Shigatseについて
The Tashilhunpo Monastery complex is vast — a city within a city — containing dozens of temples, assembly halls, golden-roofed tombs of the Panchen Lamas, and the world's largest gilded statue of the Maitreya Buddha at 26.2 metres high. Shigatse sits on the overland Friendship Highway route to Nepal, making it a key overnight stop for epic cross-Himalayan journeys. Mount Everest Base Camp lies approximately 6 hours to the south, and the Rongbuk Monastery — the world's highest monastery — is nearby.

Tashilhunpo Monastery requires half to a full day — hiring a local guide greatly enhances the visit
Shigatse market offers authentic Tibetan jewelry, thangka paintings, and prayer flags at better prices than Lhasa
Altitude is 3,836m — same precautions as Lhasa apply for acclimatization
Bring local currency — card acceptance is limited in Shigatse compared to Lhasa
