We met our guide, Nancy, who took us to the Songzanlin Monastery,
which is one of the largest Buddhist monasteries in the region. It was begun in 1679, but burned down 40 years ago and is being rebuilt by the 
700 monks who live there. It is beautifully decorated and filled with many buddhas, pictures, sculptures and books. 
We had to climb over 200 stairs 
to get to the main hall-but what a beautiful view of the countryside.
