The ancient castle of Gyantse Dzong is located on Zongshan Mountain in the urban area of Gyangze County, not far from Baiju Temple, and is especially spectacular from a distance below the mountain. This is the place where the Tibetan people fought against the invading British army in 1904, the location of Gyantse Dzong and the filming location for the movie "Red River Valley". Now it has been identified as a patriotic education base. The castle has exhibition rooms, such as a memorial that immortalizes the Tibetan warriors who preferred to jump off the cliff before surrendering to the invading army.
The castle retains many original Gyantse Dzong settings, such as the dungeons. In the permanent rooms of the castle we can glimpse the original appearance of Gyantse Dzong, when it was a feudal palace, and it reproduces how people lived in those times.
