A brightly coloured town of the Tibetan highlands, Tagong holds a very old lamasery where you can spend hours exploring the out- and inside of this remarkable and peaceful monastery.
According to legend, when princess Wengcheng passed through this area with the Jowo Skakyamuni statue as her dowry on the way to Lhasa, in the 7th century, the statue asked to be left behind in Tagong. Since the princess did not want to upset the emperor, the statue was copied on the spot, and the copy is still visible in one wing of the monastery. We did not see any talking statues, but instead, let ourselves be engulfed by the quiet, murmured rhythmic prayer of the monks inside the main temple, the scarce light revealing the mainly yellow and red decorated interior of the temple.
