An overall view of the Putuozongchengmiao Temple grounds (from Wikipedia).
This temple is a small scale model of the Dalai Lama's Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet. All of the
pictures on this page and the following page are from this temple. We started at the main gate in the
lower left (the next picture) and made it all the way to the top!
