I like Jokhang Temple to see the culture of the Tibetan people.

When they are tired, they sit on the ground, eat something, and then continue to worship. How many times can they do a worship action that is as difficult as a burpee in a day? Some locals say that they have to do it every day, a total of 100,000 times, which is incredible. There is a certificate after completion. Before entering Jokhang Temple, I saw a group of believers queuing outside. Some of them brought babies, and some of them were inconvenient to move and queued for several hours with crutches. From Jokhang Temple, I saw that religious beliefs have flowed into the blood of every Tibetan. Xiong and I followed several monks and saw the whole process of buying gold and melting gold to help the Buddha statue with gold leaf. I think Jokhang Temple is more worth visiting than Potala Palace. Potala Palace is free in the off-season. Walking in Potala Palace is like hiking. It is not recommended to go to Tibet on the first day.
