On the second day after arriving in Lhasa, I went to the Samye Monastery. Unlike many other ways of travel, I chose to use the most primitive ferry way to go to the Samye Monastery. It took almost half a day to wait for the boatman to reach the opposite side. It is already dark. After getting off the boat, I walked 90 minutes from the pier to the heart of the Samye Monastery.
