We ended our day in Gyantse, a small town with a dzong, a fortress, and a monastery. We didn't pay to enter either one, but walked around the cold Tibetan town. Gyantse is supposed to be one of the least Chinese-influenced towns in Tibet. There were a lot of folks sitting around the sunny side of the street drinking, playing dice, billiards, and socializing in the warm afternoon sun. On the cold side of the street (in the shade), there was frozen puddles of spit and water.
