It is linked by the traditional cantilever bridge (called the Nemi Zam) over the Pa Chu where one may pose a photograph

National Museum (Ta Dzong) - On a ridge immediately above Rinpung Dzong is Ta Dzong, originally built as a watchtower. In 1968, Ta Dzong was inaugurated as the first National Museum, and now holds a fascinating collection of art, relics, religious thangka paintings, Bhutan’s exquisite postage stamps, coins and handicrafts, together with a small natural history collection.

According to legend, all 108 temples were built in a single night.
