At the outskirt of Shigatse.

Quartz Seller
In Karo La Pass where we can see a hanging glacier. Through our guide, I found out that she is 50 years old. We purchased some quartz from her all for few Yuan.
The stones are not polished, thus still have all the characteristic pattern of quartz. Good deal.

Tashilhunpo Monastery
Due to the change from the original trekking plan, we visited Tashilhunpo few days later than planned. And lucky us, the day that we visited is also the beginning of an annual festival (that will last three days.)
There were lots of people gathering outside Tashilhunpo. Lots of vendors from selling clothes to operating dice gambling stalls.
The monk pictured here has been engaging in conversation with our group before we enter the monastery. And he followed us for a long way. He tried too hard to force a going conversation, you can smell that he is up to something.
At the end of the visit, I heard from people from our group that he separately asked members of our group for money, after telling his own hard luck story.

Look!
Something is happening up in the hill where there is a castle like building. The lamas on the hill were playing traditional Tibetan sacred music with drums and horns.

Monks Cleaning Before Ceremony
