Drepung Monastery Pictures
Every hall in the Drepung Monastery was well constructed and decorated. The major buildings include the Ganden Potrang where the Dalai Lamas' residence, the Conqen Hall preserves some Buddhist treasures and the four Zhacangs (Tantric clloeges).
Drepung Monastery is one the three greatest Buddhist temples in Lhasa together with Sera and Ganden Monasteries. This temple was originally built in 1416 when the Buddhist Gelug Sect was in its golden age. Therefore, as the typical building of Gelug Sect, it once was a most magnificent monastery where one can find the highest number of monks in Tibet. Now, it is a holy place for pilgrims and travelers.

150ReplyCurrently, it is still the low travels season for local tourism. The local Tourism Bureau slashed ticket prices for most major local tourist sites last October. It was the first time that local authority has drastically cut its ticket prices for almost all its tourist attractions. The reduced prices remain effective from October 20 to April 20.
Ticket prices at most natural and cultural spots in Lhasa, Nyingchi and Shigatse (Xigaze) were cut by half. The ticket price of the Baksum Tso Lake was reduced from CNY 100 to CNY 50. The admission fee for the Yarlong Tsangpo (Brahmaputra) River decreased from CNY 150 to CNY 75.
However, the ticket price of the Potala Palace will remain CNY 100 till April 30, 2009. The admission fee for the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa was reduced from CNY 70 to CNY 35. The ticket prices of the Drepung and the Sera Monasteries is CNY 25 each.
