There is a small youth hostel close to the bus terminal, where they rent bicycles. The price was roughly ¥43 per day, which is equal to 5 euro.

What to see in Gyantse

  • Pelkor Choede - regarded as the center of Gyantse, this is a yellow hat monastery. The structure was well preserved during the culture revolution, however the original charm of this monastery has lost somehow due to the noticeable lack of maintenance. Most interior paintings are difficult to see without special lighting equipment.
  • Gyantse Dzong - The fort has a few exhibitions detailing the history & use of the Dzong. A new exhibition center has been built by the main gate and houses an Anti-British Imperialists museum. It is a steep climb to the top of the fort but the views are well worth it.
  • Gyantse Kumbum (Pelkor Chorten) - located within Pelkor Choede, eight story structure with Buddhist images and statues with extremely detailed features. The second floor is the most interesting floor!
