There were two Dzongpöns for every Dzong - a lama (Tse-dung) and a layman. They were entrusted with both civil and military powers and are equal in all respects, though subordinate to the generals and the Chinese Amban in military matters. It is the administrative centre of modern Xigazê County in the Xigazê Prefecture, a region of Tibet. It is located at an altitude of 3,840 metres (approx. 12,598 feet) at the confluence of the Yarlong Tsangpo (Wylie: yar lung gtsang po) (or Brahmaputra) and Nianchuhe rivers in west Tibet and was the ancient capital of U-Tsang province. It is also the name of the surrounding county. It contains the huge Tashilhunpo Monastery, founded in 1447 by Gendun Drup, the First Dalai Lama.It is the traditional seat of the Panchen Lamas. Until the Chinese arrived in the 1950s, the "Tashi" or Panchen Lama had temporal power over three small districts, though not over the town of Shigatse itself, which was administered by a dzongpön (general) appointed from Lhasa. Nearby attractions include: Tashilhunpo Monastery, traditional seat of the Panchen Lama and Mount Everest. |
