Tsetserleg

First stop, the town buddha. There used to be a large temple complex here until it was levelled during the Lama purges in 1937. All that remains is this hill section and the three buildings in the middle of the picture



The statue is new


and work is under way to restore the little temple behind it. Here pictured are our travelling companions. With Gek are Lyn, John, Baysaa and Amaraa. The cheeky lads at the top of the picture part of the crew putting the temple back together again.
