Shigatse Shopping

Shopping in Shigatse

  1. Tibet Gang Gyen Carpet Factory

    Beside the Gang Gyan Hotel, 100m down a dirt track (follow the enormous signs), this French joint venture exports 100% Tibetan wool carpets to America and Europe. It's fun to visit just to look around as women work on the carpets, singing as they weave, dye, trim and spin; you are free to take photographs. Expect to pay a few hundred dollars (US), plus shipping, for a carpet measuring 185cm by 90cm. Note that almost half the profits go to Tashilhunpo Monastery.
