Chitinsky Datsan

Chitinsky Datsan stands as a religious complex that combines traditional Buddhist architectural elements with local Russian building styles in eastern Siberia.

The monastery represents Buddhism's revival in Russia during the late 19th century, following the territorial expansion into the Transbaikal region.

The datsan functions as a center for Buddhist education, offering classes on philosophy, medicine, and religious practices to students and community members.

Visitors can reach the monastery through local transportation services, with several accommodations located within the surrounding urban environment of Chita.

The monastery maintains both philosophical and medical departments, following the traditional datsan structure found throughout Mongolia, Tibet, and Siberia.
