Ramqe Temple

Built in the middle of the seventh century, it is located at the north-side of Lhasa, burnt and rebuilt in succession. There are frescos and statues of Sakyamuni, Mozulji, Maitreya in the temple. Sakyamuni’s twelve-year-old life-sized gilded statue is in the main hall.

It’s said that when princess WhenCheng passed there, the carriage which hold the statue fell into the soil, after a short but deep thinking, princess WhenCheng decided to leave it there. And the Temple was built later.
