Ganden Monastery

The monastery is located at the top of Wangbur Mountain. The buildings are in typical Tibetan style, it is three times as large as Potala Palace and contains now more than 4,000 monks at its peak. The reputation of Ganden Monastery is not smaller than its size. The extremely fabulous view on the top of Ganden Wangpo Hill make Ganden Monastery more attractive to travelers all over the world. In dispute of the cruel ruination before done by the Chinese invasion, the monastery became a new born cultural heritage.
