golden temple


The Golden Temple, also known as Songzanlin Monastery, is a magnificent Tibetan Buddhist temple complex located in Shangri-La, Yunnan, China. Resembling the Potala Palace in Lhasa, it is often referred to as the 'Little Potala Palace' and stands as the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan. The temple not only serves as a spiritual center but also houses many precious cultural relics and is an architectural marvel combining both Tibetan and Han Chinese styles.
