At the Ganden Monastery complex
The complex is one of the earliest and largest Buddhist monasteries in Tibet, and stands atop of the six famous temples of Gelugpa - a branch of Tibetan Buddhism. Its significance as a religious, artistic, political and cultural relic led to it being preserved by the National Key Cultural Relic Preservation scheme in 1961, and is now known as being one of the 'Three Great Temples', together with the Sera Monastery and the Drepung Monastery.
This part was just finished of restoring. Some Tibetan (or Chinese) wood carver worked with much patience to rebuild the original Tibetan woodworks.
