Constructed in 1409 by Tsongkhapa, founder of the Buddhist Gelupa, the Ganden Monastery plays a prior role during the six famous temples of Gelugpa. The three-storey Coqen Hall is the main building in the temple, in which the statues of Maitreya and Tsongkhapa are stored. On the other hand, the abundant worthless historical treasures preserved here make the temple more popular. Attraction Intro: Ganden Monastery
