A small temple on a historical site is dwarfed by an ocean of prayer flags, which also cover some parts of the kora on the hill behind the temple.
One of the main historical figures for Tibetans is actually Chinese: Princess Wencheng. When, in the 7th century, Tibet was extending its territory both east and west, one of the consequences was forming alliances through marriage. King Songtsen Gampo had a Nepali bride, Princess Bhrikuti, and a Chinese one: Princess Wencheng. The marriage with the latter ensured peace between China and Tibet for the rest of the reign of Songtsen Gampo. Many people believe that the Nepali and Chinese princesses brought Buddhism to Tibet; Songtsen Gampo eventually outlawed not being a Buddhist.
