Toding Monastery

It has become famous as the Indian senior monk Atisa arrived after experiencing 10 year hard traveling and presided the work of the monastery. It has since then attracted more monks from faraway. The murals in the Toding Monastery are of a free, wild and exaggerate style, like the works by Pablo Picasso.

(Admission to the monastery is 10 yuan. As the tourists to it are few, there are no people by the gate to sell tickets some times and you should look for them)
