Tholing Monastery Photos
Located in the northwest corner of Zanda County, Tholing Temple is a noted monastery in Ngari, built by the prince of Guge Kingdom (10th to 17th Century) in early 11th Century. Tholing is Tibetan meaning 'flying in the sky and never falling'. Going through one thousand year's twists and turns, the monastery looks not as grand as it was, but still a charming building set in evening glow. Attraction Intro: Tholing Monastery
