Gesar Ling

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:56:01

On the north side of Parma Ri is the Gesar Ling, a Chinese construction dating back to 1793 that was recently renovated. It is the only Chinese-style temple in Lhasa. The main red-walled temple has a Chinese-style statue of Guandi, the Chinese God of War, while a separate yellow chapel holds the Tibetan equivalent, the mythical warrior Gesar, along with statues of Jampelyang, Chana Dorje (Vajrapani) and Chenresig.
