Dominating the skyline of Gyantse, the fortress is run down but offers great views of the town, the famous Gyantse Kumbum and the surrouding valleys.
As we got closer, the fortress was attracting me like a magnet and it was my first destination of the town. Fortunately, the altitude - some 4,000 metres - was no problem after having spent weeks at this altitude. The ticket office at street level was closed and apparently not in use, but when I arrived at the entrance to the fortress proper, a very unfriendly Tibetan tried to make me pay to enter without wanting to give a ticket, then offered a "discounted" entrance fee without ticket, or the official entrance fee with a ticket. I can only hope that buying the ticket will some day contribute to restoration works on the fortress. Highly necessary: after the fortress was partly destroyed during the Younghusband expedition in 1904, it was further damaged by the Chinese and now is in a sorry state.
