The tourism center features the Drakyerba Monastery, a Tibetan Nyingma School monastery built in the seventh century, which is both a key pilgrimage site for Buddhists and a tourist attraction.
Chungkyi, an official from the Lhasa tourism development bureau, said the Drakyerpa scenic site, enriched with profound Tibetan history and culture, receives heavy investment from all levels of government.
"China has been promoting a village prosperity strategy in recent years, and the development plan of the village tourism center coincides with the state's overall plan. We hope more remote villagers will also benefit from tourism as early as possible," said Chungkyi.
