  "Mountains, grassland and Tibetan people"
  "Yala snow mountain is still in the cloud hiding when I visited Tagong in May. Mt. Yala, or Mt. Mjera is one of the best views in Tagong.

It is a life-size statue of the 8 years' old Sakyamuni, it is the copy of the Sakyamuni's statue in Jokhang Temple in Lhasa. It was said people made a copy when Princess Wencheng made a stop here on her journey to Tibet in Tang Dynasty but I read from elsewhere that she didn't pass here, she went another way. Entrance ticket cost doubled to 20 yuan now but it worth a visit. It is the closest one, compare to other monasteries and Buddhist schooles on the grassland. " More >
