拉萨现存的老房子主要集中在八廓区、吉日区和夏萨苏区。在其它旧城街道中,大部分建筑物已被新盖的公共房屋所替代,少数老房子分散其间。拉萨的房屋,如同卫藏的大多数居民建筑一样,主要由石料、泥土和木料建造,其中有一中心庭院。平屋顶和夯土墙为其明显特征。 The existing old houses in Lhasa are mainly concentrated in the Barku, Jiri and Sasassu districts. In other streets of Old City, most of the buildings have been replaced by new public houses, with a few old houses dispersed. Lhasa’s houses, like most residential buildings in Tibet, are mainly built of stone, earth and timber, including a central courtyard. Flat roofs and rammed earth walls are obvious features.
