The National Monument was built on the vision of His Majesty Jigme Dorje Wangchuck, the third king of Bhutan, the father of modern Bhutan. After the pagoda was completed in 1974, he unfortunately passed away. This is a monument built not only to commemorate the late king, but also for world peace, and it is also a place where the daily turrets of Thimphu people are concentrated.

This is a famous tourist attraction in Bhutan, many tourists come here to watch. This monument looks like a big tower, white and very powerful. Not bad.
The iconic building in Thimphu was built on the vision of His Majesty Wangchuck (father of modern Bhutan) of King Jinmei III of Bhutan. He died after the pagoda was completed in 1974. It is a monument both to commemorate the late king and to world peace and is the most concentrated place of the daily turnaround of the Thimphus, which locals believe can wash away previous sins. The National Monument is also a pagoda, with many sacred religious paintings and tantric Buddha statues inside. The large gold-topped building does not store the remains of King III, but houses a portrait of him for the people to admire. Below the bells ring in the wind, there are long queues of devout detours, and many royal and religious leaders are said to be visiting.
Timphu Bhutan National Monument, Bhutan's landmark, sacred legend, many believers around the monument to turn tower, according to the tour guide, this can eliminate disasters, recruit blessings, in short, I also turned a lot of circles, I hope I can also be blessed.
Monuments are not towering stone monuments in our traditional concepts, but also pagodas. Every morning and evening, people will go to the nearest pagoda to worship, turn around the pagoda clockwise, or licke a few long heads to turn the prayer wheel. A holy place for the people of Bhutan to pray for peace, doves symbolizing peace are scattered on the eaves of the gate. National Monument: The iconic building of Thimphu, built in memory of King III of Bhutan, is also a holy place for the people of Bhutan to pray for peace.
Bhutan is really a city that Buddha kissed, the national monument is also a pagoda, the interior is a collection of sacred religious paintings and tantric Buddha statues, several elderly people sitting under the wooden red-painted large prayer wheels, praying for peace and happiness, longevity to eliminate disasters. I also followed the religious footsteps around the tower three times, tired, just rested on the pagoda, basking in the sun, Lala homely, life is flat and beautiful. Must visit attractions. Transportation: You can walk to Thimphu by bus from Bhutan, or chartered a car.
