About Tagong Monastery
Thangka paintings, painted sculpture and wall decoration provide an intimate counterpoint to the open grassland outside. Its stupa group adds a varied collection of tower forms around the religious compound. This is an active place of pilgrimage: move quietly, follow the indicated circulation and ask before photographing interiors or people at worship.
What to look for
- The permitted temple rooms contain thangka paintings, painted sculpture and wall decoration.
- The monastery’s stupa group combines several forms within the grassland-town setting.
