street. 18 family-style buildings were successively built around the temple to provide accommodation for believers or businessmen who traveled far away for pilgrimage.
