Jingang Monastery
རྡོ་རྗེ་བྲག་དགོན།
A Nyingma monastery on a hillside south of Kangding, laid out like a garden with halls half hidden among ancient trees. The setting is peaceful.
Jingang Monastery lies on the hillside south of Kangding, not far from Nanwu Monastery. It belongs to the Nyingma school and is said to have been first built in the Ming dynasty. The monastery is built into the slope, and its halls, white stupas and ancient trees in the courtyards together form a layout reminiscent of a garden. It is a quiet spot on the outskirts of Kangding. Entry is free, but please follow monastery rules when entering the halls. It is about 10 minutes by taxi from central Kangding, and you can connect it with Nanwu Monastery on foot, so visiting both takes about half a day.
