Jiri Monastery
吉日寺
A Gelug Tibetan Buddhist monastery at about 3,800 m in Tanggu Township, founded in the Longqing reign of the Ming dynasty and one of Jiulong County's well-known old Yellow Hat temples.
Jiri Monastery sits on Mount Pamu in the Zhonggu group of Tanggu Village, Tanggu Township, at about 3,800 m, roughly 25 km from the county seat. Founded during the Longqing reign of the Ming dynasty (1567–1572), it belongs to the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, known as the Yellow Hat sect, and is one of the older and more influential monasteries in Jiulong County. The monastery stands on a high slope with views of the snow peaks and forests around Wushuhai. When visiting, walk around the monastery clockwise, ask the monks' permission before photographing inside the halls, and do not touch the ritual objects. The mountain road is steep, so watch for altitude sickness. Coordinates are from Wikidata.
