Description
The Ganden Sumtseling Monastery, also known as Sungtseling and Guihuasi, is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the city of Zhongdian at elevation 3,380 metres (11,090 ft) in Yunnan province, China. It is situated against a backdrop of vast rolling hills accented with high, sharp, snow-covered mountain peaks in the distance – a wondrous view. The monastery, built in 1679, is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan province.
Gilded roofs, prayer flags, and monks in colored robes add to the sounds of chanting, prayer bells, and drums all surrounded by the fragrance of incense created an exotic aura of peace.
