松赞林寺; Sōngzànlínsì; Tibetan: Ganden Sumtseling Monastery
Impressive structure becoming less of a monastic institution, more of a tourist destination. The temple was restored by an architect named Xu Wei Han in 2005 to reflect its past glories. Minor restoration are still done (August 2017) which could limit access to some parts of the monastery.
Take at least a half-day, if not a full day, to visit the park.
