Barkhor Street Travel Guide
Ticket Fee :For free
Opening Hours :Whole day.
Traffic :As the street is just located in the downtown, you can walk there casually.
DCT Tips :You should walk in a clockwise direction along the street.
It is better not stay too late in the street. Because there are many lanes there, it´s easy to lose your way in the evening.
Different vendors may sell the same thing at different price. So you´d better ask several vendors and get more information of the articles. Of course, you should also know how to bargain with them.
