Worshippers make their way home along the main street after visiting the Tagong Monastery, located 200 km (124 miles) northwest of the city of Kangding, in Sichuan Province March 22, 2008. The town's shops were closed due to violence last week locals said. China has been grappling to quell unrest in several Tibetan towns and villages in the country's west, after Buddhist monk-led demonstrations in Tibet's capital Lhasa turned violent last week.
