Lonely Planet review for Tomb of the Fifth to the Ninth Panchen Lamas

Built by the 10th Panchen Lama to replace tombs destroyed in the Cultural Revolution, the central statue is of the ninth Panchen Lama. The 10th Panchen Lama returned to Shigatse from Beijing to dedicate the tomb in 1989. He fulfilled his prediction that he would die on Tibetan soil just three days after the ceremony.
