Anjue Monastery
安觉寺
A Gelug monastery in central Kangding, beside an old street and within walking distance. It is a convenient place to learn about Tibetan Buddhist monasteries.
Anjue Monastery lies on the banks of the Zheduo River in central Kangding. It belongs to the Gelug school and was first built in the Qing dynasty. The halls house Buddha statues and murals, and monks chant scriptures daily, while devotees circumambulate at the gate. Since it is in the old town, it is about 10 minutes’ walk from the Love Song Square, making it a good stop on your first day in Kangding while you acclimatize to the altitude. Entry is free. Please do not take photos inside the hall and walk clockwise around it.
