Gönlung Jampa Ling monastery, Buddhist monastery in Huzhu Tu Autonomous County, China.

The Gönlung Jampa Ling monastery occupies a large complex with traditional Tibetan architectural elements, including prayer halls and residential quarters for monks.

Founded in 1584, the monastery became a center of Buddhist learning in northeastern Tibet and underwent reconstruction in 1732 following destruction during political conflicts.

The monastery maintains the traditions of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism through regular prayer sessions, religious ceremonies, and educational programs for monks.

Visitors can reach the monastery by taking a bus from Xining city to Huzhu Tu Autonomous County and following the signs to the religious complex.

The monastery houses rare Buddhist manuscripts and contains specific architectural features that combine Tibetan, Chinese, and Tu minority cultural influences.
