Longge Monastery
隆格寺
A Tibetan Buddhist monastery on the southern foot of Nianbaoyuze, backed by peaks and facing a river valley. It is a cultural stop on the self-drive loop around Nianbaoyuze.
Longge Monastery lies in the Longge village area on the south side of Nianbaoyuze in Jiuzhi County. It is backed by the Nianbaoyuze mountains and faces a river valley grassland. The monastery is of moderate size, with a prayer hall, a circumambulation corridor and stupas in traditional style. Nearby herders' settlements offer a glimpse of Golog pastoral life. Admission is free. Follow monastery etiquette and walk clockwise. The access road is a rural road that turns muddy in the rainy season, so an off-road vehicle is recommended. It's best combined with Baiyu Monastery on the same day's loop.
