This 14th century fort looms over the town and the surrounding Nyang-chu Valley. It's a 20 minute walk up a snaking path plus a further hike up some very steep steps to reach the top. The views are worth the effort.
At the foot of Gyantse Dzong is the 'Memorial Hall of Anti British', a room filled with a warped account of the 1904 British invasion stating 'Tibet is an inalienable part of the motherland...' and how content the people are now that it's under communist rule.
