Snap' Description
Ditch the generic commercial grocery grids and submerge your senses in the authentic culinary economy and slow lifestyle lines of old Lhasa at the Danjielin Sweet Tea Street. This bustling marketplace comes alive every afternoon as local operators boil fresh milk inside massive aluminum pots, mix hand-crushed black tea leaves, and distribute steaming mugs to elders resting on wooden benches.
