Bakuo Street is built for the purpose of building Dazhao Temple. It has been built and developed with the development of Dazhao Temple. It has a history of more than 1300 years. In the 7th century, Songzangganbu, the Tibetan king, ordered the construction of the Dazhao Temple in Wotanghu Lake and four palaces around the lake. He and his concubines and subjects moved to the palace to supervise the progress of the Dazhao Temple project. Four palaces are the earliest buildings in Bakuo Street. After the completion of the Dazhao Temple, many pilgrims worshiped it. Over time, they gradually stepped out of a path around the Dazhao Temple, which was the original Bakuo Street. Around the monastery, 18 family-style buildings have been built to provide accommodation for pilgrims or businessmen on long-distance pilgrimages. After the 15th century, Dazhao Temple became the center of Buddhism communication. There were monk dormitories, religious schools, small temple buildings around it. Many Buddhists moved to live around Dazhao Temple. A large number of residential buildings, shops, hotels and handicraft workshops gradually appeared in the streets. With the deepening of the religious status of the Dazhao Temple, Tibetan Buddhism believes that the clockwise twisting around the Dazhao Temple as the center represents a pilgrimage to the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha in the Dazhao Temple. Bakuo Street has become one of the three major turning channels in Lhasa. Later, many vendors, pilgrims and tourists from Mongolia, Handi, Kashmir, Nepal, Bhutan, India and other regions and countries developed into religious, sightseeing, folk, cultural, commercial and shopping streets.
