Manzushir monastery

Tibetan Buddhist monastery that was mostly destroyed by the Chinese. Only one building is original from 1733. That is the building in pics 3-5. The first pic is a diorama of what the site looked like before it was destroyed when some 300 monks were here . Second is a long shot of the site. All the rocks/boulders are natural, and landscape like this is not common here. Probably the reason for it being a holy site. In the 3rd pic, the old building has the yellow roof. There are several small structures that were ruined, and you can see one to the right of the old building, up the hill. The 4th pic looks closer at the original front of the old building, while the 5th is one of the shrines inside. Last is the view from the front of the 1733 building.Read more
