Monastery at Gyantse


Monastery at Gyantse

It cost 40 RMB to enter, but I wasn't interested. Outside there were a few beggars, but nothing compared to Lhasa. Lhasa was teeming with beggars. It was explained to me that a lot of the beggars were nomads who had lost their way of life with the shrinking herds of yak in Tibet.
