                                Johkang Monastery

The Jokhang Monastery is located on Barkhor Square in Lhasa.For most Tibetans it is the most sacred and important temple in Tibet. There is a rare silver Buddha and many musical instruments in Johkang Monastery. The Tang-Tubo Alliance Monument marking the meeting for this purpose between Tang and Tubo erected in 823 still stands in the square in front of the Jokhang Monastery. It is estimated that more than one million religious believers go to Jokhang in Lhasa to pay homage and burn incense to Buddha each year.Along with the Potala Palace , it is probably the most popular tourist attraction in Lhasa.
