On the other side of the gondola from the glacier is a trail that takes you to this Tibetan place of worship. From that point you can see the glacier and the sacred Gonga Mt. on a clear day. We did not have such a clear day. On the post you can see the Tibetan writing on the left and the Chinese characters on the right- not very similar. The white shawls draped across the rocks to the left symbolize peace and they have a custom of draping them across a guest's shoulders when they welcome them. I am not sure of the symbolism of having them on the wall. The colorful flags in the background have prayers written on them. The Tibetans believe that as the wind moves the flags the prayers are repeated and carried to the heavens. Thus prayer flags are usually only found in windy spots.
