is also called Tsedang, is the cradleland of Tibetan civilization, it is 200km far from Lhasa.

1. Samye Monastery, it was built in 761 and is the first formal monastery that establishes triratna in Tibet. Combining Chinese, Tibetan and Indian architecture style, the structure reflects the ideal universe of Buddhism. There are many valuable and unique murals which hardly can be seen at anywhere else. Usually we will take a ferry to visit it crossing the Yurlong Tsangpu River.

2.Trandruk Monastery, Built in 7th century, Trandruk Monastery is the first Buddhist chapel in Tibet. It houses a precious pearl Thangka brought here by Princess Wencheng. This Thangka is inlaid of thousands of pearls and hundreds of other gems. Located 5 kilometers south of Tsedang, the monastery is on the road leading to Yumbu Lakhang, the first palace in Tibet. So when time permits, we will arrange the visit to Trandruk Monastery and Yumbu Lakhang on the same day.
