Walking eastward from the famous Barkhor Street in Lhasa 100 meters, there is an Islamic church at No.6 Dongzisu Road, Hebalin Hui community in the southeast of the old city of Lhasa. The top of the church gate is decorated with a crescent moon, and the words "Great Muslim Temple in Lhasa, Tibet" are written in Arabic, Tibetan and Chinese. A plaque of "Ancient Muslim Religion" hangs in the open hall of the mosque. The whole mosque is decorated with flowers and plants commonly used in Islam, with blue as the keynote, which brings people a beautiful feeling of perfect combination of rich religious characteristics and local architectural art. In the past, Lhasa people divided the Hui people in Lhasa into two categories. One category was called Barkhor Banner, and most of them lived in Barkhor Street to do business. The other is called He Balinca Banner, which is the Hui nationality living in the southeast of the old city of Lhasa today. The word "Khaki" in Tibetan refers to Muslims who believe in Islam. Most of them live around mosques and have a strong sense of community. Muslim restaurants near the dining/accommodation/shopping mosque are very concentrated and have authentic tastes. The transportation is only a few steps away from the city center.
