Lower Wutun Monastery
སེང་གེ་གཤོང་མ་མགོ་དགོན།
Lower Wutun Monastery, next to the Upper Monastery, is known for its eight white stupas and a thangka painting studio where you can watch monks at work.
Lower Wutun Monastery is about 1 km from the Upper Monastery, and both are important centres of Rebgong art. A row of prominent stupas stands in front of the monastery, and its halls contain many murals and painted sculptures in the Rebgong style. The monastery has a thangka painting studio where monks are often seen painting, and some works can be purchased. Visitors usually combine it with the Upper Monastery on a joint ticket or visit both in one go, which takes about an hour in total. Ask permission before photographing painters or artworks inside the halls, and walk around clockwise.
