In 1679 the fifth Dalai Lama - Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso - asked the Chinese Emperor Kangxi for permission, chose the site himself, built the temple and gave it his name. Qing Emperor Yongzheng gave it the Chinese name of Guihua Monastery . The temple was the residence of well-known Tibetan Buddhist monks.
It is on the route of many tourists to Tibet . The border with Sichuan Province is also nearby.
