Paro Dzong Fort is also called Riqing Pong Dzong Fort, which means "jewelry pile on the fortress". It is one of the most famous temples in Bhutan and a representative of Bhutan's classic architecture. Once used as a fortress to defend the Paro Valley, it stands tall above the town of Paro and is very conspicuous. It is like other dzongs in Bhutan. This is the location where the Bhutanese movie "Little Living Buddha" was filmed, and it is also the location where Tony Leung and Carina Lau's wedding dresses were filmed.
