Shigatse's "Red Square"
In every Chinese town we visited there was a large open square, usually located in front of a major monastery, dedicated to and praising the virtues of communism. This was Shigatse's "Red Square", as we were calling them. Located, of course, directly in front of Tashilunpo Monastery. This square was unique in the fact that it's central feature was an incredibly huge movie screen. Our imaginations could only guess what kind of propagandized films are shown on this screen.
