murals

highlights of qinghai: xining , birds islands of qinghai lake, xining,ta'er monastery,yark butter flower,murals,thangka,tiaoqian, guomari shilun buddhism tower,longwu temple,

upon entering ta’er monastery, i notice that there are many murals of various kinds on walls, doors and pillars, with styles characteristic of both tibetan and hindu art. all of them look so bright and colourful that it is hard to imagine that they have been there for centuries. the guide tells us that the murals look so fresh because they were painted with natural pigments and gold powder.
