Great Turtle Hill - Shangri-La's Ancient Town Temple

The centrepiece of the Dukezong Ancient Town is the Guishan Buddhist Temple, also known as the 'Great Turtle Hill.' It is located in the heart of the old town atop the hill and houses the largest prayer wheel in the world. The modern temple is located on the site of an original 1667 construction consecrated to a replica of the Sakyamuni statue in Lhasa's Jokhang Temple. #shangrila #tripblazers #newyearadventure #香格里拉 #temple
