Tibetan Temples, Monasteries and Doors

 

 

 

Temples, monasteries and beautiful doors abound in Tiber.  So much history dating back 600+ years that even captivated the kids for a while ( then they got temples out).   There were temples in Lhasa, way way up in the mountains outside Lhasa, in Gyantse and in Tingri.  A lot was destroyed during the Chinese invasion in the 50s and 60s.  However, a lot was protected by local authorities then and has been renovated by Tibetans over the last 60+ years of occupation.
