Just outside Lhasa, you can find Drepung monastery. Once the largest monastery of the world, it survived the last decades relatively well and has a small village atmosphere.
When I was cycling west on a busy road with Chinese trucks, new cars and few cyclists, I wondered if I was really on the right way to Drepung monastery. After all, Drepung used to be the largest monastery of any religion in the world, larger than the other famous monasteries of Tibetan buddhism, Sera and Ganden. At its peak, it counted more than 15,000 monks in its walls. Soon after taking the turn-off to the right, the road started climbing, and I had to change gears to make it to the entrance of the monastery, on a nice road through trees.
