Tibetan quarter by Andrew_Vodo
The city now is divided in two parts - the chinese and tibetan one. You can see the Tibetan quarter on the picture. This is the typical tibetan building. You can see the black squares around the windows. Ususally there are small red and yellow curtains on them. These colours symbolize three main gods of Tibet: Yellow - Avalokitesvara, the god of compassion, Read - Manjushri, the god of wisdom, and Black - the protective deity, I think, Yamantaka (I can be wrong :))
