This well preserved monastery locates 5 km to the north direction of central Lhasa city. Sera may not be as grandiose as Drepung, but is more serene surrounded by many small temples.

A trip to Tibet is a big loss if without experiencing the vital Potala Palace. Potala Palace is a structure of massive portions.
