The total length of this mountain road is quite long, and there are many relics about the master of the year in the legend. Gandantegchinlen Monastery is at a high altitude and the mountain is quite steep, so be sure to do what you can. 💫Entering the temple, the main building is the Cochin Hall, which has 108 pillars and the throne of Gandan Chiba, known as the highest center of the Yellow Sect. However, when the author went there, Cochin Hall was under maintenance. ✨To the left of the main hall is the Lingta Hall, which can be said to be the soul of Gandantegchinlen Monastery. It is a must-visit place. Everyone will walk around the Lingta of Tsongkhapa here and communicate with this great philosopher. 💫The clothing hall is the residence of Gandan Chiba of all ages and the place where Tsongkhapa died.
