Located in Xining's Huangzhong County, it belongs to the Gelug (or Yellow) School of Tibetan Buddhism. Kumbum Monastery has a number of ancient buildings including the main hall, Scripture Hall, Buddha Pagoda, and academy. At the center of the monastery complex, visitors will find the Dajinwa (Great Golden Tile) Temple. According to legend, this temple was erected on the site where Je Tsongkhapa, founder of the Gelug School, was born. A visit to Kumbum is not complete without taking the time to see and appreciate the butter sculptures, the murals, and the elaborate embroidery. The entire temple complex is full of magnificent buildings and rich treasures. However, the true charm of the complex lies in its holy atmosphere. It is one of the greatest tourist attractions in Xining.

    "How to say it, the picturesque scenery around the lake along the way, and it is very beautiful to stop at any time, but it is always blocked by more or less iron nets, in order to enter the ticket. But after watching a circle, it is a bit boring to go to the scenic spot. Walking around, it is basically a park and business. There are many people in the place where you can really see the lake. The scenery is not as good as outside."
