The main sight of Shigatse, the monastery of Tashilhunpo is like a separate village lying agains the hills, with much more to see than temples and monks quarters.
When I entered Tashilhunpo monastery through the main gate, it felt like walking into a separate village. I found myself on a huge square, and could see the gilded roofs of some of the chapels in a distance. Otherwise, I saw streets and alleys, with monks passing through as real villagers. Instead of rushing to the chapels directly, I decided to take more time to explore the quiet, whitewashed streets, discovering some small squares on the way. This monastery, which is actually one of the great Gelugpa establishments, was founded in the mid-15th century by Genden Drup, who was later named the First Dalai Lama.
