Or public temple , reconstructed by Queen Phuentsholing Chhoden, grandmother of the present king looks out over the town and the surrounding plains.

The Amo Chuu, commonly known as the Torsha River, is a favourite spot for fisherman and picnickers. The jungles that lie close by teem with wild animals and birds, for here the traveler is in the heart of Bhutan's subtropical southern zone.

From Phuentsholing the road winds north, over the southern foothills, through lush forested valleys and around the rigged north-south ridges of the inner of Thimpu and Paro.
