The Panchen Lama's Tashihunpo Monastery
The Panchen Lama's Tashilhunpo Monastery
Shigatse's main attraction is this monastery, the seat of the Panchen Lama. Built in 1447 by a nephew of Tsongkhapa, the monastery once housed over 4000 monks, but now there are only 600.
Apart from a giant statue of Maitreys Buddha (nearly 27m high) in the Temple of the Maitreya, the monastery is also famed for its Grand Hall, which houses the opulent tomb (containing 85kg of gold and masses of jewels) of the fourth Panchen Lama.
