Curie Temple

Curie temple is the nearest Tibetan temple to Xinduqiao and the most prestigious Lama Temple in the area. After 47 generations of Khenpo and three generations of living Buddhas, the second Khenpo awandodan was the imperial master of the seventh Dalai Lama.

The most classic collection in the temple is the 108 volumes of Ganzhuer Tripitaka, which has a history of more than one thousand years. There are only three copies left in the world, and there are also 18 conch shaped relics from the Fahai living Buddha's Fagu. There are also national treasure murals preserved for 600 or 700 years, as well as the unique butter flower and the pagoda of Fahai living Buddha.

The attraction is not only the mysterious temple, but also the burial platform behind the hillside outside the temple.
