Visitor Centre in Tibet

The route to the Brahmaputra Canyon in the Himalayas passes through the impressive landscape along the Niyang River in southern Tibet. In a bid to increase tourism in this area, the Niyang River Visitor Centre was created, forming a gateway to the gorge 20 kilometers away. In order to assert itself in an exposed situation where the river meets the mountains, this monolithic structure is virtually sealed off from the outside world.
