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.
Apart from the main temple, we are invisted to see the small workshop where Tibetans are preparing metal, and making the decorations that will be used on the ornamental doors of the temple. For someone from a mass production area, it is amazing to see how this is all done in handwork. Outside, all one needs to do is sit down by one of the sides of the temple, and see all the devout people coming by, setting the old prayer wheels in motion, looking barely in front of themselves. The view is supposed to be great here, but even with the low clouds of the day and the rain, without the view, we thoroughly enjoy our visit.
