More than 3,000 Thangkas from Song Dynasty (960-1279), and Yuan and Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), are also considered treasures of Chinese Buddhism culture.
The Main Chanting Hall, also called Lakhang Chenmo in Tibetan, is a must-see for visitors both at home and abroad.
Covering an area of about 5,800 square meters, Lakhang Chenmo can hold about ten thousand monks chanting sutras at the same time.
