Advantages: Beautiful, Exotic, Interesting,
Disadvantages: None really

...An absolutely beautiful religious site from the outside and inside. After the steep entrance fee and the wait in line to be one of the 750 people allowed to visit in the day it was all worth it. Outside it stands gloriously and its truly a work of art. Holding inside some of Tibets and buddhisms greatest treasures and greatest leaders. The Statues and miniature figures inside are well worth a look as they are some of the most sacred in buddhism. The tombs of the 13th dalai lama are a must see encrusted in priceless tibetan gems and minerals same goes for the stupa there made out of solid gold. When i was there there were many Tibetans and buddhists paying tribute to what i beleive to be on of the best buddist wonder of the world.... Read review
