Shigatse, Tibet



It's a two-hour bus ride to Shigatse, Tibet's second largest town. The big draw here is Tashilhunpo Monastery, the seat of Panchen Lama, although he actually lives in Beijing.

Shigatse reminds me of a smaller version of Lhasa: the same street sellers, shops and Tashi restaurants.
