Wanla monastery

This monastery is reminiscent of Alchi (www.flickr.com/photos/14958189@N06/sets/72157627766854045/). The interior was being restored by some young German women when I visited. There seemed to me to be rather too thick a coat of red paint on the woodwork , so perhaps they will do something about that, which will result in the monastery being shown to better advantage, or perhaps the woodwork needs all that paint to protect it from extremes of climate.
