The first Dalai Lama and a most outstanding disciple of Tsong Khapa founded Tashilhunpo Monastery in 1477. Tashilhunpo is the seat of the Panchen Lama since the Fourth Panchen Lama took charge in the monastery, and there are now nearly 800 lamas.Tashilunpo Monastery represents the Tibetan super architecture art in the Last Tibetan spirit.

Tashilumpo Monastery is about 13,000 feet high above sea level. The air is rarified and the sunlight is strong.
At the gate of Tashilumpo Monastery, I already feel it’s special.
