China/Tibet 2013-096-Gyantse dzong (fortress)



Sept. 2013

This fortress was built around the 9th century, and is mainly famous for the determined resistance of the Tibetans against far superior British forces around 1903. Hundreds of Tibetan died during those two months. Later, the walls were dynamited again by the Chinese in 1967 during the cultural revolution, but the fortress was gradually restored.

Des centaines de Tibétains meurent durant ces deux mois. Plus tard les murs sont dynamités en 1967 durant la révolution culturelle, mais la foreresse est progressivement restaurée.
