Labrang Nyingba - 1998

A spectacular building that served as home to Tsongkapa and to the Fifth Dalai Lama at different periods, Labrang Nyingba was restored by Lhasa City with funding from Beijing. THF was invited as consultant and to provide the necessary installations for the toilet system in the eastern wing (the western wing having been done by THF in 1998).
