Palkhor Monastery and Kumbum Stupa: Tibet's Architectural Marvels

#travelinginchina Palkhor Monastery and Kumbum Stupa are sacred Tibetan Buddhist sites. In spring, the surroundings bloom with vibrant flowers. The monastery features stunning murals, intricate carvings, and ornate temples. The Kumbum Stupa is a 9-story tower with 108 chapels. Visiting Palkhor and Kumbum in spring was breathtaking. The colorful flowers and tranquil atmosphere created a sense of peace. Witnessing pilgrims circumambulate the stupa was a humbling experience.
