Lesser-known Tibetan Monastery - Baiju Monastery with One Hundred Thousand Stupas
The last stop in Shigatse .
Baiju Monastery is now a Gelugpa temple, but its main hall still maintains the style of the Sakya sect, which can be recognized at a glance.
The preservation of the murals is obviously not as good as Gongga Quzhen Temple, the weathering and fading are extremely severe, only the compartments in the One Hundred Thousand Stupas are still acceptable.
Although it is a man-made stupa, it looks incredibly like the mainland's grotto temples... even several times, it feels like returning to the mainland.
