The Enchanting Monasteries of Xigaze

Xigaze, located in Tibet Autonomous Region, is a city filled with serene landscapes and breathtaking monasteries. As I explored the city's unique culture, I found myself drawn to the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery and Sakya Monastery. The Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, founded by the first Dalai Lama, is an architectural marvel with stunning murals and intricate carvings. While Sakya Monastery features a unique blend of Tibetan and Han Chinese architecture. The quiet beauty and cultural significance of these monasteries left a lasting impression on me.
