Located near Jokhang Temple, Ani Tsankhung Nunnery is the only nunnery in downtown Lhasa. First built in the 15th century, the approximately 100 Tibetan nuns who live there today make a livelihood through sales of alms, clothing, printed holy texts, as well as meals prepared daily at a now famous teahouse associated with the nunnery. Definitely worth a visit to sample perhaps the best traditional Tibetan sweet tea in Lhasa.
