## About Zhaji Temple

The only temple dedicated to the God of Wealth in Tibet, where incense burns continuously every day. The principal deity of Zhaji Temple is said to enjoy liquor, so when worshipping here, besides khata (hada) and sang (juniper twigs), be sure to bring a bottle of baijiu or qingke (highland barley) liquor. If you haven't had time to prepare, vendors at the temple gate sell all three year-round, and the prices are not high.
