Q: How about the shopping markets in Tibet? Are there many fakes? Can I bargain? A: Shopping is centered mainly on Barkhor Street in Lhasa , and the free markets in Shigatse, where various kinds and grades of goods are available. Most of the goods in Barkhor Street can be bargained down to 1/3 of the asking price. As in other tourist cities, you may find some fakes there, but they can usually be differentiated by a close look. The exceptions are the Tibetan medicines and Thangkas. Authentic Tibetan medicines can be purchased in the Pharmaceutical Factory of Tibetan Medicine of Tibet, the Pharmaceutical Factory of Tibetan Medicine of Lhasa, and their respective retail departments, but they can't be bargained down. For Thangkas, you need an expert with you if you want to collect an authentic one.
