Image title
Gyantze Jong. The caption in Tibet and Lhasa reads: 'This photograph shows clearly the enormous natural strength of the rock-fortress, which was so gallantly stormed on the 6th July, 1904. The rock rises precipitously some 400 feet above the plain. All the houses and buildings are of stone and loopholed, at the foot of the hill is a network of dirty alleys and hovels from which the enemy kept up a heavy fire'.
