Shigatse Market Traveling Tips

Shigatse market is located in the north of downtown city. It sells various daily necessities and is the most popular shopping place for local Tibetans. Whether you like shopping or not, this market will be worth a visit.

Besides, Tashi Jicai, located in the south of Shigatse, is a famous handicraft town in Tibet known for its processing of gold and silver. Here you can not only buy all kinds of waist knives, bracelets, necklaces, etc., but also see with your own eyes how a piece of rough metal can be made into fine, luxury crafts by the hands of skilled craftsmen, through smelting and hammering techniques that have been passed on from generations to generation.

In addition to the above two places, there are stalls and shops selling tourist souvenirs in many other counties in Shigatse, with prices ranging from a dozen to dozens of yuan.
