Drak Yerpa, located at an altitude of 4,000 meters, is one of the fanes constructed under the order of Songtsen Gampo, the 7th century Tibetan king, as a gift to his concubine, which later became one of the four main retreat monasteries in Tibet. Famous for its integration of grottos, Drak Yerpa consists of a monastery and more than 80 meditation caves. (Xinhua/Purbu Zhaxi)
