A romantic Tibetan restaurant in Lhasa
Makye Ame is a famous Tibetan restaurant in Lhasa. Located in the southeast corner of Barkor Street in Lhasa, Makye Ame becomes a great attraction with its strong Tibetan characteristics. Especially, the Tibetan singers give excellent performances on the second floor, attracting many foreign guests.
This restaurant endowed with profound culture significance and commercial value is even on the list of must-visit places in Lhasa for tourists. Many foreign tourists like to enjoy the exotic food in the restaurant while watching the ethnic performances, and put down their feelings on its message notebooks. When there was no space on the notebook, some even write their words on a piece of napkin and placed it in the notebook. The restaurant even published their messages on the notebooks, which are available on the downstairs store.
It is a good place to relax after a tiring trip. Another thing you can entertain yourself in Makye Ame is reading the customers' messages and leaving you own. Years later, if possible, you could come back here and recall the memories of your last trip, or you could buy a published version if you want.
Makye Ame, a yellow building, used to the residential place for the sixth Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso three hundred years ago. The term Makye Ame comes from his poem, meaning "holy mother", "pure lady" or 'beautiful ancient dream" in Tibetan language.
Makye Ame has witnessed a romantic legend of the sixth Dalai Lama. One day Tsangyang Gyatso was having a rest there when a pretty young girl unveiled the door curtain, looking inside. Her moon-like face shone the tavern, as well as Tsangyang Gyatso's heart. This legend might be the best explanation of why this restaurant is in a romantic atmosphere.
