In a town of Labrang The nunnery formidable dominates a northern partial of a village. The white walls as well as golden roofs underline a blend of Tibetan architectural styles. The nunnery contains 18 halls, six institutes of learning, a golden stupa, a sutra discuss area, as well as houses nearly 60,000 sutras. There once were more than 2000 monks in residence, but right away only 500, due to a twelve year closure starting in 1958. It has a Buddhist notable relic with a vast collection of Buddha statues, sutras as well as murals. In addition, a vast amount of Tibetan language books, together with books on story is accessible for purchase, together with medicines, calendars, music as well as art objects.

The nunnery currently is an critical place for Buddhist ceremonies as well as activities. From 4 to seventeen Jan as well as 26 Jun to 15 Jul (these dates may change according to a lunar calendar), a good Buddhist rite will be held with Buddha-unfolding, sutra enchanting, praying, sutra debates, etc.

The monks are extremely accessible to foreigners, as well as used every event to practice their basic English which in most cases is self-taught. Accommodation is easy to find as well as a good accumulation of articles as well as souvenirs are available. Although a region is mostly rural as well as pastoral (including yak as well as alternative animal rearing), tourism is growing rapidly mainly due to a monastery.
