introduce

Ganzi Temple is a large Gelug Sect monastery of Tibetan Buddhism in Ganzi Prefecture, with a history of nearly 350 years. It is located on a herringbone-shaped hillside in the north of Ganzi County, facing south and built on the mountain. It is a typical temple combining Tibetan and Han.

The huge and dense building complex is majestic and majestic. The main hall is a civil structure, with one base and four floors, four corner cornices, clear layers, covered with glazed tiles, copper vases, copper ruyi, etc., which has national characteristics. The main buildings of the temple include a large scripture hall, 10 small scripture halls, and a Maitreya hall. 550 monks "Zhacang" (monk's courtyard) are evenly distributed around each hall, and the organization is rigorous and well-arranged. Below the monk's house is a denser residential group, surrounded by temples, reflecting the temple's status above the world.

The top floor of the main hall is a palace-style square pavilion with four-corner cornices and glazed tiles shining brightly in the sun, which is extraordinary. It is also a very beautiful thing to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Ganzi on the platform of Ganzi Temple in the evening.
