Shigatze
UNRATED
[Edit]
Overview
Shigatze is the second largest city in Tibet. It is famous for the Tashilhunpo Monastery built in 1447- the seat of the Panchen Lama that once housed over 4000 monks, but now there are only 600. Very little remains of the old Shigatse Fortress, but the ruins on the skyline are imposing all the same.
