It holds 19 hermitages and 4 nunneries. The Sera Bengqin Festival is held in this monastery. Then we go to visit the Drepung monastery. It is located at Mt. Gambo Utse, which is on the western side of Lhasa city, about 5 km away. The courtyard sites are always chosen near Zhacang and various trees are grown. It was wonderfully constructed in the form of caves and temples with white pagodas. Then we visit the Jokhang temple, located on Barkhor Square in Lhasa.
