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.
The temple itself is small, and dwarfed further by the rocky hill under which it is tucked away. After visiting the temple, I set off to walk the kora - often, the best way to get an impression of sacred sites in Tibet. Soon after starting off the path, I had to lift bundles of prayer flags to follow the path, to duck under them or step over them. The views down were defined by prayer flags above and below me. The kora was very quiet: I only met a small group of three pilgrims on their way around. On the far side of the kora, the views over the continuation of Bida valley were good, before descending to the valley again. When I left the temple, I saw the three pilgrims on theri way up again. Who knows how many koras they wanted to walk that way. In honour of Princess Wencheng.
