Jokhang Temple in Lhasa reopens to visitors

At the left side of the main entrance of the temple, pilgrims and visitors lined up to visit on Wednesday morning. They were reminded by workers to wear face masks. Tibetan vendors selling butter lamps and other local products were hawking their wares around the main entrance.

Dorje Tashi, a Tibetan resident from Qinghai province, said he was pleased to hear that Jokhang Temple had reopened for visitors and that his relatives have been waiting to visit for months.
