Note 10 — Chapter IX · FUNERAL OF THE PANCHEN RINPOCHE.—VISIT TO THE GREAT LAMASERY OF SAMYE AND TO YARLUNG.

Reading edition

We reached Tos nam-gyaling djong10 early in the afternoon. This place is celebrated for the serge and broadcloth manufactured here. The Tib chu, as it flowed through the town between low banks covered with flowers, and the tall poplars and walnut trees surrounding the high, well-built houses, gave this place a most attractive appearance. We met here a party of Horba11 with a caravan of yaks laden with salt, which they had brought from the north for sale in this country.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
