Lhasa People enjoy leisure life

For most people, the first impression of Lhasa City is its "slow" life. In Lhasa, you cannot find people hurrying down the street. Instead, you will slow down your space, too.

Lhasa is noted for its slow pace and comfortable living. To enjoy a genuine Lhasa life, you had better go to the sweet tea house, where you can drink sweet tea, chat with friends, enjoy the sunshine.

Drinking sweet tea is a part of Tibetan’s daily life. Besides home, tea houses are popular places people always go to drink tea and enjoy leisure life.

The tea house is a place where people gather together and socialize. In a tea house named Guang Ming at Barkhor Street in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, sit people from all walks of life — religious believers, tourists and local Tibetans.

A cup of Tibetan sweet costs only 0.6 Yuan but gives back a lot more than that.
